it's tricky... On the one hand you have Black templar that can field huge squads that you run up the middle or toss in a landraider crusader, which will most likely contest or hold an objective, then you have the total opposite combo of combat squads.

The tricky thing about combat squads is using them.

Or KP missions you will be running a full 10 man squad which will likely have a serg, an assualt weapon and a heavy weapon plus some sort of vehicle or drop pod.

On Alpha like missions you'll have all your squads broken into combat squads to up the number of scoring units on the table. Which is great but you will probably be drop podding the assault weapon piece of the squad and shooting the other.

I actually applaud it as it follows codex astartes. It's one of the of the only things GW has done in a long time to force some fluff into 40k. BT are crusaders and thus pool recruits into units to maintain squads size, and BAs, DAs, SWs were all first founding with primarchs that had different ideas on Legion design.

But I hear you though, 8 guys is usually as strong as 10 and 2 SMs add up to a legitimate amount of points across a couple squads.

I would just succumb to the dark side and run Chaos.

Although, interestingly chaos has been running warbands of roughly 10,000 years and still haven;t some up with a transport for that many people??? What gives.

Can we get a Chaos landraider crusader already!!!

I have no problem taking a walking half deamon half landraider that can fight in hth...

It's just a matter of "GW time"

I wish I did!!! I have two unfieldable chaos armies!!! Sweet!!!
