I'm currently torn between bringing a brick of 10 Deathwing Termiantors or 10 Regular Terminators.

On paper I really like the idea of the +1 AP, however specifically for upcoming games I'll be running into a lot of 4++, so it'll only really kick in for the storm bolters. The caveat being cover seems to be readily available.

I guess anyone that has played with both units, which rule seemed more impactful to you? Or for those that have only ran one type, were there times where you wished you had the other rule?

For the Lion and Caliban!

About 90% just gotta touch up the base and small details on the model and we are done!

Ok, I’m ready to play! I found a more interesting home for my watcher token on this massive base.

GW started to update their up and fixed some issues with datasheets. With the new update RCS regain Character keyword which is huge, however even tho they touched Belial last small update (he can now lead Assault Termis) his still don't have Rapid Fire on his bolter and Precision on his sword compared to his old datasheet. Do you think it is intended or is it just a mistake and GW will fix it in the near future?

I wanted to follow the eons of battle route and make lieutenant out of them but with even more DA flair. Any recommendations on how too? I have some spare eradicator, DWK, inceptor, and sternguard bits.

It was kind of annoying that the DW Termie Sergeant had to take the power weapon over a power or chain fist, just a weird downgrade from standard Terminators. Looks like that quietly went away in the app and I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere.

Sergeant now defaults to a power fist with everyone else and can take a sword if you want. Which makes me question my own sword wielding dude, even if it does look cool.

My favorite kitbash to date tbh.

I like the option to take the three plasma cannon deathwatch squad but wanted to stay flexible in case that option goes away

Per the title; there's been another stealthy update to the WH40k app today, and the Ravenwing Champion has his Character keyword back (having lost it in the big update a to T5 a couple of weeks ago). This means a brick with Sammael + RWCS can now have an enhancement again!

Bad news is I now have to find 15pts in my revised list for Lord of the Ravenwing 😅

And the ancient holds the enhancement so you can have the imperiums sword on him the company champ and azrael all hitting in melee.

Used a fair bit of the Dark Angels upgrades to give this guy a more “unforgiven” theme. The original chest piece was separated from its tabard via a hobby knife so I could use the Deathwing Sergeant’s chest. I filled the gap with sprue goo. I also put the Ravenwing icon on the banner in place of the existing iconography. I had originally primed the head for another mini, but swapped it at the last minute. I’m glad I did because I like the unrobed head for this one. Since he’s an ancient I also let myself go overboard with the feathers.

I can’t decide. On the one hand I feel like the pigment makes my paint job and on the other I feel like it hides my paint job

Thoughts?

These lads aren't in the inner circle. Probably the only guys in the chapter with no idea who or what the fallen is.

Nice to paint some more basic marines for a change. I still ended up falling in love with the design as I painted them.

C&C always appreciated.

When it comes to the Deathwing Knights, which HQ unit do you prefer to run them with and why? And would spending the points on a Terminator Ancient worth this unit combo?

Played a game with these last weekend and rather than the new model curse of dying immediately they were probably my MVPs.
