I'd go with an LRC over the Redeemer for salvo 4; though Redeemers are fun and we've had arguments in other threads you and I about DA being 'just for fun' anyway
Be sure to keep those knights nut to butt to ensure you're always benefitting from T5.

Rule #1 is Look Cool. |

From my experience using DW (and mostly from fighting against them), I think that Cyclone ML's are better for 5man DW units. Of course, YMMV.
To me, the option to split fire krak at a vehicle while shooting the storm bolters at light infantry is valuable. Alternatively, 2 frag missiles can do just as well as a single PC shot, even against enemy terminators provided they are tightly packed.
(lol nut-to-butt? you must speak usmc)

thats the idea, will prob drop them behind enemy lines with belial and another DW squad T2. at that point rush the lib up to snuggle in for T6  Don't have any salvo here, just a FnP 12" bubble lol.

odd, I hesitated to take the CML as, I have always gotten better results from the PC and (more often than not) AC, as the AC can pen AV14 IIRC.

No salvo, duh, you took fortitude. I'd do the same thing with DW.
And yes, I do speak the language; just got out; although different branch.

I've seen a few guys do quite well with the PC, but for the most part I'm always impressed with the CML.
(Yeah, Shrike. Enjoy the civilian life- enjoy the GI Bill)
