What has your lord done?

[Uncooked]

My wolf lord has single handedly beaten off a full unit of assault marines with a two powerfisted sergeant and chaplain all on his own - after this massive feat of winnage he then died to 6 normal marines in close combat when he was left on 1 wound with 1 armour save to take... such is life :(

 

Thunder Hammer, Storm Shield, Runic Armour, Saga of the Bear, Wolftooth Tailisman 225points.

 

Always throw my Wolf Lord in with the drop Pod unit as i always allocate the ap1,2 + 3 wounds onto him, and when he gets into combat, its always fun to watch someone try and kill a model whos so tough. :P

[Requiem of the Wolf]

I bring a tale worthy of saga, and also a vote for keeping your wolf lord cheap - you guys have some real monsters! - Lord Frostbringer (he also has a bike, but thats another story!), on foot:

 

Frost blade, boltpistol, belt of russ, talisman and melta bombs (he had left his saga and runic armour in the Fang for this one, however thats possible :lol: )

 

160 points. He killed 4 terminators (he loves terminators!), 8 Tsons inc sorceror ( ok I was a little lucky with the force weapon), a warptime daemon prince and around 15 csms... 1 wound left. I like models with 3 wounds - I just seem to make saves on the last wound!

 

He has also torn apart ork, eldar and ogryn alike, and with his bike has crushed a number of fabled champions including Khârn, Eldrad, Vulcan and Calgar. I know saga of the bear can save him, but he just seems to do better without it! With 6 attacks at I5 not alot gets to instant death him with his Grey Hunters in tow.

 

My battle leaders have a selection of feats between them too, and while there is nothing quite like our favourite 200+ point lords, it really pays to keep them cheap (sorry thats a horrible turn of phrase). Don't always give your lord the kitchen sink!

True...But to my mind the whole point of bringing the Lord is to give him the cool toys and unleash him on my enemies. When I am tight on points,I go for a Rune priest and if I'm really hurting on points a Wolf Priest. As those can do far more (normally) then a low point Lord can with less point investment. I can see the value of a Low point Lord,though I think I got soured on the idea from the short time I played a friends Chaos army while I was building my Wolves and brand new to 5th edition from having played 12 years ago and 3rd,and until I played a Character with Eternal Warrior (Daemon Prince in this case) My HQ would consistently die in the first two rounds, Oftentimes by enemy IC's even if I hid him in a unit.

 

So if I am all ready planning to spend a minimum of 150-160 points for either Saga of the Bear or a TWM to help prevent insta-death while Wolf tooth necklace and Wolf tail Talisman are to me required pretty much,I should probably toss on some things to make sure he lives longer or causes more carnage.

Its just a different approach. Sagas are a really unique feature of our characters, and they can provide some really great benefits, but they do bump up the points cost. With the big selection of wargear that lords can buy anyway its really easy to just start giving them everything under the sun.

 

I do agree with your point about rune priest and wolf priests - in many circumstances they can provide a nice compromise to a cheaper lord or battle leader. My most common 'IC out of the cabinet' is my wolf priest (again, who sometimes has a bike and sometimes doesn't...). I just miss I5  :( and the lords bucket of attacks.

 

I do have a lord who is 250 points - he only comes out in games of more than 2k though as I can buy two cheaper HQs or another pack of hunters to spread the love around in a smaller or more competitive game  :wub: .

Thanks...had the idea after I reread saga of the Iron Wolf...+d3 inches and +1 to repair rolls. so with the servitors you get to repair damage each turn on a 1+.

[Freman Bloodglaive]

Well tonight was my first outing of my reimaged Freman Bloodglaive. After having a twin-fisted Blood Angel Captain eat half my army last week I assembled and painted my own twin-fisted Wolf Lord.

 

Wolf Lord, jump pack, two power fists, belt of Russ, runic armour, wolf tooth necklace, Saga of the Bear.

 

"Anything you can do, I can do better." singing

 

Tonight we played a 1500 versus 3 x 500 point battle, against three other players at the shop.

 

My Lord, backed by a Wolf Priest and a pack of Skyclaws charged into a 10 man terminator squad. First round they pulled down half the squad, but lost the Skyclaws, in the second the Wolf Priest took a power fist to the face and went down, but Freman was still standing on one wound. Five terminators dropped and the attached Librarian went running. Freman followed him, stopping to whack three space marines who were too close, but keeping close enough that the Librarian couldn't rally at the start of his turn. The Librarian fired his combi-plasma, two hits, two wounds... two saves. Freman shepherded him off the table (I didn't charge, even two power weapon attacks are two too many) and then went back to find more to kill. Fortunately the rest of my army had managed to deal with the rest of the enemies.

[Grimtooth]

Why two powerfist? +1 attack?

[Freman Bloodglaive]

Yes. It's a lot to pay for just one attack, but you could say the same about twin Wolf Claws.

[CarlSkaven]

I've charged my ThunderLord Yorik in a mob of greenskins and with the help of Saga of the Warrior born he was able to do 46kills ( 23kills in the last round ) before being taken down by the rest of the mob!

Sigged!

[LoneSniperSG]

Thus far, the best story is what he didn't do.

 

One little Eldar warlock survived ten CC hits from my Wolf Lord across three turns. Although.. that Warlock didn't make it to eleven.

[n00b in need]

My Wolf Lord usually goes with two Frost Blades, runic armour, Wolf tooth necklace, and a belt of russ, luckily Frost blades are supposed to be 10pts each not the 25 they say in the codex, check the faq for other things of note, but in a single game he destroyed three deamon princes that my opponent was fielding with his chaos deamons army, in one turn ;)

not to be a busybody, but you are aware that Frost Blades do not grant +2 strenght in CC right?

And not to further piss in your Ale but they are only 10 points apeice if you are in Terminator armor. Note on the FAQ the only thing it does is add the Frost blade and Frost axe to the bullet point with Powerfist on it not the cost. It also says 5th bullet point. in the PA selections PF is the 6th,and in terminator armor its the fifth.

 

Now...People have argued back and forth about whether two frost blades give +2 strength or not,and since its not covered one way or another,its kind of hard to tell. Personally I go with FB,SS and a TWM so i get my +2 strength regardless *grins*

Lightning claws gives you the ability to re-roll wounds

2 lightning claws grant a extra attack and the ability to re-roll wounds.

 

you dont get to re-roll the re-roll of wounds.

 

just as a 2nd power fist doesnt double the already doubled strenght, the frost axe doesnt stack.

Just thought it was funny how my Lord with 2 Wolf Claws on Bike with Warrior Born and Wolf Tooth Necklace completely mulched 60 Boys and 10 Nobs over 3.5 turns...

Gotta Love masses of troops and a Wolf Lord with Warrior Born lol.

[Phodos]

Wolf Lord on thunderwolf with Frost Blade, WTT, WTN cleared out 3 units of boys(20 each), one with Doc Grotsnik over the course of the game with one wound left

[Branek Icefang]

Wolf Lord Branek Icefang, Frost Blade, Belt of Russ, Saga of the Warrior Born - 185 Points.

 

100 OrK Boyz - 600 Points.

 

10 Turns of game time (we decided to go until my wolf lord died) - 5 hours.

 

The look on your opponents face as your Wolf Lord slaughters his way through a squad of boys each turn and then chases down the survivors? - Priceless.

 

Yeah, a 100 Ork Boy kill tally from a single game. Now that was a Battle worthy of the Sagas!

Mine ran up the side,but I had gotten a beautiful Drop Pod Deployment and had a full squad of GH right in the middle of his guys,who Plasma gunned a autocannon squad into oblivion and then did a right good job of scaring him.

ive been using a wolf lord on a TWC but im thinking of abandoning him for a normal TWC he just doesnt seem to do enough

If only you could give him saga of the warrior born AND bear. That would pretty much make it a 325 scary as hell unit.

I read this and couldn't help but think... "how does he steer the bike with dual claws?"

[JaegerAD]

he was in training with some White Scars , he now can handle his bike with his body :D

 

My lord killed yesterday Eldrad and an Avatar ( TWM,RunicAmor, WC,SS,WTN,Bear, 2 Wolves)
