First off, Ozy, I like your first list. I wouldn't change a thing about it. There's enough synergy running that you can compensate for any "lost" kill points. You could always leave your tanks in reserver for the third game if you were super worried about them dying too soon (if at all).

I've always thought that the Speeder purchased with the Ravenwing squad was scoring, despite it having an armor value, as it is purchased with the squad and the codex says that it is independent and scoring. Is that how most play it? I've only had one dude in my gaming group complain about it and that's what's keeping me from buying Speeders as an upgrade as opposed to a Fast Attack squad.

I wouldn't sweat the psychic hood either. I was worried about it as well, but thought about the Doom/Fortune combo and then it hit me... if I'm allowing Banshees to get that close to my Terms, I'm doing it wrong. That, and there is enough anti-psyker stuff out there that almost makes the Libby a liability.

Either way, best of luck Battle Brother. I hope we're both able to bring the Dark Angels victory on Saturday. (And if you happen to have a moment, check out my 'Ard Boyz list too!)

I originally had a list much like Ozy's, but the 4th edition psychic hood has really saved me against lash prince and Zoanthropes. The Template spam from zoans is painful enough, but when the Lash princes start lashing your terminators away from the fight, you are pretty boned if you can't stop it.

Hey thanks. I did make one minor tweak to save some KP's but the core of the force is still there.

I'm inclined to agree that the speeder is scoring, but since I rarely use it the point is moot.

I'll go take a look at your list and best of luck tomorrow!

Rashim, with the amount of firepower I have in this list, I can take down 2 lash princes pretty quickly. I'd rather shoot them and then use Sammael for other purposes than lose him and add a Librarian.

If I had his jet bike model, I would take him, but I haven't had the money for him =(. While his Flying Landraiderspeeder is lolzy and amazing, I don't want my HQ being popped by a lucky las cannon shot =(.
