Prototype Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 After much reading through the forums in the past few days, I haven't quite decided what to give my Wolf Lord equipment-wise so I thought I'd ask you guys what you are all taking. I'm a little inclined towards something like Frost Blade + Belt of Russ personally, since giving him a TH or PF seems to be a waste of his superior initiative.

DV8 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 At 1000 points I just take a Wolf Lord with Frost Blade and Belt of Russ. Cheap and effective. 1500/1700+, I take Ragnar Blackmane.

hmk17 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Very Carefully! ba dum tish But seriously, the main build I keep seeing crop up is Frost Blade + Combi-weapon + Runic Armor + Belt of Russ + Wolf tooth necklace and Saga of the Warrior. Variations of that sell for around 190 pts. There are those advocating a Thuderwolf mount and another CC weapon + the Frost Blade in order to pick up the extra attack. The Thunderwolf rider version is a melee beast with six STR 6 attacks standard. Though you will not get the uber Rending with any attacks made by special close combat weapons. The thunderwolf also locks him into only joining wolf packs and cavalry, which is not so bad. Personally, I'm going with something that can run screaming out of a Drop Pod/Crusader/Rhino with a squad of Grey Hunters or Wolf Guard. To each his own, though.

maligncomedy Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I'm mainly running a Logan Grimnar "counts-as" but if not I prefer: Wolf Lord -Belt of Russ -Frost Blade -Storm Bolter (Although sometimes I switch this to Combi-Melta/Combi-Flamer depending on the way I feel that day.) -Wolf Tail Talisman -Saga of Majesty. ^ Hits decently in close combat, has some ranged capability, adds some anti-psyker protection to a squad and himself, and can lend a hand with a re-roll to morale. Basically he's an all around guy who bolsters the unit he joins.

Wing_Knight Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I have two right now keep in mind though i tend to play at 2000 pts and don't take both in the same list unless i am playing at 2.5k + prefer to add a rune priest etc. Wolf Lord 1 -Thunder Wolf Mount -Wolf Claw -Storm Shield -Wolf Tail Talisman (sometimes) -saga of the bear (depending) Wolf Lord 2 -Space marine bike -Frost Axe -Belt of Russ -Wolf Tail Talisman (sometimes) -saga of the bear (depending again) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/181945-how-are-you-guys-building-your-wolf-lords/#findComment-2153615 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chodjinn Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Terminator Armour Twin Wolf Claws WTT WTN Belt of Russ Beastslayer reroll to hit and wound against the big stuff. Plan to put him with a small WG bodyguard. I was going to do a WL with thunder hammer, but Arjac is better I think.

Yeti Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 But seriously, the main build I keep seeing crop up is Frost Blade + Combi-weapon + Runic Armor + Belt of Russ + Wolf tooth necklace and Saga of the Warrior. Variations of that sell for around 190 pts. That combo will cost you a lot more than 190 .... more like 225. That being said I like to keep them under 200. I run something similar. Frost axe, belt of russ, sage of the warrior born, wolf tail which costs ... drumrolll ... 190! ;) There's really no one way to build a wolf lord. Before you do, decide where you want to put him and what role he's going to play in that squad or your army. Mine goes with some GHs in a rhino or land raider and is used mainly to clean out troops. If you've got some thuderwolves in your army, it makes sense to give him one too. If you want a MC/walker/IC killer, termi armor, thunder hammer, storm shield are your thing ... along with a squad of wolf guard. If you're looking for someone to command from the backlines ... get some DH allies or some other kind of blue armored pansy ... :P :D Overall though, try to spend less than 25% of the army on HQs. I've managed to fit three in my 1700/1850 lists (Rune priest/chooser + wolf priest) and each has his own role in the army. Nothings stopping your from taking two heavy hitter though. More than 25% though and it starts to eat into your other "essentials" like scoring unts and specialized troops.

Freman Bloodglaive Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Mine rides a bike and wields a frost axe. He's protected with his belt of Russ. If points allow he chants the saga of the Warrior Born. He's either 185, or 220 points.
