sternguard are goodish but there isn't much they can do that devs can't do better or equally as well. While still a good tier for space marines due to their heroes and unit scaling, they don't get the best option open up for them, but there is a improvement. This is where things start to kick up for most factions and at this tier they will probobly have weapons that can deal with your heavy armor, your units will prob start dying pretty fast at this tier if you aren't careful but its managable, in compairison to normal UA your heroes are still powerful but they were toned down and most factions have the tools to deal with them now so you have to be careful to try to keep them from getting overwhelmed by anti commander units, devs are very cost effective dps but if you just need something to stand in front of them and take shots, tactical marines are still cost effecient in that regard.most the vehicles at this tier unfortunatly are still not entirely worth it bikes are still a great unit to use to deal with tarpits and keep melee units off your tactical marines. tactical marines are very useful now, and assault marines were toned down, in how powerful they are. Space marines have a very strong tier zero. Probobly the most iconic of the warhammer 40k factions it is also a popular choice among many players, space marine units are tanky,expensive and can hit hard while their vehicles are also no joke as well,the predator tank being able to take on lemun russes with little issue.
