Even normal terminators have gotten better, with so few close combat attacks haveing AP 2, having them equiped with power fists is not as terrible anymore now they get to strike back rather than being killed by power weapons before ever attacking.

It seems like I need to stock 3ish boxes of Assault Terminators and a variety of bikes.  I've heard several people mention them recently.

As far as power armor armies are concerned, is this accurate?
Yeah. And I wouldn't worry too much about vehicles anymore. Flyers, yes. Tanks, not so much. Seems to be where the meta is headed.

I had a small Death Wing Army but it got messy and I got rid of it. Now that termies can kick ass again I kinda want to re-visit death wing once im moved into my condo and can afford such luxaries.

This edition is so much fun. I got another game in today and allies have saved my Thousand Sons from being boring! Allying with a bunch of Tzeentch daemons or my traitor guard is a blast. I'm even looking to hire some Blood Axe mercenaries...

6th is playing really for me too, of course I now have to look to other armies for some flyers for my Templars, but that's not too bad for now.

I'll be testing my Dark Angels soon too, Termies + bikes, in one army ;) could be entertaining.


Eitherway, the possibilities in this edition are amazing and I love it. Bring on the legitimization of FW lists in the community as a whole!

Cheers,
Alan

Solo Orks have been ok, and well the DakkaJet rules...

Thinking some Necron allies with the ability to have night fighting last much longer would be a good mix.

But I think my Ravenwing army is going to be alot of fun...

Even though my captain lost in rather epic fashion, I'm a big fan of challenges -- and this edition.

Also, Storm Talons are definitely worth it.
