The might of the wolf guard

[Rizara]

hey guys, i just thought i would share this. Anyways, yesterday i participated in a small local tourney, the games were at 1250 points so they were really high points.

 

Anyways, during my 3 games, i had one wolf guard member best even his wolf lord in battle. During the first game, my opponent was necrons. Well my wolf guard was simply equipped with power armor, a power weapon and a bolt pistol. He was then attached to a unit of 9 grey hunters with a flamer and Mark of the wulfen, a power weapon and a plasma gun also in the unit, and they were mounted in a rhino. Anyways this first battle, him and his unit tied up his necron lord with a destroyer body for 4 full rounds of melee(8 individual rounds) from turn 2 to turn 5. In the end the unit was lost but they did manage one wound on the necron lord, wiped out 9 full scarab bases and 1/3 of a warrior unit that came in to help there lord in turn 4.

 

The next game was against grey knights/imperial guard. This same unit ended up popping out of the rhino, flamed and shot the 10 strong grey knights in power armor, then charged them, wiped them down to the last man, his turn finished them off, and consilidated closer to a 10 strong guard unit. My turn they shot them up and also charged them, wiped them out and then consolidated towards the inquisitor and his retinue. They surived a round of shooting and ended up chewing up the inquistitor and his bodyguards, then next round they got charged by the grey knight master. The wolf guard was the only one who survived the masters wrath but also took down master. Then he proceeded into another unit of guards men and before he was slain, he removed half that unit as well.

 

Then in the next game, i played against vanilla marines. This same squad rhino rushed towards the enemy, got there ride blown completely out from around them, survived, and took out a master of the forge and his retinue, then proceeded in the next few rounds to take out another full tactical squad, and then all but destroyed a dreadnought in melee.

 

Overall during the day this one unit alone took out more units than any of my other units, and survived much longer than the fill in wolf lord i used for the tourney while i am converting my actual wolf lord.

So thruout the day this unit and there awesome wolf guard leader managed to eliminate 3 heros and cause a wound to a 4th, and cleared out 6 units, and took out half of 2 units essentialy as well as cause some serious hurt to a dread. Its one hell of a tally for just one unit.

 

Overall tho i lost 2 of my 3 battles, 1 of those losses i count as a moral victory due to it being the second game and an annihilation mission. The transports cost me kill points but i still felt victorious since all the grey knight/inquisitor guy had left was a command squad, half a guard squad and his heavy weapon teams and a dread left(that was immobilised and missing a gun).

 

So does anyone else have any awesome tales of the might of there wolf guard units or wolf guard leaders.

Probably my best run with a member of the Wolf Guard has to be one armed with storm bolter and thunder hammer leading a pack of Grey Hunters.

 

I was playing against the Ultramarines and his pack was assaulted by lightning claw terminators, taking two of them down but losing all bar thee men in the process. My pack fell back and regrouped, pouring fire into the advancing terminators. Alas they assaulted again and cut down his last two charges, infuriated by the injustice the pack leader swing his thunder hammer and slew the remaining three terminators. Then he engaged a terminator captain with storm shield and the last remaining thunder hammer terminator and struck the captain down with a mighty blow whilst the terminator failed to wound him. Drawing his final breaths he took the terminator out but succumbed to his wounds.

 

One lucky Wolf Guard!

back with the old dex, i had a yunit of scouts pop on the board, flame and asault a unit of ork boys that were threatening a building i needed to hold. i won combat, next turn he charged his killa kans in to free the squad up quickly. the kans killed all my scouts, and the boys attacked my WGPL. he saved about 10 wounds and i watched in horror as the nob attacked with his power claw... all the dice either missed or rolled 1 to wound. i obviously lost combat but rolled a double 1 locking both his boys and kans in for another round. this meant i was able to bolster the objective withmy wolf lord and his bodyguard... i ended up winning the game so it was a valiant sacrifice.

 

in the same game a bloodclaw bike squad and WGPL charged a unit of nobs with a warboss. i didn't want to but the headstrong rule meant i had little option (i think i had pursued a unit in his turn which took me too close to his boss). i caused a couple of casualties then watched the numerous power klaw attacks wipe out my few bikers. i think the pack leader took about 7 wounds. he had bionics, and in one of those moments where you both say 'what if it worked against power weapons?'... so i rolled the dice and made every one, the look on my opponents face when he saw them all roll a 6.... then the look on mine when i realised probably the best rolling i had ever done was pointless. still it was a laugh.
