Meltas also have the benefit of insta killing pallies, and not giving fnp to said unit. Dont forget that plasma gets hot and you may loose your own man. That said plasma pistols and plasma cannons for me and meltas for my special weapons. I believe a mix in this edition will beat the fifth all or nothing mentality.Melon Headhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16557578215592278274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6515454463270943871.post-13939883780927569502012-07-20T09:09:57.306-07:002012-07-20T09:09:57.306-07:00I say both.

Outflanking or drop-pod melta will be valuable as there will be one or two targets that when they appear you will need to get to quickly. The issue of course will be more mid-field fire to get through. So quality of melta delivery should eventually overtake the 5th edition trend of quantity.thebaldwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00305886289515821266noreply@blogger.com
