OK, here's another list I think will be kicking teeth in due to the new FAQ. This one is a bit obvious, but still really cool!

Crazy scoring power, low KP, low model count, shoots like hell, assaults well, infinite range psychic hood. Lacks any ap2 shooting, but is still powerful

Again, off the cuff, but there is a lot of potential here. Maybe toss in a Ravenwing squad for some doublewing action and really have some flexibility.

It should work about just about anything except AV14 or Hordes, both of which are fairly rare, but nigh unstoppable against this list I'd say...

Used correctly, I reckon this'll be very dangerous, however I reckon doublewing would be a better option IMHO.

"As I recall, your face was tortured. Imagine that - the Master of the Wolves, his ferocity twisted into grief. And yet you still carried out your duty. You always did what was asked of you. So loyal. So tenacious. Truly you were the attack dog of the Emperor. You took no pleasure in what you did. I knew that then, and I know it now. But all things change, my brother. I'm not the same as I was, and you're... well, let us not mention where you are now."

Yeah, it may be a bit too, well, two dimensional in this case.

Doublewing may be the better option as they do synergise so well.

I've been looking at that old codex too, thinking of using it to represent my ultramarines first company in battle. There's two suggestions I would make. First is to drop the standard on the upgraded deathwing squad, everything is fearless in this army. Second you're hurting in melta firepower, so I would suggest either upping the landspeeders to have melta (Not that great with Melta/TML) or dropping 2 terminator squads and the speeders to grab 3 Ravenwing attack squads so that it's something like this.


Belial- TH/SS- 130
Librarian- Terminator Armor- 145

Terminators- 4xTH/SS, 1xLC, Cyclone Missile Launcher, Narthecium- 265
Terminators- 4xTH/SS, 1xLC, Cyclone Missile Launcher- 235
Terminators- 4xTH/SS, 1xLC, Cyclone Missile Launcher- 235
Terminators- 4xTH/SS, 1xLC, Cyclone Missile Launcher- 235
Tactical Squad- MG, Rhino- 135
Tactical Squad- MG, Rhino- 135


Ravenwing attack Squadron- 2 Meltaguns, MM Attack bike- 190
Ravenwing attack Squadron- 2 Meltaguns, MM Attack bike- 190
Ravenwing attack Squadron- 2 Meltaguns, MM Attack bike- 190

Then go with whatever else you want for the last 60 points. The problem is you're putting all your eggs in the terminator basket, leave something back to at least control one of your objectives.

The standard gives the whole squad +1 attack, that's why it is taken. Also, Ravenwing speeders upgrade to Melta for free, the Typhoon is 10 points. All of those speeders are MM/TML.

I think he simply needs a few Chain Fists scattered around to deal with AV14. Hordes will still take it apart, but at least he has Frag Spam.

I like it Reece. Mine is similar but I think yours is in for a world of hurt on against Daemons. Especially ones that take bloodcrushers. Or against blob guard, horde orks, or tyrannids really. Basically I'd say drop one squad of termies for 2 dreadnoughts w/h. flamers and your choice of heavy weapon.
