Hello, fellow kith and kin of the hallowed halls of Russ. My WGPL's (Wolf Guard Pack Leaders, for those not aware) are currently equipped mostly as Storm Shield and Power Fist. I am seeing a great deal of feedback from those that have had a game or more that the WGPL with a Power Fist has become rather decidedly lackluster. I don't want to have to potentially damage painted models, however, barring that, I will need some replacements. I in the past did not like Combi-weapons as they were one shot only on the underslung weapon; that might have changed enough now with the rework of 8th Edition these days. From the recent post about new Codex books by Christmas, I am wondering on another note if our actual 8th Ed. Codex will be out soon, as well. Back to the WGPL's: - What works "Best" and under what situations is that "best" considered to be said "best"? - Are Thunder Hammers a solid replacement? - Are Storm Shields worth it on a PA 1 Wound model? Likely not, what else might work instead? - If I am using mainly Rhinos for my Grey Hunter packs, what is a solid all rounder loadout? I have all my GH packs with 1 Meltagun; I need to get more models to be equipped with MG's, two per pack. I hear Plasma is worth it, I just don't like what rolling 1's will do. Is Str 7 all the time worth a Plasmagun still? I hope this helps others like answers here should help me; also, please, this is for WGPL's for mainly GH and BC packs. Thoughts, feedback, advice,..? I like fluffy lists, however, I can never ditch the urge to try and win, and 8th is shaping up to be a really fluff driven edition. I just need to make sure that my GH and BC packs are performing well, including their WGPL's, thus this thread. Go.
