For me, Transports a a Small put purposefull part of my army, Although they may seem to be a can full-a kills, when used correctly transports can be a very effective part of the game. They not only help your troops Get to the ememy (weater its trukks for boyz or rhinos for marines). The best bet is to have 3 types of troops, The first being Recon and infintration units like scouts, the second should be the normall parts like tacticle marines, They move up like infintry and set up a basic line, Then the support units, like mounted units, whenever a unit needs some extra help, send a rhino space marines of tough to kill, and even harder if theres alot of them, also the space marines weapons are very effective in a tight battle because of there bolters rapid fire, So if your enemy has a line send some rhinos up there and rapid fire there arse IT does alot more then you think. The only problem is that they hold 10 of your beautiful marines and when the vehicle gets annahilated then there they go, this is the dowside to transports, the space marines haveGood BS, Good Toughness And a good save. And to see them die in a rhino can be hard to cope with But, seeing your mariens get to that objective 1 turn before the enemy does, Or When it gets 10-20 marines up to there lines and kills 20-30 men, it will pay itself back, but i wont always do this so use them wisely.
To sum it up rhinos can give you a massive advantage in combat and yet they can also kill alot of your men, so use them wisely.
Hope i could help.^^ |
