Requisition Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Have any of you played a Wolfwing army? I've only just discovered it via this article and was interested in how effective it was or not: http://tauonline.org/index.php?content=bro...amp;article=663 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/189780-wolfwing/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSpike Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I've been looking at a Wolf Wing: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...p;#entry2220690 Not played it yet, and probably won't for another few months. It certainly looks effective, on paper, but is severely lacking in models - quite possible to be out-manoeuvred by a speedy army. Below 1500pts, it is a squeeze, and may have to loose all transports (except drop pods?), leaving those termies footslogging across the table (relentlessly!) At 2k, you can go for 3 squads of 5 TDA WG, Logan, Bjorn, A priest and a 2nd LR.

lostinnm Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Below 1500pts, it is a squeeze, and may have to loose all transports (except drop pods?), leaving those termies footslogging across the table (relentlessly!) That and/or Landraiders. In DoW this could be quite funny being able to put down Logan Grimnar & 7 Termies in a LRC halfway across the table while everything else drop-pods in. However, I don't see it being super effective due to the same problems of Deathwing since only one bad set of rolls can completely devastate your army.

Requisition Posted January 15, 2010 Author Share Posted January 15, 2010 can we please stop calling it Wolfwing...... please it just sounds wrong..... Because of the 'Deathwing' I think it sounds quite right! What would you suggest?

SamaNagol Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Wolfwing is here to stay. Mixed Armour units are the winner here though. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/189780-wolfwing/#findComment-2248197 Share on other sites More sharing options...
VorpalDoom Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 As said prior, Wolf Wing is good, but far from very effective. 6 Mixed armor units of Wolf Guard in Drop Pods is where the good hurtin' is at.

SamaNagol Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Is that 2k? I can JUST ABOUT squeeze in 4 units in pods with a Dread, Logan and a Rune Priest in 1500pts.

Death Wolf Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 For the love of Russ people, its not called Wolfwing or Loganwing or anything like that, we aren't dress wearing nancy boys! And it is very effective at killing things if used right, unfortunately that means not spreading out too far and as games go, objectives are key...

Athalus Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 The fun thing about this army is that it is relatively easy to paint and field (with so few mini's). Its damn intriguing to try out.

You claim that it is not called that, despite the fact that everyone calls it that, and don't offer any alternatives? What else are we suppose to call it?

Freman Bloodglaive Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I like "Wolfwing". It sums up the matter in very short order. It's a Space Wolf army, led by Logan and dominated by models in terminator armour.

Evilmerlin Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I don't see why you wouldn't take Razorbacks though. Sure your terminators can't ride in them but they can double as cheap light tanks which will serve to take some heat of your terminator squads.

KeithGatchalian Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 His one list is illegal....Logan makes WG packs count as Troops, not become Troops. So you are limited to 3 elites choices.

Wildfire Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I don't agree with a lot of his conclusions. Stuff like not needing any fast units is just silly. His one list is illegal....Logan makes WG packs count as Troops, not become Troops. So you are limited to 3 elites choices. Wrong. Read the FAQ.

You don't think that fast units really go against the theme and style of a Wolfwing army?

Emperor's Instrument Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I was orignally going to build a mono WG list with Logan, 15 TDA WG and 2 LRR at 1500 but this has since changed to; Logan 5 TDA WG LRR w/MM Rune Priest w/ Living Ligthning and JotWW 9 PA WG Drop Pod Wolf Priest 9 PA WG Drop Pod Again at 1500 points so its no longer mono WG due to the Priests but i feel their benefits are more than worth while.

Quillen Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I did a wolf guard drop pod list and it's doing ok. Not as great as I would like. I am going with 3 Termies and 4 Power armor models a pod and I have 4 pods and Logan with a pack of Long Fangs to kill big stuff on landing. I am 2 wins and 1 draw so far. It's just nerver racking. His one list is illegal....Logan makes WG packs count as Troops, not become Troops. So you are limited to 3 elites choices. Actually no. You get 6 choices which can be Wolf Gaurd. To field them all tricked out thou you are hitting near like 2200points. Look up the Space Wolf FAQ and look for the 5th edition one. I have it as a PDF file if you need it. It covers alot of stuff.

KeithGatchalian Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Yes, could you email it to me? My computer will allow me to read pdf's I have downloaded, but not ones opened on a website. I had not seen that Logan's rule changed how you take Wolf Guard.

BlackSpike Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 The relevant section says: Q. Are Wolf Guard Packs genuine Troopsselections in the Force Organisation chart instead of Elites when fielded in an army with Logan Grimnar? If so, is this optional? A. Yes, they count as Troops and take up Troops Force Organisation Chart Selections. This is not an optional choice, so you can have at most six Wolf Guard Packs in an army with Logan Grimnar.

Ladislao Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I do not think a wolf wing list is viable at 1500, a thing i regret. Not only for its lack of models, but for the lack of mobility.. i tried some game with a drop pod list + the logan-long fangs with mm trick, but the other players simply begun with every in reserve, and then begin to dance around my main force, shooting from afar, and atacking in force the packs who tried to take some ojective... it was a disaster, and i feel the same thing will happen to a wolfwing army Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/189780-wolfwing/#findComment-2248540 Share on other sites More sharing options...
