| That is a lot of lightning claws. Are you planning on deepstriking them? | |

| yeah, charge the sorc with the bike squad up, teleport them in right ebhind him with the person icon so they dont scatter, move and charge next turn.
i could also just leave them with the basic weapons and shoot when they come in, but wouldnt be as good in cc | |

| Terminators are one of the few units in 40k that can do well being multipurpose. So don't be afraid of mixing combi-bolters/ reaper autocannons and lightning claws.
Might be worth playing with it to see what balance works for you.
List looks ok... Not too sure on the way it would play.
Do you have any overall plan for it? As far as strategy goes?
EDIT: Good job getting it up though, you've taken the first step towards getting the army! Haha | |

Perfection that is.. | |

| Don't listen to Marc (On the numbers anyway, he is right about dropping the dread)
The sacred numbers are dead man, the sacred numbers are dead!
The dread being your only armour, will get ripped apart by AT fire instantly. The enemies AT fire won't have anything else to shoot at (maybe your terms, but they won't be there turn one). | |

| I like this new list alot more.
Still light on the AT firepower, but it has a nice trick it can pull dropping in the two units. Will be interesting to see how it plays out. | |

| Yes, it seems much more balanced than before. Although you do seem to be relying on your fast HQ units to engage a tank or two. Remember, you only get one attack with melta bombs, not your normal number of attacks. If it has been moving fast or is annoying like Tau stuff, even your lords will need 6s to smack it. | |

| Seems to me the lords are being relied more to deliver the terminators.
With most of the AT being provided by the Oblits, the HQ's just offering attack of opportunity. | |

| 2 oblits isn't all that much AT power. And since he has no tanks, much of the AT power the first turn will likely be into the oblits. I'd assume he'd also be interested in using the melta bombs and maybe the fists in the termy squads to beat up armor. | |

| yeah i had 3 obliterators in there but took one out so i could fit in the 2 5-man squads of terminators, but the lord and the sorc both have the meltabombs and the terminators can take out some tanks if they get close, so hopefully that would be enough AT, i tried putting as much in as i could but dont know how i would fit more in.
something i was considering was taking off 1 of the power fists and adding a melta gun to one of the bikes. | |

| Drop..
Terminator Squad-Elites -4 Terminators(2 with power fists) -1 Terminator Champion(Duel Lightning Claws,Icon of Tzeentch)
Add..
Chaos Obliterators-Heavy Support -2 Obliterators
I'd be more at ease with redundant Oblits than Termies. When enemy armour is eliminated you still have Linked Plasma. | |

| I don't mind Marc's suggestion, but your big punch becomes a lot less of a big punch with the # of terminators halved. | |

| Agreed, but he needs to be able to take on multiple threats. Running 3 Oblits in three single "units" would work as well. Maybe squeeze out a biker and some wargear | |
