Hrathnar Flintfang Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Well I have a first incarnation of the list I plan on using to build other lists on Here and I am on the fence about how to spend the last 150 points needed to hit the 2000 mark. Yes I know 1850 is an odd 'base' list but that is what happened to my old list when it went though the update. Its not that I don't have tons of options, because I really do. The only problem I am having is settling on one. I want something I can use to strengthen my army in a plethera of situations, especially since such an investment is going to be made over a long period of time. Don't exactly have alot of money to throw around, so whatever I get has to count. Part of me is thinking about trying speeders and a lone wolf, but I could also go towards a set of Wolf cav. Open to any suggestions. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/180687-how-to-fill-150-points/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Mage Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 10 Grey Hunters with 2 Flamers. And done. Seriously, you need another scoring unit in there... and thats the best way to do it- and the cheapest.

RedMoon Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 i really dont think 1850 is an odd number lol that is pretty standard tourny size. it really depends on what you have in your list. really i usually add in more anti tank myself.

Hrathnar Flintfang Posted October 6, 2009 Author Share Posted October 6, 2009 Heh yeah I suppose you are right. I just get so obsessed with 'how can I reap my foe to the man' that I forget most missions actually have objectives. Gives me incentive to ask for a box of the new bitz for Christmas though. Actually... scratch that, I think I'll just save up for it myself and save christmas for a few tubes of real green stuff. Mighty putty my furry wolf butt... i really dont think 1850 is an odd number lol that is pretty standard tourny size. it really depends on what you have in your list. really i usually add in more anti tank myself. Part of me wants to, but I think GM is right. Besides I have all those melta bombs, and a melta on a bike. Adding more anti tank before going to 2500 seems kinda... I don't know, a waste of the other expenditures. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/180687-how-to-fill-150-points/#findComment-2139368 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forseti Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 I'd say more troops..2000pts and you have an 11 and 5 man squad, any missions that require objectives will be hard for you. And your Grey hunter squad is illegal btw, they get a 2nd special weapon only at 10men..you have 5 with a melta and flamer. Personally I'd also drop the storm bolter on the wolf lord, take a pistol so you can get the +1 attack for blade+pistol. Also your TDA wolf guard, you can take 1 heavy weapon for every 5 WG..you have 10 WG and 3 Heavies (Flamer,AC,Cyclone). I'd make the WG a bit cheaper, drop the razorback and try and take 2 10man GH squads w/ rhinos/pods. (up the 5man to 10{9 if you're sticking with WG leaders} and make a 2nd pack) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/180687-how-to-fill-150-points/#findComment-2139370 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedMoon Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 ahh didnt know what your list was lol if that is all the troop you have then i definitely agree that the squad of grey hunters would be the way to go lol Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/180687-how-to-fill-150-points/#findComment-2139376 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can get on board with the pistol, and I suppose in my zeal I forgot to double check what I was spending on. I think if I shift the razorback to a rhino that more or less pays for the second rhino on its own, and may even free up a few points. drop the cyc for perhaps another set of Wolf Claws to add another 10, and then I could have a 9 man squad with wolf guard and a 10 man squad for my GH, then let the TDA BC leader stay where he is.

Hrathnar Flintfang Posted October 6, 2009 Author Share Posted October 6, 2009 Well... I took the advice given here... and came up with the Exact same problem! Please refer to the New List which is honestly looking a bit better. Somehow I cut enough superfluous crap to buy myself a whole third squad of troops.... so I'm back where I started. What kind of thing should I be looking at with the 150 points since its too small for a long fang pack?

Forseti Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Hmmm, if the Blood Claws are footslogging, I'd either up their numbers or maybe take a pack of wolves to use as cover.I'm unable to get exact points atm but you should atleast be able to get a full Long Fang pack with 5x Missile Launchers. Either would be good I guess. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/180687-how-to-fill-150-points/#findComment-2139424 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hrathnar Flintfang Posted October 6, 2009 Author Share Posted October 6, 2009 Actually yes, in a rhino, with the leader toting a flamer. That would actually work out really well. Not a razorback mind you, but it gets the job done.

Lord Howland Greywolf Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Vindicator Draws fire from the land raider, S10 AP2 goodness, And can blow any AV14 vehicles with ease. and then I would spend the rest of the points getting more bloodclaws.

Maximus-92 Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 you could afford a squad of long fangs pack leader heavy bolters x3 missle launchers x2 125 points anti horde goodness. still 25 left over. Maybe rebuy some of that superflous crap or maybe a blood claw or two.

Toasterfree Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 you could replace one of those HBs and go for a lascan. or plasma. LF is what i look to sometimes to chew some points, but i think a pack of GH maybe dual plasma as a home obj saver.

Hrathnar Flintfang Posted October 6, 2009 Author Share Posted October 6, 2009 I've never considered giving long fangs heavy bolters a good idea. The range is just too short, they need to be as far away from everything dangerous as they can be. I think I'm going to stick with them all getting ML for now, maybe get a vindicator and upgrade the rhino to a razorback at 2500 points.

Toasterfree Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 HBs are vastly underrated. they have been game breakers for me in a lot of cases. that extra wound that they cause, even if its a save makes a difference. yes a missile can kill a marine dead. just one. but a HB can kill the same marine, and maybe one or two more.

Hrathnar Flintfang Posted October 6, 2009 Author Share Posted October 6, 2009 Frankly I'm not really that worried about killing troops dead with these boys. My intrest is anti-tank. If they can take two pot-shots at tanks each turn that will be enough for me. I have plenty of anti-troop right now.
