Roma Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 I'm starting a new army soon, and deathwing would be good. Main concern is their problem with flyers. I read online about things like fortress of redemption and qud gun lines. What do DW players think of this edition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraithwing Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 New codex is rumoured to be out next month (January). I'd wait till then and ask this question again to be honest. Cheers, WW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roma Posted December 1, 2012 Author Share Posted December 1, 2012 good to her it's so close. A competetive termi army would be great for my wallet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Immolator Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Even with the current codex if you want a terminator only army, the DA dex does it best due to a couple of quirks we play with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Idaho Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Current edition at least, Deathwing have the least to fear from fliers since their massed Storm Shields and Terminater armour means they can survive the high quality fire you can expect from most fliers. So boring to play such an army and it does lead you into situations where you might come up against your nemesis (I.e. Armies which have your number and aren't fussed by your fancy armour).

Darkseer Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Deathwing Tactical Squads are great in 6th edition thanks to their 2+ save and Power Fists. Now Power Weapons are useless against them, they're more versatile and tougher than ever. Really good army which works well as a Phalanx and focusses its firepower on a target at a time until it's destroyed, then picks another target.

Zhent Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Mortis-Pattern dreadnought solves the flier problem very quickly. Mortis-Pattern Contemptor with Dual Kheres and a Cyclone for 230 points solves it even faster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarFromSam Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Mortis-Pattern dreadnought solves the flier problem very quickly. Mortis-Pattern Contemptor with Dual Kheres and a Cyclone for 230 points solves it even faster! This times 2. Recently got 2nd in a tournament playing DW with 2 mort dreads. A different Deathwing army placed first. The question you need to ask should be "Am I worthy enough to play the 1st legion's armored elite. Does my soul pine to take the field alongside the finest warriors of the Imperium? Do I possess the conviction to follow the hunt alongside the Lion where ever it may take me?" or simply "Does this army's aesthetics as well as play style appeal to me?

Captain Idaho Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Probably worth pointing out building a DW army now could result in a models having illegal options due to squad changes etc. Bide your time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother dean Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 I dont think the new codex will change the existing squads much. The rumors seem to say that everything is still in except TH/SS Cyclones... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Immolator Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Curious enough, I am with Idaho into this. Not that it is certain, but sticking to standard load outs (those that wont ever change) is anything I am willing to do every edition regardless.

Brother dean Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Just build and paint your DV Deathwing Squad and we may have an answer by then... (Yes, still looking for mortis arms for myself) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
