Hfran Morkai Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Yep once again I'm looking at datasheets and trying to make it fit the Wolves fluff. I've been looking at masters of the chapter, now we don't get a command squad so some alteration is needed there. Obviously Wolf Guard are a good fit but as a command squad is limited to five men should the Wolf Guard squad be limited in this way? Because our Wolf Guard are also much more customisable, or should more points simply be put into the datasheet to represent the variability of the wolves? Also most importantly the Wolf Lords to use: Chapter Master: Logan Grimnar Master of Recruits: Ragnar Makes sense here but would boost the squad considerably, and the asset provided would be more fitting of Erik Morkai, obviously he would have a different honorific title Master of the Fleet: Engir Krakendoom's fluff seems to fit with this one Master of the Arsenal: I was thinking Egil Ironwolf but my lord specialises in armoured assaults so I'm wondering if I could get away with two wolf companies enjoying armoured assaults? Master of the Watch: Krom Dragongaze utilizes a great many wolf guard, fitting of such a role I feel. So what do you think? Please help with the Master of Recruits and Master of the Arsenal as I want to make it a fluffy unit.

Dark Bjoern Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 I made something similar when Apocalypse was released. Grimnar´s War Counsil 200 Points + Models Chapter Master: Great Wolf Logan Grimnar Father of the Whelps: Wolf Priest Ulrik, the Slayer (Master of Recruits) Guardian of the Fang: Rune Priest Njal Stormcaller (Master of the Watch) Master of the Iron Island: Iron Priest Ulf Strongbrow (Master of the Arsenal) Pack Leader of the Fleet: Wolf Guard Battle Leader (Master of the Fleet) 4 Wolf Guards in TDA Technical i´m using the same assets as the MotC So far it had worked well. And my choises for the single posts is more fluffy. Ulrik, as the highest Wolf Priest is responsable for the recruiting. He keeps an eye on all aspirants. The Rune Priests are the watchers over the Chapter. They´re the trusted advisors to the Great Wolf. The technical thing is better given to the Iron Priests. The Master of the Fleet is the most difficult thing to explain. Fluffwise each WL has his own Fleet so it´s difficult to make one of them the Master of the Fleet without insulting the other Lords. I choose a WGBL from Logan´s Wolf Guard to take over the business of the Fleet. Logan has more important things to do.

Hfran Morkai Posted October 25, 2009 Author Share Posted October 25, 2009 A very interesting way to do it there brother! It does make more sense, I just remembered them talking of the "Father of the Unblooded" as the SW equivalent and I thought it might be wolf lords but the way it is there I don't think it could be claimed as broken because most of those models have a worse profile, though boosted against MC with Ulrik and no cheesy +D3 attacks from Rangar, which would really make the formation nasty. But I do have Plans on mustering twelve wolf lords along the way.

Dark Bjoern Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 If you wanna make something that includes all 12 Wolf Lords you should make a completely new datasheet. And don´t be afraid that it would be too mighty. Take a look at the Chaos datasheets. 8 Bloodthirster and you can choose to include the named one, like An´Garrath and the one from C:D. Or Angron of the World Eaters. Hey, it´s Apocalypse, everything goes.

Spoken like a true Wolf. :D :lol: Well think of it. You get Grimnar who can make them fearless, or tank hunters as appropriate, relentless would have little use. Then dear old Rags gives them an additional d3 attacks on the charge and then you've got ten guys who can be equipped with just about anything. Biggest bullet magnet the Wolves can muster methinks.

Dark Bjoern Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 How came you up with that idea? Bjorn as Guardian of the Fang because he defended the Fang during the First Siege of Fenris? Guardian of the Fang is an full time job, but Lord Bjorn is most the time in stasis.
