J!MM!L!C!OUS Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 As the title suggests, is this load out legal? I only ask because the codex puts the SS and PP on the same line... I don't know if this is significant :D Cheers Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J!MM!L!C!OUS Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 Legal. Tactically dubious mind. I was thinking: Captain - Plasma Pistol, Storm Shield, Artificer Armour Command Squad - 4x Plasma Guns That way the captain can tank for the unit quite effectively :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatcrusade08 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 he always needs at least a power weapon IMO.. but plasma units generally do ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awfulawful Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Definitely more of a tactica issue, but your Captain will always be happier punching/stabbing/hammering enemies than he will be shooting them. And when he's happy, you're happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShinyRhino Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Definitely more of a tactica issue, but your Captain will always be happier punching/stabbing/hammering enemies than he will be shooting them. And when he's happy, you're happy. And the reasons for this are "volume" and "armor saves." Captains simply get more attacks in melee than they do in shooting. You can get up to 5 on the charge in melee, and 3 in shooting (Rapid Fire weapon and an Aux Launcher). There are more armor-ignoring options in melee for a Captain than there are in shooting. Your absolute most efficient shooting loadout versus MEQ (based on shooting casualties alone) is a combi-plasma and an aux launcher. In pure kill numbers, it's only better than a Captain on the charge armed with a power sword, maul, or staff. Any other melee weapon loadout (aside from basic chainsword) beats the one-to-one damage output of shooting, PLUS has the precharge shooting of a pistol to boost MEQ kills by 14%.
