Spacefrisian Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Just wondering what experiences others have with him. And with Wolfpriests in general. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/188109-ulric/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Bjoern Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 I haven´t used Ulrik with the new Edition. But Wolf Priests are an exellent HQ choise. Stick them with 15 BC in a LRC and your opponent will have a lot of trouble. Or give him a jumppack and attach him to a Skyclaw pack. I love my Wolf Priest. And most for most of my lists a WP is my first choise. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/188109-ulric/#findComment-2226059 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamel Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 I've used a wolf priest several times now in smaller battles (1000 pts) and they can be monsters. I love GH so i stick him in a large group and hey presto, I bring the pain.

SamaNagol Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 14 BC with a Fist, a WG with a THammer and a vanilla WP in a Crusader is me. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/188109-ulric/#findComment-2226232 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natanael Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Many ppl talk about the 14 BC+WG+Wolf Priest in LRC, and sing it's praise, but I have never had any sort of luck with it. The BC suck :) Anyway, on topic I think the WP is awesome. Sticking him with almost any kind of squad is great, since he makes them fearless and adds a few PW-attacks. The re-roll ability is great too, and I've been taking him for almost 1/2 my games since the new dex. Good fella :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/188109-ulric/#findComment-2226297 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodgambit Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 I have an extra games day wolf priest and I was thinking of modeling him with a jump pack to attach to sky claws. Has anyone used it with much success in a 1500 point level game? Figured a flamer and WG with pf would work well in that build.

SamaNagol Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 The WS3 is made redundant by the Wolf Priest's re-roll to hit on the charge, so they are in fact pretty damned nasty!

rodgambit Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 I thought preferred enemy was hitting on 3+ in CC. Does the wolf priest unit only re-roll hits on the charge or do they have both?

Sarapham Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 The re-rolls are permanent at the affected unit types, so not just on the charge. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/188109-ulric/#findComment-2226344 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamaNagol Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 My bad, I was just working through a MArine list and had Chaplains on the brain. Yeh Preferred Enemy to one unit type is AMAZING for Blood Claws. I would almost say it was essential.

SpaceWolf13C Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 i haven't played with it yet but ive got ulric set up with a squad of 15 BC with 2 flamers and a PF in a LRC. it should be pretty nasty against bikers and any MCs. 37 or so avg wounds on a marine or nob biker squad should kill it or at least render it ineffective. thats just on the charge too. thats not including ulrics attacks or the PF or shooting wounds.

Beef Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 I am upset that WP are I4. (atleast Ulrick is stil I5) Thats my only gripe. But then I have not played a game with SW for over a year now.

Spacefrisian Posted December 26, 2009 Author Share Posted December 26, 2009 I plan on running him with Njal, 6 Bloodclaws and Wolfguard in a Landraider. Should be quite a bullet magnet but that will keep them from shooting my other units while dishing out punishment.

Problem with Njal in a raider is that he does not get LOS to stuff, and he REALLY likes having LOS to stuff :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/188109-ulric/#findComment-2226559 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacefrisian Posted December 26, 2009 Author Share Posted December 26, 2009 He wont be mounted in that raider all the time. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/188109-ulric/#findComment-2226561 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Priest Ridcully Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 I have Always loved the wolf priests, their fluff and the 2 models made by GW (Ulrik and the Games day one, I have both) are brilliant, my main Gripe with the new codex is that the Wolf priest's Inititave, attacks and options got Neutered, gone are the days were my wolf Priest could wipe out a 3 man bike squad and the take out an attack bike in a turn each, andafter that and still be ready to wipe out whole squads. I still always take one, no matter the size of the game, and always will.

SamaNagol Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 They must be making a new Wolf Priest in the second wave. I only just realised that you can't actually buy a Wolf Priest direct anymore.

Spacefrisian Posted December 27, 2009 Author Share Posted December 27, 2009 I made one of my Wolfpriests from bits. Its quite funny to see cause he also has some apothecarie references to it while similar options arent available to the WP anymore.

Wolf Lord Cuneglas Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 I love my Sky Claws w/ a priest. I usually run 6-10 Sky Claws w/ PF & Melta/MoW. My priest has Melta Bombs and a JP. It's a reasonably low point cost for attention and destruction that they can cause. In 1500 pt games the full 10 seems overkill for anything they're going to hit, with the re-roll to hits and the +2 on the charge these guys are nasty. The only problem that I've had with them is over pursuing. I jump them way to far and get assaulted instead of being patient with them. Harley's really tear you up when they get the charge.....
