Guard mechanized infantry platoon load outs?
So. I always come with the conumdrum that I never know what to equip my platoon squads and command squad. I love putting autocannons I the back of chimeras but that really makes u not want to move them. I also like to throw grenade launchers with those autocannons because it can be another decent strength shot. But I have ran melta gun and it seems like they miss when u need them most. I know flamers are damn reliable when the opponent gets close but still haven't ever fell in love with any setup I run. I jave tried a lot and it works I guess its just how u look at it. My upcoming experiments are gonna be is buying kraks worth it instead of melta and having the flamer. Since the melta are nice against Terms and mcs but the normal hammer unit has wound jacking so more than likely it is gonna be dissolved into a 3++ sv anyways so what's the scare in running a flamer and kraks over melta gun. So lets put it to the test. I am gonna take my Ard boys list and make those changes and see what happens. Any maybe get into some of that damn i know it never work math hammer

How many shots do you usually get with Meltaguns in a squad? 1-2 is what you usually get, from what I have heard. Taking 1-2 turns early game to use a protected Autocannon gives you similar performance. Autocannons in Chimeras give you a mobile platform to reposition firing lanes quickly, on foot it may take 2-3 turns. There is also the wound soak from the inevitable 'Vehicle Exploded'.
ReplyDeleteMeltaVets force Invulnerable Saves and breaks FNP... and look at the Semi-Final Meta for FNP. Flamers have a use as well, filling in a quantity to back up the melta quantity; however, flamers let termies roll 2+ for saves. 16.6% chance of failure vs. 33.3% (2+ vs 3++).
1melta with bs3 making semi unreliable and T
ReplyDeleteThe rest of y
The list and the melta vets speak for tanks so I am even questioning the kraka at this point and going autocannon flamer in the squad put sOme points into savings and making a flamer vet squad melta
