Rommel44 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Hey mates, with the release of the new DA Codex, the first thing I wanted to check out was the Deathwing Formation and from looking at it, I'm honestly not sure how I feel about it. While it gained a lot and lost some things, overall it still looks like a solid formation but looks could be deceiving lol. Anyways what are your guy's thoughts on the formation? And for our HQ options, does the Interrogator Chaplin sound worth it or would it be best to stick with Belial.

Freman Bloodglaive Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Go as cheap as possible on the HQ. Boys before Toys gives you your best chance when fielding an army that will be small just as a result of high model cost.

shabbadoo Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 If you are going to play less than 1,500 points, what Fremem Bloodglavie said really is the rule to live by. if you play 2,000 points or more, then you can flesh out the HQs a bit. As even the basic troopers in a Deathwing army have weapons capable of killing pretty much anything, you really don't need any sort of uber HQ at any points level though. Go with a cheap Level 1 Librarian in TDA (okay, splurge a litle and give him a combi-plasma, because he can double tap the plasma and still charge :D), and put the rest of your points into all of the other stuff.

Elios Harg Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Plus having combi weapons on characters in TDA gives them something good to twin-link when they Deep Strike. I may actually run a company master or int chap with foe smiter. May be fun.
