Coop_DH Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Ok i got 2 termy squads, one shooty and one assault and i was thinking of taking the 5 thunderhammers and lightning claws and making 2 close combat squads and maybe giving each one an assault cannon... i guess my question is how to arm the 2 squads? should i just do 2 lightning claws, 2 thunder hammers, and an assault cannon or would some other design would be? now mind you i do run dark angels so i hear there is a difference in some of the rules thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gornall Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 No ranged weapons on Assault Termies... I wouldn't go with more than 1 LC claw for every 4 TH/SS Termy. The invulnerable saves are just too awesome. However, LC termies do rock against things with I3 or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vissah Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Take the five TH/SS ones mate they will get the job done. I use a squad of five and I throw them against everything they see, they take out infantry as easy as tanks and MC's :P And they save is just to much to pass mate ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyescrossed Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 The invulnerable saves are just too awesome. Dark Angels only get a 4++ in CC, rather than the 3++ all the time, you know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hfran Morkai Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 And if Coop's playing DA he can put a heavy weapon in a close combat squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkGuard Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Yup, Dark Angels have the lovely ability to mix and match Terminator equipment. I had some success in using 4 Lightning Claws and 1 Assault Cannon when I used to play Dark Angels, as they were able to deepstrike, shoot all right and deal with most things. I'm not a fan of thunder hammer and storm shield termies in the Dark Angels codex due to having a worse save. I would recommend a look at the cyclone missile launcher though if you want a dedicated combat squad. You could have a unit of 5 lightning claws terminators and a cyclone missile launcher as it doesn't replace a storm bolter, its a just an add on. Gives you some long range anti light armour capability, although a Dreadnought would still walk all over you. Plus, IMO the model for that is cool.

foster Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I would think a Chainfist in the squad would do nicely for sweet 2d6 armour penetration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop_DH Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 well from what im getting out of this, does it sound like a decent idea to have 1 squad be 3 LC, assault cannon and chain fist, and a TH/SS so i got a good fast power weapon hit and then some power to back it up against armor?

Grey Mage Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Id say youll want 1 TH+SS in each, a heavy weapon in each... and the other three a personal preference. Unless you run alot of ruins in your fights Id steer clear of the Heavy Flamer option and go with AC or CML. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gornall Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Doh... completely missed the fact that he was playing DA. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
