marine77 Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 I have recently posted some thoughts on the pros and cons of taking both single thunderwolf models and multiple thunderwolf units. I would love to get some feedback on my post. You can find it here: Gone to Ground. Thanks!

Sgt. Aardappel Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Good thinking. I've never used Thunderwolf Cavalry, but I may just try them out in my next game.

Natanael Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 A good read, and I have actually never thought of using single TWC like that. Makes for a good unit in my soon-to-be-built shooty SW army. My close combat lists that I field now is better off with 2x4 =D - Natanael Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/214253-the-lone-ranger-v-the-wolfstar/#findComment-2550810 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimtooth Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 This had come up in another thread last week along with a tactics blog link. I put it into play this last weekend. TWC: FB/SS TWC: FB/SS I ran them behind my thunderlord and his Fenrisian wolves screen. I charged the TWC into a tooled up Vanguard Veteran squad equipped with storm shields and lightning claws with an attached chaplain. The first round of combat saw 4 dead Vanguard and 1 wound on a TWC. The second round saw 3 more dead Vanguard, no wounds on the TWC. The third round of combat, I lost a TWC, but the chaplain and remaining Vanguard were dead with help from a charging Logan and WGTDA squad. The remaining TWC then charged into a tactical squad, killing 4 before dropping to bad storm shield saves to a power weapon. So 205pts of TWC take out close to 800pts of a specialized close combat unit and almost half a tactical squad. I can live with that points to kill ratio.

LPetersson Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Interesting write up. I have been thinking alot about a Fast Attack army lately and have started buying TWMs in preparation. I have come to pretty much the same conclusions you have except that I intend to start my army by having 3x3 TWM squads. Not exactly totally pimped out, but they should do the job. Also, don't forget that you can get Iron Priests on TWM as well so I plan to have some 'Lone Ranger squads' as well in the shape of these. I was playing with some thoughts for a list here: http://tinyurl.com/37pbo6p I tried to reply on your blog but my LJ credentials weren't accepted :down: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/214253-the-lone-ranger-v-the-wolfstar/#findComment-2550934 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natanael Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 LPetersson: the IP is not so much of a lone ranger, since he needs his cybers to be any good, and he benefits greatly from a char with the wolfkin saga. Still, he is a great buy! - Natanael Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/214253-the-lone-ranger-v-the-wolfstar/#findComment-2551256 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPetersson Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 True, the IP isn't as good a lone ranger as a standard TWM, but the option is there... Although he would be very vulnerable to low AP weaponry since he can't take a Storm Shield.

Natanael Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Yeah. That is why you get cybers =D - Natanael Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/214253-the-lone-ranger-v-the-wolfstar/#findComment-2551557 Share on other sites More sharing options...
