Dakka Longfangs?

[maligncomedy]

So like it says guys I was skimming through the codex then I noticed something kinda ridiculous. Dakka Long Fangs. What the Hell. So let me get this right, I can pack 5 Heavy Bolters, 1 Plasma gun and Either a Twinlinked Heavy Bolter or Assault Cannon in one squad. That seems kinda overkill. Quick rundown:

 

@36"

 

5 Heavy Bolters

1 Twinlinked Heavy Bolter (via Razorback if using that form)

 

will fire, so thats roughly 15 shots of S 5 AP 4 death (Possibly 3 more with re-rolls to hit if u took the heavy bolter razorback)

 

 

@24"

 

5 Heavy Bolters

1 Plasma gun

1 Twin-linked Assault Cannon or 1 Twin Linked Heavy Bolter

 

will fire, so that gives you 15 shots of S 5 AP 4 deah, 1 shot of S 7 AP 2 death (2 shots if no movement), and possibly either (3x S 5 AP 4 shots with re-roll to hit) or (4x S 6 AP 4 Rending) death.

 

 

^That being said, I believe the Razorback can add a Stormbolter to the mix as well. Talk about serious weight of fire. I was not expecting that of the Wolves.

Id rather have 5 missile launchers an a pack leader, but thats just me.

Yes of course. Personally, I see Missile Launchers as a much more efficient weapon. The ability to adapt/change thanks to variable ammunition is something I strongly value. I was just posting as to say that its surprising how much weight of fire you can pack in. Might be ideal for dealin with Storm Shield/Thunder Hammer termies though.

For Wound allocation I tend to attach a WG Terminator to the Long Fangs.

Not neccesarily with heavy wepon .

A Cyclone launcher would not hurt , but this gets the points up real quick.

 

A Razorback is a easy to get Killpoint imo

Or give the Wolf guard just get a cheap combi plasma or a storm bolter. Not that expensive and still more 24" dakka.

Overkill, but very handy against bugs.

In a recent game my 5 HBs hurt just about anything that came within range.

Even Carnifexes didn't like 15 heavybolter shots...

[Wolf Guard Hengist]

I cant wait to field them, I've gone for 4 HB's and a lascannon to snipe transports, MC's etc. Oh and a Wolf Guard for wound allocation and extra dakka/slasha.

 

Heres what I'm working on at the minute.

EDIT:- I have enough Wolfy and Devastator parts to make one of each heavy weapon in the future too.

[El Scotcho]

Yeah thats a :D ton of firepower. I personally prefer rocket launchers(I refuse to call them missiles, because every time I do I miss, oh crap there I go again) or lascannons, rockets for the versatility, lascannons for anti armor.

[Toasterfree]

i mix, i have two las two heavy and one missile in my LF pack. but i have the ability to do 2 plasma and 1 MM also

[Vlk]

I'm going to keep them cheap... 2HBs and 2MLs, perhaps a LC if I want to take 6 Long Fangs. A Razorback might be useful, too.

[grot]

for some reason i keep getting drawn to the SW Fire dragon Version

 

1 PL with MG

4 LF with MM

RB

 

165 pts

 

i dont know why but it feels right to me :confused:

[Oldenhaller]

take five, pop them with logan in a drop pod and they can have relentless every turn for moving and firing multimelta madness!!!

[Chucku]

I run two LF packs. Alpha has a squad leader, 2 HB, 2 LC and a WG in TDA with Cyclone Missile Launcher. Bravo has a squad leader, 3 HB and 2 LC.
