skyclays , best babysitter ?

Recommended Posts

so I modeled up a WGPL to go with my skyclaws pack ( 10 models ) . gave him a Pwr fist and plasma pistol , then when i was costing him out , i read that I can't attach him to my sky claws .

 

so I have a few options , take a WGBL at 135 pts ( for my existing model ) or model up a wolf priest for about 125pts , or drop the babysitter and run them on their own . Or I could convert them all to wolf guard and run them as a wolf guard pack ,but that would get foolishly (expensive points wise ) for a large pack ,but a small unit of 3 or 4 kitted with a couple pwr fists and plasma pistols and a couple power weapons might be a terror to tanks and artillery positions . and the cost of a small unit would be reasonable .

 

I am wondering what others have found in their experience ?

 

the cost of a full pack of skyclaws is about the same as the cost of a 10 man squad of blood claws or 10 grey hunters + a rhino transport,

 

in the fast attack category a can only field skyclaws , fenisian wolves or up to 2 speeders with the models i have available.

 

I am wondering if they are worth it ,and what the better combos are .

looking for some ideas here , I don't face orks very often, but there are a couple eldar armies out there and a few IG and tau ,plus the usual assortment of space marines . and 1 other sw player . an all comers configuration would be my preference.

 

i have never used my skyclaws b4 , but I have used stormboyz with my orks with mixed results .

 

i would like to try them out this weekend in a 1750pt game ( don't know my opponent yet though )

Wold Priest all the way, keep him cheap and the bonus he gives to the unit will more than make up for him being not so killy as other choices.

I concur.

 

The Skyclaws have a ton of attacks on the charge, with a wolf priest, most will hit. He's the best choice (though it is odd that a pack leader is not allowed)
