Editing Centurion Squad (section)

===Power Rating===
Centurions hit a bit of a snag with Power Ratings. Sure, you can pick all those expensive guns and upgrades for free... except that a 3-man Assault Squad clocks in at 15 Power. You can get ''three'' 5-man Tactical squads with only three Bolter shots short for that cost. Sure, they're more fragile but they're faster and can take just about any transport for a ride. And the Devastator squads cost ''17 per 3 Centurions''. For one point more you'll get 8 Lascannon shots on two sturdy Predator tanks. Sure, you'll trade your missiles in for those shots and durability, but two tanks can do more than one small squad. The Heavy Bolter route is better. A six-man squad of Centurion Devastators can have 12 Heavy Bolters and 36/72 Bolter shots for 34 points. thats a total of 108 shots at range of 12 take that for what you will. overwatch anyone?

So are they still useful? Yes, if you're willing and able to make the investment and can deal with all your firepower in one point. If not, it might be best to look at other options.
