==Chapter Tactics==

[[Forgeworld]] has free rules for the Star Phantoms available for download which separate them from other [[Codex]] [[Space Marines]].
*First, their chapter tactic allows them to reroll reserve rolls of 1 for [[drop pod|anything]] [[Assault Squad|that]] [[Terminators|deep strikes]], and also they get a [[Ultramarines|one-use ability]] where all weapons in the army become twin-linked for one (game!) turn. So pretty much these guys are the SURPRISE FUCKERS who turn up and blow your shit up in one go.
*Also, to represent the Star Phantoms particular lust for firepower, their one special character allows you to take Devastators as Elites choices as well as Heavy, allowing you a total of SIX devastator squads in a CAD to [[cheese|BLOW THE FUCKERS AWAY]], though this function has little use in an environment with Formations (in particular, the Gladius Strike Force). You also have to pay points for this ability whether you use it or not. Also, as of 913.M41, he's dead as dicks.
*As of 8th edition, FW has not given them chapter tactics to keep in line with the new edition's codex. They are probably best served with [[Salamanders]] tactics for their re-rolls at this time. Which is hilariously ironic given their extreme differences in temperament and value of human life.
*With 8.5 codex release, the Long Range Marksmen and Master Artisans traits are the most likely replacements, although you could make a case for having Indominable.
