glsn Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I was thinking, for a firebase unit is 10 Sternguard with Stormbolters too expensive. It's 300 points, but you get 20 S4 AP4 shots out to 30". Or you get 20 Hellfire shots out to 24". Bolster them with Lysander and Wraithlords, Daemon Princes, Avatars, and C'Tan are really not a problem anymore. Best of all, the enemy gets too close and you can charge them, after unloading hell into them, with 3 attacks per model. Useful of too expensive?

Cougemeister Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 The whole point of Sternguard honestly is their special ammunition and by taking with stormbolters you're robbing them of that ammo. If you really want stormbolters you might as well take a unit of Terminators, it's more expensive but much more difficult to kill off. That's my 2 cents Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/182238-sternguard-w-stormbolter/#findComment-2156234 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giga Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 The special ammo can only be used with standard bolters. Bolt pistols, storm bolters, and anything else can't use the special ammo. Hence, by giving sternguard storm bolters you waste their greatest advantage - their special ammo. Hence, it's not worth it.
