Trevak Dal Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 They got a butt load of units to choose from and the way you can (seemingly-i haven't seen any rules why you cant take intercessors and tac marines and scouts) and it would be fun to make them.

Kinstryfe Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I think that they quite likely are, but haven't counted amongst all the factions. Tyranids are likely similar, having a large number of options as well. But Astartes have three types of scouts, three types of Intercessors, three types of Tacticals, and two types of Reivers, for I believe 11 total possible entries.

Not to mention that they can have a bunch of Sergeants due all the different Datasheets lol Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353288-are-astartes-the-most-flexible-kill-team-faction/#findComment-5240105 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevak Dal Posted January 26, 2019 Author Share Posted January 26, 2019 Yeah but that would kinda be in poor taste I'd think. I wish you could bring in assault marines and raptors.

Toxichobbit Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Nah, not even close. T'au have 18 units due to their drones and turret. T'au weapon options are a lot more limited though.

andes Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 There's a lot of variety in Genestealer Cults -- both in units and strategies.

Brother Navaer Solaq Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 astrates are probably the most flexible kill team faction. the use of command roster means you can have multiple different configuration that you can use in different missions. tau look like they are flexible, but they do not have the same staying power as the astrates. smite kills tau and necron.
