twopounder Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I can't put my hand on anything 'official' to say he has served with the DW, but I, like you, think that it would be more than likely. I remember reading something a long time ago that says that the DA actually like sending their marines to the DW as it can give them a wider net listening to rumours of the Fallen... I don't recall them liking it, just turning it to their advantage by sending a member of the deathwing that reports back to the inner circle. The effect is the same as you say though. It gives them official inquisitorial channels to scan for information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother dean Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Having just read "Masters of the Dark Angels"; No, he did not serve in the Deathwatch. That is not to say that some other MotDeathwing hasn't. Sorry to see you go Murdicus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murdicus Posted September 8, 2015 Author Share Posted September 8, 2015 so there has been another stint in hospital and it looks like i have to give up work completely so the force has been stripped down and the ideas have changed completely. going to be keeping my force now and hopefully feel well enough for a game once a month or so but everything needs repainting first. the next question then i guess, seeing as i haven't got my hands on the new codex yet, is what load out do i use? looking through my models i have the deathwing redemtion force and the demi-company minus 1 tactical squad. no grav guns or money to get any. every variation of every character plus some left over so what would you recommend while i save for the codex? I also have enough to make 3 ravenwing battleforces but no flyers of any kind other than sammael in a landspeeder or jetbike both kitbashed as well as land raider crusader and rhino pictures to follow of the challenge ahead (it won't be on an ETL vow due to the health limitations that i will be completing this under) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hidicul Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I've been having pretty good luck with grab bikers and a grab command squad with sacred standard. Other then that I don't have any other grab weapons in my list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epher Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Murdicus, I am sorry to hear that you've been back in the hospital and that you had to give up work but it sounds like you have lots of models to keep you busy. It looks like the best list to build would be a combined arms detachment. It would allow you to use everything that you have, including the land raider. The other option would be to build a Ravenwing Deathwing list using the RWSF and DWSF. So here is a question, do you have two ten man tactical squads? You can break one up into two five man squads. Give one the plasma cannon and the other the plasma gun. You will have to convert one of the marines into a sergeant or you will have to build one. Now you can use the DWRF and allow them to over watch at full ballistic skill! As for grav, there was a thread about alternative models. Bitspudlo seems to have a few for a reasonable cost. But I do not have nay grav in my army yet. For devastators, my 4 man plasma cannon squad has never let me down. I was able to take out a squad of 15 necron warriors with them in one turn (I think the dice gods were gazing upon me with favor). Hope this helps!

Master Sindiferous Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 No grav here either. Might try picking up DV Tac squad or two. Purchase some jump packs to make one assault squad on the cheap. You can also use Plasma cannons from DV tac squads to build a dev squad up as well if you find them for the right price. Either way hope you start feeling better, I can relate to that part also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
