wolf363839 Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 After years and years of playing Space Wolves, I've grown used to using my Blood Claws and Grey Hunters as the elite infantry that they are. And I built my armies to support these guys getting to grips with my foes unmolested. With the new 'dex, I've used a Thunderwolf Lord that eats up about 285 points. But boy has this hero come through in the clutch! My most recent battle was the GW 1750 tournament that is going on in my area. It uses kill points and VPs. You also get a bonus for killing the enemy commander. I took the risk of letting loose my Wolf Lord to do as much damage as he could. I played Tau with my standard all-comers mechanized force. It is led by my Thunderwolf Lord with the following wargear: Thunderwolf Mount (obviously) Frost Blade Storm Shield Runic Armor Wolf Tooth Necklace 2 Fenrisian Wolves Saga of the Bear 285 pts He literally circled the entire battlefield during the 7 turns we played. The Tau player hung back like he should have, but my Lord made it to CC in turn 3. He killed a 12-man firewarrior squad, 2-man broadside squad, 8-man pathfinder squad, and chased down a crisis suit squad and forced a hammerhead into the jaws of my GHs. Points-wise he killed his fair share, but more than that he saved numerous GH's and chased my opponent down to his last man. I have to say that I love the hero-hammer aspect of the Wolves now. It's a new experience for me, but it definitely fits the SW fluff and makes for great sagas.

ShotgunFacelift Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 I'm having similar fun with my wolf lord. at 1500pts I field him with a TH/SS/Runic Armor/Wolf tooth Necklace/Saga of the bear/Saga of the beast slayer + 2 x wolves (=285pts), tied to a 15 strong unit of fenris wolves......and I love him. Land Raiders, furiouso dreads, TH/SS termis, whole packs of kroot.....he slaughters them all.

Requiem of the Wolf Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 I'm having similar fun with my wolf lord. at 1500pts I field him with a TH/SS/Runic Armor/Wolf tooth Necklace/Saga of the bear/Saga of the beast slayer + 2 x wolves (=285pts), tied to a 15 strong unit of fenris wolves......and I love him. Land Raiders, furiouso dreads, TH/SS termis, whole packs of kroot.....he slaughters them all. One time I fielded my wolf lord,went FB,RA,WTN,WTT,SS,Saga of the warrior born with a wolf to soak up a shot. I ran him into my opponent (IG) and by turn 3 he was wiping out whole squads on each turn. At one point he had like 15 attacks. You can only have a single saga though shotgunfacelift...So you couldnt have bear and beastslayer both.
