Anyone Play Deathwing? - 2006/02/27 10:02 I hhave a bit of a smallish game coming this week that I have the OPTION of fielding a very small deathwing force for purely just overwhelming scaryness.. no one at this partcular store has seen a deathwing force. It is a league game that I am leading the league by a point. Just interested in thoughts for the moment.

Here is my pure deathwing force: Total 1100 points.

Chaplain: Crozium Acanis + Power Sword
Terminator Armor

Codicier: Force Weapon: Stormbolter, Fury of the Ancients
terminator Armor

Terminator Assault Squad 5 Lightning Claws (furious Charge)
Veteran Sergeant: Powersword and Thunder Hammer

Terminator Squad: 1 Cyclone ML, 1 Assault Cannon, 2 Stormbolter/Powerfist (Tank Hunters)
Veteran Sergeant: Power Sword, Stormbolter

Land Raider Crusader : Smoke Launchers

Re:Anyone Play Deathwing? - 2006/02/27 10:54 ok here is my review of your list:

Chaplain: Crozium Acanis + Power Sword + Terminator Armor

The chaplain already comes with a power weapon for free (the crozius arcanum) so just give him termy armour and a stormbolter.


Codicier: Force Weapon: Stormbolter, Fury of the Ancients, terminator Armor

Why do you want another leader? I think you should cut this leader and get more normal termys in there as its a waste to have 2 leaders really.


Terminator Assault Squad 5 Lightning Claws (furious Charge)
Veteran Sergeant: Powersword and Thunder Hammer

Edit: bugger just noticed you have a land raider in the list, sorry


Terminator Squad: 1 Cyclone ML, 1 Assault Cannon, 2 Stormbolter/Powerfist (Tank Hunters)
Veteran Sergeant: Power Sword, Stormbolter

Recommend that you take out the cyclone and put in another assault cannon, you will be suprised at how good they are vs armour.



Here is the list i would do.

HQ

Codicier: Force Weapon: Stormbolter, Fury of the Ancients, terminator Armor, stubborn.
138 points

Really you only need a cheap HQ choice as from what ive seen, termys are more effective at range than in close combat. This leader should give some bite to the squad he joins.


TROOPS

Terminator Squad - 3 normal terminators, 2 assault cannon terminators, 1 sgt.
280 points



Terminator Squad - 3 normal terminators, 2 assault cannon terminators, 1 sgt.
280 points


Now where you go from there is upto you, i assume your points limit is 1000 so you could go for a landraider and make one squad bigger or throw in a dread or 2 and get some more terminators.

Re:Anyone Play Deathwing? - 2006/02/27 14:28 The Assault sqd is costing you fire power. So with such a small army I would go with a standard DW sqd. I would double up your Hvy weapons meaning one sqd gets two AssCan while the other gets two CML's.

I agree with Brother Xeres in regards to HQ units. Dump one of them (it doesn't have to be the Librarian though).

Re:Anyone Play Deathwing? - 2006/02/28 08:48 Only take tank hunters on a unit with 2 cyclones, otherwise it isn't worth it.

Astromarine, the site looks awesome.
Let's get this beastie up and rolling asap.

Re:Anyone Play Deathwing? - 2006/02/28 10:44 I am taking 1000 points of Deathwing goodness to the Adepticon 2006 in Chicago towards the end of March (26-29) and it is a team based tourney so ill have 3000 point ally with me (not that we need them ...) (its a 4 man team tourny, 1000 each.)

Interrogator-Chaplian (master of sanctuary)
Standard Gear + Blades of Reason + Terminator Amror
130 Points.

x4 Command DWTs
Standard Gear
190 Points

2 Units of x6 DWTs
Stnadard Gear + x2 Assault Cannons
310 Points Each -}620 Points.

Total: 940/1000

I will probably give my IC squad Furious Charge or Chainfists. I made the list this way primarily because of painting/modeling time becuase I still work a full time job and still working on my 1000 Point Dwarfs for the same tounry.

Re:Anyone Play Deathwing? - 2006/02/28 16:17 Hi warlord, mate i recommend not bothering with the chainfists and putting a few more marines in there. Ill think of some good tactics for your list and post them here. Brother Xeres Signing out

Re:Anyone Play Deathwing? - 2006/02/28 16:26 Yeah that's what I think I will do just depends on whether or not I can scrounge up the cash for more termi models ... so for now itll be more termies or Furious Charge.
