Not sure how best to put this... What are the general feelings out there regarding the rules for Power Weapons? I had heard the term "Modelling for Advantage" somewhere, and saw it for the first time tonight... Now, Power Lances were never a Marine weapon AFAIK, but since there are no real limits, if you build/model it, then it is... So, looking at putting Power Axes on a few of the Death Company at least in place of my traditional Power Fists... 15 points instead of the 25, and both AP 2. The Power Axe on the Charge gives me 5 attacks at Str 6 compared with the 4 attacks at Str 9. No real difference between 8 and 9, so the furious Charge is "eh" for this, but the Axe is 10 points cheaper... Not sure if I will end up doing this for my other Power Weapons, but it is looking like an option for mixing in stuff...
Lost badly this evening, but I think it highlighted a major problem with my list... The Drop Pod for the DN is I think a failure. And since it goes out unsupported, I have nothing really to deal with the big nasty characters... Or even really powerful HtH units... The Las Cannon on the Aegis line is pretty good, well worth the 35 points, but I think I had a lack of long ranged AT weaponry... So things like the Predator have to come out to play. The Vindicator was "eh", and I know I jumped it out too quickly, but barring it coming in from reserve, it wouldn't have lived in any case... It killed a Rhino and 2 Wolf Cav, so it almost paid for itself... But that is just running in place really, trading chess pieces and not really winning me any battles.
Something to think about for later in the week or next week :-)
