Shattered dreams

after a few messaged passed back and forth on a couple of message boards, I think Lustwing will not be viable in the points limits the store is playing at. At 750 points, a unit of 6 terminators would take up 1/3 of my army. putting a Luitenant or Lord with them, then units of Daemons and weapons, i would be well past the 750 point mark very fast and wouldn't have the staying power necessary at that size model count. Bikers cost about the same. with the same issues.

however, I can still fall back on the Word Bearers.

+ They can still perform the Daemon bomb very effectively. (loads of troops slots)
+ They can still use bikes to get summoners to a forward position
+ Less point heavy (14 point Marine +1pt mark of Chaos Undivided vs. 14pt marine +5pt mark os Slaanesh))
+ Can be converted to ZealotWing for high point games (termies still dropping, bikes still zooming, daemons still popping in from the ether)
+ Easier to paint than the pink.
+ Can use Bloodletters
- No Sonic Weapons (although i was never sold on these or the looks of Noise Marines)
- No modifier to enemy's initiative means striking at initiative mostly.
- No bonus for summoning

So at 750 points i know I will be a lot more viable as a DaemonBomb, and i can change it up to emulate ZealWing at higher point value games.
Maybe some other time.
