Commissar Volker Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I'm going to make a Thunderwolf mounted Wolf Lord, but I'm not sure if I should give him a Thunder hammer, or a Frost Blade. His other hand will have a Storm Shield. Advice will be most appreciated.

Sarapham Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I would personally say Frost blade, s6 is nothing to scoff at and the biggest seller is that he keeps his initiative.

VorpalDoom Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Frost blade. You want to take full advantage of that I 5! I've had lots of success with a similarly equipped Wolf Lord, simple, and amazingly powerful. I tend to give him a couple of fenrisian wolves, and toss him in with a single Fast attack choice Thunderwolf Cavalry w/ Storm Shield and Thunderhammer. This way the unit can take on anything. Smart positioning may allow you to send your fenrisian wolves against the powerfist in the unit you're attacking, keeping your wolf lord completely safe from those "wound on 2+" nasty guys. Also, the addition of a 4A S10 thunderhammer is great, and you don't have to sacrafice your Wolf Lord's high I value. In essence... if you are mounting a character on a Thunderwolf, stay away from I1 weaponry. Leave that for the Fast Attack Thunderwolves, it's much more efficent in their hands.

Evilbob Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I like the wolf blade, but I usually take a belt of russ instead of a storm sheild Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/190078-which-should-i-choose/#findComment-2252366 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarl Kjaran Coldheart Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 i pretty much agree with vorpal doom. the I5 is too good to waste, so a FB and SS (when combined with SotWB he gets downright nasty) to get best offensive/defensive capabilities. the TWC is where i place my thunder hammer. he rocks faces too.

Grey Mage Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Str 6 PW or Str 10 I 1 PW with stun? Actually, I think Id go with Str 6, ditch the stormshield, and get a belt of russ- extra attack, shreds through marines like butter.... yep, sounds good.

MagneticFreak Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I would so totally keep the frost weapon. We have lone wolves for that. The whole idea of a Thunder Hammer is to wound on 2+ (and to kill outright...) but having the initiative is too important. ...until you face a hive tyrant with lash whips. Down to initiative 1, always. Doc Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/190078-which-should-i-choose/#findComment-2252653 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar Volker Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 Thanks all. I'll go with the FB I think. I'm sticking with the Shield, partly because I like the image, and partly because he will be a bullet magnet.

Karack Blackstone Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Solid thinking, FB plus SS is a great combo. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/190078-which-should-i-choose/#findComment-2253773 Share on other sites More sharing options...
