Let me know what you guys think.

Explain how Belial gets sword and Shield
pg 92, Replace storm bolter and Sword of Silence with TH & SS ... Free

Since he has an iron halo, I don't see the TH/SS as required. Add to that his 5+ precision shots and an above average sword, and you have a very good package.

Was a mistake, bro. I meant Sword and Storm Bolter.

Going for competitive or just for funs? Competitive-wise you’re going to have a lot of trouble with what is essentially just 2 troop selections. Sure you can combat squad the Ravenwing and the attack bike has to be detached, but you’re still looking at 2 units of 3 bikes, 5 termies and a single attack bike to hold objectives with. Even with T5, 3 bikes won’t hold together under any decent firepower.

My suggestion is to get more bodies on the field. Black Knights seem good until you look at their points costs, could be better off as troop selections.

The LSV is so horrible bad that its not even funny. 140pts for a LS platform that has the fire power of 1.5 PGs or a single large blast at 24" range? If you go competitive there is 0 room for them.

Why not take Azreal? He is better than Belial and makes both DW and RW troops.

Azrael does seem better for the double wing approach, You have good, but expensive units, getting two expensive HQ doesnt really help.

Belial's sword still seems meh, precise shot with a Storm Bolter seems situational at best. LCs for MEQ and lighter killing and TH/SS for better save and vehicle killing still seems better.

And since you are paying premium to get these DW and RW squads to be troops, run more than 1 squad of each.

Deathwing Knights and Black Knights arent really needed, since you can get plenty out of the normal version of them that counts as scoring for you.

Nephilim unfortunately is kinda bad for its cost, I think they had trouble figuring out if it should be hunting flyers or ground attack when they design it. Land Speeder Typhoons probably does its job better honestly.

Vengeance with Assault Cannon would atleast pack some punch to justify it, though it is fragile for something so expensive, especially without a Darkshroud.

Darkshroud would be good if you run more bikes (better cover when they turbo boost or have some cover in front of them) and obviously if you want to have more landspeeders.

Predators and Vindicators probably wont be too bad either.

Finally, get an Aegis Line with Quad Gun, because despite its name and fluff, Nephilims arent good at killing flyers.
