They've got a valuable roel to fill in a lot of armies.<br /><br />I like them even in an IG force, mounted in Vendettas.<br /><br />I've found in a lot of my games VS. Sandwyrm that IG vets are pretty fragile. Crack their box open, and they fall down pretty easy.<br /><br />IST's are a little tougher to crack, and if there are Sisters with a Book of St. Lucius around, they're probably not going anywhere. Then again, A Book of St. Stubborn makes even IG much less likely to run.<br /><br />if you like IST's, try some Sisters with a Book. sure, no plasma, but they can have dual melta too.Farmpunkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09622091234212120598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6638616785966104829.post-42856684051196239442010-03-24T13:13:05.807+00:002010-03-24T13:13:05.807+00:00As Chumby says, getting the ISTs a ride from somew...As Chumby says, getting the ISTs a ride from somewhere else increases their effectiveness.<br /><br />ISTs are a very solid Troops choice in terms of anti-tank fire, and have the possibility of good mobility with a transport. They fall down on survivability and anti-infantry utility...but, as my end of the week article this week aims to display, this can be circumvented. :)<br /><br />Good article again Alex, thanks! :)TheKing Elessarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04981821487098781957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6638616785966104829.post-25968201272077271492010-03-24T13:03:00.794+00:002010-03-24T13:03:00.794+00:00ISTs are good for cheap melta in armies that need ...ISTs are good for cheap melta in armies that need them. My DA DW/mech army loves 'em. <br /><br />Those are some good points raised, and they're both useful units. People pick Vets for weapon saturation, possibility of orders, maybe using a doctrine (Demolitions + Valk = win), and of course they are required as your basic Troops choices.<br /><br />It wouldn't be a terrible idea to get a platoon, buy them Chimeras, then deploy cheap ISTs inside.Chumbalayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15543857960730597490noreply@blogger.com
