Xenith Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Oyt of those 2, the pod for the furioso adds more. Well, in that it makes the Furioso viable. I guess the Raven does too, but I find pods more disruptive to the opponent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvus_Danseur Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I second more Sternguard, a full squad of ten with some different load-outs gives you lots of fun options. Also if the budget allows- Forgeworld Sicarian tank or Fire Raptor gunship are fun buys that can deal some serious damage if left unmolested!

tsijben Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Drop Pods are always a good choice! But it depends on what you have and what you want! I am personally going to diversify my regular Death Company a bit by making additional weapon-options. One thing I really plan to do is to make some CCW/Pistol-models without jumppacks and even Bolters with jumppacks. Another project is to get FW-stuff, I have a Sicaran incoming and it's really awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-beard Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 i have 20 ASM, furioso libby/dread, 10 DC, rhino, LRC, baal pred, 10 devastators, 5 hammernators, 3 snaguinary priests, lemartes, mephiston, 5 libbys, gabriel seth, sanguinary guard, gonna get space hulk termies this saturday, tac squad and shooty dread. also have freeblade imperial knight gerantius. That doesn't sound like 5000 points worth, is there something you left off the list? Maybe my mental math is just off today. Regardless, I agree a Stormraven and some drop-pods would be good options. I recommend at least three drop pods so that you can have two come in turn one. Here are some other things to consider: 1) Reclusiarch to go with your DC 2) Brother Corbulo 2) Sternguard vets (I think you said you have 5....get more) 3) DC dread w/ blood claws 4) More assault marines (20 is not enough, imo) 5) Some razorbacks and more rhinos 5) Vindicator (fast vindicators are nice....if you go this route, get two as they like to run in pairs) 6) Some of the other unique characters (Dante, Astaroth, Sanguinor, Tycho) On a side note, you may want to hold off on some of these purchases since a new codex is due out soon and some models could be updated, particularly the characters.

Maybe my mental math is just off today. i dont have my army list here, and thats just what i remember off the top of my head, but with equipment etc. it is 5000 points these are all good options you mentioned above, but for me funds are not unlimited (As a 13yr old it is hard to acquire tons of money) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Reading what you have, I would definitely get a drop pod. You can use it with the dread, sternguard and death co, different things in different battles. It will have the biggest impact on how you play your games.
