Remember old school assault cannon spam? This is a return to heavy weapon spam.

5 terminators with double cyclones put out FOUR strength 9 shots a turn. Not 2 like dark angels. FOUR.

That's really a lot. But DA Termies are fearless and can be taken as troops.

Deathwing > Sword Brethren.

**Grey Templar**

Yeah, but the Deathwing are leaning to the side of being CC specialists while the Swordbrethern can be absolutly devestating in shooting and also good in CC.

I could image a BT army with 3x 5 Termies each of which with 2 cylcones and tank hunter.
Quite expensive but 12 S9 AP3 48'' shots can be quite devastating.

For the Black Wing;
I like the 5/5 crusader squad with plasma cannon/flamer in rhino. At 200 points, it's got enough bodies to last a while on an objective, anti-horde and mobility.

I also think that 5 terminator squads is over-kill. Maybe 3.

where are you guys getting S5 storm bolters?
Tank hunter only gives +1 to armor penetration rolls, right?

**Grey Templar**

they are referring to it against Armor penetration.

Tank-Hunters IS the same as being at +1 Str.

Yes, but the point being the whole squad gets it and Str 5 vs AV 10 isn't terrible.

**Grey Templar**

Having Str5 vs Tanks is just icing on the cake for having 4 Str9 Krak missiles.
