well. i got an 1850 lysander wing army.

with the rend cannons going down to 1 a squad, or 2 if you have 10 termies. i fear my army is going the way of the squ

i currently own.

15 eliet slot termies 6 of which are armed with rend cannons.
8 HQ slot termies 4 of which have cyclone missile launchers.
4 extra storm bolter termies
a 5 man CC termies squad
captian lysander (of course)
a termi lib (for FOTD and some time spell)

2 forge world pods
and 10 joe marines 2 armed with melta guns, 2 armed with combie melta.



my first thought was to carve up the army and sell it off squad by squad.

but then i got to thinkin, "you know this is the only fully painted and based army i have". so now i kind of want to rebuild for 5E.

so now i am thinking "mmmmm plastic drop pods", and black reach box with a decent ammount of marines. i am debating going to a drop pod / teleporting termie list....

well, anyone have any thoughts as to how i can fix my army for 5E and new marine dex..... if i dont end up using a lot of termies, i will go with a different paint job (and they will never get painted, so going with a lot of termies would be a good thing for me)....

IIRC, you will be able to take 10 man Terminator Squads in your Elite slots. There will no longer be Terminator HQ command squads, so 30 Terminators (less IC's) will be the max in the new Marine Codex. However, you'll still have extra Terminator heavy weapon models.

Or, look at the Deathwing list so you can max out on Terminators as troop choices.

The Lysanderwing will be gone come October. I guess he was too good in 4th and they needed to change things up to keep folks buying models.

as sarigar said, best off with Deathwing, more termies allowed.
and, count as troop
and with 5E rules stating only troops can capture objectives, who wants to try and get 10 termies off of each one?

arnt deathwing guys green though????

i got all those termies painted up in yellow

Deathwing are bone white. Just use Deathwing rules and keep your paint scheme.

hummmm

deathwing is in codex DA right??

that means they can get 2 rend cannons per squad i am thinking???

No they get 1 assault cannon per (5) man squad. The new codex terminators are probably going to be more cost effective but they won't be troops.

I believe the Black Templars codex still allows 5-10 man termie squads and up to 2 heavy weapons per. It would still allow your 2 AssCans per 5 man squad. They are even Imperial Fists successors, same gene seed. You could argue your force is embarking on some sort of penitent crusade. Down side is no Lysander.
