Well. Norto got diceraped again. Especially in turn 3 when his terminators failed to activate. Other than that i had some rally lucky armour rolls in every engagement.

The unit with 2 terminators, 2 veterans and 3 corvus black stars are very potent! you get 4 attacks on 3:s in CC (and 2 being MW) and 6 atatcks on 4:s in FF. Thats 10 attacks (8 normal and 2 MW) in an engagement. You'll pay 375 point for the unit though so it's not cheap.
Te 4+RA of the terminators also really helps to soak up hits. I'm not saying that the unit is OP for it's price but it's no doubt a pretty strong unit.
This was a bad match up for the BL since they are a assault army with not much shooting to take out the corvus black stars (which needs to be done to seriously hamper the deathwatch i think).

Me and Norto talked about upping the Thunderbolts to 175 like in the codex list. I think thats a good move. The list feels like a different kind of marine list with the possibility of mixing units in a formation and the skimme rtransports. I like it alot.

Would be nice if some of the more experienced players could try out the list and trying to break it. Maybe theres a list out there that has to much potential?

Thanks Dan for writing this up,

Yeah was definitely tough no shooting to deal with the Blackstars. Going to bump the thunderbolts to 175 in the next update.
