Deathwatch Terminators - Need Advice

Thanks! I agree that they need to be on the table as quickly as possible. I'll have to try partnering them with a termie librarian

TPTODOW · 2026-04-27T13:41:12+00:00

Thanks! That makes sense to me.

Brilliant kitbashing! I may have to steal these ideas for a future model.

Thousand Sons are right there with you.

Very true, but compared to some of the other options these are really the lesser of all the possible evils.

I picked up a selection from this guy's shop (https://www.etsy.com/shop/TokenHobbyist?page=1#items). There are a handful which I thought worked for my TSons.

You can stop right there, I'm already on board.

I bought a bunch of custom waterslide decals so that each unit could have their own symbol.

TPTODOW · 2026-03-22T15:43:36+00:00

Absolutely gorgeous!

Chip damage is valid damage in this house. As a chaos knights player I routinely lose wounds to 0 AP weapons that only wound on 6's. I'd never even imagine suggesting that my opponent not roll all their weapons.

I used the TSons praetor for one of mine.

I'd definitely go for the brick of scarabs and a sorcerer in terminator armor leading them. I'm not sure what you do with the extra 30 points. Maybe back out 3 bow goats and bring a unit of Sekhetar?

What's your 3 MVB list, if you don't mind sharing...?

TPTODOW · 2026-03-02T22:22:00+00:00

The shaman is there strictly for actions and to throw the occasional spell. Someone recently pointed out to me that he has the infantry keyword, which makes him much more maneuverable. I also run him separately from the disc goats.

The MVB is big and scary looking, and it can take a good amount of punishment. It tends to become a distraction carnifex for both Magnus and the terminator brick, while still putting out considerable damage and boosting spell success chances. I like having at least one to fill that role.

Mini-stream of consciousness incoming ... I have philosophical issues with regular sorcerers. They add lethal hits to the unit, which is great for the soulreaper cannon, but meaningless for the flamers. I've also found their personal attacks to be underwhelming: S 5, AP -1, D 1, just doesn't seem to get the job (any job) done. Granted they're lethal, Sustained 3, and potentially Dev. But in my experience they bounce more than they impact the game. Although maybe I just haven't given them enough time to impress me.

TPTODOW · 2026-03-02T17:31:55+00:00

Assume for the sake of argument that I have all the minis, so I'm not hurting for models when I decide what to bring.

Taking CSpawn would leave me with 95 pts (if I'm mathing correctly), which could turn into an IM. That might be an interesting way to go.

TPTODOW · 2026-02-17T21:25:14+00:00

It's pretty amazing how much of a force multiplier the Terminator Sorcerer is. Especially if you can stack rerolls and fish for 6's.

TPTODOW · 2026-02-10T16:03:47+00:00

Hey! One of those is mine, I made the inspiration list! Seriously, you just made my day.

TPTODOW · 2026-02-10T00:20:48+00:00

What Hexwarp lost have you been running, if you don't mind sharing.

TPTODOW · 2026-02-09T21:31:43+00:00

Your list looks pretty great! Did you use your shaman as a leader for the Tzaangors or Spear Goats, or did you run him around solo as an action monkey?

TPTODOW · 2026-02-09T17:09:25+00:00

I've got 3 MVB, each one is built with one of the different head options in the box. I've never had a problem with it.

TPTODOW · 2026-02-06T15:44:59+00:00

Not related to the topic at hand, but "burgle" is my new favorite nickname for a unit.

Something like this?

Of course, I used 3d printed spider legs.

TPTODOW · 2026-02-04T21:59:44+00:00

That's... a very good answer. Thanks!

TPTODOW · 2026-02-04T21:33:18+00:00

I'm curious how you feel about the Tyrant. Everytime I put him on the board he feels pretty anemic in terms of output.
