This truly is one of the best things going for Tacticals, we’re assuming of course GW does not stick to their current Draft FAQ ruling on this. You can shave points by not taking some of the options and focus on specializing the unit to perform a specific function or give them all the kit you desire.įrag and Krak Grenades. The fact they fit so nicely into the best Marine formation and can remain cheap or be kitted out to serve your purposes is just icing on an already lavishly appointed cake. While they really didn’t get a points reduction in an absolute sense (a unit of 10 with a Missile Launcher, Flamer and Vet Sarge is the exact same price as it was last edition) it’s the fact that you don’t have to kit them out that way that is such a nice change. 7th edition is the Formation edition and Tactical Squads form the backbone of the most prolific, adaptable, and efficient formation in 40k today. Tactical Marines are cheap, just 70 points for 5 bare-bones marines and that is truly their greatest strength in 7th edition.
Add in Chapter Tactics and Combat Squads to everything else just covered in a few short(ish) sentences and you have a fantastic all around unit. The core to what makes Tactical Marines so good: they’re reliable. Couple unit options flexibility, and tabel top role flexibility with And They Shall Know No Fear, which is hands down one of the best rules in the game, and you’ve got something special. Currently Tac Marines are solid and provide a truly flexible scoring unit that can be kitted out to do nearly anything you need them to. The almightyTactical Marines! These guys go back to the beginning of GW and 40k, and they’ve always had a place on the table top. This is also the only way to get them above Leadership 8… The Sarge Vet Sarge can take Melta Bombs, a Teleport Homer, Melee Weapons or Ranged Weapons options or swap his Bolter or Bolt Pistol for a Chainsword for free.you can take one special and one heavy weapon with 10 man squads. Heaps of options! 1 Marine can take a Special Weapon or Heavy Weapon at 5 men, at 10 you can take a second option from one not already used.While they’re still the bread and butter of every Marine list the Battle Company build means they have increased mobility but slightly decreased flexibility due to the lack of 10 man squads for Combat Squading. The coming of the 7th edition Marine codex gave the Tactical squad an increased prominence in Marine lists the world over but also a more min-maxed roll.
They are also flexible on a game to game basis, able to Combat Squad when needed, kill units, hold objectives, tie up lesser troops in close combat, take down walls of rhinos with their Krak grenades, the list goes on. The sheer amount of ways you can play this unit means you are able to shape them to fit into almost any type of list. Their strength is their relatively low points cost–only 14pts–and they can be taken in squads of 5-10. While they are not nearly as powerful on the tabletop as they are in the books if you play to their strengths, they will consistently win you games. Shocking! Jokes aside, this is a great unit, and one of the better troops in the game. Tactical Marines are actually a very flexible scoring unit. In the books, they’re soldiers par excellence, but how do they rate on the table top? They’re described as being the most flexible of all Space Marines, and veterans of years of service, if not decades, in a Chapter’s Scout, Assault and Devastator companies. They form the backbone of a chapter of Space Marines and the backbone of the 40K universe. Tactical Marines, the bread and butter of the Battle Company.
