Marshal Wilhelm Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 I think your Mathhammer is broken... Vs T3 - 32.7% better vs. T4 - 5.5% better vs. T5 - 16.3% better vs. T6 - 9.1% better You were just subtracting the %'s rather than actually comparing what % more effective the wolf claws are. I'd say it's a pretty noticeable difference against all but T4 enemies. A 9%+ increase in the amount of wounds you cause is pretty substantial IMHO. I was just about to do the same thing, cheers Voracioustigger Yeah Vash, not trying to gang up on you, but I agree with Voracioustigger. If a gun A has a 1% chance to kill, and B has 2% chance to kill, B is not merely 1% better [though that is true out of the total percentile]. B is 200% of A. My brother and I agree that 5% difference is a significant difference, even though it seems paltry. That means 10% is quite solid. I know a Blade looks cooler than a Claw, at least imo, but the Claw is where the power is at. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/208937-thunder-wolf-lord-best-weapon/page/2/#findComment-2499944 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rule of Cool > Mathhammer. Screw it, just use a Frost Axe as a "counts-as" Wolf Claw!! Best of both worlds!!!

Godhead Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Why choose? My new list runs a WL with TH/SS,RA.WTN,WTT, SOTB, a WGBL on TWM with a WC, sotwb, wtn,RA and then a 4 man twc unit with a TH/ss and one extra ss. 10 models total in the unit and it's KILLY as all get out. Yes its expensive, but it should deal with EVERYTHING under the sun. I'll let you guys know how it works out. I will say this though, I was reluctant to give the Hammer lord a shot, but I am REALLY digging the double hammer time. The WGBL is there for when I get ganged up on by 3 or 4 units of things. In theory it should work out pretty nice. I'll see about beating up on the boy with it on monday night.

Fenric Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 I like to use this load out... Wolf Lord on Thunderwolf Mount with Frost Weapon, Meltabombs, Belt of Russ, Wolf Tooth Necklace and Saga of the Bear. 245 Points for 6 S6 attacks on the charge, so he is fairly good at laying the smackdown on even the most suspecting of opponents. A 4+ Invulnerable, T5 and Eternal Warrior means he is rather difficult to bring down. Actually i would guess he gets 7 attacks on charge. It doesn't say as far as I seen that you don't get an offhand attack with a frost weapon(correct me if im wrong) so that would mean 6 attacks base for a TWM Lord and then 7 on the charge.

SJumppanen Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Since we have been talking about mathammer, then does anybody have numbers for regular PW?

Dahli Llama Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 PW on the charge: T3: 7 x 2/3 x 5/6 = 3.88 wounds T4: 7 x 2/3 x 2/3 = 3.11 wounds T5: 7 x 2/3 x 1/2 = 2.33 wounds T6: 7 x 2/3 x 1/3 = 1.55 wounds Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/208937-thunder-wolf-lord-best-weapon/page/2/#findComment-2501288 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJumppanen Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 PW on the charge: T3: 7 x 2/3 x 5/6 = 3.88 wounds T4: 7 x 2/3 x 2/3 = 3.11 wounds T5: 7 x 2/3 x 1/2 = 2.33 wounds T6: 7 x 2/3 x 1/3 = 1.55 wounds No offence, but those earlier charts for FB and WC were for 6 attacks (has SS) witch makes that one kind of interesting but impractical. But never mind, i managed to recalculate it my self.
