interceptor math?

[Madmaardigan]

ok was looking at the codex and dont know if this has been mentioned but thought I should point it out for point save.

 

Interceptor base cost is 130, and for 24 pts a model you can take an additional five, that means you get another 5 for 120 pts, just incase anyone was going to take two individual squads, instead of taking 1 10 man and combat squading them

 

if I'm missing somthing or overlooked somthing plz enlighten me lol

You are right. The benefit of combat squads is slightly low cost and the ability to deny a KP in kill point games. The benefit of MSU is a Justicar per 5man.

You only get one Justicar. Thus you can only outfit one with the options the character gets (mastercrafted weapons and stuff). The other advantage of combat-squadding over taking two 5 man squads is to putt all the special weapons in one combat squad.

 

Combat squadded units still award two kill points.

But I think the idea is, with a ten man squad, you can deny a kill point by not combat squading them.

[Quixus]

That's true.

'Purge' is a terrible mission for us though, arguably objective games are better because we're not as handicapped by our tiny army size.
