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. |
