Niiai Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 This was my list: Rune Priest, Living Lightning Murderus Huricane 100 1 Dreadnought: Melta, Heavy Flamer, Ekstra Armour, Drop Pod: 165 1 Dreadnought: 2 Twin Linked autocannon 125 4 Wolf Guard, 4 Combi Melta, Drop Pod 253 Wolf Guard, Terminator Armour, Powerfist, Missile Launcher Wolf Guard Terminator Armour, Chain Fist, Combi Melta 5 Grey Hunters, Melta Gun,, Wolf Banner, Razor Back 130 7 Grey Hunters, Melta Gun, Wolf Banner, mark of the wulfen Drop Pod, 170 8 Grey Hunters, Wolf Banner, Mark of the Wulfen, Melta Gun, Drop pod, 185 Land Speeder, Flamer, Multi Melta: 70 6 Long Fangs, 3 rocket launchers, 2 Plasma Cannons, Razorback, lascannon, twin linked plasmagun: 235 6 Long Fangs, 4 rocket launchers, 1 laser cannon, Razorback twin linked lascannon: 230 Whirldwind: 85 1748 This was the BA: 1 Mefisthon 2 Landraider w.Flamer in each was 3 hammer nators and 2 with storm claw and 1 priest 2 assault squads with 2 meltaguns He drove forwards turn 1. My turn 1: Landspeeders rolls a 1 while landing in terain (destroyed) I drive up heavy bolter RB and jump out, my dreadnought lands close to the landraider as does the 3 remaining wolf guards with combi meltas out of the second drop pod. No meltas (that is 6 shots) manadge to do anything against it. Also the lasercannons can not scratch it. Turn 2 he kills me. My turn 2, drop pod lands, no melta manadge to penettrate (by now the damadge be mephiston and the terminators is done). His turn 3, I have now a whirld wind left. My turn 3, last drop pod lands, meltas does not manadge to pentrate. His turn 4, he kills the whrildwind. At the start of my turn 4 I have 5 models left and 4 drop pods. I consede. What did I do wrong? Should I not have deployed the units in drop pods? During the game 11 meltas failed to do anything (OK 1 of them was destroyed before it got to shoot) and 7 of those 11 failed during the first turn. Did I do something wrong? Where the dices just bad? Do I need more melta? Do I need more thunderwolves with str 10? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/223353-wow/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godhead Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 You always need more thunderwolves :) Personally I don't like meltas in razorbacks. You have to get out to try to pop a transport, which if you fail, leaves you open to an assault. The other thing is, space wolves are an adaptable army. We can fist fight with the shooty stuff and shoot the stuff trying to bloody our noses. Blood Angels assault better than we do if they have the red thirst or a priest nearby. Meph and Hammenators assault better than anything in your list. You would have probably been better off using the pods to protect your units and work on whittling them down before they got too close. BA's move fast so you wouldn't have tons of shooting, but couple that with murderous hurricane then you could thin out his ranks and fought him on your terms. It seems like you dropped down had a spell of bad dice and got removed for it against a superior close combat force.

Olgerth Istaarn Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Harsh bad dice. A single LS isn't impressing anyone either. Maybe ditch the Whirlwind and get another LS? And some TW certainly wouldn't hurt. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/223353-wow/#findComment-2670910 Share on other sites More sharing options...
