WG Vrox Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 And I was all ready to slap the corner collar and chain on you again Lunchbox. Next time you go Wuven you should tell someone your feeling funny! I truly do not understand the question. I at first thought he was joking trying to stir up a hornet nest so a sting here or there was fair play. But back to the question. "but anyway back to the point would it be plausable if i did collect space wolves to use dark angel codex for them?" I don't mean this is a bad way, but why would you want to? I mean are you planning on painting DA green on a SW model, do you like the SW Grey but not their rules or where you wanting to create a new chapter altogether? I see from your posts that you are no stranger to the modeling/40k world, so my good man help us help you. WG Vrox.

Ryzouken Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I believe the OP may feel that the ranged combat doctrine that most DA's prefer better suit his playstyle over our boys's more... visceral, combat methodology. Alternately, he may not know the differences and may simply be responding to the common opinion that, because our codex is old, it is weak. There is a varying degree of truth to that. We are stronger in 5th than we were in 4th, but still have not stumbled over any "silver bullet" strategies that would propel us to the levels that Orks, Daemons, and Eldar possess. Still, we are a force to be reckoned with, depending on what interpretations of the FAQ are used at a given tournament. Do we get the Rhino rebate alluded to in the German FAQ? Do we get the use of Ironclads and Redeemers? What about all our phantom wargear? And are we really to believe that the SW, renowned for their unwillingness to adhere to Imperial doctrine in the face of pragmatism, zealously adhere to transport protocol when their brothers do not? Just a reason or two. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/163434-space-wolves-with-dark-angel-codex/page/3/#findComment-1924025 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Mage Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Im curious... whats the eldars silver bullet? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/163434-space-wolves-with-dark-angel-codex/page/3/#findComment-1924034 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryzouken Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Not sure, but there must be one given the preponderance of Eldar armies at the last big RTT (in the top 30).* Of course, there were more Ork armies there. Did you know that of the top 30, there were 10 (!) Ork armies?* Anyway, I'd say that the Scatter Laser is crazy strong against everything that isn't a tank, and that they've got Fire Dragons to fix that problem. So their "Silver Bullet" combo could be considered Scatter Spam + Fire Dragons. just a theory though. * figures based on another post on another board (or this one) that I only half remember. Might've been on Dakka. It's 1 AM, I'm not going to research it ATM.

Grey Mage Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 An AP 6 gun? You must be joking. No offense.... but as an eldar player Ive always found the key to winning is denying your opponent an armor save. Unless Im expecting horde-o-nids or maybe keg-o-orks I wont take them. But as for eldar doing well at RTT.... I think the answer is simple- they have alot of low AP weaponry and a good amount of speed. Horde orks lack speed these days, as do most marine lists I see.... combine that with marine reliance on the 3+ save and we see a formula for dead marines. Orks are much harder to fight as an eldar player because of the sheer weight of T4 bodies.... Still Ill look around for lists like that, itd be odd but it might work.

While the Scatter Las lacks ap, it is a 4 shot Str 6 weapon. In 5th's world of easy cover saves, volume of fire is often more important than low ap, and with a high str, the Scatter's hits are very likely to wound. When everything and its dog can fit a scatter laser for cheap, we start to see an echo of the old starcannon spam lists of 4th and before. The difference is, of course, that saves are allowed with the new version, but ultimately, the number of kills don't change. For hordes, they have Fire Prisms and the aforementioned arse load of shots. For tanks, there's Fire Dragons. It's actually not a bad list. With Orks, the power tournament build runs (usually) two units of Nob Bikes and the remainder filled in with huge mobs of boys and/or, well, anything they feel like. Lootas, Stormboys, Battlewagons, et al.

Loving this topic, where else but the Emperors beloved Fang could such a controversial topic be found.
