I have been playing pure Deathwing for a long time, but since the DA FAQ came out in January I have branched out a bit to include some Ravenwing and DA heavy support. I have three lists that I am trying to decide between. They are all pretty similar, with the major differences being with or without the librarian. Unfortunately, DA libbys are only leadership 9, but they have unlimited range on their force hood, so they can sit back with a shooty unit and use their hood. This is NOVA and I think force hood defense will be important (and people always forget my unlimited range).
Here are my options, thoughts are welcome:
List #1
Belial TH/SS
Libby (Terminator)
DW squad - 5 TH/SS, CML, Apothecary
2 x DW squad - 5 TH/SS, CML
2 x DW squad - 2 TH/SS, CML, 3 SB
Bikes (3)- 1 Melta
Attack bike - MM
Land Speeder Typhoon - MM
2 x AutoLas Preds
List #2
Belial TH/SS
DW squad - 5 TH/SS, CML, Apothecary
2 x DW squad - 5 TH/SS, CML
2 x DW squad - 2 TH/SS, CML, 3 SB
2 x Bikes (3)- 2 Melta
Attack bike - MM
Land Speeder Typhoon - MM
2 x AutoLas Preds
List #3
Belial TH/SS
DW squad - 5 TH/SS, Apothecary
2 x DW squad - 5 TH/SS, CML
3 x DW squad - 2 TH/SS, CML, 3 SB
Bikes (3)- 2 Melta
Attack bike - MM
2 x AutoLas Preds
Now, with NOVA only 22 days away, I decided to take an inventory of what I still need to paint. And here it is, along with one of my "finished" terminators with a scratch built storm shield:
Close up of the storm shield:
That's 14 TH/SS that need to be painted (including 3 that need to be built). This may not sound like much, but with Forgeworld shoulder pads there is a lot of details to do. Also, 2 Predators, a land speeder, and an attack bike that need to be painted. All of my terminators and arms are magnetized, so once these are painted, they will just pop on. I am going to be cutting it close though, especially since I just started a summer semester at grad school. Doh!
