Flourish the Deathwing -- Keeping the Faith

Posted by Ranillon on 23. April 2009 19:19

Here is my latest finished terminator.  He may just be a regular trooper, but he is special nevertheless.

 

 

 

 

 

 


He's special because he's a terminator only available to the Deathwing -- a marine with lightning claws and a Cyclone Missile Launcher.  It makes for a potent combo -- a heavy weapon with the full benefit of paired power weapons.  Only the Deathwing can do this and it makes for one of its few advantages over the new Space Marine list.

Personally, I think that when the Dark Angels codex is updated (probably sometime in the 27th century) this combination will likely be taken away, but I hope not.  So, think of this model as sort of an act of faith (besides being generally cool, IMHO).

    Yeah, I love the Dark Angels mainly because of the Deathwing and how they still maintain some degree of "uniqueness" from the regular 'dex (that, and DA were my first army :p)

    Nice painting, btw!  He looks very good!

    Definitely a cool mini! It does seem like a lot of eggs in one basket so to speak. You lose a pair of lightning claws and a cyclone missile launcher with just one kill.

    Ah yes, I've done the same thing - A cyclone with a thunderhammer and storm shield. Plenty of fun and very effective!  

    And its always fun when some know it all SM player insist its an illegal model. I like educating people!

    I too like the ability to add the long-ranged weapon to a close assault equipped squad. With something like this, the enemy can't just ignore them until they get close enough.
