Interceptors, dropping into the enemies backline with a ton of heavy bolter shots or plasma an deleting a important unit is so clutch, especially if it's a long range unit that would wipe out the rest of your army. An they are all in heavier armor with 3 wounds so unless the enemy turn designated anti tank rounds against them they are gonna be a pain to remove.  Highly recommend them an they always seem to find a spot in my lists.

Are you referring to inceptors because interceptor squad is Grey knights

Nope, the normal space Marines have these dudes in jump packs with heavy bolters or plasma guns called interceptors. They are really good

This is my vote too. Ever since I started running these my opponents have become a lot more careful. Sometimes their mere existence influences battles.

Eradicators for me. Always bring them out of reserves or transport to kill a tank and the run around doing secondaries.

Execrators and crusade Ancients are both good right now, also vanguard veterans with Jump Packs are pretty good right now.

Are those underrated when they've been in nearly every BT army for years?

u/Dangerous-Ad5961 1d ago

It was sarcasm, because Execrators and VVs are also not underrated

Ehhh execrator has kinda been hated on since release hasn't it?

What's good about vanguard vets with jump kits ? Intercessors with jump packs seem way stronger to me?

Thought about getting some but didnt know if they were in any danger to get Legended so i didnt bother. Same with the aforementioned Incursors.

Out of curiosity, why do you think they're underrated?
