Bike squad vs. Vanguard


terminatorAM

Recommended Posts

I have created a 2000pnt mechanized/assault list for Flesh Tearers containing 2 vindies, Seth and Cmd squad, 2 razors, 2 rhinos, 10 man death company and a 10 man jump-packed RAS. Now i have 195 pnts left over and cant decide if i should go with a 5 man VV squad w/ a few upgrades or 4 bikes plus attack bike with some meltas. one privied more assaulting power, the other shooting, and both have speed, so what do you guys think would work better?

5-Man Vanguard Vet squad with power fist and 4xmeltabombs comes to exactly 195pts. It's awesome. With DoA it arrives early, assaults and blows something up. Drop it on a LR and not have they made their points back but your opponent has lost a transport for his death star unit. Your opponent hiding a linchpin unit in the backfield? Drop these fellas in to take it out.

 

This unit is generally a fire-and-forget unit (it almost never survives to the end of the game), but it's always been worth it for me.

Ok, purely on a rule of cool basis, I'd go with the bikes. You never see them in BA style armies, and I think they would look sick on the battlefield in FT colors.

 

What's in the two razors and rhinos?

Yeah, I'd like to know that too. You've only got 2 units that can buy dedicated tranports (command squad and the death company). Am I right in thinking you must have two more RAS units on foot?
