Icewolf Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Brothers, My question is at 1000pts what is a better HQ option to take out of the wolf guard battle leader and a wolf lord. The options below is probably how I would run each character but the second wolf guard is more because it is possible on not too much more expensive and would be a real CC machine. Wolf Lord Frost Axe Belt of Russ Saga of the Bear Total - 185pts Wolf Guard Battle Leader TDA 2x Wolf Claw Saga of Warrior Born Total - 165 Wolf Guard Battle Leader TDA 2x Power Fist Saga of Warrior Born Total - 175 Icewolf Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/181830-1000pts/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wing_Knight Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Of those three i like the first one the most granted i play a lot against grey knights but being immune to instant death is really nice with all the hidden power fists and such running around now adays.

Icewolf Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 The problem I have is I really like TDA but want to give my wolf lord a frost blade but cannot give both. Also on a side not if a model has runic armour does that mean they cannot take the saga of the hunter.

Hotspur Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I like the first one. If you throw RA on him, it'll be essentially the same as TDA since you have a 2+ and an invulnerable b/c of the BoR. Since the RA is the same size as power armor, I would assume SoH is OK, but you're better off asking the really old guys around here like TeamLando or Only_in_Death about that.

Also on a side not if a model has runic armour does that mean they cannot take the saga of the hunter. Icewolf Well, they're all listed as Infantry, and unless you give them a mount, bike or jump pack, they're still infantry.. So you could have them in TDA with Saga of the Hunter if you wanted.. You could also (probably) join said TDA HQ to scouts and outflank (though not OBEL) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/181830-1000pts/#findComment-2152401 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redbaron997 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 The thing is although you cant get TDA with a Frost blade, you can get a Frost blade with Runic armour and lets say a stormshield and its costs the same as what we can assume it would cost with TDA, so you can model it as TDA if you so wish.

Ahh, ok, I took a closer look, I'd just read the rules for it on the list of sagas and in there it made no mention of not being able to take it in TDA..

CarlSkaven Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 You CAN!!!!! get a frost balde/axe with TDA!!! FAQ erratum section on GW's website! it states that you can and its the same price as Powerfist Page 84, Wolf Lord, Options, fifth bullet point. Change: - Power fist…………10 points to - Power fist, frost blade or frost axe…………10 points Page 85, Wolf Guard Battle Leader, Options, fifth bullet point. Change: - Power fist…………10 points to - Power fist, frost blade or frost axe…………10 points It all good my brothers!!!!

Michaelus Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 But, come to think of it, I'd rather use Runic, Frost Blade, and Storm Shield rather than TDA, frost blade, and Storm Shield. Costs the same if I'm not wrong (my brain isn't working well with math right now), but you get to do sweeping advance with runic armor. I personally use Saga of the Bear, although I some time switch it with Saga of the Warrior Born. And btw, try google space wolves FAQ, and download (and print) one from GW. It's kinda stupid that they didn't review their mistakes earlier on and made an Errata and FAQ instead. Kinda bothers me.

I was pondering using TDA with my wolf lord but i liked the appearance of runic armor. So i took runic, frost axe, belt of russ and saga of the beast slayer. for MC or T5.
