no wolf guard for skyclaws :cuss?

Recommended Posts

i'm looking at the wolf guard(headstrong) rule so i can shoot my bolt pistol on my skyclaws before assults and at first i thouht the 25 pts jump pack seemed a bit steep for 10 more bolt pistol shots and then i re read with pack leaders can go where and notied skyclaws arn't mentioned so im like :), i can understand no wolf guard wanting to take there feet off the ground but while give a wg the option to have a jetpack and not let them lead a skyclaw pack? its the only reason i can see to hav a jump pack on them in the first place???

 

so to get around this i think ill just put a jet pack on a wolf priest and run em that way as the skyclaws are my favorite new thing and hav wanted assult sw's for like 15 years that arn't like 40 pts each, any one else think that skyclaws being left off the wg list being a typo?

 

so to run skyclaws proply u need a wolf priest and that takes a nice chunk of hq points away for my lord points pool

i can see skyclaws being left at home when that uber wolf lord is required and i can see the uber lord being run as a wgbl in most games to get another wp hq in there to babysit skyclaws any one else agree with my ramblings here?

Yes, I agree in all cases. Hopefully errata will fix the WG ommission.

 

You should be putting a WP in that unit anyways. 40 blood claw attacks on the charge that can be rerolled to hit? Nasty business. Plus, the ten you will get from bp shots. That does not even include WP wickedness. Worried about the base two attacks? Give him Warrior Born. You're in business. WP should not be overlooked. He is same stat line as WGBL but one less A, I, and BS but +1 LD. And he provides, fearless and the already mentioned rerolls.

o yeah dont get me wrong the wp in that squrd is sweet, but i was thinking more of a smaller cheaper run unit that isn't a massive rolling wall of death but a quick re-acting stike force that tip's the balence in your favor at certain places on the field and not being less good at it because of headstrong and relised that my proposed solution wasn't even posable and thought it was bloody strange, also what the hell are you going to hit with a 10 man skyclaw squad and not kill it on the assult

Yeah good point, I guess it is overkill. But, what about a 10 woman unit of banshees? Theyre ultimate cheese. I10, pw's... distracting boobs... (they are blood claws...)
