Alba Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Hi All, a group of us are playing a few doubles matches over the next couple of weeks, we are limited to 750 points each (making it 1500 per side) The only rule we have to stick to is 1 HQ and 1 Troop choice. For a HQ I was thinking of using either a Rune Priest, WGBL or a Wolf Lord as a herohammer on a thunderwolf mount. I've never played one before so was wondering what success folks have had Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/203478-750-point-doubles-army/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChainsawDR Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 I was slightly confused by the question, do you mean you've never played one of those HQ's before? Or you've never played a doubles army before? if so, who are you partnering with and what are you coming up against?

VorpalDoom Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 If you want the hero hammer punch, without the hero hammer cost, snag up 3 Fast attack choice thunderwolf cavalry dudes, each with thunderhammer+storm shield. 110 points each, so a bit pricey, but they will require a lot of attention to deal with. 3 of these guys running around is a huge threat for anything. I'd say stick with the Rune Priest as your HQ choice. I'd say, the rest of the list depends on your team mate's list. If he/she is going to take a pile of troop choices, keep yours at the minimum, get hard hitters like missile launcher long fangs, even in units of 4 missiles, or a unit of scouts. 750 is tricky, but if you want hero hammer, Lone Wolves and Thunderwolf Cavalry are your two prime choices at the point cost.

Alba Posted June 6, 2010 Author Share Posted June 6, 2010 we are allowed 1 HQ choice, but with the space wolf rules I can field 2, was thinking maybe 2 rune priests so i can have two chooser of the slain - i'm playing against Orks and Nids and want to stop their infiltrating was maybe thinking Saga of the warrior born on someone as it has the potential to rack up a good number of attacks Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/203478-750-point-doubles-army/#findComment-2425863 Share on other sites More sharing options...
S. Bloodhowl Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 If your using the Saga of a Warrior Born use either Wolf Claws or a Frost Blade/Axe so you can attack first most of the time, on a Thunderwolf you're still going to be strength 5/6.. I would go with a Rune Priest and Wolf Lord/Battle Leader, some Thunderwolf Cavalry and a unit of Grey Hunters in a rhino, the fill any spare points with upgrade/a Lone Wolf Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/203478-750-point-doubles-army/#findComment-2425889 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyson_Vore Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Grey Hunters are a solid choice, just 150 points for a maxed squad that can provide a good mid to close range capability.

the jeske Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 RP minimal GH squad maximal number of LF units with RL you can get chaos list DP 5man pm unit with 2 plas maximum 2 man oblit units you can get . But teaming up with IG is better to be honest. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/203478-750-point-doubles-army/#findComment-2425949 Share on other sites More sharing options...

But teaming up with IG is better to be honest. We get 750 each, not combined. so totalled we can field 750 worth of points, he's using a Daemon prince, summoned daemon, some plague marines and some noise marines, not sure what else. I'm aiming for Minimum: Rune Priest (not sure of what loadout) Grey Hunters x 10 - Wolf Standard, 2 Flamers (for the Nid and Orky hordes) Long Fangs x 6 - 5 Rocket Launchers After this i'm not sure, probably another Grey Hunter pack, 9 of them so I can stick the Rune Priest with them, if I have 2 Rune Priests then maybe put one in each squad, we are thinking maybe castling up and letting them come to us (playing for kill points) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/203478-750-point-doubles-army/#findComment-2425963 Share on other sites More sharing options...

To make a different example . one could also make a list with a RP maximum number of GH10 manx with 2 melta and MotW +power weapon. and a chaos list with a Khârn and maxium number of zerker 6mans[smaller then normal because points are short] with power weapons[again not the usal fists because of points restricitions].
