techmarine Azuris Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Hi my local WH group (not rlly public sorry) is running a tournemant with a twist. Each army is required to have a 'hero', who must be a HQ choice of 125-250 points and CANNOT be a special character. You are ofc not limitted to one HQ choice. To keep with the spirit of the tournament I do not want to just use a rune priest, but would like a proper Hero as such. There are some special rules that come with said hero. 1. A hero is the might of an army and therefore his death causes all units to take a leadership test at unmodified leadership (fearless and army special rules apply). 2. In KP missions the death of a hero is 3 KP and 5 if killed by an opposing hero. Counts as 1 and 2 objectives taken in a objective mission (must not be killed by a troop choice) 3. The hero is allowed to boost one Stat by 1! as well as bestowing fearless onto the unit he is with. 4. To keep with the spirit of the game as well as my army list no TWCM. My army is based around 1DP squad 2 RB squads 1 rhino + RP (all greyhunters with melta/plas) as well as LF. My army is pretty feared and has always worked well. For my hero I was thinking of a WL on foot (ofc in some transport). I was looking at a FB/SS RA, WTA WTN and Saga of the bear pretty much a must imo, opinions? advice? Thanks in advance :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/229120-hero/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

techmarine Azuris Posted May 5, 2011 Author Share Posted May 5, 2011 Thx for the quick reply, why the wolves just to take wounds basically? What stat would u boost? Stick him with grey hunter squad i already have? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/229120-hero/#findComment-2748018 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalachiOfRuss Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Oh man, boost Toughness! With those extra rules you posted, survivability will be key. Or maybe Initiative oooo... You're killing me with the "no Thunderwolf" rule though... A T6 Wolf Lord on a T-Wolf? Oh man, I'd be all over that. You wouldn't even need Saga of the Bear anymore, you could give him Warrior Born instead, then you "ramp him up" on some weaker units to pump up that Attack stat, then send him against that enemy hero with his now 10 attacks or something like that...

techmarine Azuris Posted May 5, 2011 Author Share Posted May 5, 2011 I know its killing me too tbh, but since I havent lost at the club yet Im banned from using one :/ most ppl are allowed to stat boosts (on 2 diff stats), I kinda had to join in to save my reputation as this is a school run club (11-18yrs) and it was voted that me and my mate should have restrictions as we play cheese which we dont rlly oh well rant over sorry :o I forgot to mention its doubles with his C:SM scout army ;) Im facing S7 T6 DP armies :/ at least we banned 2/9spam and other unimaginative lists. Sorry Im thinking of running WL FB SS WTN WTT RA and Saga of the bear :) with +1 T so opinions?

commander alexander Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Selection sounds golden, but with runic armor, that wolf-tail talisman is redundant. fenrisian wolves are two wounds worth of meat shields if you want to take them. Other than that, the +1 choice should either go to; a.) Toughness b.)wounds or c.) strength.

skoll Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I would actually up S by 1 you'd be wounding on 2's vs meq , also see if you can fit a wolfpriest anywhere in your army so he can roll with the wolf lord, hitting on 3's with rerolls then wounding on 2's would tear anything up. (maintaining the set up you already mentioned). But thats just my opinion as I like the higher offensive value and saga of the bear will ensure you dont get insta gibbed anyhow. I tried an equivalent just a few days ago since I bought an emperor's champion cuz i loved the model and asked my friends if i could field just him as an ally in a friendly game, the man and a lone wolf assaulted and wiped 2 10 man blood angel squads. Note that they took no wounds ;) sadly the lone wolf costed me a kill point by the end of the game since the necron player teamed with the BA kept retreating his necron warriors even tough they had lost the game already, denying the lone wolf the glorious death he sought Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/229120-hero/#findComment-2748101 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalachiOfRuss Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Selection sounds golden, but with runic armor, that wolf-tail talisman is redundant. Actually the wording on them is slightly different. The RA gives a 5+ vs. psychic powers that cause Wounds. The WTT is a 5+ to nullify any psychic power that targets the character.

T and W, and for the saga use either Warrior Born for fun or Beastslayer with the assumption that other players will boost to T5. S6 T6 W4 2+/3++ is a thing to behold Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/229120-hero/#findComment-2748172 Share on other sites More sharing options...
