Is 4 RAS in 3k enough?

So I got a apoc game on Friday so my question is are four RAS enough in a 3k apoc game enough... 3 are JP equipped and one is in a rhino....

I try to stick to the rule of at least 1 scoring unit per 500 points. However, scoring units get slightly less important after 2k, so you could probably get away w/ 4-5, 5 being preferable.

 

Also, if you have the points, you could throw Dante in. This would give you the option to take a unit or so of sanguinary guard as troops, giving you a few hard hitting elite type units that can score as well.

 

Just my 2 cents,

I think that this is some pretty good advice. I would suggest that in a 3000point army that there are 5 scoring units...and yes It may be worthwhile to take Dante to convert some elites into scoring.

I often use combat squad rules if I feel I don't have enough scoring unit. Not sure if this works for our army though.

I normally do 4 RAS in 2500, so you should be fine honestly

I don't think this is the case, but I beleive there is a strategic thingy you can choose that allows all infantry to score.

If you've only got 4 RAS at 3k pts...what else are you running?
