Vexicus Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Hail Brothers, So I have finally ordered myself an interrogator chaplin in terminator armor and am going to add him to my assault deathwingsquad already with Belial (with twin LC). In you expereance brothers what do you find more effective when charging with this unit from a LRC, twin LC all round, TH & SS all round or a mix of both? Thank you for your words of wisdom Vex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Captain Sharp Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Mix of both is what I run. The storm shields give you survivability, while the Lightning Claws and the Interrogator-Chaplain's attacks give you the opportunity to kill squads before the power fist in tactical squads get to swing.

Azrael Turnbull Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 And regardless of initiative, Lightning Claws are more likely to kill than Thunder Hammers, taking into account how many attacks each Terminator gets. =) Don't forget to give one of your Assault Deathwing a Cyclone missile launcher; they're always good fun.

shabbadoo Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Thirded. Three with lightning claws, two with thunder hammers & storm shields, Belial, Interrogator-Chaplain, and add the Deathwing Standard for +1 more Attack for *everyone*. Let's see if I can work this out. That's 6 attacks for Belial with LCs, 15 attacks for the 3 DW with LCs, 5 attacks for the Interrogator-Chaplain with crozius, and 6 attacks for the DW with THs; all with re-rolls to hit on the charge and re-rolls to wound with the LCs. Yeah, that ought to kill some stuff. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that ought to kill some stuff. :D When I've run that setup (many times) I think the only thing I've failed to kill in one round is... a unit of Paladins (who died the next round). Though I do run Belial with a storm shield now for added survivability. :) Of course, I actually prefer to be stuck in combat for a round so that I don't get shot, so I actually ended up dropping the Chaplain.

Brother Immolator Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Dunno why but i am a fan of uniformed squads.Must be the fear that GW has instilled in me changing options every edition.... Also i cant decide what to equip the apothecary with.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Komodo Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 My solution -- 2 CL and 3 TH/SS with CML. Even without chaplain, 2 LC reduce a squad to a good minumum. TH then just banish the remaining rest. I used All LC with chappy before the FAQ, pretty deadly indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WatchCaptainAzrael Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Question, when outfitting a BBoD wouldn't it preferable to give them a heavy flamer over a missile launcher as... well, they're not really going to shine in the shooting phase and if all goes well will spend a good portion of the game standing toe-to-toe with the enemy?

Pros and Cons of the HF. + it ignores cover, and usually causes for a higher body count than the CML. - a savvy player will remove all his dead from the front possibly negating a charge.

I'll echo what he just said, I've not used Heavy Flamers in a long time with my Deathwing purely because I'd rather have the AC or CML ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinister Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I run Belial with LC and the rest of his squad with TH+SS and a CML. When I do use an Apothecary or Standard Bearer I still equip them with TH+SS. I prefer to maximize there survivabilty considering the points you spend for them.

Jehoel Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Another point against the Heavy Flamer is that it replaces the Storm Bolter, leaving the Heavy Flamer marine with a Power Fist or Chain Fist in HtH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Kovash Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I've been using my Belial stand-in with TLC, Interrogator-Chaplain, 3 TH/SS plus a CML, 1 TLC, and an Apothecary, with SB/PF. Usually whatever they charge gets taken out in one round. I haven't tried including a banner yet, but once I do I'm pretty sure my friends will hate me.

When I do use an Apothecary or Standard Bearer I still equip them with TH+SS. I prefer to maximize there survivabilty considering the points you spend for them. That's usually how I approach this. I've never added a Chappy though. Belial alone is dishing out 6 attacks on the charge at initiative. Of course I could see another LC in there depending on what you are up against.

WatchCaptainAzrael Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 I believe the LRC's capacity is 16 models. So, it can accommodate 8 termies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did I miss that? :D I'd got it into my head that they only held six terminators. It just leaped to the top of my to-buy list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
