10 Scouts pack

[fjgarces]

Hi Brothers,

 

With the old codex I ever take a pack of 5-6 wolf scouts with meltagun and 2 plasma pistols or a plasma pistol and a power weapon.

 

With this new codex I’ve not played with scouts yet. I have new models (10, two boxes) and I’m going to build them. I’ve heard that with the new codex the more scouts the better. The old 5-6 scouts team doesn’t works so fine now.

 

And the question is:

 

How do you equip the scouts now? (The 10 guys ones) melta gun of course :D but the others... BP and CC? Bolters? Plasma pistol? Power weapon? OBEL and assault? OBEL and shoot? OBEL and kill tanks?

 

Thanks in advance

Javi

OBEL, kill tanks and assault anything which drops out. 7 models - WG pack leader with TH and Storm bolter, Mark of Wulfen, Power weapon, meltagun, BP+CCW.

why no plasma pistols?

[CainTheHunter]

I tend to roll "1" with these and hate making saves with 4+ armor :P

10 guys bp ,cc wepon,melta bombs

10 guys, 2x PW, Meltagun..... 190pts of infiltrating move-through-cover goodness.

 

Seriously, all the old builds work for the most part... 2xPP+MG is still excellant for tank hunting. 5 strong with a MG and a PW is what I still tend to run- cheap, and decent at just about anything.

I tend to run 5 w/ Melta bombs, Melta and PP. works well for what i usually run into around here.

[fjgarces]

Oh! you're making me happy :)

 

I can still playing as before. 5 strong, the less points the better.

 

But I'll make a 10 man pack, melta gun, 1 plasma pistol and 1 power weapon and try them.

 

Thank you all for your fast response

Or you could use your 10 models to build two packs of 5 each. Add a Wolf Guard Leader to each pack with a Power Fist or Thunderhammer and a cheap Combi-melta. This gives you some redundancy, and gives you more opportunity to overcome bad reserve rolls or a bad BEL roll where you don't get to come onto the board where you want to. Each of these two packs of 6 models can threaten any enemy vehicle or unit.

Except that by this all three elite slotes are effectively taken - 2 scouts + WG pack. No dreads, lone wolves or iron priests :P. I believe the Elite section in the C:SW remains to be the most contested, with Heavy Support running second.

[Grey Mage]

Id agree with that... and Id still say that you could do alot worse than choose WG+2 Scout packs.

 

Yet another reason I wish we hadnt lost our Vendread HQs.

[CainTheHunter]

I love wolf scouts :huh:. But I simply love the dreads as well :P.

Thats the exact problem I'm running into right now.

 

My current list has 2 Dreads and Wolfguard in it. In order to add WolfScouts something has to give. I just can't give up the Wolfguard as I really think they are needed for my list.

That leaves the Dreads, I could drop one to add the scouts, but as I've said elsewhere, that throws off the Synergy of the list. So, I would effectively have to drop both. It may work, I've got a new list running through my head which is even more bike heavy with 2 Scout packs.

 

I'll have to work out the points and post it in the Army Lists section...

[Ullr Direfang]

that throws off the Synergy of the list.

 

yeah, there i times i want WG in my list but i feel the WS are far better for their points.
