Grimmwulf Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Hello, I really can't decide on what to buy to create a list that fits with the new rules. A quick rundown of what i own: 1 Runepriest ca. 35 Grey Hunter/Bloodclaw, 1 Flamer, 2 Meltas, 2 Plasmaguns and several PFs and PWs 8 Terminators (2 ASSCAN, 2 HF, the others with storm bolters. they all have PFs or PWs) 2 Dreads 4 Scouts with SR, 1 with RL, 4 with Pistol/ccw Longfangs: 4 ML, 2 HB, 2 PC, 1 Lascan, 1 MM 1 Landspeeder with MM, 1 with HB 3 Bikes 1 Land Raider 1 Land Raider Crusader 1 Vindicator 1 Whirlwind 1 Pred Annihilator As you can see my problem is that i do not have any rhinos or drop pods. With the old codex i mainly played 2k points games and the Land raiders + the whirlwind (wich i mostly used as rhino) did the job quite well. Now with all those new shiny models i would like to buy a battleforce (i want to build a wolf lord from it. and more infantry is always handy), Njal, and Termie Box just because i love the models. That leaves me with a little bit of money to invest otherwise. A tactical squad might be a good idea because of the additional special weapons in there. another option would a rhino/razorback or a drop pod. If I want to buy more transports i will have to reduce the number of new stuff i buy. I collect wolves for 3 years or so, but i only ever played a handful of games with them. I kind of put the painting and collecting aspect in the focus. However with the new dex they will hopefully see some more action, i just really have no clue what to make of the models i own/plan to buy. The advice of the more experienced Long Fangs would be much appreciated. Have an ale in advance.

Hrathnar Flintfang Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 That... looks REALLY mechanized to me. How many points is this all together? I would personally change around alot but, well, I think your first task is to assess if you still want/need all the heavy metal. Especially with only one speeder, that thing seems like it would be fragile.

Greyhunter77 Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 I think you have too many upgraded weapons for your WG. Its one upgrade per 5 models. So you'd either need more TDA or have some of your GH/BC squads led by WG in PA. How are you splitting the Long Fangs? and do you have a Pack leader for them? IMHO the LR are expansive to be used as pure transports, but I do like the large size. DP are always good especially as they can carry TDA and we can't deep strike. Njal's good (I've found JotWW is a useful power) and a Wolf Lord upto you if you make up your own or take an existing one. I'd take a look at the new Wolf Pack box as it has enough stuff to make 10 BC or GH or WG in PA. You can see the sprues on GW websitre.

El Scotcho Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 The new battleforce comes with 2 Grey hunter/ Blood Claw boxes, 5 Wolf Scouts, and a drop pod. If it were me, I'd buy some rhinos, Njal, and the termies, and wait on the more infantry. And he's right about all the special weapons for the wolf guard.

Hrathnar Flintfang Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Personally I don't like the pods, because I think you can get more use out of a Rhino. I do agree you should probably rethink the Land raider as a basic transport though. An LRC can be great for toting a lord/RP/other HQ and his buddies around, especially when TDA is involved. However for fewer points you can get a pack of Grey hunters in a rhino with special weapons for less. True that is a softer target, but remember people will gladly jump on a land raider, so there should be a reason behind it. Though if you just like them for fluff reasons, that is fine too.

Grimmwulf Posted October 6, 2009 Author Share Posted October 6, 2009 First of all, thanks for the constructive replies. Of course i also got a pack leader for the long fangs. I usually fielded a mixture of ML and HB. I came up with another possible solution. If i buy Njal, Termies, A Wolf Pack and 2 Rhinos that would be a good compromise i think. that would even leave me the option to add another medium priced box. maybe even one more rhino...

Terrahawk Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 I think you can't go wrong with Rhino(s) and Wolf Pack(s). That is what I ordered today (plus some Termies! ;)). 300th post, thanks for the ale brother!

slmellon Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I played a 2k game Saturday...Annihilate/DoW WLord SS WClaw Runearmor in LRC w 15 BCs w/ PF 2 flamers 2x10 GHs w/ PW melta/plasma in rhinos ven dred w/MM HFlamer LFangs 2xHB, Miss, LC, MM, Pack LDR w/ plasgun in razor w/TLHB Pred w/TLLC & 2 LC LSpeeder w/HB 10 SkyClaws w/PF flamer vs Iron Warriors Ended in a well fought enjoyable DRAW Rhino Rush worked very well given terrain Lord/BC/LRC combo killed good His Dred in Drop Pod was well placed (might have to try that one) Land speeder (used to fill points) did well-killed 2 oblits and 2 termys in 2 turns Im a new fish and all, but keep your pretty (point sinkin) characters on display and fill your opponent with dred---nothing says scary like a Space wolf Horde. Plus Canis might be a unit killer but he can only contest OBJs. Just Food for thought.
