Deathwing terminator loadouts

[Mr Farson]

So I've been buying up terminators for around 6 months now with the vague idea of running a deathwing army when the supplement came out.

 

Now it's out and I have no clue how to arm my squads.

 

What has everyone else gone for in terms of weapon load outs and their role?

[Berzul]

I have a couple of squads that came with the Dark Vengeance set, so those are set at two powerfist+storm bolter, one powerfist+assault cannon, one chainfist+storm bolter, and powersword and storm bolter.

 

I have an additional squad, unpainted, with 5 Storm Shields, and 5 Storm Bolters plus Fists, with 2 Cyclone Missile Launchers on the guys with the Storm Bolters. 

 

I have one squad of 10 Deathwing Knights, as well.

My staple, go-too loadout has always been 10 Terminators; TH & SS on the the Sgt, 7 with SB & PF, 2 with SB, CF & CML.

 

Haven't got around to playing with my Deathwing in 9th, but they tended to perform well in 8th Edition. Given that they can now be Objective Secured, have an additional wound and can't be wounded on less that 4's, I can't see any reason that they wouldn't be even better in 9th Edition

Well it depends!

 

Command squads generally TH/SS as small and there to absorb shots

 

Termie squads- either all dakka and PF with one-two TH/SS or all lightning claws + one TH/SS and add CML as you like

 

If pure walking up the board, 10 man TH/SS squad to take the hits
