im making a dual wing list with deathwing and ravenwing. ive come to a road block when i have to choose a leader for my force. do i:

take azrael who unlocks both as troops but theb we get to the problem of where do i put him i was thinking of in a land raider witha no th/ss termie command squad to take full advantage of him

or do i take each wing master respectively and no longer have to worry about the problem of where they go... but costing almost double...

What to do?

It depends on how many squad you're planning to take and at what point value. In the new dex taking Belial, Azzie, or Sammy makes the wings Troops instead of normal codex entry, so in larger games Azzie can run you out of Troops choices.

I prefer Sammy over Big B, but I like the maneuverability of the bike

ill be plying 1500 to 2000 pts games

Are you doing an even split between ravenwing and deathwing or are you leaning toward one or the other? If the latter then take the HQ that gives you most scoring units and leave out the other one. In my view Azrael is most useful when taking a power armour based army but want to include one of each wing type to bolster scoring potential.

i like azrael as it allows you to take a libby for divination. it also costs a lot less.

Beliah is expensive and while he does bring no scatter to the table, not sure he is worth that much. Sammy is a beatstick, but again expensive.

for the moment i have a 6bike mmab and typhoon land speeder and 4 black knights on the ravenwing side and deathwing i have a 10 man termie squad and a command squad, i then have a land raider crusader and a dread. i have the possiblity to take a 10 man tac squad and a 5 man close combat based vet squad, but to be honest i want to stay away for greenwing if possible...

With what you have I'd take Azzie and stick him in the LRC with the command squad. Lots of scoring units and a tank full of all kinds of pain
