It's not the most mobile force but it's got plenty of dakka. I recently played a game and found the shooty terminators and dark talon to be MVPs. Only had the one darkntalon but think I'll drop my bikers for another. The Primaries are to sit on back field objectives whilst the dark talons go forth clearing chaff and the like. The Deathwing + Belial are great in cover on objectives pumping out shots and very durable considering no one wants to charge them. The DW knights are basically alpha head hunters with the chaplain offering reroll hits and charge (warlord traits), relic might be handy also vs characters. I wish I could have an ancient accompany them and the chaplain but tips the scales for reserve points. I own all bar the aggressors and extra Talon so please lend me thoughts before I take the plunge!

Thanks folks as always

Look ok as deathwing go I would try and add a second cyclone to the deathwing squad but looks good let us know how you get on with it
