Hi all

I have been looking at a few different lists recently and have decided to try and ally DW with the new AM.

Put together the below 1500pt list however I'm not sure if I'm correct in thinking that the choices for the AM troops are legal I've not had any experience at playing against or with AM before so please forgive me.

The infantry squads will group into two separate 20 man squads holding objectives at the back.

Questions:

- Do I only need one platoon command squad with this many infantry squads?

- am I correct in thinking I can have a heavy weapons team for each 10 man squad? I.e. Four heavy weapons team in all, two heavy weapons teams in each 20 man squad.

- can the two individual squads each hold an objective?

- I want to include a medi pack with the commissar however can't find the points value. Haven't checked the FAQ though.

Belial: thunder hammer; storm shield. 190

5 Deathwing Terminators: 4× storm bolter; 3× power fist; chainfist; assault cannon. 245
5 Deathwing Terminators: 4× storm bolter; 3× power fist; chainfist; cyclone missile launcher. 250

Land Raider Crusader: multi-melta; Deathwing vehicle. 290

Lord Commissar: carapace armour; The Emperor's Benediction. 75
Primaris Psyker 50

Platoon Command Squad 30
• Infantry Squad: Sergeant; Heavy Weapons Team (autocannon). 60
• Infantry Squad: Sergeant; Heavy Weapons Team (lascannon). 70
• Infantry Squad: Sergeant; Heavy Weapons Team (autocannon). 60
• Infantry Squad: Sergeant; Heavy Weapons Team (lascannon). 70

Aegis Defence Lines: Gun Emplacement with Quad-gun. 100

Again apologies if it's not legal.

Cheers

Your list is legal enough, so no worries there.
My concerns are thus:
With only a single armored unit (land raider) it's as good as slag by turn 2 at the latest. one of the more powerful combos between DA and IG is the azrael blob. How this works: put azrael in with the large blobbed up IG squad to give them a constant 4+ invulnerable save. Thats it! Due to the fact that he's the warlord, he can choose the warlord trait (furious charge is fun!)

My suggestion: lose the land raider, I don't know why its there, TBH, if you're dead set on using belial, use the points gained to do this:
Take your assault cannon squad lose the assault cannon, get 10 more terminators and apply two flamers, and thunder hammer/ storm shields to the rest. Put belial in there and deep strike him in turn 1 right into the enemy lines, really shove that unit down their throat. With the no scatter rule and belial, it will be hard to extricate them, your opponents focus will shift to them. With the points left over you should be able to get a terminator librarian, toss him into that unit with prescience.
