Cagalli Yura Attha DarkElf27 Cagalli Yura Attha DarkElf27 Cagalli Yura Attha no, they count as death company. HQ choice, and the ONLY marine squad that can ever exceed 10 men in 3rd edition. o.O so you make it a squad of five for an HQ CHOICE??!?!?!? WHATS WRONG WITH YOU??????? no non o.. Blood Angel Chaplain is accompanied by D3+3 death company at no cost, but the chaplain costs 180 points. Before the start of the game, roll a dice for each squad on the table. On the roll of a 4 or 5, one model from that squad joins death company. On a 6, one joins and you roll again for that squad. They can have a free rhino, or jump packs at no extra cost. If you have 20 5-mans instead of 10 10-mans, you double your potential death company. you can only have 6 squads max. stare says who? if you're having a 40,000 point battle to last days... You'd run out of options. eh, the limit is 6 troop choices on the F.O.C.

Dark-Krazy exactly unless you are playing a game so large that you need an extra force org sheet. But even then that won't unbalance the game as you are suggesting Cagalli. I rely on numbers. most marine players use the sit back and fire til the enemy dies of boredom tactic. I don't buy ANY upgrades. Swarms of bolter marines, one chaplain with some wargear. That's all there is. The death company have rapid jet pack maneuvering, an attack bonus and a 4+ contingency save (not invulnerable, just a re-save) and so I try to get as MANY bolter marines there as possible to increase their survivability. Then I simply run them all forward, suffocating the table of life. 3nodding occasionally, a 5-man scout team with 4 snipers shows up.

Before the craftworld codex, the plan would work 90% of the time unless they were a gravtank whore and took the maximum of them.

THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH USING THE mAX OF THEM. mad

I'd say your rangers were toast and the warp spiders took damage, but not a whole lot else happened.
