I think they're a great unit when used with smart tactics. I also think that most people are going to try to use them as just raw muscle and come up short. That's why I put forth that they're not going to be stellar in most lists.<br /><br />Given how Dverninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18098608506710554678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7270554408723803733.post-25351615769669898632010-01-14T15:14:32.083-07:002010-01-14T15:14:32.083-07:00The value in plague marines is that they're ha...The value in plague marines is that they're hard to bring down (at least, that's the way I see them). Toughness 5 and FNP are a nice combo. Swiftclaws have the toughness 5, but no FNP. <br /><br />The thing is, there aren't many weapons that pose a threat to a T5 3+ model. The ones that really make a difference are those that ignore the armor altogether (and the vast majority if Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7270554408723803733.post-13660774863593799802010-01-14T10:09:36.977-07:002010-01-14T10:09:36.977-07:00Oh, now that would have been a great pic to use. ...Oh, now that would have been a great pic to use. Ah well.<br /><br />The Plague Marine comparison doesn't really get me. PMs get 2x special weapons, BS4, Feel No Pain, and are Scoring.<br /><br />Scout Bikers (and Ravenwing) are devastating because they can Scout move.

If you compare them to other available options, these guys are pretty sweet. Take chaos for example: these guys are essentially fast moving plague marines with more weapon options, and the counter-attack for 2 extra points.
