davidmn Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 I do want my guys to have the same breastplates. Do the DC kits assemble in the same way as normal kits? I.e are the torsos two part? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkMark Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Yes they're just like the standard ones. The DC box is choc full of bits, but some of the blood drips are a pain. I resorted to shaving bits off before they broke from handling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidmn Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 Phew! Ok. I've got my 500pt list done. Where do I go for my 1000pt list? I guess making the Assault squads 10 man (7 standard, 2 melta, 1 sergeant) is a good start taking me up to 695 points. I was thinking a Dreadnought. but I'm unsure of what to put on it. Should it be a DC? Twinlinked Lascanons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dallas Drake Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 DC come with Boltguns. I'd be pretty miffed if they didn't come with them! You probably want DC at some point so a few boxes of DC for 'bits' as well as DC models will do you fine, not everything can be used for Tacs/RAS (some stuff has DC crosses on it etc). - Dallas Even so, a ten man tactical box costs less than a 5 man dc squad As a BA player you will want DC at some point so you buy DC, you use the extra bits for your RAS to look mint, hey there are loads left over from your DC as you get loads of bits in that box. I hear that Tactical squads are getting re-released soon, a brand new box! I'd never build a whole Tactical squad from DC boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should it be a DC? Twinlinked Lascanons? If you took a Death Company Squad you could unlock a Death Company Dread. That would probably mean getting a Stormraven at some point. If you want shooty Dreads then I think 2 x Twin-linked Autocannons are great, but AFAIK that means Forgeworld Tl-Autocannon arms. I really rate Sternguard & Vanguards, but they can get pricey fast. Multi-melta Attack Bikes are great too. If in doubt, pick something you think is cool & ask around for best set ups! I'd probably play a bunch of games & then you'll get a feel for what your army needs. - Dallas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dallas Drake Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 When is that box likely to come out? Well it's all still rumours but June next year is a date I keep hearing. 10 months is probably too long to wait though.

Fleet, None Shall Stay My Wrath, Rage so 6 attacks on the charge, Furious Charge. Only down side is AV12 vs. AV13 (Furioso) & you need DC to unlock it. My lists always try to have a DCD.

Grey Knight Purifier Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 When you get to buying models, DO NOT buy the generic Assault Marines or Tactical Marines. Instead, buy Death Company boxes. You get the same amount of dudes, plus way more stuff AND a bunch of Blood Angel bits to make your dudes look awesome instead of boring. You can use the DC kit to make DC (obv), Assault Marines, Tactical Marines, Priests, Librarians, Chaplains, Captains, maybe even some of the special HQs. They're a great kit, and provide everything you need. EDIT: For a 500 Point list, I'd do: Libby with JP and Force Axe = 125 Priest with JP and Power Axe = 90 5 Assault Marines with Meltagun, Power Sword and Infernus Pistol on Sergeant = 140 5 Assault Marines with Meltagun, Power Sword and Infernus Pistol on Sergeant = 140 Total = 495, so some dude gets a meltabomb. One IC goes with each squad. The Sergeant takes challenges, while the ICs wipe out the rest of the squad with their WS5, AP2 weapons. So I'm interested in taking some BA allies, but sadly, this rather nice list includes a Psyker, and as a BT, thats not gonna fly. Do you guys have another HQ who serves the same purpose, but without the pesky psychic powers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
