All Space Marines can pull tanks apart with their bare hands now, you don’t need Assault Marines to do it, even scouts can use their sniper rifles as pry bars and take most of the leman russ variants apart bolt by frickin bolt.

As @edge said it’d only be 5 HoW attacks but I think it’s also important to mention that you don’t get any HoW if you’re Assault Marines moved using their jump packs in the movement phase. They have to walk 6″ on the ground the same as everyone else, terrain tests n’all, so you’re sacrificing that mobility for a could of hits. Yes they’re hits rather than attacks so it’s good but given they need to walk up like anyone else, it’s not that good.

If you like your meltabombs, then start playing Black Templars. The Assault Squads are expensive at 22 points per marine, but the meltabombs are comparitively cheap at 2 points, and the whole squad can have them.

Well if you have enough inches, which I think they had, they could all be moved with their bases to the hull of the vehicle. Realistcally I would use jump packs to move and assault without the reroll/hammer of wrath against a vindicator. Pfff hell no am i going walk up to a vindicator. Troop transport on the other hand have to be destroyed by shooting then assault the disembarked. Why not kill the transport and it’s occupants rather than destroying a 35-50pts dedicated transport just to get your jump packers shot up. Plus the explode result sucks when your… Read more »

Are Necron Triarch Praetorians worthwhile now?

Don’t you need base contact for hammer of wrath to apply?

To summarise what they didn’t tell you in the video: Jump packs (JPs) used either in move OR assault phase each turn… … (may need JP for move (12″) to get into assault range in first place)… … If using JPs to assault, may re-roll charge distance… …Hammer of Wrath (HoW) only gained for assault with JP, counts as I10 in fight phase! (Any difficult/dangerous terrain between you and target will also influence this) Only models in base contact (didn’t exceed charge distance) have HoW, though as demonstrated that’s not such an issue as others within 2″ will pile in… Read more »

The only way I’d ever consider playing assault marines again in my vanilla army would be if they could count as troops. They’re still not worth taking, and easily defeated by too many other armies in CC.

BA FAQ has just confirmed:
Q: Does a model that uses the Wings of Sanguinius to charge an enemy unit in the Assault phase gain the Hammer of Wrath special rule? p(63)
A: Yes.

Oh Yes!
