I Put Extra Armour on my dread, Forgot to mention that I did! So yes I have 20 points over if I dont put extra armour on my dread.

MasterGideon

ya know, you could use the 5 points to take a chainfist in the terminator squad.

I have gone for a Pintle Storm Bolter on my Crusader, More Guns!

MasterGideon

Mawr Guns!

Now all I need to do is touch up my Deathwing, and make them look half decent, I shall Put some pictures up tomorrow of what the final army will look at! going to need to start putting transferes on all my models, as my army going to need them now!

MasterGideon

Here's the same list, as a Blood Angels list.

+ Captain [160]
- Pair of Lightning Claws, Terminator Armour

+ Terminator Squad [200]
- 5x Terminators (however u want)
- Land Raider [250]

+ Assault Squad [125]
- 5x Marines; 1x Meltagun
- Razorback

+ Assault Squad [125]
- 5x Marines; 1x Meltagun
- Razorback

+ Land Speeder [70]
- HF, MM

+ Land Speeder [70]
- HF, MM

+ Predator [135]
- Auto/las

+ Predator [135]
- Auto/las

+ Dreadnought [115]
- Hv Flamer

Total: 1385

It's better. Superior troops, better terminators (possible furious charge fearless) FAR better preds (they're fast) and you save 115 points.

Just throwing it out there.

You are missing the point:

1) He plays Dark Angels.

2) Blood Angels Terminators cannot claim.

3) 115 points is one unit. A good commander doesn't need one more unit. He needs Stubborn men! Fearless Terminators!

1) You can still play DA, just use the other book.

2) Why would you want a Terminator unit to score? That's such a misuse of everything their given. Why waste all the power weapons and guns by just hanging out on an objective.

3) One unit is HUGE when your have only 10 power-armored guys running around to score with.

I know I can do better lists with other Codexs, but I cant handly playing with Dark Angel Coloured marines and using another dex, feels like im cheating lol!

Thou gotta point out its only a saving of 95 points, your tactical Squads should be 130pts by my maths and if your dread was the same load out as mine (Assault Cannon/Heavy Flmaer) then that be 125pts.

As for the benefits of my army well his is a break down:


Army Wide LD 10 as long as Belial alive
Deathwing Troop Choices with full close assault weapons and a cyclone missile laucher.
Old Version of TH that cause Enemey Models to strike after I1 attacks are made.
Land Raider Crusader with the old PoTMS and Free Multi-Melta
Old rules Smoke that reduced everything to glancing.


On the Charge my Deathwing unit has the following attacks
Belial 6 (3 base + LC + Banner + charging)
Deathwing LC 5 (2 Base + LC + Banner + Charging) x 2
Deathiwing TH/SS 4 (2 base + Banner + Charging) x 3

Thats 16 LC attacks and 12 Thunder Hammer attacks.

Not much is going to stand up agaist that onslaught, plus I tend to try do mutliple assaults with these guy as to cause max damage. I also use my terminators to go after enemey troops holding their own objectives, its an added bonus that there scoring and helps when in the last turn I have a unit that is hard to destroy that can claim objectives.

To win with Dark Angels, I just gotta think straight, I cant win unless I keep my guys together and help support each other, While I might have more men or better wargear if I choose a different marine dex, I still cause some problems with my Dark Angels. I aint going to Throne of Skulls to win (I would like to) but i am just going to cause a headache :D Hell I might get lucky in a few games but there still some teeth left in this codex, and by god im going to show them!

So this Is the final List:

HQ:

Belial w/LC. 130Pts

Dreadnought w/Assault Cannon, Heavy Flamer & Extra Armour. 145 Pts

Deathwing Command Squad (2xLC, 3xTH/SS, 1xCyclone Missile Launcher, Standard Bearer) 260 Pts
