Without any actual experience in game play (my first army is still under construction), they seem like a cheaper terminator at 18 points, 2w, 2a (+1 with combat knives) and 3+ save. I imagine we will be getting some sort of Primaris rhino (though...not the actual Primaris Rhino) or an ability to deep strike them and probably some upgrades in the future. While not as tough as termies, the ability to put together a 10 man unit (20 wounds, 31 attacks) at 180 points seems to me to be a decent unit.

What do you guys think? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/733185/9499799.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/733185/9499799.page GMT Reivers as a CC unit
Might be better for dropping on an objective, or stiffening with a character.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/733185/9499818.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/733185/9499818.page GMT Reivers as a CC unit http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/733185/9499933.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/733185/9499933.page GMT Reivers as a CC unit

I'll have to see the actual rules and what the transport costs (might be better for Hellblasters) but the only concern vs. termies is lack of an invuln save. If you miss that charge against a backfield unit you'll get shot to pieces.

That's the problem with Terminators though - their invulnerable save is almost useless given that almost everything shooting at them has a maximum of AP-3. Terminators are only slightly more survivable vs plasma weaponry than Primaris marines are.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/733185/9499934.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/733185/9499934.page GMT
