I have been playing deathwing for about 6 months now, and although I really like them, I have not done too well with them. I converted them to be Deffwing, which I love, so I don't want to shelf them. I tried a full DW list, added in preds, dreads, speeders, bikes, etc, and never really did that well at all. Since 6th dropped, I threw in some SW to plug some gaps in a DW army. Pretty standard rune priest, grey hunters, and long fangs. I have been doing a little better, but I am still the punching bag in my FLGS. I am going to Beakycon, and while I know I won't be the tops, I would like to do halfway decent. What would be a good 1999 list? I will post my full list tomorrow, but the basics I have been using is Belial, upgraded DW squads, 3 DW squads all with th/ss and cml, rune priest, 2 full packs of grey hunters with all the trimmings, a ml long fangs pack, and an aegis line with quadgun. I find that I have a really hard time holding objectives, and I seem to have no answers for the standard tourney lists I face at my store. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Keep living the dream.

Arent space wolves allies of convenience?

I would have said the biggest gap for DW is really just lack of antiflyer. You could argue about mobility.

I think it has changed with allies but for deathwing you are looking at a foot slogging gun line.

235 points all squads should look a bit like:
serg+ss/th, ss/th, ss/th, ss/th+CML, lc
with the apothecary being awesome and the banner being a good addition.

Then the typhoons are too cheap to ignore.
75 landspeeder with TML+MM

Belial probably needs SS/TH to stay alive.

You can write the list. It has no problems with staying alive but just with lack of firepower(also dealing with flyers). 18 missiles is a lot less than you think, then certain foes laugh at missiles so probably bring a blend of shootiness.
Most lists which are not flyer heavy will struggle to kill you and push you off objectives with this list.

I used to bring vindicators or preds or dreads as the boost, but why do that when you can bring allies.

Space wolves is tricky but I would be willing to try some terminators assault cannon and combimeltas in a drop pod with rune priest in terminator armour.
then plain grey hunters to man the quadgun and longfangs.

Else razorback grey hunters, rune priest, with DA vindicator and SW vindicator.

I guest I will find your actual list
