I've been going back and forth on a good counter assault unit. Here is what I am currently running.
1 Terminator with Lightning Claws
3 Terminator with Thunder Hammer & Storm Shield
1 Sergeant Lightning Claws (pair)
Stormraven with lascannon and melta
Sang priest with infernus pistol
TOTAL POINTS- 465
Here is what I am debating to run instead.
1 Sergeant Thunder Hammer; Storm Shield
1 Vanguard Veteran Lightning Claw x1; Storm Shield x1
1 Vanguard Veteran Lightning Claw x1; Storm Shield x1
1 Vanguard Veteran Lightning Claw x1; Storm Shield x1
1 Vanguard Veteran Infernus Pistol x1; Power Weapon x1
Sang Priest with jump pack
Make one of my rhinos a las/plas razorback
TOTAL POINTS- 445
The first list will have better survivability and have that fast stormraven to throw a melta shot early on. The second list is faster in getting into combat, and can deep strike to destroy something. If I could get them into a situation where they lock in first round close combat, that 12 inch move would be pretty great the next round. Also, I could easily move around a couple points and throw a chaplain into the unit.
Thoughts?
