i thought about starting a deathwing army, 'coz of the termis as troops...but are they any good in 1500pts. games or are they too few models to win???

i think it takes finesse to win. are you talking pure deathwing? like termies, dreds and landraiders only or you loking for a hybrid list offered in the new book?

Good question, been thinking about this myself as I've already got quite a few terminators and assault terminators and soon getting 10 more AoBR terminators.

I play normally as Ultramarines though, so I'd have my "1st company" using the dark angels codex. (My friends didn't have a problem with me doing so, as its only a color that is wrong anyways, rest is according to the codex).

Just toyed around yesterday and came up with :

Captain Agemman (Count as Belial)
-130p

5x Terminators w/ TH & SS
- 215p
5x Terminators w/ LC
- 215p
5x Terminators w/ Cyclone Missile Launcher
- 235p
5x Terminators w/ Cyclone Missile Launcher
- 235p
5x Terminators
- 215p

Land Raider Crusader
- 250p

Adds up to 1495p


This might not be good at all, just something i wrote up yesterday evening (late ;P).

I'd take dreadnoughts, but as I dont have drop pods, they'd be too slow in my opinion. Could also put 1 thunder hammer in each squad or so?
But its really not many wounds for 1500p, dunno what to improve though.

A little late posting on this but Deathwing is good but not great.

DA TH/SS suck. They are a 4+ invuln save ONLY IN CC!

Our CML's are also lackluster. They are only 1 shot instead of 2 =(.

You also don't have an apothecary or DWS which you need both in Belials squad. It's better to run mech DW then foot IMO. We just get shot up to much. Here is my list (in the making ATM)

Thats my 1500 list.

Belial – 130
TLC

Deathwing Terminator Squad – 280
TLC/Sergeant; Apothecary/TLC; TLC/DWB; TLC; CF/HF

Deathwing Terminator Squad – 225
TLC/Sergeant; TLC; TLC; TLC; CF/HF

LRC – 250

LRC – 250

Landspeeder – 65
Multi-Melta; Heavy Flamer

Landspeeder – 65
Multi-Melta

IST – 120
5x; 2x Meltaguns; Rhino

IST – 120
5x; 2x Meltaguns; Rhino

hmmm i thought about bulding a "pure" deathwing army...but like you guys said thats not many wounds for 1500 pts
i've got this list here:

HQ -belial: 130pts

Troops: -Deathwings(Apothecary, SB, 1 AC, 2 POLC)=300pts

-Deathwings(1 Th/SS,3 POLC, 1 ac)= 245pts

-Deathwings(1 Th/SS,3 POLC, 1 ac)= 245pts

Deathwings(1 Th/SS,3 POLC, 1 ac)= 245pts

HEAVY SUPPORT: LRC=(extra armor) 265pts.

= 1430 pts. .....i dunno where i should get something for 70 points...
