 Re: HQ guide
a standard (not a banner) can be useful in some situations but as i said earlier if you do not often put yourself in situations where they are useful than it is pointless to pay the points..less is more with gaurd. if you take a heavy weapon and the standard out of the a comand squad it is equivilant to a ratling or two. they auto hit on a certin number and wound on a certin number and this is handy when going against carnifix an dother multiwound targets. on the other hand if you often put yourself in situations where the standards bennifets are going to be used but do not want to move the comand squad arround a lot than a missle launcher and standard or even a autocannon in the comand squad may be useful. anything in the codex is useful in the right situations it depends on what you want ot focus your force on.....hope that helps |
