Hfran Morkai Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I know it says in our FAQ (on here at least) that we are allowed to use the storm, however I'm concerned that when our new dex comes out it won't be deemed wolfy enough. And I liberated an idea from someone on here of using a storm in the Suppression force because the wolf scouts would make it deadly to assault, I would probably support it with another couple of loaded storms and possibly some normal speeders. However if we can't take it in our dex I could say that it is an allied transport that just happens to have the same colours as space wolves, however someone suggested that if I were to take it as an allied unit I should only be able to put 'nilla scouts in the speeder. What's your opinion on this? I know I should probably wait until the new codex but I really want to go ahead and get my first speeder. Cheers.

LPetersson Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Hmmm, depends on whterh you are talking Apocalypse or normal games. If it's Apocalypse, go for it, anythng goes and the FOC has been defenestrated. If it's normal games, then you'd need a second army as a detachment to use it, unless there are some other 'allies rule' that has been introduced...

Yeah should have clarified it would be for apocalypse, sounds like a plan! Because no-one wants to assault three speeders full of tooled up wolfy scouts, do they?

Toasterfree Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 a little off topic, does anyone really WANT to assualt a tooled up wolfy unit? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/176793-land-speeder-storm/#findComment-2089974 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bran Scalphunter Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 a little off topic, does anyone really WANT to assualt a tooled up wolfy unit? The only one I've ever seen was a 30 strong Slugga Boy Mob, with Klaw Nob. *shudders* So many attacks... so terrible... :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/176793-land-speeder-storm/#findComment-2090206 Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can currently use wolf scouts in a C:SM storm because our scouts say they are scouts in their profile... this may change in the new codex. At the moment if you allied it in you certainly could, and Id think a person was a d*3$#aG if they said you couldnt put scout armor in it.... as its likely theyd allow GKTDA in a Valkyrie.

Sort of what I was thinking, the allie units that just happen to look like space wolves also just happened to have a few storms with no scouts, therefore why not use all available resources? However I'm really hoing they're actually in the codex so there's no grey area and I think it could fit in with what they're saying, wolves are a mobile army and "descend from the skies" Cheers.

Grey Mage Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Yeah, that would be a fairly intellegent idea. Besides, while ground pounders make excellant scouts it never hurts to get them where theyre to be looking very fast indeed.

Hfran Morkai Posted August 25, 2009 Author Share Posted August 25, 2009 I just love the model and would like a task force of scouts lurking with the spotter speeder for my whirlwinds whilst trying to deter various scum from blowing it up Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/176793-land-speeder-storm/#findComment-2090455 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Mage Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Eh, worst case scenario you convert it into a different landspeeder or it becomes terrain... or in 10 years when they update the codex again we might get it that time around. Id say buy it and enjoy. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/176793-land-speeder-storm/#findComment-2090495 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florida Gator Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 yeah i agree with GM, i mean against close friends you shouldnt have many problems playing it anyway. If its not in the new codex... don't bring it to tournaments ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/176793-land-speeder-storm/#findComment-2091782 Share on other sites More sharing options...
