wolf guard body guard

[The_Betrayed_Spacewolf]

ok so recently i came into owning the shooting terminator squad and a few sprues off the assault squad.

 

 

now heres where i need your help i have

1 of the following

 

assault cannon (i can make about 3-4 others atm)

heavy flamer

cyclone missile launcher

 

5 storm bolters and 4 power fist

1 power weapon

2 chain fists

 

i also have 3 left handed lightning claws

3 right handed lightning claws

 

1 thunder hammer and 1 storm shield

 

also in my ownership the pewter collector terminator sergeant and a pewter terminator rune priest with rune axe

 

my wolf guard battle leader is already equipped with an assault cannon as well as a frost blade.

 

 

now heres the question can yall help me out in figuring out how to equip my limited terminators as well as how to best use them. i feel like making another wolf guard battle leader with a heavy flamer to go with my blood claws in an lr. while using another with a drop pod of greys or body guard.

My current HQ TDA shooty squad sits as follows WGBL CML/SB/PF, 2 AC/LC 2 SS/SB RC for all but HQ and WP for the first 3 listed, realtively cheap and very effective. Having the WGBL with a CLM hitting on 2+ is a most glorious thing and keeps them in the action the entire game.

 

I can put the same squad in a Pod but I switch out the CML WGBL for a CF/SS add a WTN and I am now geared to take on all comers. Add a Wolf Priest in PA with HB&P for a extra kick if wanting the additional hardness. From experience, barring any unlucky events, this unit can take some serious punishment as well as dish it out.

 

I tend not to run my WGPL in TDA but when I do, they are equiped just like my WGPL in PA TH/SS or PF/SS. I have my GH or BC carry the PWs so I can get max hits from the PW while enjoying 2-4 attacks hitting on 3+ with a instant kill weapon from the WG, easy to switch them to WGBL if wanting to kit your HQs on the cheap at 135ish.

 

So with your pieces I would suggest you scrap together 2 SS and magnetize them to the back of the Power Fist, run as SB/SS or SB/PF. giving you the option to run them either way and as the sheild covers the PF there are no WYSIWYG issues. having a 3+ invol save for 10 points is well worth the conversion.

 

I have had great success with running a WGBL in TDA CML that joins a GH squad of 6 in a RB to do do rear guard duties, frustrating to your oppenent when they have kill off the GHs before they can get to your HQ, if you do this make sure you give him RC and assign hits to him until he loses the RC to take advantage of the 2+ save he offers, this extends the life of the squad if they are under heavy fire.

 

Hope this gives you some ideas.

For the first time tonight I used 2 CMLs on my Wolf Priest led TDA Body Guard. The versitility of the CMLs make them an interesting prospect. I usually Run 3 ACs in my 5 man team with WGBL and 4 buddies (WGBL has FB too), but I didn't really miss the AC's too much tonight. I actually found I missed the FB more when close combat happened ( I kep the standard PW on the priest). I still haven't made a final decision but CMLs are definately a good alternative with the new SM weapon rules.

 

I have found that the SS option is very nice with PF or TH on the two extra non-CML termies. Too bad I only have one SS right now. I am working a trade to get 5 more to add to my models (some for characters and others for the WG). 3+ invul is amazing!

Got any magnets. If you do I'd magnetize them, as the WGBG have so many cool options as it is, that way you could write the list for any combination you want. It's worked wonders for me.
