We know in 5th TH/SS were the way forward, but with the new 5pt price on TH/SS and new Vengeful Strike rule and split fire has me wondering about the best loadouts for the terminators and also Belial.

Personally i'm leaning towards normal terminators as missing out on twin-linked seems a shame, overwatchis handy and the SB helps thin out hordes. Marines are easily killed by powerfists but its the lack of attacks to kill massed infantry i'm worried about. Should i dismiss Lightning Claws?
I definitely think the TH/SS upgrade to the sergeant is worth it for challenges.
I'm thinking. TH/SS sergeant. 1 PF/SB/Cyclone. 1 CF/SB. 2 PF/SB

As for Belial i think his standard set-up is pretty good, as i don't think sacrificing his I5 and his BS5 bolter is worth it.

Combat support units? i think a small unit of deathwing knights can work, but a unit of TH/SS or LC with a cyclone and one SB/PF, so i can fire the cyclone at a vehicle but split fire a SB still allowing me the charge seems pretty nifty.

Anyone got any experience/ tips/ advice on deathwing? much appreciated.
