Death From Above

[Capt. Kenaz]

Hey Folks,

 

I want to build a Wolf Guard Battle Leader and accompanying Wolf Guard Terminator Bodyguard.

 

Here's thing (besides fear of time and a new 'Dex not making it legal!);

 

I want to drop in on amnything, within some tactical reason of course, and destroy it!

 

I figure:

 

WGBL with say a frost sword and a combi-plasma

2 WG with asslt. cannons

2 WG with combi-plasma and an L. claw for fluff.

 

What do you think.

What could I do to make it even more effective?

 

Thanks in advance

Honestly id either give your WGBL a Cyclone missile launcher or an assault cannon. the combi-plasma is nice, but is totally useless after it fires. you can also upgrade your pod to have a death wind missile launcher. i have two wolfguard units each with two assault cannons, two combi-plasmas, and a WGBL with an assault cannon.

 

There is however another option i want to try, and i think it may be just wrong how effective it is.

 

i want to try a WGBL w/ Heavy Flamer and Powerfist, 2 WG w/ Heavy Flamer and Powerfists, and 2 WG with Combi-Flamers and Power Swords.

i know the WGBL with a h.Flamer is a waste of BS 5 but look at the trade off. if you pod this unit and drop it next to just about anything you want and kill it. if you hit a 10 man squad and place your templates right you can hit it up to 50 times. 30 at S5 and 20 at S4. i dont care how tough that unit is, it is dead.

If you don't mind having lots of points, go with a DWML on your pod, I'd say go AC on the WGBL, some AC TDAs and dual claw, itll be a diverse group, but if you're dropping in, they should be seeing action pretty quickly. THat's just for something nasty, kinda fluffy, and fun, though.

 

If you want straight up mean, I'd say lean toward ACs and Cyclone.

well i would throw another WGBG in, because you can fit him. then i would throw in wolf pelts, runic charms, wolf tails, and anything that might help them survive a little longer. i feel that the heavy weapon on the WGBL is a random call, based on who/what you are playing. i like it when i know i am playing a lot of armor, big bugs, and the like. but as a over all nasty guy i tend to lean towards the combi-melta more, then the plasma. has a little more punch for vehicles. just my thoughts.

I usually run 5 in a pod, sometimes with a pair of wolves. CC wise they get a frost blade, two fist style weapons, and two at iniative weapons. Ranged-wise I tend to run 3 assault cannons, a combi-melta or two, and if I take a LC on a regular, a stormbolter. Gives them a nice all round punch. Everyone gets a runic charm, those with the best weapons- chain fists, LC, get wolf pelts if I have the points.

 

I dont run a deathwind launcher. Ive heard to many different ideas about wether it can fire the turn it drops in. Ill run them on dread pods though as a bit of Anti-Infantry support. It seems to work well.
