Deathwing 1850

[zoat]

Hi everybody! I finally decided to join the Space Marine-chapter of my friends, the Black Paladins. It has its origins in the Black Templar-Crusades but we decided that we can choose any Marine-codex we like to play them.
So I want to try a Deathwing-List:

HQ:
Belial (Sword of Silence)
Librarian (TDA, Power Axe, Auspex)
Techmarine (Power Field)

Elite:
Venerable Dreadnought (2x TL Autocannon, Extra Armor)
Venerable Dreadnought (2x TL Autocannon, Extra Armor)

Troops:
10 Deathwing Terminators (2 Assault Cannons, 4 Chainfists)
7 Deathwing Terminators (All Thunderhammers + Stormshields, 1 Cyclone Missile Launcher)

HS:
Landraider Crusader (Deathwing-Vehicle, Multimelter, Extra Armor)
______
1850

Belial and Librarian (with Prophecy-Primaris-Power) join the 10 man-squad and deepstrike without scatter round 1, killing up to 2 units with twin-linked split-fire (8 Assault cannon-, 20 Stormbolter-shots). Techmarine joins the 7 man-squad in the Landraider, granting everything within 3" of the LRC 4++. The Dreds are ranged Antitank and Anti-air and will walk along with the power field until the Terminators can disembark and charge something in their way.
Very few units, but they're tough as hell.
I'll have to play some games to get used to it but I think it will be more or less succesful.

Can the Venerable Dreadnaught missile launchers fire flakk missles?

Ah, I just realized it's just the tactical squad that can buy the flak-upgrade. So they're actually pointless on the dreads, I'll change them for 2 TL autocannons then.

...terminators are a troop choice? since when? or is this a codex specific unit like assault marines for blood angels?

If i recall...Belial makes termies a troop option for the Dark Angels.

Yup, Belial makes terminators (just the elite ones) troops, Sammael makes the basic ravenwing bikes troops, and if you want to go for broke with an expensive dude get Azreal who makes bikes and terminators troops

[zoat]

Thats exactly whats so special about Dark Angels^^ Terminators as troops with Belial (Deathwing), Bikes as troops with Sammael (Ravenwing) or Azrael for both (Doublewing). I want to test some units of the DA codex with my and my friends space marines as soon as possible, but first there is a huge apocalypse battle next weekend (6000 points nids and a hierophant, woohoo!).

ive been a long time DA player, unfortunately i have fell out with the new book, however i hope you have fun with them. i tried loads of different builds but none ever worked so well as a full DWT list. the list you have posted is not going to win many games, im sorry to say. you only have two scoring units, they will have their work cut out. i have used the power field with LR and its the longest i have ever had a vehicle in play, lot of points but if you want survivable LR this does work. if you want anti flyer then just take a dev sqd with flack missiles. if you have more termies use them, if not use marines, you will need troops for objectives.

thats cool! not familiar w da.

I would drop the LR, no chain fists and the extra armor on the dreads. Turn the other terminator squad to standard fist / storm bolter. I would also take cyclone ML over assault cannons. I would then take 3 bikes for the locator beacon. Sam (shooty version) and command squad with banner of devastation. Scout with the bikes, then first turn Sam and gang come in where ever you want them, your terminators dont scatter because of the beacon, and all of a sudden your storm bolters are extra scary and your bikes are actually good as a fire base.
