Do Wolf Guard that join skyclaw or Long Fang, become FA/HS ?

So do they? I don't see any rule that says when a Wolf Guard joins a devestator they become a heavy support choice.But because i got logan, they are troops and i don't see any rules that conflicts this. Also, this would mean that if a HQ choice joined a Grey Hunter squad before the game then they become a troops choice, which makes them scoring, which doesn't sound right at all.

 

thanks

This has popped up on this forum already somehwere but at the minute I cant find the thread. I think its a really crappy interpretation of the Logan Wolf Guard rule. I'd say the Wolf Guard becomes part of the unit it joins not the other way round, I'm at work at the minute so cant check on the wording of the rules.

Nope.

 

Your all sorts of off here.

 

Logain says wolf gaurd UNITS become scoring.

 

Once attached to another unit its just a wolf gaurd MODEL, not a UNIT.

 

Thats the difference.

 

Secondly- HQ units dont stop being Independant characters when attached to another unit- Wolf Gaurd are NEVER independant characters. Thus, an HQ is never the slot its joined to, as its still a seperate unit. IF we had a retinue you might have a case.

 

Edit: Note, as an upgrade character who is part ofa Unit you become what the unit is by virtue of being a model in the unit. Thus a WG in a HS, FA, Troop, or Elite choice becomes the choice that he joined by virtue of being a member of that squad. Because squads are particular slots, models are not.

 

Models instead are part of units... wich in turn are part of slots. A Model can be part of a Unit that is just 1 strong, like an average HQ, or a Lone Wolf, but its still two distinct areas.

So what your saying is, that when i have logan. i pick some wg and put them into long fangs. they become heavy support, but they stay scoring?

thanks

No, they are NOT scoring- because that model is now a HS choice, not a a Troop choice.

 

Only the unit, as a unit, is scoring. As soon as a model leaves the unit, its no longer part of it.... and so its no longer capable of being scoring unless the new unit its attached to is.

 

Since Long Fangs are never scoring, nor are swiftclaws or scouts, only a Wolf Gaurd attached to a Grey Hunter or Bloodclaw unit is ever scoring when not part of its origional pack.

 

And then, its only scoring in its origional pack when its in the same list as Grimnar.

Is this a poor attempt at trolling old boy? Because when I read Greymages reply it was pretty clear to me.

another question. However, what if i take a squad of four WG, then i place one with the Long Fangs and leave the three WG members as a unit on their own. Does the member that moved to the LF go to heavy support while the rest of his squad stays troops and scoring?

Trolling? no my brain is still sluggish in the morning. >< lol

thanks

Yes... the three strong unit of Wolf Gaurd is scoring, while the Long Fangs AND the attached WG is not, as they are a HS unit.

 

Edit:

 

Ill assume were done here for now, I have work in four hours- night all.

Sorry if this sounds stupid. So if you buy a wolf guard and attach him to a grey hunter pack, all the grey hunter pack get shot out around him does he still count as a scoring 'unit' in the same way a normal space marine veteran sergeant would or does he revert back to being an elite choice?

 

Disregarding any special character influence that is.

Yes, he would be scoring. He becomes part of the pack he is moved to, so if he's attached to a troop's choice he's still a troops choice if he's the only one left.

Sorry but I believe your wrong. Your loan wolf guard becomes a last man standing for that unit. He doesn't suddenly revert to being a wolf guard unit. That is lost as soon as he splits off.

 

This just seems to be am attempt to find a loop hole so stop being a long beard and fight like a wolf! If your opponents dead then they can't hold objectives!

Who said he reverted to being a wolf guard unit. Once he becomes part of the Grey Hunters/Blood Claw unit, he becomes a scoring model.

 

And I don't even play Space wolves. Its to my advantage if I'm wrong as it becomes easier to stop Wolves from scoring.

yep, same answer said in a different way.

 

And yet another way to look at it! During list creating think of adding a WG as if you were adding one more GH to a GH squad. This is also why WG are allowed to BEL with scouts.

Just remember that he is still purchased and equiped as a seperate unit, so doesnt count towards the GHs 2 special weapons and Does count towards the 5 WG needed for a heavy weapon.

Does count.

 

He's part of the Wolf Guard unit until he's split off to join the other unit. Hence if you have ten Wolf Guard and split off two (say on bikes to join bike packs) you can have two heavy weapons despite having ostensibly eight models in the squad.
