MaleOpener Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Good afternoon all, The current bulk of my force is 4 packs of 15 blood claws , each being lead by a WG termie with a chainfist. I was thinking of leaving them in power armor, giving them a storm shield and thunder hammer instead. Would I benefit from this change, or will I hamper my list? I'm aware of losing the fire from the storm bolters, but gain a better invul save. Thanks in advance.

Iacton Qruze Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 By ditching the Termie, you also regain your ability to sweeping advance if you break your enemy. I'd go TH/SS in PA over the termie, myself.

EricBasser Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 What are your Blood Claws armed with? Do you have any anti-tank? If you don't and have a foot slogging army, it depends on what you're facing. A Thunder Hammer and Storm Shield Wolf Guard can catch a slow moving vehicle. If it's fast and a skimmer. It's near impossible to catch up. Do you have your elite slots filled? If you have two open, I really like the feel of Lone Wolves. I take 2 in Power Armor with Thunder Hammer and Storm Shield. Can soak a lot of shots, and hits hard in combat.

MaleOpener Posted November 3, 2009 Author Share Posted November 3, 2009 Yes, I too, was aiming to get my 'sweeping advance' back. My WG are the anti-tank of the pack, as my BCs are armed for anit-troop with 1 power weapon. I believe I could go with a power fist instead. I currently have 2 lone wolves, armed with a SS and chainfist, though I was liking of changing them out for dreads.

EricBasser Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I would go with Power Armor, Storm Shield and Thunder hammer for the Wolf Guard then. If anything, I think hammers look cool! :teehee: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/183893-need-your-opinions-on-a-change-to-my-force/#findComment-2173900 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreatWolf Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 termie has a better save and with TH/SS would kill in close combat but loses sweeping advance so depends on what your facing Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/183893-need-your-opinions-on-a-change-to-my-force/#findComment-2174403 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildfire Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Personally, I'd just take a PA WG w/fist. Much cheaper, and barely less efficient. 15 large squads of BCs have enough bodies to shield him. The SS is a waste of points.

Grey Mage Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I gotta agree with Wildfire- thats alot of expensive toys that really dont seem to be needed. Thunderhammer isnt a bad upgrade, but I doubt you really need both. Could probly use those points for some long fangs, or speeders, to get you some ranged firepower.

MaleOpener Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 Ah, i see. Using the BCs, as a shield, always did escape my mind... Should I still give a BC a PF then? Or should I give one a PW/PP/or nothing to save some more points?
