Clone Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 I have just made some money on ebay (Ale's all round!) and I am not sure on what to get next for my expanding Great Company. I mostly play against infantry IG, mech IG and Orks. So for I have: Njal Stormcaller Wolf Priest 20 GH's/BC's 12 LF's 2 Dreadnoughts 3 Pod's 5 Wolf Scouts 5 WG in TDA 2 Rhino/RB's Land Raider Land Raider Crusader 2 Land Speeders I was thinking I could get Canis and convert him into a WL with TWM, get a Vindicator or some more troops. What do the Warriors of the Fang recommend? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/182869-recommend-me-a-unit/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Bjoern Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 I would go for more GH or BC. Troops are very important with the 5th Ed to take mission objects.

EricBasser Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 I would also add more troops and a Rhino. I also got Lukas. It's up to you on Lukas though. I tihnk he's a fun character to run. I don't run him every game though. If you have 10 Grey Hunter and 10 Blood Claws, I would make 10 Grey Hunters. If it's 20 Grey Hunters, 20 Blood Claws, I would get 10 more Grey Hunters. You have 12 Long Fangs? 2 groups of 6 I assume. Do you use the Razorbacks for them? Is it 2 Razorbacks and 2 Rhinos, or just 2 that can switch between the two? If it's a total of 4, then I would just get 2 more Rhinos if you play a Mech list. If you haven't tried bikes yet, I really like running them. Some people do, some people don't. I think they complement a mech list nicely. So here's what I would get in order of what I would get first. 1. Grey Hunters. 2. Rhinos. 3. Lukas. 4. Bikes. That's just me though. Everyone is going to have different oppions, but I think most would agree on more troops first.

Everyone is going to have different oppions, but I think most would agree on more troops first. I wasn't too clear in my original post. I have 20 models that can be interchanged for GH's or BC's and I have 2 RB models but I do use them as Rhino's from time to time.

EricBasser Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Ok. I wasn't too sure. I would say more Troops. What kind of list do you usually run? How many points are you looking for? Ork and IG? I would say troops. With Grey Hunters with Meltaguns you could take out armor. How does your list fair against Orks now? If you need more models, I'd go with more Troops. If you need faster units, I would go with Bikes. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/182869-recommend-me-a-unit/#findComment-2163147 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hfran Morkai Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Troops are cool, perhaps a dreadnought. Also I'm curious about your Long Fangs, a mix of weapons in each pack or are both dedicated? And if so to what? Your GH/BC's what special weapons do they have? Because maybe some PA WG to lead them if assault themed packs and support packs with two plasma guns are fun.

If you need faster units, I would go with Bikes. I haven't played with my Wolves yet but I do have a game coming up. I will be using 3 Pods, 2 with Dreads and the other with Meltagun armed GH's. The 2 LF squads will be providing covering fire and my Terminators will be Njal's bodyguard and will kill anything that close to me. I will have 6LF's, 4TDA WG, Njal, 10 GH's and maybe a couple of LW's in my deployment zone. Troops are cool, perhaps a dreadnought. Also I'm curious about your Long Fangs, a mix of weapons in each pack or are both dedicated? And if so to what? Your GH/BC's what special weapons do they have? Because maybe some PA WG to lead them if assault themed packs and support packs with two plasma guns are fun. My LF's are armed with: 2HB's, PC, 2ML's per squad. The GH's and BC's are armed with whatever the situation demands for, my gameclub is ok with substituting a meltagun for a flamer or plasma gun.

Hfran Morkai Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Makes your life easier then. And an interesting Long Fang loadout, anti-infantry are where they excel in my opinion. I'd say a fire support Grey Hunter unit with two plasma guns, nasty for holding an objective and if needs be they can move up and support the rest of the force. Normally I'd say a whirlwind but you already have a fair bit of anti-infantry punch with your Lon Fangs, that Crusader and your troops. Also I take it your dreads have removable arms? So you can change loadouts? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/182869-recommend-me-a-unit/#findComment-2163162 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Mage Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Another unit of GHs, and another 2 DPs or a another rhino. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/182869-recommend-me-a-unit/#findComment-2163185 Share on other sites More sharing options...
