I picked up the new Deathstorm box set this weekend. First, you get a nice tiny rulebook, second, you get a ton of minis, including the new character model. To celebrate, I got in a game with my buddy Chris and broke out my Death Company army. My 1,850 point list looks like this: Reclusiarch 25 Death Company - 5 power fists, 10 power swords, 10 CC/bolt pistols - 25 jump packs 5 Scouts with sniper rifles, camo cloaks 2 Dreads with MM, heavy flamers, drop pods 1 Level 2 Librarian (hoping to get invisibility) That's it.

The Reclusiarch joins the Death Company to gain even more cheaty rules. In the tournament, I went 2-1, with my only lost being very close Relic game. The first game was with a guy from Kansas City who had maxed out his IG army with heavy weapon squads. I was lucky to get night fight the first turn and ran as fast as I could to his hoard that turt...
