Grey Hunters or Blood Claws?

[d@n]

well they have their uses with a jump pack strapped to their back

Even then, pretty much every other marine dex has an equivalent that does the same thing better for the same points. On top of that you dont even get the one real benefit, of taking a large pack. Take blood angels, once you have put a wolf priest and with jump pack your looking at being more expensive then Blood angels assault squads with a sang priest. Sky claws are not any good at going tank hunting even with 2 meltaguns and there average in assault. So whats the point of them?

 

Dont get me wrong i loved blood claws when i was younger, but in the currant dex there not worth it. If they were 13 points i would take or them if you could have a fist and special weapon for every 5 marines i would take them even if they had ws4 on the charge i could probably find a use for them but as it stands theres no reason to take them over grey hunters.

Skyclaws are not made to hunt tanks. Use them to do flank control and in the back of his line the juicy heavy weapon teams

scouts do it better drop pod wolfguard do it better. deep striking into cover means having to deal with the mishap table and you cant charge the turn they deep strike so your going to have to run them up the table and thunderwolves do that better anyway.
