dark angels army building
« on: March 14, 2013, 01:04:21 PM »
Just finished putting together deathwing knights and I'd like to put them in a land raider, I'd like to use a redeemer with the flame storm cannons but that limits my squad size to 6 terminators. Do you think a land raider crusader and larger squad would be a better choise or do you think 5 knights with a librarian is enough to smack around most other units?

I've been toying around with the same concept and have been leaning towards crusader for the extra bodies. I'm still afraid to do it though sine its a massive amount of points and they're not troops

ha, common thought process. I'm a bit further out on this, but I imagine a cunning use of magnets will allow me to figure out the better way to make this work on the table top.

I'm tempted by the crusader because of the nonsense with the std of dev in the terminator squad, but really like the idea of ramming a land raider spewing flames into the face of the enemy cowered behind cover that's no longer that useful....

Another thought occured, I was going to add a librarian ffor the divination spell to reroll misses, but now that I have re-read the zealot rule, a interrogator chaplain will give the same effect and be better about dishing out the pain himself, any thoughts?
