It got tiring packing up 100+ models for every game.Pete Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10662176026555380093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7690045076379408958.post-10431057027634564632011-03-29T15:35:57.257+02:002011-03-29T15:35:57.257+02:00I have had a few games with them now, and they mak...I have had a few games with them now, and they make a change from playing Tau. Games are a whole lot quicker, for one, plus there is this amazing Phase I discovered called the Assault phase, where really cool things happen! ;)Sholtohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13576403929813478210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7690045076379408958.post-71110400373302144782011-03-29T14:56:31.548+02:002011-03-29T14:56:31.548+02:00All good points Sholto and I didn't realise yo...All good points Sholto and I didn't realise you had a Deathwing army as well. I think this army will play out pretty nicely and I'm interested to see how different my tactics will be. Good point about walking the shooty squads. I will think about adding the stormtroopers for objective holding but at the moment I'm planning to use the robed marine bodies that come with the Dark Angel sprue to give me some monk-like tactical marines.<br /><br />Mostly, I'm excited about the modelling options and fun I'll have mixing up the various boxed sets that I have. I'm also trying to get a Logan Grimnir model, partly for the awesome sculpt and partly so I can run my Deathwing as Loganwing (in DW colours) if I feel like having a change.Pete Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10662176026555380093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7690045076379408958.post-42620281260924012292011-03-29T12:09:39.562+02:002011-03-29T12:09:39.562+02:00With 24" guns on the shooty support squads, y...With 24" guns on the shooty support squads, you probably have no need to deep strike them. They can start on the table, even in Dawn of War, move and shoot pretty much anything they need to. That lets you DWA all three of the assault squads, with Belial's one being the main fire magnet.<br /><br />This is very similar to my DW army, although I have far fewer TH/SS. I like a chainfist in each squad, and I generally mix them up a bit more, but this list will really bring the hurt.<br /><br />While the WH codex is still legal, you can always drop the 100pt Tac squad for two 5 man Stormtrooper squads to hold your home objective(s).Sholtohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13576403929813478210noreply@blogger.com
