Help needed for making Armylist...

[Draketh Firewind]

Well I'm in a bit of a problem, with the old codex I'd just go alright I want this, this and then this and that's what I took. It was all I needed I felt no need to paly around with my list but now....now I'm confused as hell with all the choices this new codex presents. ;) I mean I've started basing it off my old army so three drop pods and going from there....I've done that part getting my wolf guard, grey hunter, etc all put up but it's this last like 200 points that I have no idea where to go with like I feel the need to put forth a second headquarters but then I have no safe place to put him unless I take out something else or if I should put in more stuff bodies for those last 200 points....

 

And so I look to you men of the great fang! I am in need of guidence in this new times of ours! But first I must tell you I do not trust the spirit of the machine, those blasted tanks have always brought a curse upon my forces in every battle I have fielded them so please to not suggest I take them.

 

Here is a list of my current forces and right now I'm not sure if I should switch out Njal for a normal Rune priest in terminator armour and then get my second headquarters or if I should just leave him be and

probably as my only headquarter.

 

Headquarters:

Njal, Stormcaller: 270

-Runic Terminator Armour

 

Elites:

6 Wolf guard: 359

Transport: Drop Pod

Wolf Guard 1

-Terminator Armour, Pair of Wolf Claws

Wolf Guard 2

-Terminator Armour, Pair of Wolf Claws

Wolf Guard 3

-Terminator Armour, Assault Cannon, Power fist

Wolf Guard 4

-Terminator Armour, Thunder Hammer, Storm Shield

Wolf Guard 5

-Storm Bolter, Power fist

Wolf Guard 6

-Storm Bolter, Power fist

 

Troops:

9 Grey Hunters: 195

Transport: Drop Pod

-Power weapon, Flamer, Wolf Standard

9 Grey Hunters: 195

Transport: Drop Pod

-Power weapon, Flamer, Wolf Standard

 

Fast Attack:

5 Swiftclaws: 165

-Power Weapon, Meltabombs

5 Sky Claws: 105

-Power Weapon

 

Total: 1289

 

A little thing also first the two storm bolter, PF WG will be split off from the WG and assigned to the two Grey hunter squads in drop pods. and Njal will of course be heading into the drop pod with the rest of the WG.

 

EDIT: Also this is meant to be a 1500 limit list so yeah just making sure so people don't mistake it for a 2k list.

I have my first game tomorrow and I have no idea what I am going to field.... too many cool new options.... woe is me! Maybe a drink of ale will bring some inspiration!

Good list! You can win with that.

 

So far my strategy is to stick with basic stuff until until I understand all the capabilities and combos, trying new things over time. Besides, our basic stuff is very sexy, and very cheap.

 

My one strong recommendation is to bulk up on troops. For 1500 points, I'd add one more squad of Grey Hunters.

 

If you don't have the models for that, then how about a (about 100) point unit of scouts with melta?

 

The skyclaws won't be able to shoot before charging without an IC with a jump-pack to lead them, due to Headstrong. On the other hand, 5 bolt pistol shots won't be missed. But I would absolutely give one of these the Mark of Wulfen, since you *know* they will be in h2h.

 

I'm a big fan of MoW for GH and Skyclaws. Try it out!
