What do we have that chaos marines don't?

    Someone who likes to spit on people just an asshole... It seems absolutely appropriate, you know.

    Lol, okay. Whatever you say buddy.
  3. What you individually enjoy cannot be dictated, but we can measure how much more utility it has for the Apothecary to simply to throw a long lasting heal grenade, only occupying their movement for the length of a grenade toss, and then is immediately able to go back to shooting with a bolter, which is very strong atm.

    Compare this to Eldar and Chaos who needs to channel heal, not allowing them to fight for the length of heal, and also forcing them to de-equip their ranged weapon making them unable to respond efficiently to a distant threat. Then there's the Pain Boy who can only take a pistol, and their heal grenade is larger and therefore easier to destroy.

    Whether you enjoy the advantage or not is irrelevant to the clear mechanical advantage.

    Maybe it has been addressed in the 11 pages i haven't looked at but I've seen multiple people say 'better armor', they don't, a nekked space marine and chaos marine have both 200hp and 100 shield and 100toughness, their buyable LP armor is also identical in both stats and lp cost ie 250lp 20/20 0,5s and 400 30/30 1s.

    The survivability difference between a fully defense geared marine vs chaos marine is quite severe.
    Not counting trinkets
    Chaos: 60 toughness 45 armor 20health or 65ehp for 650lp
    SM: 30 toughness 60 armor or 80 if you really want to literally sacrifice everything else, for 610lp or 750lp


    Before sm used to have base 20 more armor but that was removed intentionally or not, I think in 1.3.

    Am I the only one who hears it or do LSM really shout something like "We are salt!" sometimes before matches begin?

    Thats you because LSM shout "We Shall Salt them to death in the emperors name!"

    But really, is it what they shout? Something very close to it yet it sounds incredibly funny (given that bug when it's actually CSM who have LSM background voices :D)

    Its close to it its not salt but if i am not wrong its
    "we shall slay them in the emperors name"
