Lightning Claws

Which would you prefer in a pure assault squad? Would you throw a heavy flamer in there? Just curious...

Storm Bolters and Assault Cannons!

More on topic, does anyone ever reliably actually get their Assault Terminator squads into HTH?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/209719/266899.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/209719/266899.page GMT Terminator Assault Squads
Really, I find the question difficult to answer, as the whole premise of assault Termie squads is flawed. It doesn't matter what your THammers to LC ratio is when you never get to use them. If I had to choose, though, I'd go for three LCs and one TH. The fifth Termie would have a heavy flamer if being delivered by a Land Raider or DSing on to a homer, or an assault cannon if DSing without a homer or starting on the board. The LCs are to rack up the kills against rank-and-file; one TH and one Fist should be enough to ward off nasty MCs and ICs.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/209719/266909.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/209719/266909.page GMT Re:Terminator Assault Squads

landaider crusader +7 assault termis + chappy in termi armor..... super deadly kills just about anything on the charge

personally killed a hive tyrant and carnifex and a squad of warriors in a second round charge

but @ 670+pts i think you would be putting to many termis in one basket...lol]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/209719/266954.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/209719/266954.page GMT Terminator Assault Squads http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/209719/266983.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/209719/266983.page GMT Re:Terminator Assault Squads DA Codex for some painting inspiration and stumbled on a Terminator with Lightning Claws hauling a Cyclone on his back. I'll be tossing one of those on one of the boys as soon as the glue dries, lol. At least they'll be able to soften up whatever they go into combat against and if they never see HtH, at least one of them can shoot.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/209719/267055.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/209719/267055.page GMT Terminator Assault Squads AC?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/209719/267098.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/209719/267098.page GMT Re:Terminator Assault Squads HtH weaponry.

All you need is 1 successful TH attack to get the shake/I1 effect (depending on if you're attacking a vehicle or not). The rest might as well be PF attacks. As for the -1 Inv. save to that single model, it isn't that big a deal compared to the boost you get from an AC compared to an ML.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/209719/267153.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/209719/267153.page GMT Re:Terminator Assault Squads DS or DP to assult combo could work out pretty well.

The Crusader moves them quickly across the field to get to grips with their foe. Should the LRC get popped, they have a Fearless Reclusiarch leading their RZ rolls. In 5th Edition, couple that with the Run rule and they'll be moving 6"+d6"+d6" each turn, assuming you take a casualty each turn. Assuming you've at least moved 12" in the Crusader, and suddenly you've moved 20-20" in two turns (at the cost of one model). Not bad for a footslogging unit.

As for composition, I'll usually take 3 LC Pairs and 4 Thunder Hammers, while the Reclusiarchs are usually packing a Combi-Melta and a Crozius. Having that backup anti-tank shot is really nice when you need it.

In your situation, I'd recommend the Assault Cannon. It'll give your Assault unit the extra firepower needed to make them threatening. Let's face it - Terminators are not that scary out of CC if all they have are Storm Bolters. I'd then say for the remaining 4 to have 3 LC Pairs and a single Thunder Hammer/Storm Shield Combo. The 4 Str8 attacks will do nicely against big stuff, and the 9 Str4 reroll to wound will dice up gribblies and basic units well enough. Hell, even T7 will have to be weary of that many Lightning Claw Attacks (not to mention the Fist and Hammer, of course).

Hope that helps. I'm thinking of doing a Deathwing Army for 5th Edition (with Run making everything move quickly). Let me know how it working out for you.
