infyrana Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Righty, I just received the new sternguard and tactical boxsets, plus I have some spare bits and a few models that I have re-requisitioned. I'm looking to make up two complete sternguard squads with some dedicated weaponry I can leave on them and use as is, or by splitting them down into smaller squads mission dependent etc. Here's where you all come in - their overall setup and options - do I fully deck them with combi-melta's, add in plasma, or heavy flamers, or even the odd power fist etc. Your advice is most welcomed please - here's what I need. - 10x man Sternguard squad - dedicated to vehicle / daemon / big target destruction, capable of splitting in two smaller squads. - 10x man Sternguard squad - dedicated to heavy infantry / termi / minor vehicle / misc destruction, capable of splitting in two smaller squads. I already started making up my Sternguard a few weeks back, currently have 5x combi-plasma marines, a few odd bolter marines, and 2x plasma gun marines (which I know aren't the best choice for stern, but they can be used elsewhere in my army). I was thinking to have two squads, one mostly combi melta with a plas or two, and one mostly combi-plas with a melta or two, and a heavy flamer to add for taste. But the question is - how many of what should I really be aiming for to cover everything I could possibly need? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memento Of Prospero Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 You should mangetize your combi weapon bits brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infyrana Posted December 25, 2013 Author Share Posted December 25, 2013 Aye, the new lot will be. I don't mind having a few fixed models.. heck, with 130 odd marines for just my beakies, one doesn't mind too much ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memento Of Prospero Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 If that's the case, I like to field 3melta/3flamers im a 10 man squad. It makes them very utility oriented. All plasma if I have specific targets in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infyrana Posted December 25, 2013 Author Share Posted December 25, 2013 I assume that's combi-melta/flamer. I've honestly not thought about combi-flamers, and figured that 5-8 meltas were the better option. Again, thought of the heavy flamer as a one off (heck, one has to model that thing if nothing else!). 20 Sternguard, 3-4 combi-flamers modelled up sound about right ?

Memento Of Prospero Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Yes combi flamers are huge against cover abusing cheap infantry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
