1000pt Death Company List
« on: March 31, 2014, 04:22:44 PM »
Hi All,

So I am toying with a 1000 point death company list for something a bit different. I have 2 lists here, what are your thoughts on them? One a lot better than the other? both rubbish? Help a brother out.
I will be play testing these against my mates Space Wolves (thunder wolves + fenrisian wolves). However if I am happy and find it fun I plan to use it in a local tournament coming up in May, I know its a silly idea but would be a bit of fun!

I think the second list is better. DC get v expensive when upgraded with JP and PW and I tend to keep this to a minimum. I think when you compare the points for an extra body with the points for a PW the extra body wins in my mind so I run more with less upgrades. You need some bodies as cheap as possible to soak up wounds.

Personally I would put ten with BG in a drop pod and just do a DP assault on turn 1. Get out of the drop pod on turn 1 and get 20 BG shots. you can't charge on turn 1, but you can get a turb 2 charge. With a power armour save and FnP they survive pretty well especially as you don't DP assault right in front of a squad that has AP3 weapons (unless you think you can take them out). My opponent usually ends up charging them on theoir turn 1 (as they don't want to be rapid fired and then charged on my turn) with troops that aren't specialised in cc because of where I've put them.
Just because you can, doesn't mean that you should.
