Sonic blasters are good, but not on everyone. Take a ratio of 1-1, or 2-1 CC/Sonic shooty squads. Keep them off your aspiring champions. Bolt Pistol, Power Weapon, Doom Siren. That way, your unit = tactically flexible fire squad/support assault unit. The high points cost eliminates using them to a prolific amount though. Use too much, and the low body count outways the firepower and flexibility. I tend a little on the heavy side to sonic weaponry because I face armies that like to run around a lot (Night Lords and Eldar). So, a strong core of movable firepower is important to keep the squads running the direction I want them to.
Also, I tend to find a blastmaster, insted of a fifth sonic blaster, is the set up I roll with. Just that added punch if needed. |
