A million splinter shots; thousands of psybolt stormbolter shots; dozens of flamers to take advantage of deep-strike formation.<br /><br />Similarly, hordes can be a problem. More often than not the hordes can take the alpha-strike and shit out enough firepower to remove several units. Think Shoota Orks backed up by Lootas and Lobbas.<br /><br />The problem with the Deathwing is that it has neither the massive firepower nor the massive bodies. But these two problems aren't only going to be problems when dealing with Daemons. Armies that have massive small-arms fire are going to generate enough wounds that the Terminators will roll handfuls of 1s, and the low anti-infantry firepower of the Deathwing will not be able to stop hordes.<br /><br />I don't see Deathwing doing well at all in the current meta. Maybe as allies with some IG? :)Stupid Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00635724267013590918noreply@blogger.com
