Iago Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Just reading through the book. You can take a PW or PF even if there are less that 10 GH am I correct? Of course the PW would be a waste (more efficient to take a WolfGuard), but what about the PW?

eschonle Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 You are correct in being able to take PW or PF with a squad numbering < 10. I would say take the PF if you don't have anything that can easily deal with things of T5 or higher Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/192743-power-weapon-on-grey-hunters/#findComment-2288642 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hrothgar Beastslayer Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 would having say, a melta and plasma in the squad be a good reason to just take the power sword?

Prophecy Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 don't put Melta and plasma in the same squad. Plasma is rapid fire, whereas melta is assault. If you're close enough to use melta, you'll want to assault, and if you're not close enough to assault, melta will be out of range. Kit your gray hunters out for either close range shooty/assault or long range dakka. You'll be glad.

Marshal Wilhelm Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Iago Check out this; SPACE WOLF BLOG They give a break down on MotW and Power weapons, besides many other things.

Iago Posted February 17, 2010 Author Share Posted February 17, 2010 Yes, I am using one special weapon, and a WG with PF at least (combi weapon as well sometimes that mimics the one in the squad) and I was wondering about the PW to add some more punch to the squad.

TiguriusX Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 PW isn't too bad on a GH If you planned on giving your WG a combi-melta the GH ends up with the same amount of attacks in melee WG has base 2 GH has 1 + bonus for PW/BP Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/192743-power-weapon-on-grey-hunters/#findComment-2288858 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hear da Lamentation Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Or you could go for both. PF on the GH and a PF on the WG. This gives you a nice 5 power fist attacks on the charge. Nothing to be sneezed at. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/192743-power-weapon-on-grey-hunters/#findComment-2289113 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimmwulf Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I never let my GHs leave the Fang without Powerweapons. My usual Squad Loadout is for my toe-to-toe squads is 9GH, Melta, Powerweapon, Mark of the Wolfen, Wolfbanner, 1 Wolf Guard, Powerfist, Combi-Melta either in a Rhino or Pod. And my objective sitting squads 10 GH, 2x Plasmagun, Powerweapon, Mark of the Wolfen, Wolfbanner either foot-slogging or in a Rhino. If points are an issue however, i might not take shiny toys on the objective sitters and just leave them with 2 Plasmaguns.

Chucku Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I don't like paying the points for GH Power Fist - that's the WG's job (and he pays the same price & gets an additional attack). After running GH squads with all the trimmings (MOTW, Wolf Banner, Plasma Pistol and Power Weapon along with obligatory Meltagun) the one I'm least pleased with is the Power Weapon. I'm just not getting the wounds out of it that I want and can use the 15 pts somewhere else. On the other hand I just love MOTW - that's been an awesome addition and often the last GH fig I'll remove from a melee when I have the choice.

Godhead Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I've too have been less than impressed with the pw. As I have mentioned in a few other posts str 4 vs t4 hasn't been working out so well for me. Ive come to prefer MOTW for more attacks instead of the pw wounds.

saphius Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I have a few load outs. I'll assume you're looking for optimal point set ups rather than just fun or cool wargear options. If you want 10 models my optimal setup would be 9 GH Melta, MoTW, Banner, WG w/ PF + Combi-Melta. If you want 10 that pack a punch against MC's and MEQ units I actually run 9 GH w/ Plasma, Plasma Pistol, MoTW, Banner, WG w/ PF + Combi-Plasma. - This squad is typically a pod squad dropping and taking out the hardest hitting enemy. - If I have a land raider and Logan I'll add another model with a Plasma Gun, give the WG Termi and throw them in a crusader and give them relentless. - Giant point sink but not to bad in 2500pt games. The other thing I do is run them in Razorbacks. One of my new favorite builds since the Nyds hit is 5 GH w/ Flamer, MoTW, Banner, WG W/ Combi - Flamer + PF, Razorback w/ TLLC I combine that build with the following units: 5 GH W/ Melta, MoTW, Banner, WG w/ Combi - Melta + PF, Razorback w/ TLHB On of my favorite - and most expensive, but effective if you have other targets drawing fire - 5 GH W/ MoTW, Banner, Plasma Pistol, Plasma Gun, WG w/ Powerfist Combi plasma, Razorback, LC + Plasma gun. - That's seven plasma shots, two of them twin linked. Expensive and I usually only run 1 in 2500 pts and I only run it if I have 4-5 squads in razorbacks. I'm toying with ideas of running 10 GH W/ 2 Melta, MoTW, Banner, WG w/ PF + combi- Melta in a land raider redeemer w/ a Wolf Priest.
