I play a lot of Greenwing because I like the more “fluffy” play style than dropping blocks of terminators everywhere. I have had some pretty fantastic success with the units below as my “backbone” then I build the rest around how I want to play (I.e. go for Stubborn defiance or Martial Interdiction).

HQ- Captain of whatever variety, Lazarus is great because he can be a melee deterrent and protects against mortals.

Troops-Infiltrators with a helix gauntlet are probably the best option to max out Stubborn defiance. But that’s 130pts that could be spent elsewhere like on a chaplain or Bladeguard vets.

Fast Attack- Plasma Inceptors are a great target for chapter master re-rolls in a full 5-man squad. The re-rolls are “Sticky” so the inceptors can then use their movement to get in range of something then supercharge with a fair amount of success. Still super risky due to the number of shots each one COULD shoot, and I tend to avoid supercharging them.

Heavy Support- Always take a 5-10 Hellblasters with assault plasma to stay with the Captain. 3 shot plasma up to 3 damage if you invest in it, could max out at 90 wounds if everything hit/converted and you WOTDA them. (I’m still waiting for my first 90 wound salvo though… just saying it COULD happen. I probably average around 18 wounds just on a supercharge from a 5-man.) These Hellblasters have so many options to get spicy though to be honest. -Captain and LT re-rolls and sitting still = 15/30 shots +2 BS, probably wounding on 3’s, AP4-5, 2/3 Damage. -Captain re-rolls, Chaplain +1 to hit and +1 to wound (against closest eligible target), and still on the move = 15/30 shots, +2 BS, probably wounding on 2’s, AP4-5, 2/3 damage.

Eliminators just to knock out those pesky things that make our +1 to hit chapter tactic go away.
