Editing Warhammer 40,000/6th Edition Tactics/Space Marines (section)

====Strengths & Weaknesses====
'''Pros :'''
*From turn 1 you determine where the majority of fighting will be at, thus forcing your opponent to be on his feet tactically.
*A --> B, it gets you there, no questions asked.  You no longer have to worry about Rhinos and Razorbacks getting popped with flimsy AV11 HP3 and being stranded 24"+ from your intended objectives
*Option of null deployment, you can start with nothing on the table!  Very powerful if you can waste an opponent's turn.
*Alpha strike, 9/10 times with the exception of Interceptor shots, you will get in the first strike, meaning your opponent should always be on the backfoot in these fire fights after you drop.  

'''Cons :'''
*Weak to Flyers; Stalkers, Hunters and ADL's w/ Quad gun are weak counter-measures in a drop army when you're trying to limit the number of static units you have in your army.  Flyers are your friends here.
*Interceptor, you must always be aware of which units have it and where, or you can get torn to shreds before firing a shot.  Drop strategically to give you cover or drop units that can tank the hits face on. 
*Lack of mobility after drop.  Your army at this point is mostly foot-slogging, so you must take this into account when choosing your drop sites
