minigun762 Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Melta Bombs are really only effective vs Land Raiders and Fortifications IMO And do nothing to help you fight MCs or multi-wound T4 units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Proteus Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Doesn't the initiative make a difference with a power fist however? What if your down to three marines and the sarge, and those PF attacks you've built the unit to rely on, never take place because you're wiped out at initiative 4? -Proteus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koremu Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 What if, whatever. I'll take that risk. I practically never Combat Squad anyway, so it's 10 wounds the enemy has to get through in order to kill the Fist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that when I'm down to low numbers in my assault squad, I switch to vehicle hunting and cleanup mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koremu Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Frankly, given that half the killing power of a 10 man Assault Squad is in only 3 models anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
