captain sox Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 hey folks! Just a quick question. I'm finally bringing some Scout Bikes to the table and want to know what would be the best weapon to give to the Sergeant. My first game will have 7 bikes with 3 Astartes Greneade Launchers. I was thinking about giving the Sergeant a Combi-Plasma to compiment the range of the the AGL's, or a Combi-Flamer to help thin out a squad they are going to attack. Or should I give him a fist and hope he survives long enough once he gets into CC... or should I avoid close combat? thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatcrusade08 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 T5 means most enemies (that arent dedicated CC specialists) will struggle to beat them in CC.. i use a fist on mine and he always gets to swing, plus it helps against vehciles and with first turn charges as a viable option it helps to have that added potential Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkGuard Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I agree with GC08, a fist would be the best investment. Helps you out in assault and protects you a bit from MCs Dreads, and ICs. A combi also wouldn't be too bad, I'd suggest a combi-flamer to help thin out the enemy before you charge. Plus it's a one shot weapon you know that you won't miss with. On smaller squads though I wouldn't worry with a fist, as chances are you'll be dead before you swing, so if running a smaller squad, I'd just give him a combi.

DarkGuard Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Is it really only the one choice? Oops, sorry about that. I don't have my Codex on me, and I'm going from memory. In that case power fist for big squads, combi for small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meatman Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Always a fist or combi-melta. Adds a little extra punch when firing the grenade launchers. T5 helps ensure you keep swinging that fist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellios Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I always take a fist on the scout biker squad in my minotaurs army <_<... I use them for getting behind enemy armour and the fist helps if I get close :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
