I have been thinking of running a list taking 6/6 man devastator squads with 3 ML and 3 HB followed up with some Las/Plas, a couple of tornadoes, assault troops to deal with the inherent vulnerability to assault, perhaps a Libby for some fury and a Master to hold them together. I am wondering have others tried this and is this a viable option?

Another idea was to take the trait and fill up the elites with devs and fill heavies with say 3 vindicators or other tanks.Not sure. I have lots of models and I am trying to use what i have to keep playing fresh.

Thanks

I'd go with the second option. 6 Dev squads + Las/Plas will make a very boring game for both sides. 3 Devs in the Elites and A mix of Vindicators and Predators can be pretty interesting and effective though.

I'd like to see the 3 Vindicators, don't see them used too often and in a group of 3 they should last a while.

I personally like new dark angels with the auto-cannon/heavy bolter predators, or heavy bolter/las-cannon squads of devastators seperated into combat squads, a full Raven Wing Squadron, and a Deathwing Squad with 2 flamers, and the Ravenwing & Deathwing Masters.

Now I know that isn't what you were looking at exactly but I think it would be fun to play and damn effective.

Honour your Wargear is my favourite trait. It allows me to have a Dev squad and still keep my HS slots open for tanks. Besides tank hunting missile launchers are as good as lascannon and cost far less.

Not to take this thread OT, but you can't have 2 hvy flamers in a Deathwing squad.  1 hvy weapon only.
