nagash4life Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Hello all. I am new to B&C and to the Wolves, but after stumbling my way here I have found the threads and articles to be an invaluable tool. I have already won my first two games thanks to some of the tactica that I found among the dusty tombs, but I have a question because I'm now preparing for my first tournament. The tournament is 1750pts and will use all 3 standard missions and deployments. From looking over the sign-up sheet, I see a lot of standard marines (8 of the 10 signed up) and I am concerned about having enough troops to hold objectives. Currently I have been running a list with 1 grey hunter pack in rhino, 1 blood claw pack in rhino and 1 eleven man blood claw pack in a landraider w/combat lord. I have enjoyed the effectiveness of rushing a flank with these three squads and with the amount of fire that the landraider can absorb and keep on ticking, but at ***pts it is a rather expensive transport. My question then centers around dropping the landraider in favor of another pack. In 1750pt games, is it necessary to have 4 troops, or would 3 be more then enough? Rounding out my list is a venerable dread and rune priest, blood claw bike squad, 1 melta attack bike and a vindicator. Thank you in advance for the replies.

hendrik Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 i'm not a fan of the landraider bloodclaw list, costs too much imo and a simple droppodding unit could ruin it's day;) an iron clad dreadnought in a droppod can be a pain in the ass and would be a good unit also, have you discussed how the power stormclaler works? i'd say you check it up with the organizer because else you might run into trouble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vassakov Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Hail to you! Have an Ale and listen to our tactical ramblings. As a now seasoned Tornuament player, I can appricate what you are feeling and so have pulled up my views on SW tornuament lists and my first Tornie Blog. Personally I would drop the Rune Priest, as he's extremely expensive and quite poor to be honest and replace him with a Wolf Priest or a WGBL, either would be cheaper and at least as effiecient. Also, a full army list would be very helpful. Vassakov. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JEFF4i Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Welcome to the Fang Bloodclaw! I've yet to look over it more, but I like the mobility of your force. There are many with more experience than I who will probably assist you though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranulf_Nightrunner Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Welcome Blood Claw, have an ale and some roasted pig / cow. As for your list, provided you can keep the 3 troops alive to contest objectives you should be alright, you've got a lot of mobility so that's very useful. Try it out, see if it works ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nagash4life Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 Thanks for all the replies and comments on the list. I'm still in the process of painting everything and unfortunately I won't have an opportunity to playtest the list again before the tournament. I'll report my success/failure after the tournament, which luckily isn't until 2/28. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is partially how I learned, my IW CP vs my Smurf CP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nagash4life Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 Well, about me....I've been playing 40k since early 3rd edition, so about 11ish years now. Early on I was an active "B-towner" and traded armies often. During 3rd edition I played literally every army except for Space Wolves, Black Templars and Chaos. I took a break for 4th edition because I got married and had a couple of kids and unfortunately sold all of my armies, but my now 16 year old step-son started reading the 40k novels and I was then able to get him to start playing the game with me. We found a LGS and are now regulars there. He plays Necrons and I started playing IG, but having played them before I got bored pretty quick (plus my son kept complainging about all the pie plates of death). So I ended up trading the IG for SW and have completely fallen in love with the army. I'm still learning the fluff and I just finished painting my first few models so I'm very wet behind the ears, but so far so good. The only thing I need to figure out now is how to make a good snow base. Any ideas?? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
