So after much internet, codex and table bashing with my Deathwing I have come to the conclusion that while for the most part being the only viable way to play Dark Angels, the Deathwing can often have a fair bit of trouble with horde style armies.
I used to regulate that to my speeders which were had multi-melta/heavy flamer combo, I have finally built a brace of speeders with typhoon launchers on em and lost the mild anti horde from my old speeders.
A couple of people have suggested dakka preds, but to me a pair of HB's and an auto cannon isn't enough.
I'm liking the look of a Pair of whirlwinds more and more, with possible support from a Vindi hiding in the woods.
At 1500pts (my usual game size)
I can grab Belial, 6 squads of Deathwing, 3 Typhoon/Melta Speeders, 2 Whirlwinds and a Vindicator.
(i changed from the mixed deathwing/ravenwing, to as many terms on field as possible awhile ago, I dont mind inaccurate deepstrike these days, I just keep em about 8" away from painful possibilites)
Any thoughts?
