Take 3 Deathstrike missiles. They're so unreliable you'll need 3.
Take a fast moving assault element and a second wave to follow them (I'm thinking 3 valks with Straken in 1 and carapace vets in the other 2 followed by armored sentinels).

The assualt element hits the enemy on turn 1 or 2 with the goal of holding them until the ICBMs launch. 2nd wave is there to help hold. Then as the enemy punches through the ICBMs hit.

Anyone see any other way for them to work?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239939/713845.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239939/713845.page GMT Tactica Deathstrike? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239939/713864.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239939/713864.page GMT Tactica Deathstrike? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239939/714345.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239939/714345.page GMT Tactica Deathstrike? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239939/714510.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239939/714510.page GMT Tactica Deathstrike? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239939/714592.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239939/714592.page GMT Tactica Deathstrike? IG codex. Extremely unreliable but they have the potential of being incredible or incredibly bad.

I took one in my elysian list (joint elysian ground and air forces) and i've only played 2 games but both times it lived since my opponent would not waste shots trying to shoot it when there were 2 executioners and 2 vendettas on the board. Scattered into my own stuff but then again I was firing danger close.

It's a FUN unit, it's for people who have FUN with casual lists. The number crunching everything must rock power list guys can pass on this one, this is a unit for people who like a little flavor and uncertainty. Just keep it in the back corner and put at least 3 troops squads around it to keep people away.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239939/717297.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239939/717297.page GMT Re:Tactica Deathstrike?
As for a competitive list... I developed something for 3 Manticores, I imagine it would function reasonably well applied to Deathstrikes:

245 - CCS
x - Officer of the Fleet
x - Astropath
x - Master of Ordnance
x - Bodyguards (2)
x - Meltaguns (2)
Chimera
x - Multi-Laser/Heavy Bolter

225 - CCS
x - Officer of the Fleet
x - Master of Ordnance
x - Bodyguards (2)
x - Meltaguns (3)
Chimera
x - Multi-Laser/Heavy Bolter

275 - 1st and 2nd Platoon (1x Headquarters, 3x Infantry Squad)
PCS
x - Grenade Launchers (4)
Infantry Squad
x - Autocannon/Plasma Gun

480 - 3x Deathstrike SRBM

From what I've seen, alot depends on if they hit or not. When they miss its blah, when it hits....its devestating.

I've seen it be a huge disrtaction for the rest of a force.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239939/717391.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239939/717391.page GMT
