AcidBurn Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 fear not brother, go and lick your wounds and get back in there, remember "NEVER GIVE UP, NEVER SURRENDER!" or just steal his army and throw it in the nearest pond mwahahaaha lets see the dark angels cope with that. (realy dont do that ist mean and if someone did it to my army i would cry) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/181374-sorry-brothers-i-failed-you/#findComment-2147155 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lokkan Of The Long Hall Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 I wouldn't worry to much brother. I played my mates Salamanders last Thursday and got smashed to an embarrassing degree. I put it down to a- my first time using drop pods and playing the new rules, and b- my appalling deployment and tactics. Although Ragnar chewed up combat squads, he got shot. The new codex has a completely different feel to it, but we shall have our revenge.

Hrathnar Flintfang Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Well first, instead of double posting you can always hit edit. Usually a better choice, unless you double posted and just decided to make the best of it by asking. Anyways on to the actual topic at hand. First of all, it would help ot see your army list. I can already tell you though that Logan and Ragnar both is rarely a good idea. One of them maybe if you base the army around tactics that such a wolf lord will help specifically or if you are playing their specific great company, but point cost does not equate to how valuable a unit is, just how expensive they are. Just remember though its a new dex, and its going to take many players on both sides time to adjust. Its our greatest strength and weakness right now. your opponent may have known what your new wolves could do better than you which is a problem for you.

HERO Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 sorry for double posting. so i forgot to ask : should this happen??? because points wise they should of killed azral easily. In the two games I've played with Ragnar, he has died both times. The first game, he died to a Force Weapon (4th ed. DH) and in the second game, he died to a Dreadnought. That's what happens when you don't have Eternal Warrior :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/181374-sorry-brothers-i-failed-you/#findComment-2147184 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorn Posted October 11, 2009 Author Share Posted October 11, 2009 @ HERO yeah he should have it, but then he would cost even more. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/181374-sorry-brothers-i-failed-you/#findComment-2147198 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uthred Ragnarson Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 fear not brother, go and lick your wounds and get back in there, remember "NEVER GIVE UP, NEVER SURRENDER!"or just steal his army and throw it in the nearest pond mwahahaaha lets see the dark angels cope with that.

fearlessgod Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Sorry to hear of the loss. You'll get him next time! BTW, Ragnar did not die, he was only wounded slightly and will live to avenge this minor set back. :D ~fearlessgod~ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/181374-sorry-brothers-i-failed-you/#findComment-2147205 Share on other sites More sharing options...

the great beaver Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 look the new dex is actually harder to use than the old one...we have less power weapons to be able to quickly decimate anything in CC. you really have to maximize your short ranged firefight (SRFF) to be able to have the same results as we used to get. this gets hard to do vs armies like dark angels but it still must be done. they've turned our dex into what it was always supposed to be: the deadly hunter, not the mad berzerker. keep your army together and assault with multiple squads into single ones...try to never go 1:1 against anything that's even remotely as good as you in CC and even against shooty marine chapters...you have to thin them out before assaulting so you don't get held up in CC for too long because all of our troop units have the double duty of assaulting and holding objectives and can't waste time in long drawn out combats. stay mobile, pick your fights and always use your heavy weapons against targets in this order 1)enemy transports 2)enemy heavy weapon targets 3)anything else. that way you keep them immobile and keep yourself mobile. good luck brother!
