Equipping Sanguinary Squads

The fist is a cheap upgrade as well. So if you have a Priest with a P Weapon in there I think you can certainly justify it.

I run Dante with s SG Squad with 5 IP, Banner & PF with attached Priest.

 

Nice! Angelus patterned bolters on five guys is not all that. Lots of melter pistols on the other hand is a scary prospect indeed.

 

G :P

Exactly and can pop any tank on the turn they drop down, can be expensive but funny to watch your opponents face as he cries :blink:

From an earlier thread, I recall reading a suggestion that if you place a Power Fist and a Banner in your squad you should put them on the same model.

 

Just my 2p worth.

 

 

I am curious as to the logic of doing this, making a model that goes down with 40 points of upgrades versus two models that may have a tad more luck so you don't lose both in one unlucky failed save.

If it's a SG squad in a Nipplewing army, go with Fist and 2x Infernus. It gives you the ability to threaten tanks somewhat and breaks up your wounds into two separate initiative steps so wound allocation or some lucky invulnerable saves are less likely to cause problems.

 

In an army that isn't all SG, I'd probably just run them with the Fist, adding Pistols only if I had spare points.

I think the idea is that if you're taking four or fewer wounds, you don't have to put anything on the Banner/Fist and thus aren't risking losing him. Personally, I would rather split them up because the two upgrades will have different relative values in different situations (and thus you will variously be willing to risk one or the other of them), but there's an argument to be made for the other way around. I think it's putting too many eggs in one sub-basket, though.
