What units do you feel must be in a Deathskull army? Mine are Lootas, Boyz & Grotz. I also own some looted Meganobz and a looted Dread. Any others you feel really fit the background and must be in there?

"But me no buts! Our comrades get hurt. Our friends die. Falkenburg is a knight who swore an oath to serve the church and to defend the weak. He'd be the first to tell you to stop puling and start planning. Because what we are doing-at risk to ourselves-is what we have sworn to do. The West relies on us. It is a risk we take with pride. It is an oath we honour. Even when some soft southern burgher mutters about us, we know the reason he sleeps soft and comfortable, why his wife is able to complain about the price of cabbages as her most serious problem and why his children dare to throw dung and yell "Knot" when we pass. It's because we are what we are. For all our faults we stand for law and light.

Depends... but it seems like Lootas and Looted Wagons are a no brainer. Other than that just about any unit *can* fit if you do it right. Give the Stormboyz Marine jump packs and they're looted Rokkit packs. Give the Ard Boyz Marine shoulder guards and shin guards and their Looted armor, etc. I have a Looted Land Raider for my Battlewagon and half my Warbosses bike is from a Chaos Marine bike.

A very good way to go with the Deathskull theme is to actually loot all the characters in your army. Coordinate raids on GWs across the continent. You'll have enough Boyz to play mega-sized apocalypse in no time.

But as the Green Git said, Lootas and Looted Wagons are a no-brainer.

Deathskulls are really heavily based around the modeling.
Battlewagons (leman russ, land raider), Looted Wagons, Lootas, 'Ard Boys (looted armor), Grots, etc.
Just about anything works if it's modeled right. And don't forget lucky tattoos!

The Emperor doesn't seem to do much for you but you sure are expected to be mutilated, suffer, and die to make him happy. And is he dead or what? If he's entombed that would mean he's dead as a doornail, right? So, how can he be happy about anything you do, or even give orders to anyone? Are you worshipping the dead now? Is that something you'd really want to do? Because it sounds freaking creepy to me.

I like to include barna boys too, as I imagine them using their blow torches to 'cut out and keep' all the goodies left around after the battle.
