sorry i haven't gotten back very quickly, 4 days strait in a gw store with lots of little kids is hell! (though still fun

)

anyways, as for your comments:

1) the dread. yep, it's purely for versatility and the fact that with the twin-linked las, he'd be a whopping 155pts! and i'm never spending that on an av12 walker for obvious reasons... (i'm not too happy about his already high cost cost, but it's a bloody sweet model so i'll live with it!)

2) the vets, i could add 1 more, but then they'd be 7 which is awfull for scoring unit purposes... if i could find another 5 pts somewhere, i could make them 8 strong for a pretty solid counter-assault.
i could drop the thunder hammer down to a power fist???

3) i'm taking 10 termies as this the list represents the bearer's 1st company. (so all their termies and dedicated heavy weapon squads...)
now, we have had a pure deathwing before at astro and it played surprisingly well with only 17 models in total! so thatks to astro's layout of proper missions & the decent amount of cover on the tables, smaller armies still stand a chance of winning a few games! (GW tournies in contrast might have 2-4 pieces of terrain/table... astro has a few spares tables, but then we have cities of death tables too!)

4) the razorback. before, it was compleatly useless! but now, it's much cheaper and it's more effective than a rhino thanks to the twin-linked heavy bolter...

5) the devies... multi-meltas might be the worst choice after the plasma cannon, but i'm stuck with licking this list from my templar version too!
sadly, while taking 8 men would have been optimal, dark angels are stuck with 5 or 10 man squads... (company vets are the only flexable squad in the entire list!)

i'm thinking another possible change could be to remove the thunder hammer altogether?
that gives me 65pts which is just enough for a land speeder with multi-melta or heavy bolter???

OR

drop the thunder hammer & swap the razorback to a rhino which gives me 80pts total which is just enough for 5 scouts with either bolters/shotguns/bolt pistols + ccw's???

i hate decisions!!!

cheers!
