As I’ve said before, this blog focuses more on theme lists, fun lists, and conversions than rules or trying to decimate your opponent. That being said, I will be completely ignoring the 6th edition “leak”. Instead I want to focus on a few things in the next couple weeks. One is the armies I’m working on right now. I’m going to explain why I am taking what I am taking if it’s suboptimal, and the purpose of the list. Another thing I want to bring up real quick is the point value I use for most lists. I like 1750, not because I get to play it often, because most of the pickup games at my FLGS (that’s friendly little game store) are usually 2000 or 1500. I focus on 1750 because it’s the sweet spot that lets you move up or down the easiest. That being said, let’s look at my current conversion project, Deathwing at 1750.

This is of course Angels of Malice (Sons of Malice offshoot) chaos counts as using the Dark Angel codex. If you don’t know who Malal is, look him up. I love the Chaos terminator models, and as it’s one of my favorite kits, I had to model a whole army of them. Pictures are coming as soon as I can figure out how to make them non-shitty (the pictures not my minis). The list is pretty standard. I took the land speeders over predators in case I needed deep striking sacrificial melta. I know this brings down the amount of anti-infantry the list brings, but I’m not worried about facing hordes. It would be very easy to swap out for 3 predators with heavy bolter sponsons in any event.
