Quick question, if you pop a tank with the spears are you allowed to assault the unit inside? Always thought they were a different 'unit'
Yes you can assault the Squad inside. My connection sucks right now or I would try to find the FAQ that clears it up. Check to Rules Questions threads and you can find the link. That allows the spear to make 3 attacks in one turn, 1 to throw and 2 to assault on the charge. They have worked for me on several occasions. Not the perfect load out for every army or every situation, but nothing is perfect 100% of the time.
I prefer the ability to throw first and avoid having only CC weapons to be better then the extra attack in CC. Only my opinion.
