Does Anybody else hate the Terms "Wolfwing" and "Loganwing"?

 

I can't help to imagining a Fenrisian Wolf/Logan wear tiny little plastic wings on his back when i hear those terms,

 

Wings are for guys in dresses and pink little fairies. And Birds. Maybe for Demons and Tyranids. A Space Wolf would eat all of those for breakfast while trimming his beard with the other hand but he still has no wings. Why not call it a WGT (Wolf Guard Terminator) Army or something like that.

Is there something I am missing, if a unit takes a DT, don't they have to be deployed in the DT at the start of the battle? If so, a RB cannot hold WG in TDA....

 

No the only stipulation for Dedicated Transports is that the only squad that can deploy in them at the start of the battle is the squad they were purchased for, if they can. After deployment, the transport can then taxi any unit in the army, provided the squad fits and aren't restricted in any way (i.e. TDA in a Razorback).

 

The requirement that a squad number x models or be only in y armor to purchase a transport no longer exists.

 

For example, I have a squad of 15 blood Claws. They are allowed to purchase a Rhino or Razorback, but they cannot deploy in it because they will not fit. I deploy them. First turn, I can embark say, a Long Fangs squad of 6 inside, and zoom off, while the Blood Claws have to footslog it forward.

 

Similar principle. Wolf Guard can purchase any transport allowed in their entry, at the points specified, and if for any reason they cannot embark or deploy inside (too large a squad, or TDA), then they must start the battle on foot. Purchasing a Razorback for a Wolf Guard pack in TDA is just a way to get cheap firepower, and it's clever.

I'm sorry but your wagging your tale over a Dark Angel ability. A WHOLE TERMINATOR army will always be a Deathwing thing. You cannot change that. Hell it's even DA FLUFF that they rather have their vets go in battle with the top stuff. It's like Dark Angels riding Lions into battle. I'm sure you SW players in all fairness would be pissed.

 

DA are pissed as it is. Just be apperciative that your codex wasn't the "test dex" for Space Marines or every army will be BBQ your wolves and eating you for breakfest. Now your army does indeed kickass enjoy it, and stop talking smack on underpowered armies. The nids are due next... so you should take that back my friend.

 

Since... you wanna declare Dark Angels wearing dress's and being pink little fairies. Well have your Wolf guard join the club :HQ: wearing dress's in battle. Give your wolves some wings too lol. Hey don't blame me... blame GW they gave you the Dark Angel/DW ability man. So just get use to having a "Wolfwing" themed army its ok ;)

Hey mate i did not mean to offend anyone. And i do not have anything against Dark Angels, really. It is just that i am really not comfortable with those names people came up with. I mean a title that includes "Wing" fits much better to an chapter that has "angels" in its name than to the "wolves", don't you think?

Hehe. Hey, mate. No taking offense here, it's the Fang. Not our fault we got your ability upgrades, armor and weapon upgrades, point upgrades, and rule upgrades. And why would a Wolf Guard wear dresses into battle, unless a DA was running him? Even then, apparently it's still a DA army, from what I'm told.

 

 

Although Wulf, we try to avoid the "Dress-wearing" bit, since the DA seem to hop over here and get offended that we're talking in our own forum. Just don't give them the bait to go all emo on us, and you'll be fine.

You're using the word 'wing' in the wrong context, here; it's also a commonly used term in the military, in architecture and in sports.

Stop brewing up a storm Decoy, it's not needed and you should know better than that by now.

I saw a 7 man Wing at 750 points decimate a chaos warband, they did alright vs. Guard too. He used Arjac which cost him a couple of bodies on the ground but he did well.

 

I'm not too sure I like te prospect though, it seems to be stepping on the DA's toes a bit too much so unless our fluff for the reason is aweseom I shall visit the DA to play a Terminator force.
