I played a fantastic game with a buddy yesterday at the GW store. He taught me first hand how wonderful the Space Marine Centurions are. Those guys can lay down some smack! He had a neat little trick: he brought along an allied Dark Angel contingent so that he could have a DA Librarian follow the Centurions around with a Power Field Generator, conferring a 4+ Invul save to the Centurions (the Power Field Generator is a nifty piece of Special Issue Wargear only available to the Unforgiven).
I am really impressed by this idea. I am considering doing the inverse: adding Space Marine allies to my Unforgiven to get access to the Centurions and then having a DA HQ follow the Centurions around with said Power Field Generator.
What do y'all think of this plan? It costs about 495 points to implement: 65 pts for a SM Librarian (cheap HQ), 60 pts for a bare bones squad of Scout Snipers (cheap troops), 280 pts for a unit of Centurions kitted out with Grav Cannons and Missile Launchers, and 90 pts for a Dark Angel Techmarine who follows the Cents around with the Power Field Generator.
Of course, in an 1850 pt game (pretty standard around here), that's just over a quarter of my points for one (really good) unit. I'm undecided... what do y'all think? Cheers. Cope
