6th edition pure deathwing

[N1AK]

Glances got better which makes S7 a reasonable anti-vehicle weapon now and AP2 still makes them great against MEQ armies like Necrons. I dropped a load for Grenade Launchers when I tried out my guard but with the ability to shoot 24" on the move a lot will be coming back in. Also, Terminators need to get into CC to earn their points so overwatch is even more fire they are going to be taking.

^^^ The above sums up Plasma nicely. People will be taking it in 6th for shooting at MEQ, TEQ and primarily for vehicles

[Megatron]

I suppose you are right,: I read over the rule book at least 1 person will die every two turns from overheating.

[Bartali]

Not quite sure what you've based that on ? For a Marine, one will die on average after 18 Plasma shots fired

[Overlord Krycis]

Actually, Terminators die a lot easier in sixth too. The changes to Rapid Fire means there's a lot more anti-infantry shooting and Plasma wandering the table. The changes to Power Weapons are a nice bonus to termimators, but you're far more likely to come up against with mass rapid fire guns than you are power weapons

Don't know about your area, but plasma is rare in mine...I'm one of the few players to actually use it, everyone else still has their melta-spam

[Russell's teapot]

My plasma spam has come out of cryogenesis from 4th ed and is back with a BANG!

[Megatron]

Has anyone tested out their deathwing librarians yet?

[Elios Harg]

I've been running Ezekiel pretty consistently and he's pretty good (basically a captain stat-wise and gets to cast prescience to boot). Our basic librarian has improved as well, casting prescience on a Ld 9 isn't that big of a deal now that psychic hoods suck. And other than wounds, they still have great combat stats. I'm looking forward to playing some 2000+ with 2 FOCs so that I can field more than 1 librarian.

[Megatron]

I was worried that at leadership 9 the regular libby, wouldnt be as effective as ezekiel.
