This is the revision. I'm still wondering about the points cost for the
special ability. I do think both auto-pass L.C. and ignoring blast markers
is the way to go, though. I'd rather increase the points more then take
away one of those aspects. I also changed the Librarian to a Terminator
stand (only because in Codex:Angels of Death it says in the Deathwing all
of it's members wear Terminator armor not like others where you also have
veterans just wearing power armor), and made some changes to the support
and maximum amount of units you can take. Let me know if this is a little
better and give me some more criticism.

Notes: Any unit that is part of the detachment can be assigned as the
detachment HQ, subject to the detachment�s chain of command. If the
original HQ is eliminated the next unit below on the chain of command
becomes the new HQ.

 Chain of command: Master of Deathwing> Librarian> Terminator> Any other
unit.


Deathwing: As described in Codex: Angels of Death Members are immune to
the effects of psychology. Members of the Deathwing are know for their
unwillingness to back down in the face of horror. To represent this the
Deathwing special ability allows detachment members to auto-pass ALL
leadership tests, and ignore the effects of Blast markers.

You may include as many Deathwing detachments in your army as you wish.
However, you should note that the Deathwing is just a single company and
can muster a maximum of 40 units, not including command section units,
i.e.: Deathwing Master and Librarian. No matter how many Deathwing
detachments you have there can only be 1 Master of the Deathwing. Each
detachment, however, is allowed to take a Librarian. If you do have other
Deathwing detachments just follow the chain of command to see who is in
control of each detachment.
