questions about the dex


the great beaver

Recommended Posts

okay...in kill points...do you think each wolf guard who is split off from the wolf guard pack gives a kill point to your enemy like split up marine squads do?

 

storm caller....does it affect models who are within 6inches when the spell is cast or do units have to stay within 6 inches to keep the benefit

 

did you notice that wolf guard can take frost blades in terminator armour but wolf lords and wolf guard bodyguards can't? I hope that's an over sight.

A few more questions about the new dex:

 

With the changes in OBEL, can more then one scout squad use this ability?

 

Can Fenrisian Wolves still be taken as retinue/wargear for an HQ?

 

are our dreadnought prices in line with C:SM?

 

Does MoTW still have the drawback of being hit by the enemy on 3's, is the price the same?

 

Coming in at over 200 points Ragnar and Njarl can still be ID'd?

 

Prices for the sagas?

 

 

My apologies if the question on point costs is agains forum rules, I just haven't heard about the price range for them.

See page 1 of this thread: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...howtopic=172982

 

It has all the information known until the new Dex arrives in stores. It is NOT complete, but close enough to consider a working copy. If your questions are not covered by the information there, keep asking. However, as far as uber-specifics, you are going to have to wait like the rest of us until it is in your hands.

Yeah, hoping they fix the WL in termie armor and FB thing. Makes no sense. However, I wasn't planning on fielding a WL in T armor. The nonsense of it just miffs me.

 

I agree. I guess If I wanted to use the Runic armour instead to get the Frostblade and do a counts as. My guy is in Terminator armour.

 

*Edit*

 

Looking at it again, the WGBL has the same problem. It might be by design?

About the Frost Blade and Terminator Armour issue, this may be by design as I think the Codex Space Marines Chapter Master/Company Captain does not have the option to take a Relic Blade when in Terminator Armour.

 

So, it might just be a hang over from that, or some other mythical Games Workshop logic, which is far beyond the ken of us mere mortals!

A few more questions about the new dex:

 

With the changes in OBEL, can more then one scout squad use this ability?

i believe so. i do not think that there is a restriction on this

Can Fenrisian Wolves still be taken as retinue/wargear for an HQ?

only for ragnar iirc, but then again i never take them so i dont look for them

are our dreadnought prices in line with C:SM?

for the most part yes, and you can give your dread a wtn!

Does MoTW still have the drawback of being hit by the enemy on 3's, is the price the same?

nope! you get d6+1 attacks and they are rending

Coming in at over 200 points Ragnar and Njarl can still be ID'd?

yes. they do not have eternal, only logan does. but in combat correctly with ragnar this will not matter, and i would suggest keeping nyjal away from combat anway

Prices for the sagas?

iirc they are all 35, but i may be wrong about that

A few more questions about the new dex:

All Wolf Scout packs get the new BEL ability (so you could have all three Elite choices taken up by Wolf Scouts (30 total Scouts!) that have the new version of BEL).

 

 

Since we are on the subject of Wolf Scouts, here is some more for you:

 

Size of Pack 5-10 + Wolf Guard Pack Leader (optional)

 

All can get Melta-bombs

Up to two can trade their Bolt Pistol for a Power Sword or Plasma Pistol

One can take a Flamer, or Meltagun, or Plasma gun, or Heavy Bolter, or Missile Launcher

One can take the Mark of the Wulfen (very cool!)

Any can trade Bolt Pistol and/or CCW for a Boltgun or Sniper Rifle

 

Still a great unit,

storm caller....does it affect models who are within 6inches when the spell is cast or do units have to stay within 6 inches to keep the benefit

 

its 24"!

 

that's tempest's wrath...I'm talking about storm caller where all models within 6inches gains a 5+cover save.

Beaver,

 

I believe the units have to be within 6" (e.g. at least one model from the unit), when they are called upon to take saves in order to receive the benefit of Storm Caller's cover save.

 

Valerian

i want to say it is 24 for storm caller also

 

Nope. It's 6".

 

Can any of the HQ choices take Jump Packs?

 

Yes

 

Also if a Wolf Priest takes Saga of the Hunter, is that also applied to a unit he is attached to?

 

No

Posted this elsewhere and I don't see why not but can you take a squad of wolf guard and equip them all with jump packs for an uber jump pack squad? Or does it specify that they have to be attached to Skyriders if equipped with jump packs?

 

I'm thinking of planetstrike and lots of wolf guard deploying by jump pack.

You can but it'd be über expensive. Over forty points a model and that's if you don't switch out the weapons or buy any other upgrades!
