blood_raven_240 Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 You may take one Command Squad for every Space Marine Captain in your army (including Captain Sicarius, Captain Lyslander, Shadow Captain Shrike and Kor'sarro Khan). This unit does not count against your HQ allowance. So, if I don't have a Space Marine Captain, I can't take a Command Squad? {e} Actually, also, would you agree that the Command Squad is basically now the Generic Veteran Squad from 4th?

Seahawk Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 You are correct, although they are a much poorer substitute for the 4th edition veteran squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blood_raven_240 Posted December 3, 2008 Author Share Posted December 3, 2008 Alright, then I can forget about 'cheating' on my 1 required HQ by fielding a Command Squad that's basically a up-statted spliced up Tactical Squad :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maniclurker Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 You got it. Seahawk: I don't see how they are a poorer substitue. FNP, and they can all take whatever weapons they feel like, pretty much. I revel in the ability to arm a model with a flamer and a thunder hammer. It only ever happens with these guys.

They'd be a lot better if you could get 10 of them so you have some padding for your expensive specialists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Old veterans and even old command squads got the skillz; now they just have feel no pain, are inflexible in size, have very neat but expensive upgrades. Yes the combinations are great, and I love dreaming about how to arm them too...but they're so impractical now it's never actually worth doing. Good as a fluff unit though.

garreth Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 IMHO Command squad now worth it only with Kor'Sarro (thx to furius charge). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
