tednificent Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 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.

Decoy Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 The piece of wargear you're referencing is the Runic Staff, the Space Wolf Psychic Hood. Auto-negates on a 4+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesI Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 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.

Tabgoi Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 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. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
