Kjarl Bluetooth Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Hi fellow members of the Fang! Since the release of the new codex, I've been re-configuring my existing 3rd edition Great Company (previously sporting Haakon Stormbrow pack markings - see 2e codex!). After much deliberation I've finally decided to go with the Iron Wolves - the up-coming release of Spearhead and the new FW decal sheet featuring every pack symbol finally swung my choice!! The only info I can find about WL Egil is the short description in the codex - he's heavily into his bionics and rides into battle in his LR. To me this says: TDA & TH/SS. However, I thought about having him posed in the hatch of his LR directing his armoured forces. The hatches are PA sized so he'd have to be armed with: Runic Armour & TH/SS. Points-wise both options cost the same - 180pts - and have the same save 2+/3++ so I'm guessing it's just down to my personal preference. I'm inclining to PA as I've sourced a number of Iron Hand bionic legs and bolter arms which would fit into the theme of the pack and allow me to make a unique conversion. What do you guys think?

Hrothgar Beastslayer Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 well if your taking a storm shield, you should take runic armour over TDA, 1st of all, its the same SV, it has a 5+ negate psycic ability, you can sweeping advance and you dont take up 2 transport seats. its also 5 pts cheaper. yes the TDA has the 5+ invul but when you take the SS it doesnt matter. Fluff wise, i think 2 or maybe 3 land raiders should be taken (2000pt games?) and all squads should have transports. A dread or two and some predators should make your armoured bite a little more toothy. maybe make a model for the hatch but dont glue it so you can pop it off when he disembarks Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/196074-wolf-lord-egil-iron-wolf/#findComment-2335785 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kjarl Bluetooth Posted March 27, 2010 Author Share Posted March 27, 2010 maybe make a model for the hatch but dont glue it so you can pop it off when he disembarks That was the idea - just replace him with a normal tech when he disembarks.

Firenze Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 I say 2 TH in TDA with Saga of the Bear. Thats what I do and it is evil in combat. EVIL! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/196074-wolf-lord-egil-iron-wolf/#findComment-2335901 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanyPrawny Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 I was tempted to do the same but then thought of chain-fists, just not sure how Calgary he would look. Want a proper bear guy for my armoured column. Might as well call him Egil. Who knows how to take apart armour better than the armour master himself :cuss Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/196074-wolf-lord-egil-iron-wolf/#findComment-2336024 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vash113 Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 I always lean towards Terminator Armor for characters, but since you have the Iron Hands parts I'd say go with Runic Armor, a Frost Axe or Thunder Hammer and a Storm Shield.

NuclearMessiah Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 I don't imagine he is in TDA and it seems the description of the wolf lords tends to mention if they wear it :) I was working on a conversion myself for him but it ended up being an Iron Priest. I took my iron Hands bits and for the legs found a SW set of legs that matches the pose of an IH one and replace one leg. Then add in an equal mix of bionics and SW stuff for the half machine look. Now I have yet to discover a way to represent a cog toothed Space Marine especially since like an good SW I imagine he has plenty of facial hair. As for his load out I guess that's entirely up to the player. I imagines him with a TH also but I did not include a SS.
