Radikus Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Army Size = 1850 So im fairly new to 40k. Been playing on and off over the last few months with friends models and trying things out. I have settled on SWs to be my first 40k army. Ive purchased all my paints and brushes and a troop squad which I have almost completed. I know my basic foundation is going to be 3 GH squads and 3 Rhinos. Also 1-2 Long Fang Squads. My question is that after I finish my foundation where do I go next? I havent seen too many 'named characters' for SW armies that people use. I know I will run atleast 1 Rune Priest. Ive tried a couple of things. Like a Wolf Lord in termie armor w/ wolf guard in termie armor in a LRR. But I felt like the cost of it was too much. Ive seen people run Wolf Lords w/ Thunderwolf Calv as HQ choices, but im at a loss of where to purchase those models. I really dont know what to do beyond the basic foundation of my army. Any and all advice would be welcomed and very helpful. Thanks!

Warhorse47 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Welcome to the Pack! You've got a solid base to start from for a mechanized force plan. If you have not yet bought the transports, buy razorbacks instead of Rhinos. You can leave the top hatches swappable to get double duty from them. Yup, a Rune Priest and W@olf Priest are definites for your force. Also, consider Ragnar, he is awesome with Gray Hunters. That will get you started. Play a few games, get the feel for the new pieces then add more. Have fun, after all, you're a Wolf!

Radikus Posted June 24, 2010 Author Share Posted June 24, 2010 Sorry I should of clarified. More of a take all comers type of list. As I build and gather more models I can taylor certain weapons to deal with different armies. Like if im facing a SM army I can swap some weps out for more AP3 type weps ect.. I dont want to go bleeding edge tourney style list. I can always go that road if I do end up playing in tourneys. But for now an all around build. Same thing applies, elites, HQ ect.. I really dont know what road to go down in that aspect.
