Xtee Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Hello Long Fangs, Wolf Lords, and other pups. I have read the codex at least 30 times now, been reading every thread on here for months and have a question that could use some help. First some history on this pup named Xtee. I Have been playing 40k for about 4-5 years. I originally Played tyranids for my first 2 years. On the third year, I leant my rhino to my friend as his rhino broke down and he both failed his repair roll and did not have an iron priest, (poor man). That night, he was hopped up on a little to much ale, and instead of locking the side hatch on the remote lock, he poped the rear ramp down. Unforunatly beneath my trusty boltgun "Dragon Spit" was my tyranid army. Later that night when the viel of night layed upon it, some dirty orks pilliaged the rhino, leaving me with out said rhino, Dragon Spit, or my army. Feeling so horrible, this packmate of mine, offered to replace all. Luckily the rhino was recovered with out to many "modifications" or lack of previous ones. So he gave me a large amount of money for a new army. I began reading over these ancient scripts for the barbaric and cumbersome game which is used to train us in our enemies mortal weaknesses, weaponry, and tactics. This scripts are called "Codex" I began to look for ones who best mirrored my true being, the one inside of me, one I could bond with and enjoy all the same. I then was forced to relocate from the desert lost world of phoenix, to one very close to my home world of fenris but harsher..North Dakota. While here I had given up hope of a place to continue my tactical training and only read my tactical manuscript codecies. After 8 months, which felt like the first century of my life, I found what I had been looking for, A local training facility!!! My passion was reborn and hope revitalized. I had been infactuated by the space wolves since their existance was planted in my brain. I then began to prepare a force buying rhino's drop pods and tanks waiting for new models. Since then I have accumulated 6 drop pods 2 FW Drop Pods 4 Rhino / razor backs 2 Predetors 3 Land Raiders (magnitized to be all 3) 1 Modified Forge World Ultra Marine Venerable Dreadnaught (to be my bjorn) 3 Regular Dreadnaughts 10 Long Fangs 15 blood claws (regular marines painted to be space wolves) 1 of Every space wolf bitz (1 wolf priest 1 WP in TDA, etc etc) 9 Boxes of Grey Hunters 1 Ravenwing battle force (to be converted) 2 extra attack bikes 2 extra land speeders 6 boxes of scouts 8 Boxes of WG terminators I am overwhelmed at what to build / paint first, and I'm all over the place. I have a 750 pt tournament coming up, and want to use this as my chance to get orginized. I pray to you, please help me figure out what to use so I can finally have an end game / goal I would appreciate it. Right now I see so many options in my head, and in my codex I"m over whelmed. Please help me with guidance, and I am sorry for being a semi-band wagoner, and hope that you forgive me and help train me so I may become a blood claw.

merlonc Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 For a 750 tournament concentrate on 1 HQ and two troop choices first. A Wolf Guard Battle leader with a pack of GH, and then one of blood claws. after that add transports is you like armored assault, either a predator or long fangs for heavy weapons and then look for a nice neat toy like a lone wolf or a small bike squad. It really depends on your preferred choice of mayhem. But the WGBL, GH and BC pack is a solid no mattter which way you go from there.

Alright, now do you sugest , running 10 man GH in Rhino? or just foot slog and get a razor back for cheap AT? I LOVE the concept of a lone wolf, and although I am FAR from being a good writer or creative at all, I plan on writing indepth sagas for the 1 or 2 I will field. I also love the way MOTW is (fluff wise) It really makes me happy.

I would go 10 GH in rhino with Pwr fist-2xMG-Wolfen, BC on foot 15 with Pwrfist-flamers, WGBL with frost blade, Lone wolf TDA+Thunderhammer+Stormshield, Speeder. You can grab objectives with the GH in Rhino and followup with the BC+WGBL, the speeder can harass and contest, the lone wolf hunts big nasties and characters. Against hordes you have 35 marines to smack them with. For fast shooty Tau or eldar hunt the vehicles with the GH's while the BC grab and hold an objective. Against IG with Tanks rush the GH and lonewolf up fast and have BC follow using cover and the GH Rhino to cut down on shots.

That being said, Im sure a 750pt list wont be to hard out of all this. Rune Priest- Stormcaller and Tempests Wraith- 100pts. 10x GH- 2xMeltagun, PF, Rhino- 215pts. 5x GH- Flamer, PF, Razorback, TLLC- 175pts. Landspeeder- Multimelta-60pts Predator Destructor- Heavy Bolters-85pts. 5 Long Fangs- 4x ML- 115pts. 750pts. Is what I would propose. Rune Priest is there to give you some protection and clamp down on highly mobile armies like tau and eldar *via tempests wrath*. Remember that neither of those powers require LOS anymore. Landspeeder outflanks and tank hunts.... simple. Destructor adds some heavier armor to the list and gives you some anti-horde capabilities that are further backed up by up to 4 frag templates from the LFs. Should do fine wittling down orks with that. Scoring units in transports.... works out alright, if a little body light for my tastes. 2 scoring units, 1 HQ, 8 KPs. Not bad at all.

Grey Mage Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Doing the math from his own post Im going to say it was a typo and he meant 25 marines Xtee.

My bad 25 marines. I used basic landspeeder (50), WBGL was only 95 pts (cheap) and no standard. You can either drop the typhoon to a basic speeder+MM or drop the banner and MM from the typhoon. It depends if you want more gear on your WGBL.
