| Back in the day a player would not think twice and have every squad pack a Plasma Gun that could. Enter 5th edition.. more hordes.. more tanks.. more cover saves.. maybe not so quick to glue that Plasma Gun on  So which special weapons do you players use these days? | |

| He's not the only one ... nothing tickles my itch more than nice, big gouts of flame and plasma spewing from big tubes held by gene-enhanced military chaps. | |

| Orks smile real big when people take meltas!!! Not to say they aren't worth it cause I do take a melta gun in 2 of my squads of six But I flesh out the rest of my squads with flamers... The whole being free and hitting more seems to out weight the other.
And if the tourney in Dayton was any indication of things to come you better beleive that at least 33% of the armies will be orks! | |

Solid point green one.. What about mixing choices within a squad? | |

| Still think Plasma is the way to go, up to 4 shots in a squad, can with marines almost 3 insta kills (armor saves if roll a one most of time you can save) and can be used as anti-tank on the light vehicles (Rhino, Chimera, etc) and also a reliable side shots on things like Preads, and vindy that allows you to use the bigger stuff on the tougher vehicles if no side shots available. | |

| I don't like flamers because they don't do anything to MEQs and I already stomp all over Orks with Blood Angels anyway, so I don't need any extra help with that. Now that I think about it, the same logic applies to vanilla marines with boltguns. They already have plenty anti-swarm firepower.
I wouldn't mix. Heavy weapons are too useful to pass up. | |
