Hello everyone, Getting back into the game, looking to start DA for a more in-your-face style of play to go with my Astra Militarum's backfield firepower. I've come up with the following, but I'm torn on how to spend the remaining 70 pts. The general tactic is speed on the Ravenwing to strike isolated elements of the enemy force pivoting around an anchor of Deathwing holding the center, tarpitting anything big the opponent I'm also trying to keep it reasonably fluffy, with the idea that this is a fallen-hunting force. Ravenwing Outrider Detachment HQ: Capitan on Bike - TH/SS - Reliquary of the Repentant - Warlord: Fury of the Lion - 130 Talonmaster - 160 Elites: Ravenwing Black Knights x5, Corvus Hammer x5 - 225 Fast Attack Bike Squad, 2x chainsword, 2x plasma gun, combi-plasma - 180 Bike Squad, 2x chainsword, 2x plasma gun, combi-plasma - 180 Bike Squad, 2x chainsword, 2x plasma gun, combi-plasma - 180 Land speeder Vengeance - 120 Deathwing Vanguard detachment HQ: Interigator-Chaplain - Jump Pack, catechism of fire - 110 Librarian in terminator armor - 105 Elites: 5x deathwing knights, watcher in the dark - 240 5x SB deathwing terminators - 185 Ravenwing apothicary - chief apothicary, hero of the chapter (selfless healer) - 115

Looking at an ALL Deathwing 2000pt list, not to be super competitive, just for fun (I expect I'll lose a lot!). I've had to spend a LOT of points on upgrading characters to make it 2000pts, but I guess the first company apothecary/champion/ancient would also be the CHAPTER apothecary/champion/ancient, so it's kinda fluffy. List as follows (I'm not sure it's technically legal anymore, does an ancient count as part of the command squad now?). Vanguard Detachment: HQs Captain in Terminator Armour Warlord - Lay low the mighty Combi Melta Relic Blade Key of Achrabael Librarian in Terminator Armour Storm Bolter Chief Librarian Elites Deathwing Apothecary Chief Apothecary Deathwing Ancient Chapter Ancient Pennant of Remembrance Deathwing Champion Chapter Champion Deathwing Command Squad Deathwing Sergeant - TH/SS Deathwing Terminator - TH/SS Deathwing Knights (5) Knight Master 4x Deathwing Knights Watcher in the Dark Deathwing Knights (5) Knight Master 4x Deathwing Knights Watcher in the Dark Deathwing Terminator Squad (10) Combat Squad 1 Deathwing Sergeant - TH/SS 2x Deathwing Terminator - TH/SS 2x Deathwing Terminator - Lightning Claws Combat Squad 2 2x Deathwing Terminator - Cyclone Missile Launcher/Storm Bolter/Power Fist 1x Deathwing Terminator - Storm Bolter/Chainfist 2x Deathwing Terminator - Storm Bolter/Power Fist Deathwing Terminator Squad (5) Deathwing Sergeant - Power Sword/Storm Bolter Deathwing Terminator - Cyclone Missile Launcher/Storm Bolter/Power Fist Deathwing Terminator - Storm Bolter/Chainfist 2x Deathwing Terminator - Storm Bolter/Power Fist Deathwing Terminator Squad (5) Deathwing Sergeant - Power Sword/Storm Bolter Deathwing Terminator - Cyclone Missile Launcher/Storm Bolter/Power Fist Deathwing Terminator - Storm Bolter/Chainfist 2x Deathwing Terminator - Storm Bolter/Power Fist Anyone have any thoughts? I intend to build and paint them all in one giant batch, except for the characters!
