Simo429 Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Which Saga do you find you have the most success with and if different which do you enjoy the most? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/204719-favourite-saga/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simo429 Posted June 21, 2010 Author Share Posted June 21, 2010 I'll add in a silly rules question at the same time instead of starting a new thread If you take a special weapon instead of your bolter in a grey hunters squad do you keep your bolt pistol and close combat weapon so you still get the bonus attack in close combat?

WolfLord Digby Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 I like warrior born but my fave saga would be Beastslayer. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/204719-favourite-saga/#findComment-2441377 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gen. Confusion Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Saga of the Bear is my favorite. Its great when you can take a demolisher cannon hit to the face and then say "is that the best you can do!".

Skirax Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 I run Ragnar alongside my Wolf Lord with Bear - he's great for soaking wounds, and if I really want a points soak, I'll put a stripped down Lord with Wulfen and Bear to soak even more wounds.

Allerka Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Depending on how many points I'm doing, I'll either put Bear or Warrior Reborn on my main Lord choice. With Bear and a Thunderwolf, he makes an awesome anchor to make sure his line gets held. In larger games (i.e. 2500 points) I'll swap it out for Warrior Reborn since he'll be one of three ICs, so I can handle the loss and his added firepower makes up for it. Wolfkin seems like it'd be great to have if I could squeeze it in when I use three ICs, since all six attached wolves would become I5 making them even deadlier. I've actually gotten them into combat in my last few games, and holy hades they tear stuff apart. Between the six wolves, they're averaging 2-5 kills a game, usually against Space Marines, so they're definitely getting theirs points back for that.

Skirax Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 @Allerka, It's Warrior Born, not Reborn. But that sounds like beastly unit. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/204719-favourite-saga/#findComment-2441536 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allerka Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 @Allerka, It's Warrior Born, not Reborn. But that sounds like beastly unit. Whoops, my bad (yay for posting before breakfast). But yeah, it is a beastly unit. Two Wolf Lords and a WGBL on Thunderwolves, plus a unit of them, fully assembled they destroy anything they touch in combat (seriously, I haven't even come close to losing with them in combat against some of the nastiest stuff in the game). The main Lord has Bear or Warrior Born as I mentioned, the other has Majesty to make sure they stay where I need them to (though the few times I've actually had to use it I failed the re-roll too, so it hasn't been very useful so far :)), but no saga on the WGBL. I'd like to stick Wolfkin on him, just need to free the points up for it. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/204719-favourite-saga/#findComment-2441545 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf Guard Nostromo Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 I use Saga of the Bear for the expensive lord, but really value both beastslayer and wolfkin - in their place, both can be worth far more than their meagre price tags suggest - 2 packs of 15 I5 wolves (inc cybers and the saga) costs just over 260 points - bargain to put 30 models down of that speed and hitting power. Beastslayer is also really handy on an appropriately equipped IC - with a frostblade or claws they can kill fexs and daemon princes before they can even react, and isn't that what sagas are all about? Saga of the Bear does save you alot though - there are many strength 8+ weapons out there <_< Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/204719-favourite-saga/#findComment-2442641 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarl Kjaran Coldheart Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Saga of the Bear does save you alot though - there are many strength 8+ weapons out there :sick: in all seriousness, I use saga cause of every ninja power fist that streaks across a combo to one-hit kill my Wolf lord these last 10 years. no more sucker punches. it really sucks when a punk with a pfist insta kills the new WL model you just finished. now my lord isnt as killey as he can be, but by russ and the all-father, he can take a beating and give it back.

Stormshrug Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Instead of a Wolf Lord, I run a Battle Leader with Saga of the Hunter. It's not as good as a Thunderwolf Lord with Saga of the Bear, but the mental game I get to play with my opponents is fun, and it fits my WGBL's fluff as a combat pragmatist with a penchant for ambushes. -Stormshrug Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/204719-favourite-saga/#findComment-2443049 Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix1787 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 i would have to say beastslayer is mine cause it is fun to look at the face of your opponent see your wolf lord take down a bloodthirster on its last 2 wounds :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/204719-favourite-saga/#findComment-2443074 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freman Bloodglaive Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I would add my vote to Saga of the Bear. The ability to wade through a unit of terminators, or ignore a Librarian's force weapon is invaluable.

Hotspur Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I like Saga of the Warrior Born; I love the look on opponents' faces when I tell them my twin wolfclaw Wolf Lord is going to get an extra six attacks in addition to the rest of his attacks! :o Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/204719-favourite-saga/#findComment-2443324 Share on other sites More sharing options...
