Son of Barbarus Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Hey Guys, I've got 5 Terminators in my Death Guard army and I would like some advice on how to equip them. I was thinking of a lightning claw and combi melta for the champion. A chainfist, power fist and reaper autocannon spread throughout the other terminators. Is this a good selection of weapons. I will be running them in a land raider and there are two obliterators and a lascannon dread in the army. I may even lose the champion and put Typhus with the four in the land raider. Your advice is appreciated. Cheers, Son of Barbarus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaeron Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I think that Typhus is a huge sink, even in a Deathstar-esque unit. You'll want to orientate them for combat, preferably looking at the cheapest upgrades and high striking priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infyrana Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Are Termicide units viable this edition ? 3x Combi-melta with a chainfist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaeron Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Perhaps one of the few viable choices admittedly - but it would not be something I'd regularly entertain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLACK BLΠFLY Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I would go with the power axe as the standard melee weapon - it's AP2 and costs you nothing. Couple that with T5 and they should be survivable. I would also take two power fists on non champion terminators for the high strength killing blows. As far as ranged weapons I am a big fan of the heavy flamer disembarking from a land raider... It will take the smile away from Tau and Eldar. I also like one terminator armed with a pair of lightning claws for the good number of attacks at I4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I cant really fault BBF's suggestions. I like a mix of weaponry. 5 terminators:, 3 axes, 1 fist, 1 claw on the champ. I'd also go with a plasma on the champion, in case of the odd precision shot which may net you a boon. If they're rolling up the field in a raider, their target should already be out of transports, so think about what's in the rest of the army before you spend too many points on combis.

disease Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Personally I would avoid the reaper cannon, and would just take 3-5 meltas or plasmas and axes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trevoroftzeentch Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Power axes and combi plasmas or meltas is what I usually run. I also like the idea of 5 terminators in a land raider with dirge caster w/ 1 heavy flamer and 4 combi flamers hopping out and burning everything but combi plasma or melta usually works best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daboarder Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I run mine two ways, Lord retinue at 6 terminators, MoN, Axe, Bolter. Nice number of bodies that can do waht needs done, will occasionally by them combi-plas then my kill squads are 3 terminators, MoN, Axe, plas. Drop pop kill!

disease Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Being death guard, I generally run mine two ways too. For close combat I'll equip tartaros armour, manreapers and hand flamers and for ranged support it's cataphracti armour and grenade launchers. Oops! That's 30k options!
