Blicket Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I play a lot of RW lists and the bikes are great except for clearing out multi level ruins. Enter the Assault marines, jumping into combat with that annoying squad hiding in cover. I guess my question is are Dark Angels Assault marines worth it or is it worth paying the HQ tax for BA squads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Ours are nice and cheap now; I'd use ours because things hiding up in multi level buildings are not usually CC specialists Drop pod full of normal infantry (of various types) could also be useful in that role. Or a Deathwing squad DS's in close. So is Sammy if you want to stay 'pure' RW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
march10k Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 I say go for it. Ten jumpers cost about the same as ten tactical marines once you get done adding wargear. They're not that expensive any more, so as long as you don't expect them to beat up a squadron of nob bikerz, they're a really good unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facmanpob Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 If they are kitted out with 2 flamers and a combi-flamer to get rid of any pesky cover saves, then they could be quite effective as building clearance units Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
