Marine Tactica underway.

The five SM chapters that are being included are Ultramarines, Space Wolves, Dark Angels, Imperial Fists, and Blood Angels.

It's quite likely that the Smurfs will be the 'generic' option, with the other chapters taking the role of favours.

If I had to guess:

Imperial Fists = tankiness

DAngles = shootiness

Blood Angels = boarding

Space Wolves = gotta go fast

Bump

>no IN changes

what a shit fucking update

The devs said they're happy with IN. IN are going to stay shit forever.

how soon??

Space Marines on the 21st.


So I'll be out of town.

not soon enough

Though IN might be uncompetitive on paper, my experience in MP with an altogether average fleet composition (jack-of-all-trade Lunars and a Mars) has been very good simply because so many players are terrible, cowardly, or both.

I've had opponents warp out after losing a single Dauntless, or jump after camping in the corner and then getting spooked because I *gasp* brought along a nova and shitloads of torps.

You can basically win with anything in multiplayer if you're not totally incompetent and don't just warp out for no reason at the first sign of trouble.
