Hfran Morkai Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Well with news of the return of small scale games with kill-team who else has thought of a Wolfblade force? I'm sketchy on the details but it sounds fun. So there's four named Wolf Blades. Haegr will have Thunder Hammer, Bolter and relentless (the bolter is to represent his two bolt pistols, though for some reason he can shoot them further...) Torin will likely have a power sword and bolt pistol, perhaps a Heavy Bolter instead if HS choices can be taken Ragnar will have Frost blade, bolt pistol and furious charge Valkoth with some sort of sword, maybe a plasma pistol And any left over points will be standard WG/LF pack leader of we can Thoughts? I've not seen the book so this is just speculation at the minute.

Godhead Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 I haven't, but i'm slowly working on my House Bellisarius guard army that I'm kind of wanting to use my SW models as wolfblades and use the grey knight stats for them. I'm just having a hard time moving past a grey knight in space wolf skin.

hmk17 Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I've been playing with the idea myself for any type of kill team scenario. So far Haeger and Torin have served well as Lone Wolves.

Emperor's Scourge Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 This is probably just nitpicking, but Ragnar used his regular chainsword until Belasarius awarded him a master crafted frost blade for his defense of their home. Not really a big deal. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/193016-space-wolf-kill-team-wolfblades/#findComment-2292986 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Bjoern Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I just took a very short look into the new book yesterday. You will have 200 points and you can choose 0-1 Elite, 0-2 Troop, 0-1 Assault. Don´t know how this is working exactly, but i guess that you can choose single models from those Units. For example 2 SW scouts (so no WG cause only 0-1 Elite) and so on. Next weekend i will take a closer look.

Not really a big deal. Aye, if I can't find enough points I shall give him a humble chainsword, if I have points to spare it shall be after the events upon Terra. Might give him rending actually, but it would make less sense.

Hfran Morkai Posted February 21, 2010 Author Share Posted February 21, 2010 Been tweaking with lists and this will probably be my "fun" list. A competitive list would probably use Wolf Scouts/Grey Hunters as the starting units. I present my take on the Wolfblades: Valkoth 38 Wolf Guard Power Weapon Combi-Plasma Meltabombs Relentless Haegr 43 Wolf Guard Thunder Hammer Ragnar 43 Wolf Guard Frost Blade Meltabombs Furious Charge Torin 38 Wolf Guard TDA Heavy Flamer Hit and Run Unnamed 18 Wolf Guard Unnamed 18 Wolf Guard (The unnamed will be given suitable names. Could someone refresh my memory of the name of the Wolfblade who died on Hyades?) Also, Torin will likely be modelled in suitably ornate Power Armour but I really wanted a heavy/special weapon and it seemed the best way to represent the way he comes across in the books. I also wanted a power weapon haha Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/193016-space-wolf-kill-team-wolfblades/#findComment-2293713 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battle-Brother Wags Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 I'm sorry these aren't wolfblades, but how sweet/effective would it be to use lone wolves? With all their special rules built in? They'd be devastating. I suppose you could counts-as them as wolfblades, though :-) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/193016-space-wolf-kill-team-wolfblades/#findComment-2293991 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only four models? 1: Wolf Guard 2: Grey Hunter 3: Grey Hunter 4: Thunder Wolf Cav Dude Or am I reading that wrong? There'd be no reason to take scouts or Blood Claws.

Hfran Morkai Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 I don't remember Torin with a heavy Flamer in any of the books, although there were several places where he had a heavy bolter. :lol: Problem is there is no way to get him a Heavy Bolter unless a house rule was implemented It might just be my insanity but I seem to remember something about a flamer, I think it a suitable replacement, though I will want to model him in PA. I might just make him pistol and Power Weapon. That seems very strange to me. Only four models? I think you have to take squads at minimum size. So at least 5 Grey Hunters, 3 Wolf Guard and so on. Considering you can only give three special rules it would seem a bit silly otherwise.

Daffydd Fireclaw Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Oh man, it's a shame you can't use more than 1 lone wolf, they'd be epic and would actually represent the characters quite well, particularly with the addition of the universal special rules.

Ravenger Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 wouldnt an assault cannon resemble a H bolter more than the flamer would Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/193016-space-wolf-kill-team-wolfblades/#findComment-2295025 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schertenleib Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Wolf Guard lost their Power Armor Heavy weapons in the new dex. So I would lean more to the Assault Cannon myself.

Hfran Morkai Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share Posted February 23, 2010 Yeah. Decided against the Wolf Guard route in the end thanks to a nifty suggestion from a buddy during lectures today. Valkoth 40 Grey Hunter Power Weapon Wolf Standard Furious Charge Torin 15 Grey Hunter Flamer Scouts Ragnar 15 Grey Hunter Rending Unnamed 30 Grey Hunter Plasma Pistol Unnamed 30 Grey Hunter Mark of the Wulfen Haegr 60 Lone Wolf TDA Thunder Hammer Haegr being a Lone Wolf is to represent the fact he is a tank and my Torin has a flamer, even if it didn't appear in the books. I like the idea of Torin being a relatively cunning/sneaky Wolfblade and of course the closer that flamer gets the better. I feel 8 bodies might be cutting it fine but it's about style and telling a story. I don't see Kill-Team being uber-competitive, then again I don't play games that way but it should be a barrel of ale laughs turning up with six models. These will feature in the 40K in 40 minutes Kill-Team tourney they have planned at my store and their saga shall be told.

Grimtooth Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Haegar as a Lone Wolf really makes sense considering the several times he runs off by himself to kill a ton and the FnP rule will represent him getting wounded but still killing.

Grimtooth Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I did similiar but dropped the flamer and plasma pistol and instead went meltagun and added two fenrisian wolves to the Lone Wolf. Lone Wolf, w/TDA, thunderhammer, fenrisian wolves x2 Grey Hunter w/melta, Tank Hunters Grey Hunter w/power weapon, Furious Charge Grey Hunter w/wolf standard Grey Hunter w/Mark of Wulfen Grey Hunter w/Rending Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/193016-space-wolf-kill-team-wolfblades/#findComment-2295958 Share on other sites More sharing options...
