pantsdown Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Very quick question... I have been wondering along with a few fellow Marine Codex users at our hobbie shop about Assault Marines and what it means to count as Infrantry when removing the jump packs... Does that mean they are now scoring units and are considered a troop choice? Or they are no longer fast and just plain troops with a free transport and don't count as troop choices Any thoughts, would it be illegal to use two 5 man assault squads without jump packs with rhinoes as the two troop choices needed in a list?

Brother Valerius Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Yes, that would be illegal. Infantry (the unit type) is not at all the same as Troops (the FOC slot). Even if you take the jump packs off, they will still be Fast Attack units and will not score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
