I would have preferred no new uber-marines, but I'll get a squad or two to supplement my Relictors (weak fluff to do it, but maybe RG knows we are not Excommunicate Traitoris and loyal all along!)Siph_Horridushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07159625883822754521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4391623713288826384.post-18694245216237474402017-05-16T15:15:26.761+01:002017-05-16T15:15:26.761+01:00Hi Kenneth.

The vengeance rounds will be tricky as in order to bypass power armor theyd have to be as good as a melta ap wise now! <br /><br />Power point wise they were 6 for the squad compared to 8 for 1k sons (4 plus a sorcerer) and 5 for a minimal tac squad. If that 20% markup translates into points they'd only be about 16 each accounting for the free sergeant, but lack of free upgrades compared to the others may raise base cost a bit. If terminators stay around 35 points then I think 20 points sounds more likely.Jimbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04950063737302695309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4391623713288826384.post-46683621695209819452017-05-16T14:39:32.905+01:002017-05-16T14:39:32.905+01:00I wonder how they will compare points and game wis...I wonder how they will compare points and game wise to Sternguard (that bolt rifle is pretty much what a kraken bolter round is now. 1 AP better than a normal boltgun with 6" of extra range) <br /><br />Also if we are talking points here these guys could easily be 25-30pts each. (My guess 10 normal tactical squad marines are equal in points to 5 primaris marines. and you will get more shooting from a tac squad plus weapon options.)<br />Tyrantropehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13334046769017411538noreply@blogger.com
