Seems ...Been behind on my reading of the SM codex. Seems rather crappy to have bikes be troops for White Scars but not for jump units to be troops for Raven Guard. Yeah they would be pricy. That would be a decision made by the player.a Sent Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13985913087960289002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833680813290901707.post-50098330754930263322013-09-19T11:21:19.987-05:002013-09-19T11:21:19.987-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Suijinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11146786590216719713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833680813290901707.post-51769373450828775112013-09-19T11:21:14.765-05:002013-09-19T11:21:14.765-05:00You would think that if chapter masters and captai...You would think that if chapter masters and captains can get jump packs that the fluffy themed squads that go with them would be able to take the same.Suijinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11146786590216719713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833680813290901707.post-2838077524684701402013-09-19T11:19:24.066-05:002013-09-19T11:19:24.066-05:00That is more or less what I said in the last parag...That is more or less what I said in the last paragraph, and many of the issues also stem directly from the rules of assault marines themselves totally separate from chapter tactics.<br /><br />You can always bias things heavily towards assault marines by loading the table with impassable terrain, but I don't typically see that much used.Suijinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11146786590216719713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833680813290901707.post-51801728784454794922013-09-19T08:18:04.557-05:002013-09-19T08:18:04.557-05:00I definitely can't argue that their tactics ar...I definitely can't argue that their tactics are better than White Scars (who probably have the strongest), but I like it for what it does and what I think it was intended to do, which is give just a little different flavor. The trap with chapter tactics, particularly this one is picking an army designed to maximize the chapter tactic; that is, fielding assault marines and a bunch of non-bulky infantry units to try to use the special rules as much as possible.<br /><br />If you're going full out competitive you obviously wouldn't go with Raven Guard, but I think a themed army would be viable and not get stomped every game.
