I am quite new to this forum as to the whole WH40k. I always wanted to start but didn't manage to do so for a quite some time. Right now I started collecting DA, mainly because of awsome Deathwing Knights(I know that 7ed is mainly shooting), Black Knights and Dark talon(I know it is a medicore flayer).

Right now I have DV set(10 tac squad, 3 bikers, 5 termies, librarian and company master), Chaplain with jump pack and set of Deathwing Knights/Termies/Command squad(I didn't glue it yet). I wanted to expand it a little bit and I thought of Ravenwing Command squad and Assault squad for my chaplain.

Is it a good plan or you think I should buy something else? I am not a competitive player, mostly because I've just started but I don't want my army to be completly uplayable so any advice would be awsome ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/720985/9258872.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/720985/9258872.page GMT
If you're not competitive, buy the models you like. You'll have more fun that way.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/720985/9258923.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/720985/9258923.page GMT ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/720985/9258949.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/720985/9258949.page GMT FOC army.

Either that or find a DA formation you like and build towards completing it.

If you like unbound then just get what peaks your fancy most and go for it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/720985/9259091.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/720985/9259091.page GMT DW's for you.

Competitively, Ravenwing or the Lion's Blade Strike Force with a double demi-company giving you free transports will be the strongest of the 3. Unfortunately DW armies aren't all that competitive. A Lion's Blade/Ravewing mix seems to be doing really well right now to.

My advice, if you know you're going to want to be more competitive later start working towards it now. I originally just bought models I liked and, while I still like them, I never use them and wish I had originally focused on more competitive stuff first. That being said, if you just want to play for fun then buy what you like and don't worry about the rest. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/720985/9259487.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/720985/9259487.page GMT DW very much but it seems like it is not in the meta right now. Maybe the best bet is to wait till 8ed? I had already like 25 minis to paint and I don't have that much time - my speed of painting is about 1 figure per two days(evenings)...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/720985/9261562.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/720985/9261562.page GMT TAC squad, a Ravenwing bike squad box, another Deathwing squad, and a character in terminator armour. This will give you a CAD and the Deathwing redemption force.
Then long term I would suggest getting another TAC squad, a devastation squad, an assault squad, and land speeder or a Darkshroud/Vengeance.
This will then give you a battle Demi-company, a Deathwing redemption force and a Ravenwing attack squadron. These three detachments then can be combined to form a Lion's blue strike force.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/720985/9262798.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/720985/9262798.page GMT
Black Knights are superb. Land Speeders with the Supporting Fire rule are superb. Get a Dark Shroud to buff your bikes jink saves.

Re-rollable jink save units with T5, 3+ armour, twinlinked plasma and hitting hard in cc make for a very strong army.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/720985/9262902.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/720985/9262902.page GMT
