TAC ?

[Cavilier102]

I was looking at the army list for the marauder platoon and the fighter ther is for 200 points while its 250 on all the other pages. i just wanted to make sure what the cost is since fifty points can make a diffrence.
also a poll just for fun

Marauder platoon assets are different than, other platoon assets. Both are correct. Depends on what your using.

Thank you very much. that what i was thinking but i diddnt want to assume

When I first stared using TAC fighters (yes more than one ) I was using the ground support option... But i simply found like all other 'artillery' mode weapons to simply be too inaccurate to be effective :/

Firestorm bombs are simply fantastic however even when those warrior bugs are packed together as tight as possible once the thing starts scattering youll be lucky if you hit 2 or 3 of them in the blast.

On the otherhand with a Ground Attack Missile you can ssure your hitting exactly where you want to hit to optimize the casualties... and even avoid your own models with pin point accuracy.

I also find the prospect of firing a nuke without knowing it will hit exactly where you want it somewhat idiotic

Needless to say Ive switched over to Tactical and never looked back.

The Atomic payload make the TAC very expensive IMO. I like the ground support option the best I think, but I have not experimented with the TAC too much yet. I am thinking of using more Air Support with a LAMI list.

BS

i want to do a mix of 3 i recond they all have strenghts.

you need MI on the Ground to mop up after the Tac fighters though.

 

[Bullshot]

True. Air suppoort is great, but it can't hold land. You need ground pounders to hold the line.

BS

weve been useing the tac.(cant wait for the model!!!) its nasty . i just about took one out with 6 hoppers . but hoppers are needed to much on the ground to assiasinate ncos and other leadership. when i get a plasma then ill do better against them.

 

[g0dzilla]

until the TAC fighter blows away your plasma bug on its initial attack run.....

I kinda went with ground support, but I didn't have a great deal of joy with the tac Fighter,

So I dropped in in place of a extra MI sqd and another CHAS!
