Mattias Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I'm not sure I expect it but what I would love to see is Scouts changed to match C:SM in stats and occupying a Troops choice and a new Elite choice brought in of Ravenwing Scouts, an elite scout unit that would illustrate how the Dark Angels actually track down the Fallen (bikes and landspeeders tending to stand out in a crowd).

Or scouts could stay in elites (just as they are now in codex SW) but more integrated into the ravenwing (I think this was FerociousBeasts Idea) as another way the RW scouts and searches for the fallen. Adding scouts like the RW say with a Teleport homer on the sarge for synergy with Deathwing would be cool and very much in line with how covert ops. (they'd need the stealth cloaks and suchs off course) And that "Ravenwing Stormraven" idea really hit some sweet spot didn't it? I look at how people react and I must agree the idea is banging hot! Please GW, feel free to steal/borrow/use that idea as it would be so cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piousservant Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 @Piousservant You expect Matt Ward to write it then? Well I really hope not, but I'm just expecting us to luck out again... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krewl Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 If that happens we will have DEATHwing DEATHtroops with DEATHBolters and DEATHClaws supported by a DEATHdreadnought ... OF DEATH! (See wolves with wolf everything, Bloodangels with blood everything, Grey knights seem to have something similar :wub: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xyon Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I'd love to see Belial with assault cannon/cyclone missile options, or at least some kind of shooting upgrade bigger than a combi-weapon on our terminator armored HQ's, and maybe Belial will be honored with an Iron Halo like all the other company masters :P It would also be nice to see a Terminator Armor option for Azrael, he is after all, the chapter master, the most inner circle of inner circles, the real commander of the deathwing, and all successor deathwings.

DAG42 Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Belial brought up to speed, Iron Halo, sword as relic weapon. Also our company masters need to have a face lift in wargear and stats. But what I'd really like to see is a return of power swords and axe's bonus to strength. I know that's asking to much but to me CC was truly devastating under some of the older rule sets. JMO.
