Land Speeder Storms as Dedicated Transports just made my day. I've got a whole slew of Storms that I only ever used in very rare Apoc games. But cheap, highly mobile Scouts is absolutely perfect!
ReplyDeleteI don't think the ultramarines "tac squads re-roll ALL misses with bolters" is going to fly. That's ridiculously out of balance. Likewise taking 3 warlord traits.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, some of this looks legit, some looks wishful thinking. The lack of balance with other lists is grossly obvious--so either they are seriously going to make SMs the only lists being played, or a good portion is incorrect.
It's not that powerful. 10 dudes that have guide. Are you scared of that? Really?
ReplyDeleteSpaguatyrine, at 1850 points ther will be more than a hundred guys with guide, do you start to feel the fear?
ReplyDeleteis pedro still in the dex?
ReplyDeleteI was previously told, via BoLS, that Kantor is in.
