So, my local GW is currently having it's own 40K Narrative Campaign written by the manager to help get more people in the store and playing. Started at 500 points, then 750 points, now it's at 1000 points and he's also authorized MCs at 1000 points. You can join at anytime, and I'd like to run my DAs if I can (they haven't seen action in a good long time). Do the DAs have anything that can really stand up to MCs (and especially flying MCs) besides maybe a Mark V Mortis Pattern Dreadnaught, Whirlwind, a Hammer of Caliban formation, or maybe a Devestator Squad armed with Flakk Missiles? And if that is all we have, is there anything you'd especially recommend?

Thanks in advance

SG

Do people just not play DA anymore? If I had posted this a year ago, it would have already had several responses.

ive been painting the vets and command squad of Compnay 5 tonight.. and your in general discussion not listbuilding.

Hammer would work if you have the vindi's for it, but adding the hammer would need a demi co, so you may be kinda very tight point wise

Also the flyers formation if you have the three of them is another option that could be kinda fun.

Really you could bring a few support squadrons with Typhoons and a Vengance and just melt MCs

SPAM fliers like the floor is hot lava and you are done. This will kill most monsters and most fliers.

I'll suggest Nephilim Jetfighters, Devastators with flakk missiles, lascannon razorbacks with minimum 5-man tactical squad with lascannon and land speeders (tornado, typhoon + Sammael). Those are able to bring down monsters. My Sammael took down Daemon Prince in a one round of shooting, though it was gliding. And fortifications can do the trick too (icarus lascannon, firestorm redoubt). If there is allied forces allowed, you could bring couple of Astra Militarum Hydras.
