ThegrayBush13 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Hello Battle Brothers, I am in need of some help from some of the crazier vets out there. Ever since I started playing BA I've always wanted to play a full Death Company army, but never did for a few reasons. The most obvious one being, its not very smart. :) Being that I would more then likely lose any objective game, and almost ALWAYS being out numbered, and little fire support unless bringing land raiders, heavy dreads and/or Storm Ravens(which i already play most games with 2 SR). But the more i play with my DC the more I want to make a full army of these blood crazy meat grinders. I love the models, i love the fluff and cheese, and i love the way they destroy almost anything they touch(besides GK halberd armies >:I ). So im calling out to those crazier BA vets who have actually done this for some help. How did it turn out for you, was it mainly for fun, or could you find yourself actually being some what competitive depending on the list? Any advice and tips would be awesome. Happy wargaming!!

Murcielago Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Ummmmm...well, seeing as how I only played Angels for a short little bit, I can TRY to give you my words of wisdom. Much like you, I love the brothers in black. The simple ideal of an entire army going to their deaths, KNOWING that this is their last battle is simply amazing :P But moving on...The way that I ran them was highly aggressive. Don't use alot of points giving them jump packs because your army will be tiny as can be...Instead, get groups of them into drop pods along with DC dreadnoughts in pods. I swear by the look on your opponent's face when you throw a bunch of black drop pods down onto their heads, that it is truly glorious and makes opponent's plans go to shreds Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/251553-the-black-rage-consuming-me/#findComment-3050021 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 i love the way they destroy almost anything they touch(besides GK halberd armies >:I ). Lemartes is your solution. I would include a single unit of outflanking scouts (sent to ensure that every DB brother dies after annihilating the enemy, so they do not run rampant through their allies) to take an objective at the end game. Then get the requisite Astorath for multiple DC units, then ram dhem down your opponent's throat in a manner of your choosing.

Taz Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Also DC Dreadnaughts. Because DC Dreadnaughts. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/251553-the-black-rage-consuming-me/#findComment-3050998 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morticon Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Id consider 10jumpy assault marines with Astorath just because you can and it may help. The rest razors and rhinos with DC - maybe even a raven with a DC dread or furioso so somethin. Id consider something along the lines of-> Astorath 10 RAS -2MG, PF 8 DC- PF Rhino 8 DC - PF Rhino 6 DC - 2PW Razor - TLLC 6 DC - 2PW Razor - TLLC DC DREAD - talons Raven- EA Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/251553-the-black-rage-consuming-me/#findComment-3051268 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 That list might do well for an extra chaplain. While there's something to be said for RAS with rerolls, the double rerolls for DC is half their deliciousness.

Murcielago Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I have to agree with Raz, death company do amazing with double rerolls...the only problem is the price. So I'd say that you should only use assault marines as a poorman's choice, but if you can, use some Death Company :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/251553-the-black-rage-consuming-me/#findComment-3052023 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Blayse Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 4x8 death company all 1TH 2PW 2 IPlemartes astorath chaplain DC dread all droppod Your a little short on number of DC to run double infernus pistols. Lemartes counts as one extra member, but the others do not. IP is 1 per 5 DC. Otherwise not bad, I don't think lemartes can go in a drop pod either. Since you can not remove his Jump pack and you can't put a squad with JP's in a drop pod.

spartan II Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 to bad for the not in drop pods i'll have to find something then for these guy's and adjust the pistols maybe take an extra chappy and drop lemartes and trow in another dc dread with the added points in a pod btw anybody any idea if this could work???? (i mean the list here xp) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/251553-the-black-rage-consuming-me/#findComment-3052968 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Well Astorath can't pod either, and Lemmy's only 25 pts more than a chaplain with a pack and his Init is better. It might do to invest in jump packs, at least for one squad. Either that or storm ravens.
