I just wanted to ask everyone for their opinions on this. When Im building a space marine army of say 4000 pts, I would use a couple of infantry companies as the core of the army of course. Now the "standard" marine company is the tactical company. However, I never seem to buy this one as I, for just 100 points, get the veteran company which has morale 1 (TC has 2), +4 CAF (TC has +2), but is otherwise identical. Even worse is when I opt for close assault troops. The standard marine assault troops have a CAF of +3, and jumppacks, and cost the same as for tac. marines. So why bother with these i you can get the vets (with higher CAF, AND weapons with twice the range, plus better morale) for just 100 extra points? The veterans dont have jumppacks, but I never seem to need them anyway. The Terminators are the other choice for closecombat troops, but they are expensive and fewer. So whats wrong here? Maybe the veterans need to have their CAF lowered to +3, or maybe they should be made a bit more pricey?
Tell me what you think about this...
