There are a lot of armies out there that can give this army a hard time (Mech (Dark) Eldar, SAFH SM) but I think it has a good chance against some of the top tier forces out there like Twin Lash/PM spam, Nob Bikes, and Loota Spam. Funny enough, some of the weaker armies are the ones that will give this the most trouble.

Basically I will use water style tactics to avoid fighting unless it's on my terms. The assault unit with Belial and the Libby will wreck most any unit's day (thanks to the Deathwing banner that increases everyone's attacks by 1) and the Heavy Flamer and Libby's Hellfury power will wipe out big units of Orks and Nids. Having only 20 models is a handicap but all the terminators are scoring and I only have 8 kp's.

Comments, criticism? If you don't like anything, please explain why and maybe add what you'd do differently.

Thanks!

I can see no flaw other than the low model count. But hey, you play DW. I looks tournament worthy.

I used to run the exact same list. Worked great, for a Deathwing list.

What were some of the things that gave you the most trouble?

Ozymandias, King of Kings

Tau/Mecheldar was pretty much a guaranteed loss.

I did reasonably well against Marines and Orks though. SAFH marines weren't that troublesome, perhaps because I didn't play against much meltaspam. Tactical squads are really, really, juicy targets for terminators in combat.

For kill point missions I'd usually just drive up, annihilate 3 squads with my Terminators and then hide in my land raiders for the rest of the game, and I'd usually end up winning the game 3-0 or 4-1 etc.

Cool, thanks!

For a Deathwing army this seems top notch.

It's vaguely reminicent of the DW army I used in Chicago several years ago....going 4 win 1 loss.

I wish I never would've ebayed that army.

seems like the only problem you have is being out manuevered, and possibly anyone playing a salamders army

not deepstriking anything behind yer enemy to squeeze them in?

I've been very wary of putting Land Raiders in my Deathwing list, but I think this could really work well for you.

Sorry, nothing really constructive to add, other than the fact that I like it and I think it will do well. You'll just need to be very careful...

Seen it done before - problem is that if your opponent manages to pop a raider or a unit, you're in trouble. In objective missions, you have to split up your forces, which can be trouble - a single unit of termies and a land raider, while powerful, can't stand up to everything, and with a smaller model count than even most other DW lists every little loss hurts.
