Casual Heresy Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Greeting fellow wolves. Since the Space Wolf codex was unleashed (released just dosen't sound right) I've adored the wolves. I was drawn to Space Marines because they were so heroic, plummeting from the skies and saving worlds. But with the wolves, every model is a heroe in it's own right. Which was proved by my Wolflord and battle leader as they proceeded to slaughter a Hive Tyrant, Zoanthropes, Raveners, Hive Gaurd, Venomthropes, they almost killed a Tervigon and an obseen amount of Gaunts. It was actually the best game I had played in months, even though I lost. But enough of my pledges of loyalty to the Fang. I do actually have a question for the Long Fangs. What would guys say is the best combination of powers for a Rune Priest against Tyranids?

Karack Blackstone Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Just remember that the big bugs get a -1 to their roll, and go from there. Jaws isn't too bad, but keep in mind you need to wound T6 to do any good with the other powers. Difficult and Dangerous terrain may not be enough on its own. How does one wound Strength...? Wow, bad mistake. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/204106-best-game-ever/#findComment-2433593 Share on other sites More sharing options...
S. Bloodhowl Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Damn!!!! I wish I'd gone to the store now rather than stay home for a BBQ!!! As for powers I would say Jaws of the World Wolf and either Living Lightning or Fury of the Wolf Spirits. Also I can't remember if he has Lictors but if he does take a Chooser of the Slain. If you have the points a (count-as) Njal :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/204106-best-game-ever/#findComment-2433605 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Requiem of the Wolf Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Damn!!!! I wish I'd gone to the store now rather than stay home for a BBQ!!! As for powers I would say Jaws of the World Wolf and either Living Lightning or Fury of the Wolf Spirits. Also I can't remember if he has Lictors but if he does take a Chooser of the Slain. If you have the points a (count-as) Njal :tu: Murderous Hurricane is the best option bar none. Make every nid go last in assault,make them take difficult and dangerous terrain tests constantly. not to mention on squishier units,3d6 S3 hits does wonders. and when you have 20 gaunts and you have to roll dangerous for all of them,chances are good its gonna kill a couple. A combo of Jaws and Murderous Hurricane would be perfect for Nids.

Skirax Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 From the sounds of it, you're facing a horde. I'd suggest Thunderclap and Murderous Hurricane. That can take out a lot of infantry very quickly, and since it doesn't specify a weapon type, I'm fairly certain you can assault afterward...

CarlSkaven Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 His army consists of a Tyrant, a Tervigon, 3 Zoanthropes, 2 Venomthropes, 3 Hive gaurd, and two large squads of Termagaunts and Devilgaunts. Definitive: Living Lightning for the big beasts ans murderous hurricane for the swarms of little bugs.

saphius Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Jaws is good against Zoes. MH is great. S3 can still get MCs. If you get a horde list your in awesome shape. Really slowing Nyds down is why you take the power. First priority of Priests against Nyds though is Psychic stoppage. KEEP HIM ALIVE. Stop the Zoes, Stop the the tyrants, stop the Broodlords.

Grimtooth Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 LL and MH with Saga of Beastslayer. Just about covers his entire army. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/204106-best-game-ever/#findComment-2433738 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vash113 Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Rune Priests are almost a must against Tyranids, but remember to keep them at range. You want them close enough to protect your troops from the Tyranid Psychic Powers, but not close enough to fall under the Shadow in the Warp effect. I prefer Living Lightning and Murderous Hurricane for that reason, allows you versatility in messing with the Tyranids game and you can still reach out and smack anything on the board pretty much.

Nacho Wolf Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 I'd have to say MH and jaws, as you can kill his big bugs with jaws, and make anything I1 with MH. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/204106-best-game-ever/#findComment-2434120 Share on other sites More sharing options...
