dizzy-xc Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 So I start with 4 on foot and 6 inside the razorback. Do I get the 4+ cover save? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhorneHunter57x Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 A unit may not be partially embarked, you must have all of the models in a vehicle or out. So no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tasche Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 but you can combat squad them into the razorback, 5/5. and have your 5men follow the tank for a 4+ coversave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizzy-xc Posted January 16, 2010 Author Share Posted January 16, 2010 If you have combat squads. Spacewolves dont. I was thinking of using the 6 man long fang squad and attaching an IC. I guess I could give the IC a jump pack, have him shadow the razorback and then attach him when the LF Squad disembarks... I guess then there is no problem with using a dedicated transport for a unit that exceeds its transport capacity as long as you dont try and embark into it?

That would be fine for the IC until he takes a STR8 shot to the face and no longer can join the unit since he is dead. Plus why would Long fangs need an IC to join them, about the only synergistic combination with Long fangs is a Rune Priest with Living Lightning, all the other IC's are built for Assault where Long Fang's shouldn't be. As for units larger than their transport's capacity, they can have it, they just can't use it until they are whittled down enough to fit in it. If you are looking at a transport for Long Fangs, they can only really use it in DoW deployment, so either buy them a cheap rhino to transport them, or a razorback for a Cover save/Extra firepower. Drop pods for Long Fangs are another option but are a completely different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasche Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 i agree with lostinnm, long fangs only have one role, thats fire suppression/support. they should be able to move around freely using a transport, which in most cases are a razorback for that extra punch.

An anti-infantry razorback (TL-HB, 2x Storm bolters) for Long fangs is pretty cheap, and can free your long fangs up to take other specialized weapons. Plus it can move 6" and shoot everything. If I didn't run shock assault Space Wolves I'd run 5 Long fangs with that Razorback, 2 Plasma Cannons & 2 Missile Launchers with a squad leader carrying a meltagun. 7 Shots from the razorback, and 4 templates from the Long fangs fills a long range support niche pretty well.

Isiah Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 We're getting out of the bounds of Official Rules here into tactics and army list choices -- both of which should be discussed elsewhere. Cheers I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
