Devastators Plasma or ML

[Purdy81]

As a C:SM player Ive got a game coming up against my mates blood angels, first time against fellow marines

 

I was thinking of going plasma heavy with 2 x 5 man dev squads with 4 plasma cannons

 

2 x 10 man tac squads with 1 plas cannon and one plas gun

 

and also 2 dreadnought both with plasma cannons

 

obviously this is gonna put out some hurt but then there is also the gets hot and scatter to consider,

 

the only other thing i was thinking is to go all ML for the dev squads and get 4 S8 shots out of each squad which will also blast through the armour and be cheaper but the thought of 4 small blast from each squad sounds go to me too,

 

Hes not bringing much mech and ive got 2 Tornados with MM to take care of them so the devs are all about taking out his troops

 

Basically I cant decide which way to go, so anyone whos got experience against fellow marines any adive would be great.

 

Cheers guys

If you are not worrying about fighting mech, I'd go with plasma cannons.

If you are not worrying about fighting mech, I'd go with plasma cannons.

 

Pretty much this, if you don't anticipate mech then plasma cannons will be better.

 

For an all-comers list I'd say MLs for your Devs, and PCs for your Tacticals, just as a point of interest.

I'm all against List-tailoring so ML's definitely just in general. Even then though S8 AP3 is fine against marines, especially en masse.

take 3 ml and 1 plasma cannon, then use the signum with the plasma cannon.
