I am wondering if taking any close combat weapons are worth taking on a small force of Militarum Tempestus?

I'm not feeling power swords but maybe a maul. Power fists seem to be the best option but the same price as space marine? Its a bit pricey.

I'd like someone's input on who has played MT enough to say if it is genuinely worth spending the points on.

Any input would be appreciated ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/704459/8942909.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/704459/8942909.page GMT MT lack the Heavy Hitter and some other Key-Unit types.

They are very good as supporting units but a MT Army on its own will not make it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/704459/8942968.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/704459/8942968.page GMT

Space wolves and Genie cults can handle the close combat side and the armour pen but, imo they struggle with reliable/durable infantry from range - power and terminator armour primarily.

With the option to deep strike the squads with a pair of melta or plasma in there, with AP3 shooting too (albeit S3) will be a nice addition.

Should they get charged though, shall i Tau mentality (sack them off) or do i throw in a power fist/weapon to try to win the combat?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/704459/8943038.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/704459/8943038.page GMT imho a waste of points on a S3 T3 model.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/704459/8943121.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/704459/8943121.page GMT
