So, playing in a campaign and need some help versus some Chaos Lists... getting killed by a squad of 3 Obliterators and either a Heldrake or Daemon Prince with Wings, Power Armor, and Flaming Brand of Skalthrax (or whatever, AP3 template melts marines)...
The core of the force is fixed:
Captain with Bolter, Helfire Rounds, Lighting Claw, Meltabombs
10 Tactical Marines with Flamer, Missile Launcher, Sarge with Combi-Flamer
10 Tactical Marines with Plasma Gun, Missile Launcher, Sarge with Combi-Plasma
Now, I'm pretty sure I need to take an Aegis Defense Line with Quad Cannon for the AA fire... (I have a stormtalon in the mail, but not here yet)...
Then, I can either take a full 10 man Sternguard Veteran Squad with 2 Lascannons, 2 combi-meltas, and sarge with lightning claw and meltabombs (to break into combat squads)
& a Razorback with TL Lascannons
or
take 5 sternguard veterans with 2 lascannons, sarge with combi-melta (as mini-devastator squad) and
5 terminators including cyclone missile launcher and 1 chainfist
or
take 5 sternguard veterans with 2 lascannons, sarge with combi-melta
5 terminators (but not cyclone ML)
and a Razorback with TL Heavy Bolters....
Which do you think .. I'm tentative about giving up the Terminators but also not sure if the Razorback with just heavy bolters is worth it as it is the AP2 I really seem to be lacking in the rest of the force...
I could probably drop the Aegis and Quad Gun but then I think I would still be chewed up by the flyers...
Any recommendations would be appreciated!!
