My preference would be to put the Melta Sternguard in the droppod instead though.Lead Legionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12700198528204457272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6515454463270943871.post-17128517411785099352012-07-17T21:51:53.378-07:002012-07-17T21:51:53.378-07:00Im more worried about land raiders personally.

Yet the plasma guns are more reliable at anti av12.13 than they use to be. and how is anyone going to stop a flyer? haha nothing really in the marine book, for the most part, can reliably take them down. So massed plasma gun shots hopefully rapid fireing could get a couple 6's and take them down fairly well....marines need autocannons in mass really badly these daysKevinmcd28https://www.blogger.com/profile/06915604908609700895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6515454463270943871.post-71285987567643367142012-07-17T16:46:31.831-07:002012-07-17T16:46:31.831-07:00I agree with Psybilliah - getting Melta into those...I agree with Psybilliah - getting Melta into those Podding Sternguard is too good to pass up. I agree that the way things look the meta is going to shift somewhat away from massed transports to infantry. But I also think there will still be lots of space for mid-point range AV12 and 13 vehicles (looking at Predators especially). Having those Meltas will still be worth while.<br /><br />My BIG question though would be how are you going to deal with Flyers? As it stands they are going to be a huge part of the Meta; i.e. how are you going to stop a Doom Scythe (or 3)?Neil "Skcuzzlebumm" Kerrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03014379659342541790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6515454463270943871.post-46286690505899293502012-07-17T15:29:51.313-07:002012-07-17T15:29:51.313-07:00Well what I would want to add is multi melta attac...Well what I would want to add is multi melta attack bikes really. the pods are ment to concentrate the attack on infantry and I feel its a waste of the torrent of fire to add in melta....that is what the third unit was ment to be but I would have to add in another pod....which is possible since the rhino can easily be swapped for pods since they are the same pointsKevinmcd28https://www.blogger.com/profile/06915604908609700895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6515454463270943871.post-69724209571775934942012-07-17T14:49:22.546-07:002012-07-17T14:49:22.546-07:00Kevin.

The plasma is great in the new meta (so far) but you still need to pop open the transports and landraiders have returned. My 2 cents as a Crimson Fist player.Psybilliahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10092220587328332218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6515454463270943871.post-25638018746237488332012-07-17T14:45:19.318-07:002012-07-17T14:45:19.318-07:00Interesting list, not only competitive but also fl...Interesting list, not only competitive but also fluffy.
