Aiding a bloodclaw

[MaleOpener]

Very cool Company, Maleopener, and thank you for the feedback.

I'm going to try the melta/flamer combo as that's what seems best seen and would be useful against my foes around here. I cannot believe I missed that Storm caller power, that's really great because cover can be scarce for me on some of our table atmosphere's, and I'm keeping my liking of lightening.

Yeah, I do feel like just gluing the bit on is kinda cheap, but I can't buy a comander box just for one, so for now I'll just use melta-bombs, till I can ask around my gaming group for some spare bits and see what I can do.

I was curious about the lone wolf still. I wanted to try a TDA variant, but that gets kinda pricey for a one pack unit, meant to die or not.

 

 

You're quite welcome, and thanks for the kind comment :rolleyes:

 

I don't use a Lone Wolf much, but I think this link can help you decide :

 

Lone Wolf discussion

Thanks, that was quite insightful! I'm going to really try a Lone Wolf now, seeing so much positive feedback and use of one. TDA for sure, but as to the weapons I'm not sure, perhaps a TH/SS for some smashing, with a melta-bomb just in case.

 

I'm about to try and write a few lists out, but I wanted to get a few opinions on how many troop packs I should have? I'm using a full BC pack already, plus 2, maybe three GH packs, is that too much for a core?

I have found that a Chain fist/Storm shield combo works great for Lone Wolves.

As for Troops,you will want to have 1 full troop choice per 500 points in your army.

I would only use a 15 man BC pack if you have the points to put them in a Crusader,otherwise they will get chewed up too badly.

Otherwise,10 GH,2 special weapons,Wolf Standard,Powerweapon or Powerfist,in a Rhino. Mark of the Wulfen is also a good option.

 

Up to the first..2000 points or so,it is a good idea to spend half your points almost on Grey Hunters.

They will form the backbone of a asskicking army,they are almost as nasty in a fight as most other codex's veterans,and they are scoring units.

10 GH,Mark of the Wulfen,2 Plasma Guns,Power Fist,Wolf Standard in a Rhino is 245 points,able to take on Armor and Troops.

10 GH,Mark of the Wulfen,2 Melta Guns,Power Weapon,Wolf Standard in a Rhino is 230 Points,and still able to take on Armor and Troops.

 

I would recommend Alternating between the two set ups for your Grey Hunter packs.

That's some solid advice Requiem, thank you! I'm going to take my BC pack out until I can properly field them in a LRC or something close, that makes a lot of sense now.

I'll take 3 packs of GH with loadouts similiar to those listed above, but since I'm not using any APC's they'll be a little cheaper total though probly less effective.

But, now I've got some space since the BC pack is dropped, and I've no idea what to add. A WGTDA pack? Another HQ aside from Ulrik, like a Rune priest I like the sound off, but I'm not sure about powers since my local group is mostly Nids/CSM.

Ok...I would really really recommend giving them Rhinos...It helps a whole lot. I wouldn't neccessarily add in Ulrik,instead just do a normal Wolf Priest,since they are close to as good and far cheaper. And yes...Rune Priests are allways a good thing to have.

 

Murderous Hurricane and Living Lightning are my favorite Offensive powers. Letting you take a pack of 'gaunts and making them take dangerous and difficult terrain tests any time they move,fleet or assault is just pure win. Living lightning is a great thing for popping lightly armored vehicles.

 

If you put your Rune Priest with a Squad of Long Fangs,that can't get Cover,you can give him master of runes,Living Lightning and Stormcaller...and then they allways have a 5+ cover save,and you get even more vehicle popping action.

Well, I'd like to add some armor down the road, but as I've said earlier, I can't afford anything else for a good while, so I'm just trying to make do with what I've got.

I'm not trying to do a sharp competing list since my group is pretty laid back, but tryin to work with what I've got to do well!

Sadly, all the great tactics and recommendations so far I can't do or can't afford, so I feel badly for "wasting" my brother's wisdom...

It is not wasted if you remember it for the future.

 

Ultimately, It is up to you to forge your army to your liking...All we are doing is giving advice.
