RE: DA list feedback - Simian - 05-02-2013 A couple of options....all thoughts appreciated. 1 Belial Libby in Terminator armour Lvl2 6 DW terminators 1 AC 1 TH/SS 6 DW terminators 1 Cyclone 1 TH/SS 7man Tac squad with Missile and Flakk 7man Tac squad with Plasma cannon 5 man Black knights squad - 1 grenade launcher. Contemptor Dreadnought with kheres assault cannons Contemptor Dreadnought with lascannons and cyclone Or Belial Libby in Terminator armour Lvl2 10 DW terminators 1 AC 2 TH/SS 1 cyclone 5 DW terminators 1 Cyclone 1 TH/SS 10man Tac squad with Missile and Flakk + Flamer 10man Tac squad with Plasma cannon + plasma gun 5 man Black knights squad - 1 grenade launcher. 4 hyperios defence turrets RE: DA list feedback - jaqenhgar - 05-02-2013 What's the libby there for? not sure how he is adding to the list. Points could be better spent elsewhere imo, maybe on a ravenwing melta squad cos you can only deal with av14 in combat at the mo. i prefer list 2 but that's because I think the contemptors will get wasted, even with their 5++ save. RE: DA list feedback - Simian - 05-02-2013 Libby is there to keep the rerolls coming on the big squad of terminators after the initial drop but i take your point. dropping him would mean i could add a ravenwing squad with some melta i think. i'll have a look. they wouldn't be scoring though. Edit - ok, i can do a 5 man ravenwing squad with 1 melta or a 4 man with 2 and have 18 points left to spend RE: DA list feedback - Simian - 05-02-2013 Belial 10 DW terminators 1 AC 2 TH/SS 1 cyclone 5 DW terminators 1 Cyclone 1 TH/SS 9man Tac squad with Missile and Flakk 10man Tac squad with Plasma cannon 5 man Black knights squad - 1 grenade launcher + melta bombs 5 man Ravenwing squad - 2 melta guns 4 hyperios defence turrets I can split the 10 man Deathwing squad if i decide to have 5 troops but i do like having that 10 man beat stick. RE: DA list feedback - jaqenhgar - 05-02-2013 i like that better. Not sure if the deathwing can combat squad? shame to lose the plasma gun on the bigger tac squad - could you make enough points by dropping to 8 marines in the first tac? RE: DA list feedback - Simian - 05-02-2013 dropping to 8 would give me enough points, I didn't mean combat squadding the 10 man deathwing, i actually meant taking two squads of five instead. RE: DA list feedback - jaqenhgar - 05-02-2013 Oh OK, yeah I've not tried a 10man DW squad yet so don't know if that's better than 2 5 man or not. RE: DA list feedback - Simian - 06-02-2013 after much list crafting last night i got this down to two... One Balanced list with plenty of options. bang on 1746 Belial 10 DW terminators 1 AC 2 TH/SS 1 cyclone 5 DW terminators 1 Cyclone 1 TH/SS 8man Tac squad with Missile and Flakk 10man Tac squad with Plasma cannon + plasma Gun 5 man Black knights squad - 1 grenade launcher + melta bombs 5 man Ravenwing squad - 2 melta guns 4 hyperios defence turrets Two Slightly tougher but with less bodies on the ground. (14 points short) Belial 7 DW terminators 1 AC 1 TH/SS 1 CF 7 DW terminators 1 AC 1 TH/SS 1 CF 5 DW terminators 1 CML 1 TH/SS 1 CF 5 DW terminators 1 CML 1 TH/SS 1 CF Contemptor 2 TL-Las CML Hyperios missile battery x 4 (drop the two 7 man squads in via DWA other two go on the table) RE: DA list feedback - jaqenhgar - 06-02-2013 first list has bikes. End of discussion Seriously, I think the bikes lend much more to the force than the contemptor. Have heard good things about the grenade launcher since it drops T by one when it hits something and this affects instant death...ID'ing paladins with plasma The first list can also potentially have 5 scoring units if you draw the scouring mission. The bikes can contest objectives if they are still around late game etc. RE: DA list feedback - Simian - 06-02-2013 Im inclined to agree. I'll give it a test next Tuesday. I do like bikes. shame i cant get a dark shroud into the list (would need to find 80 more points) as the bonus to the jink cover save would be useful. 3 Black knights and 4 missile batterys (i undercoated my kitbashed ones last night) to paint then. |
