Drop Pods
There is going to be a new drop pod model for the Space Marines and I see a lot of talk on the forums about drop pod based armies. I played with those back in 3rd Ed. and honestly, I don't see the point. Here's my take:
Defender deploys all of his army. Attacker's Army comes in piecemeal depending on the roll of the dice. This means that ALL of the defender's fire can concentrate on a smaller portion of the attacker's army. This allows the defender to defeat the attacker in detail. The only reason to use drop pods would be if you were playing an assaulty army and even then you usually get too shot up before you can get your assault on.
Anyone else have any thoughts?
