I have now had a couple test games under my belt for the Caliban's Fist 2000 point list project I am working on. My Deathwing Terminators were not having the punch that I was needing, and often times did not perform their role successfully. They even struggled to take out a Space Wolf Venerable Dreadnought for an entire game. I've tweaked the list a bit to make the Deathwing Terminators hit a little harder by giving them the tools that they need to be successful. This is achieved by adding an Interrogator-Chaplain in Terminator armor and a Deathwing Apothecary to the group. The rerolls from the Chaplain and the healing power of the Apothecary should make the entire group more effective. I also found that the Tactical squad felt clunky as a defensive unit, feeling unnecessary in the castle and being too expensive as a simple objective holder. I've decided to lighten up the "castle" a little bit by removing the troop support. The castle will only consist of the characters and 5 Hellblasters, with the option of walking one or both of the Intercessors with them depending on the mission type. Eventually, I would like to beef up the castle by picking up more Hellblasters, but with my current collection 5 models will have to do. I also had to shave some of the points to make this all fit, so I took some upgrades off of the Imperial Knight and removed the Watcher in the Dark. The new lists are as follows:
