I'll be posting shots of my armies over teh next week so check back to see the full extent of my power armoured depravity!<br /><br />I wouldn't give up on the UMs just yet. I think their tactics look very well balanced added to the fact that, as you say, both Calgar (allows use of one doctrine twice), his honour guard (cheaper) and Tigurius (much cheaper) are all good options. <br /><br />As for Raven Guard, yeah load up on those assault marines as they'll definitely from their chapter tactics. My interpretation was that all infantry except those with bulky/very bulky (so no terminators) gain scout, and as per the scout USR they gain the ability to confer this to their transports. The main difference therefore being that WS DTs including land raiders for terminators (though they don't get H+R) can benefit. <br /><br />Looking forward to trying out all these new play styles!Jimbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04950063737302695309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4391623713288826384.post-36752524914980959512013-09-02T03:29:55.745+01:002013-09-02T03:29:55.745+01:00Hey, found your blog through a plug from From the ...Hey, found your blog through a plug from From the Fang, and I just wanted to say I'm ecstatic to have another blog devoted to Loyalist marine armies to add to my favorites list. They're much harder to come by than one would think.<br /><br />I used to play Ultramarines and contemplated picking them up once again, but once I learned the tactics weren't nearly as broken as they were first rumored to be (permanent re-rolls) I think I will leave them on the shelf. Though the new Tigurius, Calgar, and reduced Honor Guard are definitely on my mind.<br /><br />Will be going Raven Guard myself. I need to buy at least 10 ASM just because I've always wanted to play with jump pack units and now I have the excuse. The RG tactics say "model" whereas White Scars say "vehicle" but depending on how it goes, you MIGHT be able to give Scout to dedicated transports including the Land Raider to have one squad of scouting Terminators. Probably not though, but it would be nice considering Shrike no longer can join Terminators nor Infiltrate a squad.Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17901708027893154870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4391623713288826384.post-38588268972479274532013-09-01T16:53:02.717+01:002013-09-01T16:53:02.717+01:00Great write up, enjoyed the read and hearing your ...Great write up, enjoyed the read and hearing your thoughts on the different chapter tactics.Robert (Grovel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06017765869859990413noreply@blogger.com
