Is there a list that would allow the 11 figures into a valid list without converting them.

I was just going to put them in a standard marine list, but since sergeants no longer get wargear choices, or terminator command squads, I keep ending up a figure short.

To my knowledge the possibilities are Death Wing or Wolf Guard.. but I haven't been able to find out if a Death Wing can use upgrades on the squad sergeants, and everything I've seen for Wolf Guard seem to lack any sign of storm bolters and power fists.

Any chance someone has either of the books and could enlighten me as to which might have a possible list that fits the figures.

Only way to do it is with either the Wolf list of the Deathwing list -

Using the Wolf List - 820pts

Logan Grinmar (using the Librarian as a counts as)
Wolf Guard Squad 1 -
2x Storm Bolter/Power Fist
1x Storm Bolter/Chain Fist
1x Heavy Flamer/Power Fist
1x Power Weapon/Storm Bolter

Wolf Guard Squad 2 -
3x Storm Bolter/Power Fist
1x Assault Cannon/Power Fist
1x Thunder Hammer/Storm Shield

1x Lone Wolf, terminator armour, 2x Wolf Claws.

Using the Dark Angels list - 600pts

Belial (twin Lightning Claws)

Deathwing Squad 1 -
2x Storm Bolter/Power Fist
1x Storm Bolter/Chain Fist
1x Heavy Flamer/Power Fist
1x Power Weapon/Storm Bolter

Deathwing Squad 2 -
3x Storm Bolter/Power Fist
1x Assault Cannon/Power Fist
1x Thunder Hammer/Storm Shield

Adding the Librarian would take it to 745

El D, with SW list, the second WG squad cannot take the AC (1 per 5 men)

You don't normally see Storm Bolters and Power Fists on Wolf Guard, because they can have 'better' weapons for the same points cost

It can, as they are two individual squads, using 2 troop choices. Wouldn't be a legal list if they all came from 1 choice.

It's also worth noting that not all 5 members of a Wolff Guard Squad have to have Terminator armour for the 5th to take it and the heavy weapon..

WG with claws and Cyclone launcher, split off to lead a squad of Blood Claws comes to mind.

So just to confirm, if I go the Death Wing route, the squad sergeant can take options other than the SB/PW that the vanilla book restricts them to?

Yep, Deathwing squads aren't broken down into regular and assault terminators like the 'regular' marine book.

Thanks all for the help.

I've done a little digging and despite having previously had 2 marine armies, I've uncovered less than 1 tactical squad but I have got a solid metal dread and around 15 scouts.

Do the Death Wing lists remove all non terminator armoured infantry or do they still allow for scout squads and just make terminators a troop choice along with the standard options?

Just makes terminators troops - you can still take scouts and dreads, though it's worth noting that scouts in a Dark Angels army are elite choices.

Okay, so final question promise.

Do Land Raiders stay as heavy slots or is it possible for them to be dedicated transports?

And where do Dreads sit elites or heavy?

Land Raiders are always Heavy, no dedicated transport option.

Dreads are elites.

Thanks again for all the help, gives me something to work with as I'm unlikely to make it to a GW until Christmas at the earliest.
