But as you've said the sad truth is that assault marines are not our hammer, yes they will beat other marines in combat on the charge, but they are not killy enough to warrant huge multi-assaults.<br /><br />The sad conclusion I've come to (especially when you factor in that I've converted 5 boxes of Sanguinary guard into assault marines with jump packs) is the strength of our books is cheap, fast, scoring vehicles with 3+ armor FnP guys inside. The FnP is so much more useful than FC and it keeps our scoring units on objectives.<br /><br />For hammer units I've been exploring the terminator route again, TH/SS terminators are seriously one of the best units in the game and even at 45 points a model are undercosted. unfortunately My BA list is turning out exactly like my SM list, razorbacks and terminators.Zac Paugahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02334171908697161868noreply@blogger.com
