Slyfox1990 Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Hey all, I've been playing 40k on and off for about 10 years now and during that time have almost exclusively used marine based armies - be they Codex, BA, BT, SW or otherwise. However during that time I have never used bikes, rarely used terminators and never used veterans in any of my lists. As a result of this I decided to start Deathwing for some terminator based fun. Add in some speeders and soon bikes and that's another base covered. All that's left now is vets! I like the look of DA vets in terms of models - cloaks, hood etc - they look superb. I'm not sure how good they really are though. What I'm wondering is - could they be used along side death and raven wing units easily, and if not how do people run them? I'd like to do so in some fashion if possible just for fun :tu: Cheers for the help Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/233822-veteransdeathwingravenwing/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaplain Lucifer Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Well, they could be used along DW and RW, preferably in a rhino. you can either use them in a CC role to support RW units or you can use them in a shooting role if you have a more CC oriented aproach to DW or even a mixed shooting/CC role to keep options open. IMHO the best way is you proxy them for a few games and see how they fit in your playstyle Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/233822-veteransdeathwingravenwing/#findComment-2814980 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slyfox1990 Posted July 11, 2011 Author Share Posted July 11, 2011 Proxy is a fair idea although I have to say it's something I try to avoid where possible. I've only just started with my DW/RW lists so they are very much a work in progress at the moment! However I am planning to use both components - Speeders and Terminators (@750pts) - to soften up opponents before using the terminators to finish them off in CC. Hence I am using Typhoons and Terminators with CML, TH/SS, LC and SB/PF combos. I was thinking of adding 6 bikes and another DW squad at 1000points - using bikes and scouts to DW Assault and then use the same tactic. When moving up to say 1500 points I was wondering if I could fit in some vets but tbh I can't see how they would fit.

Brother Kovash Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I've only used Vets a few times, since I haven't really finished painting up my Deathwing yet. Each time I put a 5-man squad in a Drop Pod and equipped them with some form of combi-weapon, either flamers or melta guns. I would love to build up a 10-man squad all with power weapons, but it will be some time until I reach that point.
