This weekend I've decided to go to a 6th edition tournament being held in a town about an hour away. Haven't played much 6th edition yet but from what I have played, the Deathwing are pretty darn strong. No need to fear power weapons anymore, land raiders are resilient enough to deliver cargo and typhoon speeders went from awesome to something better than awesome.
Anyways, the tournament is 1500 points and I've decided to take the following list
Belial - Claws
Deathwing Squad 1 - Apothecary, 3 TH & SS, Heavy Flamer
Deathwing Squad 2 - 1 TH & SS, 1 Chainfist, 1 Pair of Lightning Claws, Cyclone
Deathwing Squad 3 - 1 TH & SS, 1 Chainfist, Cyclone
Deathwing Squad 4 - 1 TH & SS, 1 Chainfist, Cyclone
Land Raider Crusader
Ravenwing Typhoon Speeder
Ravenwing Typhoon Speeder
Went with 4 squads this time rather than 3 as I found 3 scoring units was not enough for objective based missions in the last 1500pt tournament. Mind you the only army that gave me trouble last time was a Grey Knight army that got into close combat. That same army wouldn't hurt so much as their nemesis weapons aren't AP2.
Maybe I should drop one of my Deathwing squads for another land raider? Two squads in raiders and 1 squad using Deathwing Assault could make for some nifty rapid deployment strategies. Super easy to pack as well. Although there is a really good player attending with Necrons so vehicles won't be that great against him (and who knows how many other Necron players might be present). Still, having to deal with 20 scoring terminators will be tough for any army to deal with at 1500 points.
