But what the hell is a chapter and a successor chapter? What Are Successor Chapters? If money permits, I would highly suggest Betrayal at Calth as that gives you a sizable SM force and a range of bitz that lets you build up another devastator squad easily. After an enemy unit ends any kind of move within 9″ of one of yourunengaged infantry or mounted units, your unit can move D6″

There’s also a good stepping stone towards this on the way to 1500pts – if you take out the second copy of Start Collecting Vanguard and the Phobos librarian, you’re left with just over 1000pts and can get under it while keeping a Battalion by shuffling the model counts on the Infantry. All in all it revolves around your playstyle and your chapter tactics, as you'll have to select units that synergise well with this in mind. The Suppressor Squads have a movement of 12 allowing them to redeploy easily to a better firing position to rain down on their enemies with their Accelerator Autocannons. These weapons fire 2 shots at Strength 7, doing 2 wounds with -2 AP. They are capable of devastating units and vehicles. They also have the Suppressing Fire special rule, which means that if a unit loses a model to the Accelerator Autocannons, it can't fire it's overwatch. This allows you to set up some devastating follow up charges with assault units like Primaris Reavers. Chaos Space Marine Daemonkin It's also rather interesting to note that besides assembly instructions and bases (including flight stands for your Suppressors), the Start Collecting! Space Marines Vanguard also comes with a large number of decals for those absolutely-precise details on your models. That's really cool, and something I have absolutely no experience with trying, as of yet. Are you excited for Shadowspear? Are you buying it for the Vanguard Space Marines, Daemonkin or both? What do you think of the new miniatures? Let us know in the comments below.

Meta leader: Marines were the meta leader for the last few months, and any competitive list is going to have them in mind as a list to beat. You are unlikely to get a good run of favourable match-ups. Do you like winning your games, or do you not care if you get absolutely stomped every game, as long as your models look cool? They shall be my finest warriors, these men who give of themselves to me. Like clay I shall mould them, and in the furnace of war forge them.

the Start Collecting! Vanguard Space Marines box comes with seventeen Space Marines, as I'd mentioned, on three different sprues. From the looks of it, all the bits from the different units are mixed up on the sprues, and so it's the buyer's responsibility to read the instruction booklet (which also comes with the box, of course!) and unscramble them in a way that pleases the God-Emperor. Or not, if you're a filthy heretic. Source: Games Workshop The dread is good. Run him as a standard dread of a venerable dread as you see fit but I have found personally that they work best when you have 3 or 4 and your opponent has to work out which to take out first.These successors are known as the “rad” and “actually awesome” Space Marines and are normally played by good looking and fashionable people.

These are complete, self-contained armies you can use in the variant Combat Patrol game mode, which is a great way to get started with the game as it has very slightly simplified rules. A.) Incredibly bias because they can't admit they want their army to be the best and steamroll everyone else (note how many debates on effectiveness basically devolve into "I want my weakest unit to walk naked across the board and browbeat the other guy into submission in one turn, or else my entire army is Underpowered and you should feel ashamed to tell me otherwise") At this point I would not get any short marines. Try to get hold of the primaris half of the starter instead.The Space Marine Rhino armored transport is a little tougher than it was in ninth edition, and regains the ability to self-repair, and for models to fire out of its top hatch as it did in older editions of 40k. Unit wise bolt rifle Intercessors are flexible decent troop choices in most lists. Inceptors with assault bolters are great for dropping in and dishing out a boatload of bolter shots. Hellblasters a great unit but also are your only method of AT in the box, they’ll have to do a lot of heavy lifting.
