Comba...Have you ever played codex space marines? <br /><br />Combat tactics + assault means you will likely still be in assault and just take no retreat wounds. By some chance you get out of assault, the unit is going to run off the table because of an enemy unit being within 6 inches. <br /><br />Combat tactics is only effective against shooting.<br /><br />Something worth considering is calgar's god of war ability which allows you to choose to pass or fail any moral check, but if the enemy is still within six inches, they still can't regroup. <br /><br />This is why I suggested tactical terminators. They are a rock unit but provide a ton of fire power both anti-infantry and anti-tank while being decent in assault.Stillfrostyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14357397323418834184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1742113396089797587.post-69566411515167518662012-02-15T17:25:33.529+00:002012-02-15T17:25:33.529+00:00this needs a large rock like TH/SS termies. witho...this needs a large rock like TH/SS termies. without it, target priority is too obvious and you can neutralise all the hard hitting stuff very early, laving you with a load of useless tacticals.Atreideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05304081312256836817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1742113396089797587.post-91188889518241687782012-02-15T17:15:36.679+00:002012-02-15T17:15:36.679+00:00"you have no way to push them off of you.&quo..."you have no way to push them off of you."<br /><br />Combat Tactics?<br /><br />If they multi charge with the idea of beating you in combat in your turn, then that fails. You need to wipe squads, otherwise they combat tactic out of there.<br /><br />Either way, your combat unit is in the middle of a gunline looking very silly.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04179305108630227191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1742113396089797587.post-63088950184042659022012-02-15T16:54:21.536+00:002012-02-15T16:54:21.536+00:00I would personally run tactical terminators with c...I would personally run tactical terminators with cyclones with calgar. <br /><br />But with that being said, I think you need some sort of assault punch because you will get hammered in the assault phase by units who can easily pull off a multi assault and you have no way to push them off of you. <br /><br />In addition, What if you are facing an army who can pull of first turn charges effectively? What about reserve lists? What about heavy terrain boards? <br /><br />I know it is for fun, but killing 80 marines is not that hard, especially when there is no close combat ability to punish deathstars.Stillfrostyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14357397323418834184noreply@blogger.com
