Frostwulf Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 I was really excited to put my new lone wolf into action for the first time today. I have him geared in TDA with TH/SS and he was ready to go monster hunting. I played against my friends nurgle demons army and he was using the really big fat one(cant recall the name of it). We squared off in an objective mission with 2k points each. Within just the first 2 turns his tub of lard had managed to wipe out nearly a dozen of my grey hunters with his big blast weapon and with the start of turn 3 my lone wolf was into position. A little grin went across my face because i knew i would be able to hold him in close combat for a few turns and keep him from blowing my grey hunters to smithereens, boy was i wrong. He landed 2 wounds on my LW so i need 2 invuln saves and to my surprise i get snake eyes on the role. He died without even so much as one swing, a sad day indeed.

S. Bloodhowl Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Unlucky mate, clearly those cursed gods of chaos caused rage to affect your dice rolling. REMATCH, REMATCH, REMATCH!

Stormshrug Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 I sympathize. Such are the risks of Herohammer. I'm sure he'll make it up to you in the future. -Stormshrug Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/205062-a-sad-day-for-lws/#findComment-2445982 Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuckinbermuda Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Personally I make it a personal goal in games to destroy my opponents newest addition or newest favorite unit, even if it is not the best target to hit. The blow to moral is usually worth it :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/205062-a-sad-day-for-lws/#findComment-2445985 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niiai Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Well, his greater demonds cost about 3 times as as mutch as your lone wolf so I am not so supriced. You need to soften him up next time with plasma fire from that drop poded long fangs pack!

spu00sed Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 I've lost one to grots before! He charged a screeniong unit of grots, forcing them to counter charge him so his brothers could charge pass them into an Ork mob. Problem was he couldn't hit the stunty green skins and they wore him down.

Wispy Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Where you not able to use feel no pain? (keep in mind i dont know the strength of a nurgle greater daemon or any of its wargear) If he needed to use his invulnerable save, he was being attacked by power weapons. Thus, FNP would not work.

Stormbrow II Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 I suppose one of my Lone Wolves taking a Guard army to the face and emerging alive would make up for this? 2 Hydras, Leman Russ Plasma Variant (5 templates), 3 Chimeras plus Guardsmen inside (2 Melta squads in range) and a Psyker Battle Squad's Blast attack all added up to a dead pet and a solitary wound on my LW during a single round of shooting. He only managed to kill a Banewolf, a Chimera and the Psyker squad before he went down but I managed a draw because of it. ;) TDA/SS/Chainfist and a pet wolf is the set up although I'm seriously considering giving him another pet.

Brother Remus Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 I had the same sort of thing happen a few weeks ago. Needed my Lone Wolf to just hold a Deathwing squad in combat for the turn he charged, he did nothing to them amazingly, but then he failed 3 storm sheild saves..

Hotspur Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Personally I make it a personal goal in games to destroy my opponents newest addition or newest favorite unit, even if it is not the best target to hit. The blow to moral is usually worth it I like doing this too. Taking out their newest, shiniest toy is so gratifying! Especially when it's done with a LW.

JMac Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Isn't it a waste to put TDA armor plus a SS? Also, how'd your GH get blown to smithereens? Were they foot slogging? Sounds like even when your LW got into CC it was just bad luck, get 'em next time! Edit: Just thought about it and remembered the 2+ save upgrade.

Grey Mage Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 It could be worse- a friend of mine saw his warhound go down from full in a single round, in close combat, to three fire dragons and an avatar. If it hadnt been the first time hed ever been able to use the thing, it would have been hilarious- I was mostly just happy it didnt take out any of my Grey Hunters with a nuclear blast.

Freman Bloodglaive Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Those who use chainfist and storm shield on a Lone Wolf, how do you model the weapon combination? There aren't any right-handed chainfists, or right-handed storm shields.

There aren't any right-handed chainfists, or right-handed storm shields. Convert the Storm Shield to a Right handed hold...its pretty easy honestly.

The Son of Russ Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 It was the big fat nurgle thing? Why not use a rune priest with JOTWW next time. If he rolls a 3+ hes gone mate... Never coming back. Big fat flubby monster would be eating 'Father NUrgle's' sick. Yeah... Son.

Big fat flubby monster would be eating 'Father NUrgle's' sick. Yeah... Son. I also tried this and he passed, the dice gods were not with me on this day. I did eventually whittle him down with my LF's and the game ended in a draw with both of us only having 1 troop unit left contesting on an objective. Also, how'd your GH get blown to smithereens? Were they foot slogging? Im still pretty new and have only been able to buy 1 of my 3 packs of GH's a rhino Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/205062-a-sad-day-for-lws/#findComment-2447096 Share on other sites More sharing options...

There aren't any right-handed chainfists, or right-handed storm shields. Take a modeling knife, take the chainblade off the chainfist and put it on a right handed powerfist.

Stormbrow II Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Isn't it a waste to put TDA armor plus a SS? No. With the amount of fire he'll draw especially low AP weapons having the 3+ invul will keep him going that bit longer than a 5+ would. It also means that he can more reliably stand up to MCs and Power Weapon carriers in combat.
