Editing Mantis Warriors (section)

=Chapter Tactics=
Forge World has released rules for all the chapters in the Badab War. The Mantis Warriors are... a mixed bag. First, their non-bulky models gain Move Through Cover and Hammer of Wrath and if they declare a charge while in cover, they gain Furious Charge. The whole army can also re-roll Seize attempts. 
It's an obviously melee-focused set but prevents terminators and jump infantry (traditional marine melee) from benefiting. However, it can be fairly puissant if coupled with pistol or shotgun scouts. For elite options, there's the honour guard or a veteran/command squad in an assault transport.

Eighth edition, of course, negated the above rules. They're probably best served as Blood Angels at this point, although the Black Templar chapter tactics could work, as well, if one wanted to keep them codex-compliant.

As of 8.5, they are officially rolled into White Scars successor chapter rules.

As of 9th, you're just better off sticking with White Scars or, better yet. Pick two from the Successor Chapter rules that fit. They suggest that for the Badab War chapters that got to stay in the new Forge World compendium, anyhow.
