Before I continue with my series on
Librarians and Psychic Powers, I’m going to take a minute to throw
out a little blurb about list building and what my strategy is with
Marines. I focus on building a ‘take all comers’ list with
synergy, redundancy and tactical flexibility in mind. When I look at
adding a unit to my army I want to be able to deploy and use that
unit in a different way every game depending on what kind of list I’m
facing, the terrain, and the mission(s). Good examples of this are
Terminators and Assault Marines. While the competitive viability of
these units is disputed on the Internet, they have exactly what I’m
looking for when it comes to tactical flexibility. They can be
deployed in a transport, deep strike, or go on foot depending on what
the situation calls for.
