Tank hunters for noise marines?

[ShadowDeth]

I'm starting to work on my slaanesh force, and I think it would be worthwhile to give normal footslogger squads tank hunters.

What do you guys think? They pump out a lot of accurate shots, and it would also benefit the token blastmaster in the unit either making it strength 9, or giving it two strength 6 shots versus vehicles. Since the squad size of slaanesh is 6, it wouldn't cost me many points to enable a squad or two.

I know it only makes them strength 5 versus vehicles, but even moving they will get 14 shots a turn. Think it's worth it for all the rhinos and other 11 AV vehicles I see?

Go for it.

What i tend to do... when ive got the opertunity to use the models... is to give each squad (no matter what God they follow) a different Vet. ability according to what i want and how im going to use it.

In my opinion Slaaneshi squads will get expensive quickly with Sonic Weaponry anyway. A mix in your Troops squads of sonic weaponry and a Champion with Power Weapon+Daemonic Strength will balance them nicely.

I would reserve the Tank Hunters for Havoc squads where it would be more useful with a larger number of heavy weapons in the squads. Of course there is nothing stopping you from giving it to your normal Marines if you wanted - it could just get expensive if you wanted to give them a nice champion and other things.

They are already expensive. It's juat another 18 points to give them the ability to wreck lighter vehicles.
