5 man assault squads

Recommended Posts

Yeah hi. Basically, im stuck with a 5 man assault squad, and i hate to just not use them.

 

Question is though, 5 man assault squads arent exactly built like the brick wall 10 man squads are.

How would i equip them is what im asking. Until i am able to buy more assault marines, i need to make do with these 5 assault marines.

Depends on the rest of your army. Are you going jump pack heavy, mechanized, a mix of the 2? A solid choice would be just giving 1 a melta gun as that is always a good weapon, and then if you choose to build to a 10 man squad you can add other options.

Well my army is kinda fresh at the moment, but i seem to be leaning towards a CC heavy army, with good maneuverability and some lasting power. my 10 man assault squads are there to handle the main thrust of my opponent.

 

But my 5 man squad isnt really up to it, not yet.

 

so yeah i was thinking of a meltagun, but what can i plop onto the sergeant?

I also have a rhino, and i plan on putting a 10 man assault squad in there.

Meltagun and a thunder hammer. Put them in a 20 pt razorback with heavy bolters and use them as a support unit to go and back up your bigger units which might need assistance

This is probably what i would do, since it sounds like your going for a rhino assault type list. Using a cheap razorback can still dish out some hurt and draw some fire from your rhinos while they advance. I disagree with the meltagun and thunderhammer though, one meltagun is not reliable i would give em a flamer as those are always reliable, presuming of course you have anti-tank covered.
