Arkangilos Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 The only problem I have with the official color scheme is that the blue helmet = fire support, yellow helmet = close support stops making sense once you take different loadout options into account. Aggressors for example I'd definitely say are Close Support with their short ranged shooting (especially the flamer variant) and powerfists, however they are classified as Fire Support. Same for Heavy Flamer Devastators. Flamer aggressors and flamer Devs are both definitely fire support. Maybe but what makes Plasma Assault Marines/Biker Close Support? Or Land Speeder with Assault Cannon/Multi-Melta/Heavy Bolter/Typhoon missile launcher (24", 24", 36" and 48" respectively)?I feel like they just went for anything that isn't a Tactical or Veteran: Can the unit be fast on their own -> yellow helmet. Is the unit slow on their own -> blue helmet. Which I would be fine with but doesn't really reflect the terms "Close Support" and "Fire Support" imo. Fire support is a role, not a loadout, same with assaulting. So in the army we have different battle drills, and the battle drills have different roles for different people. For example, there is an assaulting element and a support element. Within a platoon you have one dedicated (always) supporting element. That element is the weapons squad, and has the 240's. However, within squads you also have a supporting and assaulting element, and they both have the exact same weapons. Typically it's A team that is designated the assaulting element and B team is the supporting element. It fills the same role as the weapons squad. There are two types of attacking done by the assaulting element, assaulting (charging, and the most common type) and "attack by fire" where they stay in place (after flanking the enemy) and just unload. Even though they aren't charging, they are still the assaulting element and are still charging. It's the same the Blood Angels. Just because the assault marines have all ranged weapons doesn't mean they aren't still assaulting, or that their role has changed. It's still the same role, they are just achieving it differently. It's like this: a tactical squad is like a typical squad in real life. It has a team which is assault (the special weapon) and b team which is support (heavy weapon). An assault squad is basically a rapid reaction assaulting force. It allows for easy and rapid maneuvering, and their job is to quickly get into position to flank and attack. A devastator squad, no matter the load out, is the weapons squad. It is designed to support the assaulting element. Even with short range weapons it will fulfill that role. robofish7591 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297201-ba-today/page/295/#findComment-4997103 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 That's all good and fine but I just said that a squads role on the battlefield changes depending on their loadout. We obviously disagree there and I honestly don't see a reason to continue this.

Arkangilos Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) Because their role doesn't change. How they execute it changed but their role is the same. All devastators, regardless of loadout, perform the exact same mission, supporting the assault with heavy weapons. Range doesn't change that.

Jolemai Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) Any word on the ETL this year Jol? Been prepping Do I need to prepare for RtS or ETL respectively?Semper hasn't said anything further than his promise to have the ETL running this year, but that was back in April 2017. It's a case of wait and see at the moment. All being well, the RTS will happen around September-November as usual. There *may* be something happening soon though...

barjed Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Here's a question for y'all. Let's assume that we have Mephiston on the table. In the movement phase he advances. In the psychic phase he casts Wings on himself and makes another move, without advancing. Can he charge in the charge phase (and also shoot his pistol in the shooting phase). What if he doesn't advance in the movement phase but does so in the psychic phase instead, does it change anything? Thanks!
