So I originally tried to figure out a balanced Expendables list with a bunch of billy badasses in the 40k universe. Enter Belial. Mordrak w/ 5 Ghost terminators (2 Hammers, 3 Swords) Draigo 5 Paladins (2 Psycannons, 2 Hammers, 2 Halberds, 1 Sword) 5 Paladins (2 Psycannons, 2 Hammers, 2 Halberds, 1 Sword) Belial 10 Deathwing Terminators (2 Assault cannons, 1 Chain fist) 2000 points I was messing around earlier with a list using 20 Deathwing terminators and some blood angels when I randomly thought about this again, and honestly- I think I'm gonna do it. Why? Low model count, small and compact army to transport and I think it'll be a blast to play. It has some serious damage potential and if all else fails games will be quick. 39 Scoring terminator wounds isn't too shabby either. BE AFRAID FOR THE EXPENDABLES ARE COMING FOR YOU AND YOURS. That is all.

Thats.....remarkably terrifying, given that it has 27 models at 2000 points.

Low model count is always nice ;D Less to paint! (though with so few models it will likely be expected that each should win a Golden Daemon on it own)

Maybe I should do up some "Bling Marines" -> Grey Knights painted with Bright Gold and Silvers, Hot Pink and Purple Weapons, Based with Pink Glitter! Seriously tho, Would probably be pretty fun to play. And honestly 25 TEQs are not easy to deal with. Especially given that one of them deep strikes directly in your face T1.

I'd like to play it with the 100 MEQ list. I'd only have 6 weapons in the list that beat your armour, but I'd be interested in seeing what that many bolter shots a turn could do just on weight of fire.

Even though I know how you're going to paint the DA and thus I know you won't paint them like this. You should paint them like this:

It was brought to my attention that I can't do this, so lame- back to the drawing board for a small terminator army.

So why can't you do it?

Belial only makes Deathwing troops if he's the primary detachment, which means I can't fit in mordrak, and I can't seem to justify to myself doing it differently. Lemme see though.

So I can try this out and see, though I'm uncertain honestly.
Mordrak, 5 Ghost Terminators (Banner) Draigo
10 Paladins, 4 Master Crafted Psycannons (3 Hammers, 3 Swords, 4 Halberds) 10 Paladins, 4 Master Crafted Psycannons (3 Hammers, 3 Swords, 4 Halberds)
Ultimately I lose out on some possible alpha strike ability, but gain more terminator wounds to scout up. The Paladins will generally combat squad to allow better target prioritization on my part and will stick together for kill points style missions.

That looks scarier in my opinion.
