So i was wondering, the problem usually with deathstar units is that they find a way to get killed and then its basically game over... so i was thinking of just creating something with stupid amount of low count models/high yield....perhaps i got inspired by the grey knight rumours floating around....
So far i 've come up with something like this....
For starters i know that noone uses Terminators in BA lists these days but bear with me.
2 Storm Raven
8 Lightning Claw Terminators/2 Storm Shield Terminators
2 Librarians with Shield and Rage
2 Blood Priests ( Perhaps 1 of them Corbulo to make sure my storm ravens arrive on time)
2 Furioso Dreadnoughts (Was thinking assaulty but could also go for ranged or libbys)
2 x 10 Assault troops (who split into 4 x 5 if we 're not playing kill points)
Basically how i was thinking it was kinda, wait 2 turns, deep strike em, kill couple of mech with meltas and lasscannons
then just unleash hell on the next turn.....basically its two deathstar units with some added support.
The terminators get furious charge so they strike at str. 5. They reroll hits and wounds. Could also go with rage/blood lance and if i play with libby
dreads also put something like that on them so i drop and do 4 blood lances to crush parking lots......the troops are usually 4 x 5 and i ll try to get them
last turn to contest/claim objectives.
Any general idea to create tactics revolving solely around DS units? Not just 1/3d of the list lets say but just go all out except troops?
