The idea was to maximize versatility and numbers. 43 Termies. I though about some knights but giving up Storm bolter shots for the possibility of Close Combat availability seems like a hard sale. I haven't played since 5th edition so feel free to give input. I have no idea what the current meta is haha

Played someone in an RTT who runs a largely DW list to great effect but he runs with an apothecary, talonmaster, dw knights, termies and BGV.

 

What I would ask about your list is, what secondaries do you intend to typically take?

 

You dont have the mobility to react things overly much,and lack small tradeable/throwaway units so eoaf, rod, etc arent much of an option for you.

 

You could try To The Last frequently, given Termie bricks are tough to remove, and it does shape the enemy's behavior into focusing on trying to remove them, but do you want that focus?

 

If you stubborn defiance, and oath of moment with a list like this (and who wouldnt), then DW Knights I would posit, are even slightly more valuable with their WS2+, and innate tankiness but ymmv.

 

Other than trundling then up the board, using ap 0 storm bolters, and your extremely minimal anti tank capability to sit on objectives what is your plan to score secondary points with the list. You can darned sure content for primary primacy, but after that what would the plan be? Stubborn Defiance, raise the banners, and sit and repel anythijg that gets close enough for your bolter/melee grindstone?

 

Fun looking list btw!

I'd consider a BG Banner with the relic for -1d, but otherwise looks like a solid "you can't kill me" list

[Redbaron997]

I realized my list above is completely illegal ( you can't take SB and single claw on the termites). However you can for relic termies though I would rather have CML than reaperz but to avoid the x3 rule and to shave points for second hq I went with them. Edited September 16, 2021 by redbaron998
