Demonslayer Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Add one more Great Company so you have 13. Apart from that I think it be nearly the exact same as our codex. Maybe in the more early stages there would be more Blood Claws, who where probably given bolters too. More Plasma, less Jump-packs and Dreadnoughts. For Russ's Body Guard, Bjorn mite be there depending on time Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/206753-russs-army/#findComment-2466397 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karack Blackstone Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 One more 10 man GH squad likely in a Rhino, or 9 depending on if you plan to attach. They had Rhinos back then, just no Razorbacks.

KiltedMarine Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Are we talking about the army he'd have led during the Great Crusade, or the one he has awaiting him right now should he reappear at the cusp of the 42nd Milennium? If the former, then: -No Razorbacks -Mark I Landraiders only, no Crusaders -very few (if any) jump troopers -very few assault cannons (alas the 'dex doesn't allow trade out for ACs) -lotsa rhinos and GHs- thematically I'd use a lot of plasma and flamers, but there's no reason not to use meltas too -none of the ICs out of the 'dex as they're currently listed- Logan & Ragnar aren't even born yet, and Bjorn maybe as a WG. If the latter, then: -the list you described works pretty well, to my way of thinking. Good on ya!

phoenix1787 Posted July 19, 2010 Author Share Posted July 19, 2010 it would be cool t organise a big army for start i have 11k if that helps ps 10k marines thats alot of money to spend i have to say i dont like rhinos to me they are a waste of space but thats my opinion but im still stuck on who to put in the squad of body guards im thinking if i was to do a story behind it i would say he has come back then i could use half the people in the army now Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/206753-russs-army/#findComment-2466676 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adarul Greystalker Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 I'd like to see some jetbikes. Of course, Russ himself wouldn't have preferred that style of fighting, but the concept of a wolf lord and wolf guard bodyguard flying ornate jetbikes adorned with wolf iconography seems sufficiently hardcore to find a place in the Primarch's personal strike force. I envision them with polearms or long-handled axes and combat shields myself. In addition, if this is Prospero, we would have to include a contingent of Adeptus Custodes.

Demonslayer Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Yep, leave the jet bikes to the Orks. If Russ came back now I think the best WG would become his body guard (ie.the battle leaders) and maybe some Wolf Lords if they where to give up there post. Of course, if it was a big battle with most of the Chapter/Legion could you Imagen the size of Russ's squad. Russ, 11 WL, 11 WP, 11 RP, 120 WG, 24 Wolves Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/206753-russs-army/#findComment-2467305 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ, 11 WL, 11 WP, 11 RP, 120 WG, 24 Wolves how come you have 11 of the guys not 12 i was also thinking that if russ had logan by his side it would be because logan could help dear old russ catch up to the times with the new armour and weapons out there cause well he has been in the warp for a little while and probably lost track of the date and all Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/206753-russs-army/#findComment-2467317 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daffydd Fireclaw Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 If you're thinking preheresy, for Russ's Bodyguard, there'd be :D: loads of them, and each would be the equivalent to a Wolf Lord in my opinion, as they would be the fiercest warriors in the legion, while also being among his oldest friends, therefore probably the most skilled. He'd also probably be accompanied by several members of each priesthood. As for the rest of his company, I'd say dozens of packs of Grey Hunters and Blood Claws, backed up by several long fang packs and many dreadnoughts, with a fair few land raiders and a few super-heavies just for giggles. Now, if you're talking about him returning to the chapter, then probaly quite a few members of each of the priesthoods, a lot of wolf guard, a few packs of grey hunter packs, a few blood claw packs, a few long fang packs, all of the named characters from the 'dex, etc. so pretty much what you came up with so far, although i would suggest slightly more dreads and maybe a few more packs of grey hunters and blood claws, maybe some thunderwolf cavalry and maybe a few packs of fenrisian wolves.

phoenix1787 Posted July 20, 2010 Author Share Posted July 20, 2010 i have to be honest i think i will go with your idea here but combine the 2 together so some more blood claws and grey hunter about 60 or so each then add some more dreads too as for the twc i dont really want to spend 25 pounds just for 1 unless some one can help me out here on the best way to convert them, and fersians wolves are in the process of being built Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/206753-russs-army/#findComment-2467482 Share on other sites More sharing options...
