bolvar

I answered and told them to bring back our codex. Let's hope they hear us

Hmm, Land Speeders with multi-melta sounds reasonably salamander enough for me. Is that Salamanders don't use fast units?

Indeed ^^

Bolvar, not Bolivar :(

You're crazy Elmo. Keep it that way.

Man, that green is a beast. Also, what helmets are those?

Hello, BT player reporting from Villarrobledo (Albacete)

Image broken brother, call the techmarine.

@Chaplain Matthias: For me, every sword brethen with power weapons + plasma/grav pistols and the occasional storm shields for extra durability. Swords and axes, maybe a pair of maces when you want more str for T5 foes and armor isn't important due to lack of it or inv saves. Maybe dual lightning claws on the squad leader for extra attacks with those sweet wound rerolls. Special pistols are great (and even more for their cost, compared to other editions). I wouldn't model them with thunder hammers, power fists or the like. For me, that's terminators job Also, if I land vanguard vets, always with jump-packs. If I had to field them without jump-packs, I'd rather field some cataphractii terminators with fists or claws (depending of their desired job and opponent)

One of the best starts I've read, i'll monitor this thread

One of the best highlights I've ever seen, great job Reinhard!

Sadly, assault squads are one of the worst units in the codex. If you really want to use jump pack marines, grab vanguard veterans. +1 to Kisada and Kellevil, a single LRC attract all the heavy firepower the enemy has, so it can get overpowered and not being able to do its job.

Where does it say that? Copy-pasting from the codex itself: SERGEANT EQUIPMENT Up to two weapons can be chosen from the following list: -Pistols and melee weapons- One weapon can be chosen from the following list: -Different flavours of bolters-

I think that storm bolters are only worth against T3, because you'd be wounding on 3+, or a cheap upgrade for a 5 man crusader squad's sword brother that bring a heavy weapon and camp in an objective. For T4 and above, their special issue bolter with AP -2 should be vastly superior, specially against MEQ. They also are better against vehicles because of that. Not saying that you shouldn't get them in vehicles, because they don't replace any options. But I wouldn't trade special issue bolters for storm bolters If you want to spam bolter fire, you should aim for hurricane bolters, or large crusader squads filled to the brim with neos

My SB loadouts are tied to the ones that the unit he's leading. Mostly: power weapon/thunder hammer + plasma/grav pistol if the unit is equipped for melee, or combi-plasma/storm bolter if it's in a shooty one. Combi-flamers are also useful too, d6 autohits + 2 shots at 4+!
