Warhorse47 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Okay, with the new rules, I have a nice figure, but seems to be no more use than aregular Wolf. Am I mistaken, or should I just chop the standard and use him as a Power Fist? Opinions please my Fang Brothers.

hendrik Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 well, you coul use the banner to represent a TH or a PW or such otherwise just for a coolness factor?

Bran Scalphunter Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I use mine to represent a Rune Priest- I just lopped off part of the banner pole above the fist and counted him as having a Power fist and Staff (Power, Frost, or Runic) of some sort. But that was 4th Edition, so he doesn't get out much anymore *grumble grumble zoggin' GW...* Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/167328-standard-bearer-now-what/#findComment-1971687 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max_Dammit Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 He is just my GH with powerfist, I'v painted a veteran GH logo on it so its just a center piece with no rules http://members.home.nl/maxdammit/40k/totum.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/167328-standard-bearer-now-what/#findComment-1971763 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vassakov Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Actually, a Great Company Banner (may be taken by a Wolf Guard) functions as a Chapter Banner, as detailed in C:SM. Basically, it gives rerolls to failed morale/pinning checks within 12", gives +1 to combat resolution and gives +1 attack to all models in the unit. And it can be taken by TDA. So, take 4 WGBG in TDA, tool them up for CC, give them pelts, a beardy character and this little trick, pod them next to a Deathwing Command Squad - and dare them to charge. I make that 2 base, +1 for 2 CC's, +2 for a successful Counter Attack and +1 for the Banner. 6 Attacks each, hitting on 3's. Give them claws to reroll, just cause you can. And watch them cry.

Grey Mage Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I just use him as a normal GH with Bolter and CCW.... my opponent is informed that its just a pretty conversion before the game, and we play on.

Lord Howland Greywolf Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Note that it says any wolf guard. Stick it in a blood claw squad. OOOH that sounds like fun.

Leonaides Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 For Ale's sake - dont chop the standard off!!!!! Not till you've seen your new codex. (I havent so I'm not acting with insider knowledge here - just worldweary pessimism). What do you do if you chop up your nice standard bearer jsut as GW bring out a nice shiney new SW banner rule? Leave him be, paly counts as or just park him on a shelf for a while. When the new codex comes out, then decide whether to keep him or chop him.

When the new codex comes out, then decide whether to keep him or chop him. Agreed, PFed wolves are a dime a dozen. Rules or no rules, you may just want to represent your company with a banner some time in the future and if there is no rule for it, its a OOP model that will be hard to come by.
