gammaxj Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Long time lurker here. I've noticed that most of the squad sizes for noise marines are 6 and 12, and I assume this to be because of the 1 blastmaster for the small squad, and 2 for the bigger squad. However, can't you just have 5 noise marines, 3 with sonic weapons, 1 with a blastmaster, and a champion? Why the extra marine?

Migraine Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Because 6 used to be "The number of Slaanesh", and I'd reckon people just like to stick with it. There's nothing else optimal about it. Except Slaanesh will make you roll better. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/272259-noise-marine-squad-sizes/#findComment-3319790 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except Slaanesh will make you roll better. Exactly. If all you cared about was using blastmasters, you could just use 5/10 guys respectively.

Forté Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 An because going to 11 just isn't enough. Then again, I'm tempted by 18. 12 is so last season.
