Prototype Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 The number of options is kinda overload for a new player like myself, so I want to ask, what are you guys taking? I was personally thinking of taking a WL with two Wolf Claws on a Thunderwolf (like Canis), but with a different Saga to make him more power armor-friendly, and a Wolf Priest in power armor. Many Thanks Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/181720-what-are-you-guys-taking-for-your-hq-choices/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wing_Knight Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Well pretty sure this has been discussed a few times but I currently have been running a WL on thunderwolf with one wolf claw and a storm shield with the saga of the bear. I also tend to field a terminator rune priest and stick him in with my long fangs.

Grey Mage Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Rune Priests and Wolf Lords first *wich is odd, because they were always my last before* Followed by a Wolf Priest A Rune Priest And maybe a WGBL.

Evilmerlin Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 A Rune Priest most of the time followed by a Wolf Lord. Wolf Priest only if I'm bringing a bunch of Bloodclaws or Sky Claws.

Jonas Stromclaw Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Jumppacking wolf priest to keep the skyclaws in line then in larger point battles a rune armor ss/thammer wolf lord with saga of bear or warrior born depending on the hostile. He looks deceptively small in the middle of all his tda wolf guard. My tau buddy, thinking it was my old WGBL and after gunning down all but 1 body guard, laughed and tossed in his shas'o and company to assault. The look on his face was most amusing when my "itsy bitsy wolf" (his words) crumped 4 out of 5 with pf terminator taking the fifth.

dudelord Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I always field a WGBL. I don't like WL cause the idea of the head of a Great Company leading a measly 1,500 pt army to battle doesn't quite make sense to me. I normally only play 1,500 pts so saving it on the WGBL helps. With the Thunder Cav I take a WGBL with FB and SS, on TWM. On foot, WGBL, FB, SS. Nice, cheap, can take in the butt sometimes, but he normally rides with a full squad of GH's or BC's so he doesn't go too badly. I also field a naked Rune Priest cause psykers are cool Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/181720-what-are-you-guys-taking-for-your-hq-choices/#findComment-2151097 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hrathnar Flintfang Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Frost axe toting warrior born WL, bike riding WP. used to take a dread, but that is out the window now, so those two are it.

I also field a naked Rune Priest cause psykers are cool I think it depends on the Wolf Lord though. I am sure plenty of them still itch for a good scrap from time to time, right? Nothing wrong with that. Who is going to tell the boss he can't come down for a quick skirmish?

zark Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Njal stormcaller. I have the old version still painted up and ready to go. It has been a while since he has seen the light of day. Really makes a difference every game I play.

Wolf Guard Dan Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 In large battles I cannot stop writing lists for Ragnar +Njal in TDA. If you count the points Ragnar is only 35 points more for a similarly equiped wolf lord and I feel his special rules are worth the 35 points. And Njal is just sweet. All the psycic powers and a 4+ inv save, and a nullify at 3+. He is such a good support character. SOO very expensive but awesome. I cannot wait to test out the army lists with both of them. I think that all of the HQ's have their uses. Even old Ulrik. It is not surprising that all of our characters are great because that is what our army revolves around our HQ.

Brother-Captain Sicarius Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 not that I have played with the wolves yet :blink: (but will over the comming days). Wolf lord with dual claws, runic armour, belt and saga of the bear or warroir born. And a almost naked rune priest... 1750 pts games Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/181720-what-are-you-guys-taking-for-your-hq-choices/#findComment-2151184 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbrow II Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Njal stormcaller. I have the old version still painted up and ready to go. It has been a while since he has seen the light of day. Really makes a difference every game I play. QFT my man. Especially with his broken rules. In less than 1750 pts games I'll be taking a Rune Priest, possibly on a bike. Having a 1/6 chance of killing Eldar Skimmers, owning MC's, battering infantry and forcing them to move in dangerous terrain is just to good to pass up, especially when he comes in at just over 150 points on a bike. The man is a bargain. Another possible choice is the "I can't believe it's not Ghazghull" Wolf Lord: Thunderwolf, Fist, Storm Shield, Runic Armour and Bear Saga and you've got a fast, hard as nails guy swinging 5/6 Str10 fist attacks. Sure it's alot of points and can only join Fenris/thunder wolves, but what can you do? Or if you prefer swap the shield and fist for Frost Axe and Belt and get 7 Str 6 It 5 attacks of infantry butcher.

Redbaron997 Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 My favroite right now is: Wolf Lord @ 230 -Runic Armour - Frost Blade - Storm Shield - WTN - WTT - Melta Bomb - Saga of Bear. (Modelled in Terminator armour, cause I want a frost blade on him and thats the closest we can get) Yea he is tough as nails, but hes so expensive for only about 2.4 meq kills a turn, so Im a bit bleh, but its mainly cause I want an Awesome looking HQ. A part of me just wants to take a cheap wolf priest or something and save all those points for more stuff.

Allerka Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I've built my list around 2000 points. So far in my games I've been taking: Wolf Lord -TWM -Thunder Hammer/Storm Shield -2x Wolves -Wolftooth Necklace -Wolftail Talisman -Runic Armor -Saga of the Bear (Full pimped out/herohammer here, capable of going toe-to-toe with virtually anything in the game) WGBL -TWM -Frost Blade -Storm Shield -2x Wolves -Wolftooth Necklace -Wolftail Talisman -Saga of Beastslayer (Somewhat tooled out as well) Rune Priest -Master of Runes (fluffy choice for my Chapter) -Wolftooth Necklace -Wolftail Talisman -Chooser of the Slain The WL and WGBL get attached to a TWC unit, and they so far have annihilated anything they've touched. And, if I need to, I can split off either IC to tackle separate targets. The Rune Priest rides with a GH squad, and causes a good bit of havok. I've been using Jaws of the World Wolf and Fury of the Wolf Spirits, but I may swap the latter power out for Living Lightning.

Race Bannon Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Due to certain personal factors (mostly time on table), I can only play 1,000 point games. Thus, a WGBL. Top points < 150. Never any SC. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/181720-what-are-you-guys-taking-for-your-hq-choices/#findComment-2151569 Share on other sites More sharing options...
