Brother Caleb Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 I'm looking at a 1000pt 3 man FFA or 2v2 game this Sunday. I would appreciate it if some of the old wolves would give my list the once over. 10 Grey Hunters Flamer Melta PP PF WS MotW DT: Rhino 9 BC Melta PP PF DT: DP WL Attached to BC Runic Armor FA SS WTN SotBS 6 LF 5 ML DT: RB 6 WS Melta Bombs 3 Snipers Melta 2 PP 994pts. I'm considering replacing my WL for Ulrik, which would keep me at 994pts. Thoughts?

Grimtooth Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Rune Priest for possible psychic defense, not so much offense due to 3d6 from Nids. But at least try and get Tempest Wrath off to mess up Demons deep striking.

Grimtooth Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 3d6 on your leadership tests to use your psychic powers due to the tyranids special rule about the warp. However you will be able to null other nid psychic stuff on a roll of a 4+. And the demon army is going to have to deep strike his whole army, so try to get Tempest Wrath to go off to keep him worried about deep striking into dangerous/difficult terrain.

Brother Caleb Posted May 26, 2010 Author Share Posted May 26, 2010 If I go RP would you recommend attaching him to the BC pack? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/202544-1000pts-please-advise/#findComment-2413574 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChapniK Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Brother Caleb, just a few remarks before I get to the army list, instead of putting your equipment list vertically put it horizontally its easier to read and takes less space. Secondly,could you put the unit choice in order of: hq, elite, troop, fast, heavy. This also makes it easier to read army list. Now for your list. 10 Grey Hunters Flamer Melta PP PF WS MotW DT: Rhino 9 BC Melta PP PF DT: DP WL Attached to BC Runic Armor FA SS WTN SotBS 6 LF 5 ML DT: RB 6 WS Melta Bombs 3 Snipers Melta 2 PP 994pts. The Wolf Lord is to expensive at this point level he's almost a fifth of your army points, I would swing for a Wolf Priest. This would also booster your Blood Claws.Your Wolf scouts are all over the place, I would focus more on the close combat side. The grey hunter setup is good but i would remove the plasma pistol also remember to select the melta for your second special weapon choice as it will be free. The Blood Claws should lose the plasma pistol and also the drop pod. A rhino would be better since, when they drop from the pod they cant assault and don't have that much firepower. The Long Fangs are fine, but you could switch for a rhino, so in case the need arises you could shoot out of the top or go pick up the blood claws if you keep the drop pod. here is my list that I would try: Wolf priest: SotBS:110 (blood claws) Wolf scouts: x6, meltagun, power weapon, MotW: 130 Grey Hunters: X10, Flamer, Meltagun, PF, WS, MotW, drop pod: 235 Blood claws: X9, meltagun, PF, Rhino: 200 Long fangs: X6, X5 missile launcher, razorback w/heavy bolter: 180 this leaves around 145 points for you to play with Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/202544-1000pts-please-advise/#findComment-2413644 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormshrug Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Definitely run a Rune Priest. -Wounds Daemons on 2s. -If the 'Nid list is heavy on 'Fex variants, a well-placed JotWW can single-handedly swing the game in your favor. Force Weapons are also brutal for this. -Tempest's Wrath is great, for the above-mentioned reasons. -Plenty of Psychic Powers to cancel on a 4+ with the Rune Weapon. -Stormshrug Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/202544-1000pts-please-advise/#findComment-2413728 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Caleb Posted May 28, 2010 Author Share Posted May 28, 2010 A rhino would be better since, when they drop from the pod they cant assault and don't have that much firepower. I'm confused. I thought a drop pod counts as an open topped vehicle, which allows units to assault after disembarking. Further, if the rhino moves then the disembarking unit cannot assault. Did I miss read either of these? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/202544-1000pts-please-advise/#findComment-2415131 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Requiem of the Wolf Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 A rhino would be better since, when they drop from the pod they cant assault and don't have that much firepower. I'm confused.

Did I miss read either of these? Rhino moves before they evac,they cant assault. If they disembark and then rhino moves,they can assault. DP becomes an open topped vehicle AFTER it lands and the passengers Disembark.

Ail'Slath'Sleresh Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I suggest you ditch the idea of a 3 gamer FFA... It will not be fun for anyone because it will either end up in a double team or two players duking it out while the 3rd loses nothing and sits back opening fire.

Interestingly our last game did degenerate into a two on one, but we still had fun, I like rough odds. On the other hand, it looks like we'll have a fourth this time.
