Today im going to talk about Deathwing. It is one of the things that makes...or rather made us unique. Now we all have taken our pure deathwing armies out on table and have been greeted with question such as "Where are youre troops?" or remarks such as "WoW". How ever despite the "Cool/Stun Factor" are the Deathwing efficient?
In the 5th Ed theres alot of goodies and rules that peel the shell of them. The increasing Melta/Plasma gun spam has done nothing good for the men in white! An Imperial Guard veteran squad can be fully upgraded to have Meltas/Plasmas. Wolves Grey Hunters may take pretty much what ever they want, and the ever threatening Mech Lists mean that out 5 man Deathwing squads have to rely on a 33% to roll a 5 or a 6 to stay alive. For a model that may costs up to 49 points it just dosent seem that efficient!
And do keep in mind that our 2+ save is extremely cool, it is still victim to propability. Horde armies of orcs that charge and foce 20 saves will guarentee you lose 3 termies, ofcourse there are exceptions for many rules, but Statistics also play a huge role in WH40K
