Fellblades Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Brothers, the Fellblade Wolves are slated to deploy against the vile xenos Tau later today, however they are in a little of a dilemma. Having never faced Tau before, and not sure what the opponents force consists of, Wolf Lord Jurrn has to decide which elements of his force to deploy into the somewhat limited drop zone. The Company currently consists of: (okay, 1250 point game against Tau, never played this guy or tau in general before, dont know what hes bringing, what should I bring) Ven Dread- either DCCW/AC or ML/TLLC RP- Frost Blade + BP +CotS WL-Frost Blade + BP WP- PW + BP +HPaB 6 Scouts w/ 2 PWs, 3 shottys, 1 melta gun, meltabombs Iron Clad Dread - Any config Blood Claw Pack - 10 claws, 2 PW, flamer Blood Claw Pack - 10 claws, 2 PW, flamer Grey Hunters - 10 GHs, 2 PW, melta (can switch out PW for PF if need be) Grey Hunters - 10 GHs, 2 PW, melta (can switch out PW for PF if need be) 4 Wolf Guard in PA w/ PF +BP or bolter Attack Bikes x2 - Multimeltas Dakka Pred - Autocannon and HB spoonsoons Whirlwind 4 Rhinos So what force should the wolves deploy???

Fellblades Posted July 22, 2009 Author Share Posted July 22, 2009 Please post lists and questions about a particular list in the Space Wolf List section of the forums. I wasnt sure if a question like this belonged in that forum, as it was not a specific army list build. But if the mods see fit, please move this to the Army List forum Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/174045-list-mash-up/#findComment-2057259 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacefrisian Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 2 Basic HQ's i tend to use are.. Runepriest 105 points & Wolfguard Battleleader 85 points: both have: Forstblade, boltpistol, wolfpelt, frags. 4 sw couts: meltagun 10 Greyhunter: -Rhino, powerfist, powerweapon, plasmagun, bolters 8 Bloodclaws: -Rhino, powerfist, powrweapon, flamer 6 Greyhunters: -Meltagun, powerfist, powerweapon, Razorback Vindicator This gets me to roughly 1000 points so that leaves some room for you to add/change some stuff. Its a basic list if you ask me wich fares well against multiple opponents, no matter what they take.

I was hoping for people to make suggestions out of the selections in the first post.

bareserker Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Make sure you O.B.E.L those scouts and they are vehicle killers as well as troop killers.

Forseti Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Personally Id go for: whirlwind 2 attack bikes- multimeltas 9 bloodclaws in rhino 9 bloodclaws in rhino 6 scouts - melta daka pred 10 grey hunters in rhino this should leave about 200-250 if i remember right for HQs Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/174045-list-mash-up/#findComment-2057295 Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlyInDeath Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Forseti has got a good suggested list. You just dont wanna go for footsloggy against tau, as they have str5 weaps w/ long range, and will mow you down pretty quickly. Like necrons, they excell at shooting, are awful at close combat. You will definately want to meltabomb those scouts up, as it will allow them to take down any devilfish or hammerheads (hammers being priority targets) that are sitting back. Other than that, a 4+ save means HB's will score autokills as will the whirlwind, and sustained bolter fire should maul up the units pretty bad. That said, be careful about killing any lil dudes in robes too early in the game (ethereal) as it will make all the units take a Ld test on his side. Any that pass get preferred enemy (tho any that fail will run, which is nice), and that kind of cuts down on your advantage in CC.

Ikken Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I would add a WGPL to your scout squad with a power fist . and a plasma pistol maybe . that scout squad will be a true killer unit on tau . I faced tau a few weeks ago , and my scout unit accounted for half my kills . they arrived turn 3 and just started killing everything . it was a glorious thing to see .
