Depending on how rending works out, these could very well be a viable replacement for the CML if the change is needed. Especially if we're going to be aggressive with the termies.Marshal Laerothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14600470017757906441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065491601593693979.post-20313016484399352302012-06-10T19:05:52.210-04:002012-06-10T19:05:52.210-04:00One thing to consider, missiles are only awesome b...One thing to consider, missiles are only awesome because of the mech situation in 5th. If 6th is Infantry on foot and Land Raiders, leaving light mech out, missiles lose a lot of their utility. If that light mech spam does die, assault terminators start to lose better because they have game against foot infantry and land raiders.Nikephoroshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14484058926496438148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065491601593693979.post-60269711835935027772012-06-10T11:40:43.658-04:002012-06-10T11:40:43.658-04:00Just to spam up your thing a little bit more:

I think most of what you said here is dead on. The only thing really that I'd add is that I don't necessarily think that Assault Terminators will be making that resurgence that is theoretically possible. At least in mass. Why? Because we have the ability to create an effective "Blackwing" force that is actually competitive now. 6th Edition sounds like it will only make it BETTER than it was before by taking out one of its biggest weaknesses: close combat. <br /><br />Now, you still have to be careful with your troops, but that has always been the case. Toss 3-4 basic Crusader squads in Drop Pods and they are given a measure of protection from incoming fire. That'll help their survivability. Or if you're playing higher level points (2000+), put a couple of Crusader squads in Land Raiders and laugh.<br /><br />The only army that will give us difficulty in that format will be Deathwing as it currently stands. In a Terminator vs Terminator slugfest, they've got the upper hand because they can take SS's. But we might be able to equalize the odds with our more numerous long range firepower.Marshal Laerothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14600470017757906441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065491601593693979.post-27285454330567080582012-06-09T10:20:31.639-04:002012-06-09T10:20:31.639-04:00"after the codex rumors were proven to be fak..."after the codex rumors were proven to be fake."<br /><br />The guy who posted up the original rumors recanted his "I made it all up" statement, noting he was tired of the whining.
