2k vs Space wolves

Well last night I played against a friend of mine that dropped vanilla to go space wolves. He's a pretty formidable opponent. It was my first time playing wolves and it was his first time for BA. We played 2k. It was cap and control spearhead. I got first turn. My list was something like this:

 

Mephiston

 

Sang Guard with chapter banner and power fist

Libby with JP

Priest with JP and Power Sword

 

RAS (5) melta, power fist

RAS (5) melta, power fist

RAS (5) melta, power fist

 

1 priest with a RAS (5)

All 3 in razorbacks with TLAC's

 

DC (5) thunderhammer, power sword

RB with TLAC and dozer blade

 

DC Dread with melta, heavy flamer, blood fists

Drop Pod

 

Baal Predator with TLAC

 

Vindicator with Dozer Blade

 

He ran 3 HQ's. I believe they were Logan Grimnar, Canis Wolfborn, and a rune priest

 

I can't type out the whole battle report. I basically saved the sang guard squad and mephiston for his HQ squad. I was able to assault his HQ squad with a RAS to nullify his counterattack for the final battle, which really helped me out, the SG really wrecked some face and took out all of his wolves. He then murdered everyone except the SG PF, the libby, and mephy. He was able to move his rune priest into 24" range. I'm not exactly sure which piece of wargear it is. But he just had to roll a 4+ to cancel my psyker powers. Mistake on my part, he was able to cancel ALL of Mephy's powers which really hurt me. I couldn't even get my force weapon off on his HQ's. And I made another mental error in not getting my DC there as well. But it was about a 1400 pt battle between both of our squads. EPIC. So he won the epic battle and I wasn't able to get my dreadnought into contesting range. We tied.

 

Really fun game I couldn't have asked for much more.

The piece of wargear you're referencing is the Runic Staff, the Space Wolf Psychic Hood. Auto-negates on a 4+.

The special character rune priest negates on a 3+. Overall I like the simplicity of the Wolf staff versus the compared roll for the hoods.

 

Sounds like a fun battle.

I've been helping my older brother with his space wolf army, they are rough house. There are just so many good choices in their codex its hard to go wrong with just about anything. And man can they shut down psykers. If you are depending on a psyker to really pull some weight on your side you HAVE to deal with their rune priests quickly and efficiently, but good luck with that. Sounds like a good game even without a full battle rep. The best are always close.

 

By the way, anyone else notice how quickly space wolves respond to anything in our sub forum? I think they may be trying to invade. :(
