Grey Mage Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 So... what HQ is the first one that pops into your head when your going to make an army list. If it varies, who do you find yourself taking most often... and what are they equiped with? Do they get a sweet ride? An awesome squad of death? Do the support the rank and file? Go commando? How do you lead your men into the fray? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/160868-sw-allstars/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

LPetersson Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 My first choice is always a VenDread with Autocannon/HF. After that it's usually a WGBL leading a unit of Blood Claw bikers. I have had a lot of good stuff come out of them. I'll usually give this WGBL a powerfist or thunderhammer. After that, it's usually leading either Grey Hunters or Blood Claws in rhinos or land raiders. Once in a blue moon I'll bring a unit of termies, but that's rare. Very rare... With GHs/BCs he'll usually get either a combi-melta or a Plasma Pistol with a powerfist or frost axe. If he's with assault termies he'll get LCs or TH/SS and if he's with shooty termies, it's usually AC/SS or AC/PF. He always get WP/WTN/RC of course. And Runic Armour unless he's hanging out with the termies... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/160868-sw-allstars/#findComment-1887828 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Mage Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 Personally Im big on footsloggers, so my first choice is usually a WGBL with TDA, frostblade, Assault cannon, etc. Before that was opened up in my local tourneys it was the Vendread, also with assault cannon. Ive always loved the models. I usually run the WGBL with either some CC oriented GH or four other WG.

Wolf Guard Hengist Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 1st Choice Erik Bluelegs WGBL, TDA, Frost Axe, Storm Shield or Assault Cannon, Wolf Pelt, Runic Charm, Wolf Tooth Necklace. Erik always drops into the battlefield with 4 WGBG in TDA and always creates chaos in the enemys back yard. 2nd Choice Hagar Longhsot Ven Dread, Plasma Cannon, Missile Launcher, Extra Armour. I always put Hagar in cover with a good field of fire where his BS5 really pays off and with a 4+ cover save, hard to kill and Extra Arm he is a real nuisance.

Ullr Direfang Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 ven. dred.s and wolf priest are in all my listls but i have they aren't the commander. the two ways i tend to run my wolf lord are: 1) PA, FB, WP, PP, BoR, WTN, frags. this guy tend to go in a rhino with a GH squad. i run two rhinos that "take the plunge" while foot sloggers move in usually left alone. and 2) TDA, WP, FB, SB, RC, WTN. this guy rides in style with a bodyguard in a landraider. some times he gets lightning claws or an addition CCW.

JEFF4i Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 My most used? 1) VenDred, AC/DCCW/SB in a drop pod 2) Wolf Lord on a bike with a Frost Axe 3) Wolf Lord with Fenrisian Wolves and a storm shield, he's my meatshield. I really need to get myself a wolf lord, or something of the sort, in TDA though.

No, duh. :P 1) is because I almost always take him. 2 is for my faster mech army, 3 is for my slower shooty shooty army.

muzzyman1981 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 So far my two stars is my Plasma Pistol Wolf Priest (based on Ulrik's model) and my Venerable Dreadnought.....although I'm hoping my new Frost Blade and Storm Shield (or Bolt Pistol) Wolf Lord will do as well when I finally field him.

Vash113 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 My first choice is always my Wolf Lord Silvar Stormblade, replete with Runic Armor, Belt of Russ and Frost Blade. He's even smacked down Abaddon in cc. :P Though my Battle Leader in Terminator Armor based off of Logan Grimnar is a close second and the Games Day Wolf Priest Sturnhammer right after.

Wolf Guard Nostromo Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I have three favourite choices: Wolf Lord Kjell Frostbringer - TDA, Frost blade, Combi-melta, WP, RC, WTN, Ven Dread - Asscannon, H.Flamer (who gets a drop pod if Im feeling nasty) WGBL Iago - Power Armour, Frost Blade, Bolter, Melta Bombs, WP, FG Frostbringer runs around gutting terminators/warbosses and melting anything with a ridiculous armour value, Iago gets thrown at the enemy with any blood claws I field while the ven dread deals with anything really nasty (most players seem to just run away from him!). I have been known to field exclusively TDA WGBLs with assualt cannons though :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/160868-sw-allstars/#findComment-1888706 Share on other sites More sharing options...

VonDrakenstorm Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 My HQ choice is Ragnar + 5 wolfguard witch I convert from sterguard. For all frenchies notice that William King's "Griffes Sanglantes"(Blod Claws) is now translated in french. So good reading.

GunnarRedsun Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Well obviously it depends on if i'm running the 13th company or not, but still. For my regular wolves, it easy. my WGBL Alric (frost weapon, bolt pistol, runic, wolf pelt, wolf tooth), and Bulliwyf my ven dread (twin las, heavy flame if i can afford it) are literally in ever list i make for them. i know the twin las isn't the best against hordes, but thats what the heavy flame and close combat weapon are for. both models have done AWESOME for me, neithor falling in over 24 games. Alric has smacked down a tyrant, 2 daemon prince, and gazy in combat too. so i love those guys. Alric is based on the older space wolf with the short sword (i want to say he was a blood claw sgt origionaly), and Buliwyf is based on the new ven dread. For my 13th company, obviously i have my wolf lord (mc. twin lightning, belt of russ, wolf tooth, wolf pelt), but i usually run my wolf preist. why him over the rune? because he owns everyone, thats why. he died once, after charging a unit og grey knight terminators, with grand master, and killing them all. cause thats the kind of thing he does. any moose, the wolf lord is all plastic, but my wolf priest, hes special. hes based on Sgt. Centurius. i've got pics of all these if any one wants to see. any wolf, later Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/160868-sw-allstars/#findComment-1890510 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wena Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 My staple lately is: 1 Wolf Priest with Plasma Pistol, Runic Armor, Healing Balms, Runic Charm 4 WGBG in TDA 2) Thunder Hammer & Storm Shield and Wolf Tooth Necklace (always hit on 3') and Runic Charm 2) Assult Cannons and Power Weapons and Runic charms 1) Dedicated Land Raider transport to get them where I want them... In 5th edition I have found this unit can take 120 bolter shots (from Noise Marines) and not lose a single man - the defensive and offensive ability of this team amazes me... But I also really like Ragnar (sometimes to add him to the unit above) and Venny Dread is invaluable... Wena P.S.
