wiplash Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 okay this may have been asked before, and if so i apologise :) i am currently making my army (eventually) so every now and again i check to the codex as for what i can and can't take. 1. i was planning on giving some wolf guard jet packs, because i hade some spare packs and some running legs and stuff but then i come to find that technically wolf guard can't have them :s because if i want a squad of them i have to use wgbg right? but then only wolf guard can take jump packs so no-one can be attached to lead the squad so can a wolf guard leader/seargent (the 30pt one) lead a sqaud of wolf guard bodyguards? or does he not qualify as a character who can have a body guard? (i dont want to have blood claw jet packers because they are sooo over priced and i dont have enough models :() the only way that i can see this working is if i have a character on a bike and have a squad of jetpackers behind him ;) but that just wouldn't make sense!! 2. can an iron priest take a wolf guard bodyguard or can he only take thralls? thanks in advance wiplash Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/170568-wolf-guard-question/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPetersson Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 1) The only Wolf Guard that can take a Jump Pack is the Wolf Guard Pack Leader the leads a unit of Blood Claw Jump Pack troops. No WGBGs can take them. 2) since it's not listed as an option, no he can't take WGBGs. Only thralls.

Vassakov Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 There is (currently) no way to get Jump Packs into a SW army outside of the (extremely overpriced and mediocre) Blood Claws Assault Pack. So, it's got to be 3 BC's with Jump Packs + a Pack Leader with Jump Pack. No other units may take them, as we fight on foot "as Russ intended" (though Drop Pods are apparently fine... :lol: ) Only thing an Iron Priest can get is Thralls, the original servitors... amazing how much stuff has been pilfered from us by those Ultramsmurfish wannabes over the years...

So, it's got to be 3 BC's with Jump Packs + a Pack Leader with Jump Pack. No other units may take them, as we fight on foot "as Russ intended" (though Drop Pods are apparently fine... :huh: ) From 3 to 8 Blood Claws + Pack Leader, not just 3. I'm sure everyone knows this, but I'm clarifying this just for completeness. Also, 30 points each is a bit steep, however, they still get Berserk Charge, up to 3 Power Fists (including the one on the WGPL) and can still get a Flamer. If you can get them to their target, Blood Claws with Jump Packs are still a very formidable unit. The only thing they really need, but don't have, is access to Frag and Krak Grenades.

Ryzouken Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Thought they got frags in the swap for their bikes... And you could sell/trade the packs to some unfortunate Smurf. eBay, Bartertown, FLGS consignment case... lots of options abound for offloading unwanted bits.

Valerian Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Thought they got frags in the swap for their bikes... No, they get a secondary weapon in the trade from bikes to jump packs (so one extra attack) but no grenades.

Roguemarine Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 I have to say, short of buying bikes is more expensive in $ than getting guys with JP's. It better to let them keep the bike for T5 :-\ really hope they make the JPBC's worthwile in the new book, i only have about 30 of them sitting around collecting dust Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/170568-wolf-guard-question/#findComment-2015262 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WG Vrox Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 really hope they make the JPBC's worthwile in the new book, i only have about 30 of them sitting around collecting dust That's my advice, just hold on to them until the new dex, it may very well be worth taking JP packs again.
