Space Marines are a good all round army, that have a good quality troop base, and some awesome models to go with it. Its been a few years since I played as space marines, and the rules have obviously changed, so i'm not that good with telling you the rules side of it. I'm sure 626 will tell you those soon.
One of the cons i think is that many people shape their armies to counter the good points of space marine, and create Anti-SM armies. As Space marines are so popular, especially with beginners, this is quite logical.
When i finished playing space marines, the new Rhino had just come out. Ive seen great additions and alterations to the models, especially the addition of better bits to the standard tactical squad, and the plastic scouts. After I have tamed the Hive Mind, I might try some Smurfs again.
I'm sure Sm are a great army to play, as the Pros at least equal the Cons. |
