What Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine Heavy Support choice should I select?
I currently collect Space Marines and have a solid 1000 army. Currently, I have Devastator Squads for the Heavy Support choice but would like to change it up a bit. I have 20 Terminators in my army and would like a good heavy support choice that runs parallel with them. I am considering the Thunderfire Cannon, Whirlwind, Predator Destructor and the Land Raider Redeemer but cannot decide which one to choose. Any suggestions?
How in heaven’s name do you get 20 terminators in a 1000 point army? Not that it isn’t possible it just… doesn’t leave much tactical flexibility in the new edition, what with needing Troops choices to claim objectives. Still…
…looking past that interesting piece of trivia, the obvious “support” choice for a Terminator-heavy army is a Land Raider or variant taken as a transport. However, this does mean not deploying your Terminators by teleport, which rather detracts from one of their most tactically-useful qualities: the ability to cover a great deal of ground in their initial move.
I’d personally recommend either a Vindicator or Whirlwind. The new “direct fire” rules for the Whirlwind make it a good deal more useful in open terrain than it used to be. Plus, the new template rules mean that these weapons will always hit *something*, whereas the Predator still runs a one-in-three risk of hitting nothing at all with each shot.
Vindicators, in my experience, are awesome (and I speak as one who has been their victim on a regular basis). Whirlwinds have the advantage of range and indirect fire, but nothing says “welcome to the battlefield” to that annoying squad of Swooping Hawks or deep-striking Chaos Terminators than a S10 AP2 ordnance blast template.
