Ragnar Blood Giver Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Brothers I need some advice... as I bought this army from my brother.. not only did I not only get alot of wolves but also a bitz box. while I was going through this searching for extra weapons (searching for extra flamers/melta/plasma etc). not only did I find extra WG in TDA but also this model, a company standard banner. http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff123/emphand1/DSC00298.jpg http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff123/emphand1/DSC00299.jpg now this will get you all howling... in the old dex it was defined as to when you/can use the company standard. but I am missing it in the new dex, or if some one could point me to the relevent page.. I will buy a round in the fang for all... many thx Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/191031-brothers/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordsloth Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 closest thing i can think of is a wolf standard in a grey hunter squad. but thats not very company banner-ish Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/191031-brothers/#findComment-2265830 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragnar Blood Giver Posted January 29, 2010 Author Share Posted January 29, 2010 but its an old model from the wolves, so it must mean something? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/191031-brothers/#findComment-2265836 Share on other sites More sharing options...
commander alexander Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 I would go ahead and use it as a standard in a GH pack, don't let it wallow in the dust on some shelf.

lordsloth Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 but its an old model from the wolves, so it must mean something? Yes, it means that its old and no longer supported in its original function for the current iteration of the space wolf rules. (Fortunately it can be repurposed as a grey hunter banner) There is also absolutely no reason why this guy couldnt be in a wolf guard retinue for an HQ or something. The banner wouldnt have any game mechanics linked to it but it would still look good on the table and be fluffy. (Just make sure your opponent doesnt confuse it for a grey hunter banner).

CainTheHunter Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 The company standard before was carried by a Grey Hunter, the model IS Grey Hunter, so I don't see any reasons as to why he cannot carry on this standard as a Wolf Standard in the present edition.

Ragnar Blood Giver Posted January 29, 2010 Author Share Posted January 29, 2010 these are some additions to my wolf army, I did ask how to reuse the old WG metal versions.. have a look.. http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff123/emphand1/DSC00301.jpg remounted these old models. but have a look again 'the old and the new'.. http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff123/emphand1/DSC00302.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/191031-brothers/#findComment-2265903 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause we are not like other chapters, we get wolf standard instead which IMO is better.

PKAwolf Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 What? I had assumed that it is this model http://kofler.dot.at/40k/units/Space_Wolf_...dard_Bearer.gif and just pointing out an easily missed detail, I used to use that model and opponents regularly forgot he wielded a fist if its not the same model, I appoligize for the confusion EDIT: and on topic, yeah totally use it for your wolf standard Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/191031-brothers/#findComment-2266164 Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do get the benefit- wolf standards give a significant benefit- just like a combimelta though its once per game.

Valerian Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 also be advised that the has a Power Fist as his right hand (behind the flag) so you can avoid any WYSiWYG shenanigans What? What about that post don't you understand alexander? The model has a Power Fist. Its on his right hand, which happens to be the one that is holding the staff for the banner. PKAWolf was just pointing this fact out to Ragnar Blood Giver, so that he'd ensure that he was following What You See is What You Get (e.g. ensuring that he paid for both the Power Fist and the Wolf Standard for that particular model).

Ludo Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 If your opponent was happy, the rules for a wolf priest would suit a company standard well. Making a unit fearless and able to hate (sorry, "preferred enemy") anyone that comes near it is the kind of thing a company banner should do. If your opponent was happy... And if your opponent wasn't happy, a GH wolf standard would have to do.

SamaNagol Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 As per our current Codex, that model is a Grey Hunter with Power Fist and Wolf Standard. Question answered.

Valerian you can put powerfists on every model, and not pay for them, so they would not be power fists..... you could have a model, with no bolt pistol/bolter/CCW it would still have all of that, because its is wargear.... ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/191031-brothers/#findComment-2267962 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamaNagol Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 By Wysiwyg, if you have a model in your army list with a power fist, you can't have any other models with a power fist if they haven't been paid for. So he would have to check with his opponent. Although to be fair it is quite simple to just slap a Melta Gun in his left hand and you have a model that can be used in pretty much any Grey Hunters unit.

SamaNagol Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 That is an old Wolf Guard miniature from the 2nd Ed range. The right hand holding the banner is a Power Fist.
