FishFuzz99 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 What are your guys preferred loud outs for the sergeants of the various squads? Devestators probably don't need anything. Maybe a power weapon on an assault squad. Combi for a tactical sergeant? Scouts? Also, when does that painting challenge begin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakkamasta Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 devestators - nothing tacticals - combi-weapon, usually matching the special weapon in the squad assault - veteran sergeant, power sword/melta bomb or power fist depending on your taste scouts - depends on the squad, if snipers then just give him a sniper, if theyre going for close combat a melta bomb is a must and even a combi-melta can be useful since you can get into melta range very quickly and pop a shot, but only if you have the points to spare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shandwen Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 For scouts I would either just take some meltabombs, tacticals might be the same way, but with furious charge a power sword is reasonable. Assault marines do deserve a power sword or maul, but that is completely dependant on freeing up those points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaplain Gunzhard Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Back in 3rd with the old Furious Charge (+1S +1Init) I always favored power weapons to take advantage of the initiative bonus; in this edition I've gone back to that. And it seems like most often meltabombs are a good easy choice as well. But my flamer, heavy flamer squad the sergeant has hand-flamer and power weapon, whereas my shooty squad ( plasmagun, MM ) he has a combi-plasma.

My scout sergeants don't get jack, since if I'm using scouts, it's just to fill a couple of slots in a second detachment cheaply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Depends entirely on what you want the squad to do. Dual wielding gunslinger seargeants are also great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Also, when does that painting challenge begin? ETL IV should begin on 1st May 2015. For now, there is no Lexicanum January challenge, nor any BA specific challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knife&fork Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 If you buy a power weapon of any kind you're probably also going to spend the extra 10 pts on the vet upgrade. Gunslinger or combi-weapon sergeant doesn't need it to get milage out of his gun, so they often end up cheaper than you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karhedron Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I am building a couple of inferno pistol gunslinger sergeants for my meltacide pod-squads. They effectively double the anti-tank firepower of the squad which is its primary purpose so to me the points are well spent. Biker sergeant gets a combi grav naturally. ;) Devs don't really need anything and Tacticals depend on how you have kitted out the rest of the squad. My CCW Scout Serg is getting melta bombs. I am tempted by a power weapon but not sure if it is worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
