Hiya,
I feel the same way. My complete imperial force (of 20000 points) ha=
s 5 vortex missiles, 3 are deathstrikes and 2 are mounted on Warlords. That=
's it ... period.
But then again I feel the same way about LandRaiders. Th=
e above forces has 25 raiders (2 companies plus 5 for Deathwing) and a few =
extra as command. I feel that 3-4 per 1000 points in a game is a maximum.
=
BTW, I don't think the Ordinatus are that bad, again as long as they are us=
ed sparingly.
Cheers.

Are deathstrikes a main force unit in E40k? Consid=
ering
that they were support-card only in SM/TL, it seems like they
should =
be only available under the arty support section. Might
make fielding them=
a little more limiting.
