Taking one last run at my favorite DA tournament list before the new codex is released (and inevitably changes things) here is what I am planning on running the last few weeks of september and early October for 6th edition

41 fearless terminators, yields low kill points , Cyclone missile launchers that give you 14 strength 8 long range shots or 14 small plates (and they rarely stop firing because of relentless and the fact that they are hard to kill). 33 TH/SS with the option of death wing assault depending on mission etc covers any in your face assault .

Simple , easy , deadly

Belial HQ

1x 5 Deathwng ( 4 TH/SS 1 HF) Elite
1x 5 Deathwng ( 4 TH/SS 1 SB/PF 1 CML)

I don't know anything about DA, but this list doesn't look very fun to play :/

Well first thing I would imagine is to fnd out about DA ! :-) thank you for the feedback

I play DA and thats not fun to play. Its actually a very boring list to me.

Would drop the CF's and a TH/SS from each squad and give them LC's in case of hordes. You will get bogged down pretty quick.

But to each there own.

Personally, I think you are still running too heavy with the TH/SS Deathwing. I like the addition on SB/PF Terminators in each squad but it still seems like you are relying very heavily on a 3++ save to get you through shooting and assaults.

Its a very one dimensional list. As such there are quite a few lists that you will really struggle against. TWC and NobBikers are one thing, fliers are another. Horde armies yet another. Then again you you absolutly wreck Dragiostar ect. In short, its a rock paper scissor army.

I think the TH is a nice addition, I ran a list (smaller in size comparison though) heres what I had IIRC.
Belial
squad with pure TH/SS
squad with assault cannon
squad with cyclone missile launcher

I played against IG and smashed them to bits in combat and in shooting I dominated but got bogged down easy.
Maybe include Ravenwing, just for some support, but if you want to go with pure DW then maybe have singular squads dominating in one (e.g. 1 full squad of TS/SS, 1 full squad of PF/SB etc) as it helped and if you deploy right this way smashes everyone.
I heard psychers were awsome now, maybe drop one squad and get a Librarian or Chaplain
But apart from that, nice list man

I agree with balsak, I would drop one TH/SS and the storm bolter/PF and put two pairs of lightning claws in at least 2 squads so you can deal with horde armies. I would also think about finding some points for the apoth upgrade for the squad that will be running with Belial.

Your fire power is pathetic. You will struggle to get your troops into cc. Then in cc you will hit last with relatively few hits.

I have lists like this do well in tournaments in 5th, but mostly by coming up against enemies that happen to badly suited. This is a lot less likely to happen now.
