if you want ap3 use a leman russ, in terms of value for money vets beat stormtroopers hands down.

@ay2dee vets dont deep strike with meltas

[ay2dee]

@LearnMeHowWarhammer no but they can take a chimera which is dirt cheap, pop smoke and rush at the enemy. anyways deep striking is unreliable, the chances of landing within 6'' of the target vehicle to get 2 d6 for armour penetration with the meltas is unlikely

[LearnMeHowWarhammer]

@ay2dee thats why you take the reroll with the scatter

[ay2dee]

@LearnMeHowWarhammer thats all very well but then you have 5 isolated men with only 4+ save in the middle of the enemys lines. but hey if your getting decent results fielding stormtroopers then good on you, I only wish my memories of using them were so cheerful

[LearnMeHowWarhammer]

@ay2dee yup all im saying is i have had lots of sucess with them, they are throw aways but they give the rest of my army a good advantage by making 3 vehicles go away

Howling banshees are bad and aren't worth their points.

the only reason people would put storm troopers in a vendetta is cuz the vendetta has the rule were it terbo boosts and the guys inside and (grav-jump) oit. and noobs like to picture stormtroopers as US airborne or whatever and do that and they think its cool when they come out, i did it in my first game and my stormtroopers and the vendetta got recked before they could get out

@ay2dee u use stormtrooperz wrong then

[scaredchalk]

@coolhaloboy360 Kaskins and Stormtroopers are the same in the codex. There isnt two separate pages for kaskins and storm troopers. They just look different from eachother. I play a cadian look imperial guard army so I bought kaskins because they fit the fluff as part of a cadian army. Stormtroopers are worth their points they can last a good amount of time if you put them in a valkeryie or vendetta.

Also, the reason i'd go 6 man squad is that many enemy squads are 10 man, and if you manage to make them take more than 50% shooting casualties they must take a moral check... right? So basically they might not turn around and crush your stormies right away. Allthough chances are that if you need to use AP3 on it, it allready has good leadership save.

[Elephantintheroom01]

I'd go

6 squad w/ 1 melta or flamer but no special sgt

8 squad w/ meltabombs for a real tough tankkiller

10 squad w/ 2 plasma

Not putting assault weapons in there makes them pretty cheap, but meltabombs is a cheaper, more reliable way to kill vehicles. The plasma has better range rapidfire and ap2 for termies, but needs a 10 man squad for ensurance that your investment will get more than one round of shooting.

@ODSTHenry520 thanks

but my friend told me that kashkrins have less special rules than storm-troopers and are not worth their points

is this true?

[ODSTHenry520]

@coolhaloboy360 Kaskins are the equilvalent of storm troopers. Kaskins are Cadia's elite. They are the Cadian Stormtroopers.

@MrPrussianpride points.... why worry about the points? IT'S THE FRIKIN GUARD!
