No clue why haha. Fucking GK's on the mind atm ;D (another reason why GK's are awesome!) <br /><br />But yeah TH's do make the puppies whimper - its also another reason why LC's are handy - can help put a wound or two on at same init - at least soften them up for the next bunch if they do happen to wipe your squad out on the charge.Bullyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18376322430128578637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1742113396089797587.post-9521300871366906972011-06-21T22:12:35.412+01:002011-06-21T22:12:35.412+01:00How you doubling them out? natural T5...How you doubling them out? natural T5...Venerable Brothernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1742113396089797587.post-42594719667234115062011-06-21T19:48:54.389+01:002011-06-21T19:48:54.389+01:00@crosser modelling - no worries - got plenty more ...@crosser modelling - no worries - got plenty more coming up. A lot of it is an exercise for me as well - as I am writing it even now I realise few other reasons to why I do something, and even spot times where it would be bad etc ... good to have it up in the old noggin ;D<br /><br />@anon would love to see some of the battle reports / more details! I've got a write up coming up about each codex and their threats - you've pretty much named the 3 for the codex's you have. I am assuming that you got lash'd then plasma rapid fired?<br /><br />What was the wolfstar running? Assuming bear lord with either WC or TH then 5 wolfs with a couple of shields and a hammer or something? Harsh as on the charge the can put a lot of wounds/rending in. But you hit the nail on the head - if you have 2 or 3 squads behind they'll smash them next turn (just double out the TWC!).Bullyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18376322430128578637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1742113396089797587.post-33927679976302529482011-06-21T15:50:57.070+01:002011-06-21T15:50:57.070+01:00I played a similar army (2k) in a 60 man tournamen...I played a similar army (2k) in a 60 man tournament but it went bad. Lost 3 games.<br /><br />First was against SWs. A TW squad with Lord charged one terminator squad. Every round I supported them with another squad charging in. Lesson learned: stay together! One big multi assault would have turned the game.<br /><br />2nd games was against 10 hammer termis with nullzone...<br /><br />3rd game was against 2/9 lash oblit spam. Rolled bad and lost 5-10 termis every round...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1742113396089797587.post-15074888466521197292011-06-21T12:22:04.657+01:002011-06-21T12:22:04.657+01:00Thanks for taking to time to write this epic post....Thanks for taking to time to write this epic post.

Harsh on th...Nice swanson, post your list up mate!<br /><br />Harsh on the jaws - thats just unlucky really.<br /><br />Not mentioning the hybrid side of things in this intro as its purely doublewing and concentrating on that. Hybrid will get its own article (though a bit more basic as I don't have nearly as many games with it).<br /><br />Dark Angels speeders cant deepstrike unfortunately for us :(<br /><br />Dreads are good, I really like then - ven upgrade is pretty cheap - 145 and you got a TLAC / DCCW dread (well thats how I like to run em). Have you tried running then with dakka preds? 95 points its quite nifty - 3xdreads and 2xpreds - can use the terms to cover the preds which cover the dreads!<br /><br />I'd use speeders more if they could deepstrike - reserving is fine as they do have that 48" on krak - but not really short of that. But honestly I've always had issues with their survivability - I am quite unlucky with mech (damage chart hates me!) so AV10 for me rarely sticks around, even with cover.Bullyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18376322430128578637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1742113396089797587.post-2702889107036387382011-06-21T05:54:49.968+01:002011-06-21T05:54:49.968+01:00I have been playing Deathwing for a while and love...I have been playing Deathwing for a while and love the new stuff. I took my Deathwing to the ATC and went 5-1. My loss was to a space wolf player who managed to jaws 14 termies in three turns. A couple of units I like that you donor mention are ven dreads and typhoon speeders. Ven dreads make great counter assault units and good tar pit units. The venerable status can keep them up and moving for quite some time. Plus once they contact a unit they are tough to kill. Also a typhoon speeder with Multimelta is only 75 points. They are fast and can also be dee struck in. Just as an aside I did use some regular termies for crowd control. A lot ofttimes they hung in cover r advanced behind the screen of TH & SS termies ( was because I didn't have enough hammer ones done but they actually did quite well)swanson4969https://www.blogger.com/profile/12102138994499485582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1742113396089797587.post-19395490417404344682011-06-20T20:26:19.325+01:002011-06-20T20:26:19.325+01:00Fantastic post, read twice, ordered 17 thunder ham...Fantastic post, read twice, ordered 17 thunder hammers to revamp my own...browsing sexy resin shields...damn you Bull.
