Space Wolves and Army Builder

[RichVStone]

So I go into army builder now that it has the new Space Wolves codex available to make my army. I load up wolfguard and go to select options for weapons only to find that i can't select weapons per mode. I thought the codex said you can select different weapons for each wolfguard...to maintain individuality and here if I select Wolfclaws I have to give them to all 5? Maybe I misunderstood the codex...or maybe the program is wrong. Can someone offer advice?

Program is wrong. Use a pen and paper.

The program isn't entirely wrong, they just changed some functions for the SW codex.

 

For the Wolfguard don't hit the + to add more models of the same type, click on the actual entry in the roster where it says group with the elite symbol. On the right side on the unit options select the type you want to use either power armor or terminator armor. Select each option separately so if you want 2 in power armor and 2 in terminator armor and 1 arjac. Click the power armor star twice, the termy star twice and arjac once. now you click on the entry in the and select it's individual options. It just takes some playing with.

 

Yes the program has flaws but it's just a baseline for everything. Since the release they've fixed MOST all bugs. Don't just listen to people who say it's wrong. They probably don't have ANY back up for it. No offense SamaNagol, but your post wasn't helpful at all.

I'm pretty sure you can do what you want to, but I'll have to boot up Windoze to remember the steps…

 

…I THINK there's a button on the right that says something like "Add Wolf Guard" click that for each new Wolf Guard you want and then give him the gear you want. But I'll confirm that later.

woot! thanks so much!

Just a bunch of unofficial people with time on their hands... and no reason to be more accurate than me.

 

But my favorite reason has to be manstopper shells. I dont mind people usin it, but taking it as gospel is just silly.

Always check you lists against the codex before you use them.

 

And as I am a Mac user, I haven't been able to use Army Builder since 2006. Have they had enough 'spare time' to sort out an OS/X version yet?

[Ullr Direfang]

are you using the wolf lair army build or the GW army build? i use the wolf lair and it works great. i tend to check on things i feel look wrong but i tend to be the wrong one. i have no experience with the GW version, but every one i have talked to doesn't like it.

I'm a Mac user and I've been using Army Builder all along - via Parallels…and regardless of which method you use to build your lists, you should check them against the codex before you use them.

Manstopper shells? What are those?

[Grey Mage]

A selection you used to have to make to get S 4 shotguns for space wolves, they wouldnt let us have them in AB otherwise.

In real life a man stopper is a Black Talon round. They make them to have a huge kill chance when they hit a person. Basicly they are mean rounds. Also Shotguns Nail shells.

 

If you get hit in the leg with one it might come out the oposit shoulder tearing everything up in it's path. It's a hollow point bullet with a titanium tip down in the hollow. When the round hits it works like a hollow point and blows a big hole with compressed air and spreads the jacket. The lead flys out in an expanding circle. But here is the difference. The jacket stays attached to the titanium tip. Now you have a small saw blade attached to a tip which changes direction when it hits hard bone or dence muscle. So it zig-zags around a bit in your body. It also has a more powerful charge. Meaning higher velocity and more kenetic energy.

 

Like all hollow points thou, a bullet proof vest makes them useless. So it's only good for law enforcement. Which is the only people that can buy them now. You have to be in Law enforcement to get them. I prefered Corbon Hollow points thou. Which anyone can use. I do not want to have to shot a guy in the leg and he die from it.

 

 

Also in shotguns, nail shells are called man stoppers too. Which is just a shotgun shell full is long metal slivers like nails. When they come out they tumble and they even tumble in the body making tears in the tissue. So you have major organ trama and they bleed out cause you can not fix all the tear damage done. Basicly think about 50 nails spreading through your body in all directions. Spinning and twisting tearing organs open and spreading fecal matter in you guts. Nothing you can do.

 

We used nail rounds in veitnam. I believe that was the last time we used them. You would have to ask a current grunt what he is toating thou.

You were in the wrong job then pal. ;)

 

We now use the Benelli M4 fitted with the 8+1 extended magazine in the British Army. It can be fitted with a fore grip and optics such as holographic and reflex sights. It was brought into service for use in CQB in Helmand province's Green Zone and close compounds. The shotgun fires both pellet and solid slug-type shells.
