Hey everyone I have a Deathwatch (SW) droppod ally list for my inquisitor army and am scratching my head over how to kit out the droppod with my RunePriest and Wolfguard. (the other two pods are Greyhunters /w banner and melta)

Right now I am considering
Rune priest - TDA - Axe -Living lighting/Jaws
WG - TDA - SS/Mace
WG - TDA - Axe - combie plasma
WG - TDA - wolf claw - combi plasma
WG - TDA - wolf claw - combi plasma

My goal is to keep them as cheap and threatening as possible. Also considering if its worth loosing Jaws for Biomancy powers (smite + w/e beat stick enhancer)

Also would it be fair trade to toss a WG in TDA in one of the greyhunter packs (loosing a meltagun and costing 3 more points for that squad) and take a heavy flamer in the pod containing the rune priest?

I like a Wolf Priest in a pod of 7 combi plasma WG and a RP in a pod with 5 Combi melta WG.

Better off to not have all terminators. You can fit more combi-weapons in that way.

O.k, with that in mind for 6 points more I can run

Rune Priest - TDA - Axe
WG - TDA - SS/Axe
WG - TDA - Maul - heavy flamer
WG- Combie-plasma
WG- Combie-plasma
WG- Combie-plasma
WG- Combie-plasma

would you consider that a greater threat then the first?
4-6 less pw attacks but +1 heavy flamer,1 more combi-plasma and 6-8 more regular attacks.

I am a fan of the power armor with combi guns but would say not throw one in the other pods. I mean, you are already getting free plasma that way. I always do jaws and living lightning, with every once in awhile doing jaws and the attack with the two wolves (cant remember name) both work great and jaws eats riptides.

I like the idea of jaws for anti-MC use.

Back in 5th I would run a pod with 10 PA wolves, all with a special CC weapon and a combi weapon. It was a really fun disruption unit, and caused a lot of pain for quite a few opponents. There were of course the times where they failed though.
