Emperor's Instrument Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 After reading the new codex when it first came out all I could see was an army of DC. Finally, after work taking me to far flung places to try and keep the peace in the 'real world', my plan has swung into action. The 1500 point list will be as follows; Astorath the Grim 220 3x 8-man squads of DC each with a power fist (One squad will have bolters) 1x DC Dreadnought 3x Stormraven Gunships (All plasma and melta) Progress so far...... Dreadnought http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k193/lynx420_2006/th_20110225_7.jpg First squad http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k193/lynx420_2006/th_20110225_6.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven1 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Nice models I like them a lot. I haven't seen an all death company army list before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanguinarian Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 DC is what attracted me to BA way back in 3rd Edition. My ALL-DC list looks similar except I have one of every transport dedicated to my DC (Drop Pod, Rhino, LRR and Stormraven), plus Astorath, Psycho, Lemartes, Chaplain, 3x8 DC (PS, PF, TH, Pp), 2x DC Dreads and 2 Baal Preds (red 'cause they go fasta!!!)

The Yncarne Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I play all DC in apocalypse, but have no idea how your army would fare at that point level. However, it does look like a lot of fun to play and relatively quickly to get on the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vharing Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I plan on doing one SR black with red Xs. Set that down on he table with 2 more and I bed your opponent will shoot at the black one more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it does look like a lot of fun to play and relatively quickly to get on the table. This is definitely part of the reasoning behind the initial list I've drawn up. The guys in my local area are now expanding standard games from 1500 to 2K so I think it gives a nice foundation to build on. Black Gunships? Everything black my friend, everything. In the future I might build a similar sized Sang Guard list and join them together for some black and gold love but for now it's just La Muerte Negro.

Grizzly Adams Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Love DC, run em in every list. Your DC look great, really like the white accents. The SR's make all DC alot more viable and controllable. Let us know how it performs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother_Mike Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 It seems fun, but if you don't table him by the end of the game, your probably going to be drawing a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astorath the Grim Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 It seems fun, but if you don't table him by the end of the game, your probably going to be drawing a lot. Eh? So? Winning the game isn't always important. I've had games where I have crushed my opponent and it was absolutely no fun what so ever...and I have had games where I've been tabled but it was the funnest game I've ever played. Sometimes the battle is far more important then the end result. I'm a huge fan of the DC army, so far I've only proxied it in a few games, at some point I intend to finish this one off! And I love yer painting! Great work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tabgoi Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I have plans that involve 3 SRs with assault cannons, multimeltas, extra armor, and hurricane bolters. Three Death Company Dreadnaughts, Astorath the Grim, two ten man DC units with a thunder hammer and power weapon, bolters all around, and a 5 man DC with jump packs that will ride around with Astorath. I figure it will come down to what happens their first round of shooting against them after the deep strike. Either total win for me, or me getting totally crushed. Either way it should be a ton of fun. Obviously its not meant to be a competative list, just fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor's Instrument Posted August 29, 2011 Author Share Posted August 29, 2011 After a long absence from the UK due to work and therefore a severe lack of productivity on my 100% DC army I have a quick update. Storm Raven No.1 http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k193/lynx420_2006/th_IMG_0311.jpg Hopefully within the next day or so I'll be able to upload the second Storm Raven.

Taranis Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 It looks great! Good to hear you're back. Army business I presume? Looking forward to the first of the red one's. Red goes faster, right? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Youre missing Lemartes :) Seriously, he is a monster, I would start with: Astorath + DC + Dread in stormraven Lemartes + DC + Dread in Stormraven And then see what else you have points for.

Emperor's Instrument Posted August 30, 2011 Author Share Posted August 30, 2011 @Taranis, thanks for the welcome back. Navy business actually, chasing pirates. There won't be any red ones to look forward to unfortunately, I like to give off the vibe that there are specific assets available for when sane marines go loco. @Xenith, Lemmy will get his place in there eventually. As games in my local area seem to be expanding to 2k as standard this 1.5k is the bedrock. Two more dreads and Lemmy to come in due course my friend ;) Without further ado, here is a pic of the second Stormraven. http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k193/lynx420_2006/th_IMG_0388.jpg Two's company, three is going to be a party :) http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k193/lynx420_2006/th_IMG_0386.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darth_giles Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Y'know, there was a 3rd Edition Chapter Approved list for a full Death Company army designed to simulate the obliteration of Tycho and the 3rd Company at Tempestora Hive. The fluff actually went into Tycho's visions at his death, and he was able to play out the Horus Heresy very different from how it really happened, whacking Horus (it was a 'huge warboss' or something, hinted that it might be Gazza) and all that.
