===Using Suppression Tactics=== You probably shouldn't rely too hard on the Pinning aspect of your Chapter Tactic, while it is indeed powerful when the Pinning check is failed, many of your opponents have high leadership to begin with or are immune outright. Assuming they're not immune, you'll either want to fire normally, with checks inflicted on a variety of units, or focus-fire a single unit to inflict multiple Pinning checks. Pairing this with a Leadership-reducing unit like Silencers is a sure-combo to success. *Take Their Head is actually more useful than the Pinning itself, as +1BS also stacks with other common shooting bonuses like twin-linking or re-rolls of 1 to hit. Always make sure you ask which units in your opponent's army are Fearless so you know whether you get the +1BS bonus or not. *Halt Their Advance is a good bit more situational, and often times this will be paired with long-ranged firepower. While again this is useless against units with Move Through Cover, against those few scary melee units that are not immune you'll definitely want to use this shooting attack. However like it was mentioned, this should be paired with long-ranged firepower like artillery to continually whittle down the slowed unit so that by the time it reaches you it's basically a non-factor. *Suppressive Fusillade, aside from the -2BS modifier, is the most powerful out of all the special shooting attacks. You'll rarely force a 3D6 Morale check unless the unit had only 3-5 models to begin with, but the 3D6 Pinning check will ensure that even Ld8 armies like Space Marines and Eldar will have a tough time staying up. Think of using this ability as trading a unit's firepower for another unit's firepower. Assuming either of the 3D6 tests are failed, you will have basically traded hitting on 5's to force another unit to either not fire at all (falling back) or fire only on 6's (regroup or pinned). This is a balancing act between your unit actually being able to kill enough to force those checks and the amount of threat the target unit poses.
