S. Bloodhowl Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Been writing up my deep strike "we're gonna bin you in the face fast" list and need some help on the final choice. Heres the list so far- HQ: Wolf Lord-termie, x2 wolf claws, belt o' russ, Saga of a warrior born Troops: 10 Blood Claws-drop pod, deathwind 10 Blood Claws-drop pod, deathwind 10 Grey Hunters-flamer, melta Elites: 5 Wolf Guard- Terminator Armour x5, x2 wolf claws, power fist and assault cannon*, Frost axe and storm shield, thunder hammer and storm shield, chainfist and melta bombs, drop pod, deathwind *this dude goes with the grey hunters Ven. Dread.- Extra Armour, Wolf Tooth necklace, drop pod, deathwind The idea is for the Grey Hunters and Wolf Guard Leader act as a mobile fire base as the rest drop in beside the enemy. The grey hunter are also armed with a melta for any armoured encounters and a flames for infantry. Now what I need help with (and this is the only thing I want you opinion on, i like the list above as it is!) is the final unit. I cant make my mind up on whether to have a unit of 5 Wolf scouts with meltaguns, meltabombs and power weapon or a unit of 5 skyclaws with meltagun and power fist. Both would have the same role of destroying enemy armou and artillery (either deep striking or out flanking) and both have a similar flaw (what if the dont show up in time/come on in the wrong place). The only real difference is that the wolf scouts have better WS and BS but the Sky Claws get better armour and the Headstrong and Beserk CHarge rules. Can you give me your opinions as i cant decide, my heart(s) yearn for both but but my enhanced brain say i can only have one!

Grey Mage Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Scouts, you can infiltrate them... though I think the Meltabombs are a bit overkill and that those points would be better of invested elsewhere, like some psychic defense.

VorpalDoom Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Scouts, without a doubt. You funnel your enemy towards the middle of the board when you have them, and push them off the back table edge. Far superior to some WS3 jump troops that can, and will get shot to bits when they show up.

sniperhavens Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Scouts, I tried Sky claws in a 750 point game and they cant shoot so meltaguns are a waist, plus you cant shoot within 6 inches because of their headstrong rule.
