I've been considering doing a small marine force for a very long time now and the new Codex has only exasperated this. I've also always liked the idea of Sternguard and the Crimson Fists...they're down but not not. And Spanish!
Would a small force of Sternguard lead by Pedro Kantor, backed up by Dreadnaughts and Scouts be considered cheesy or is it an acceptable army for casual play?
Speaking of Sternguard, what's a good load out for them? I was thinking that combi-flamers would be a good weapon for them because they can act as a defense against assaults whilst still allowing for those sweet special ammo rounds to be used.
