Kassill Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Firstly, welcome to the Fang! Â As to your questions, point for point, you cant beat Missile Launcher Long Fangs brother! Â As for Bjorn, I often see him armed with a Plasma Cannon so your good there. Â Anyways, again, welcome to the Fang laddie, have an ale and make yourself at home! ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/230612-long-fang-and-dreadnought/#findComment-2771229 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Â Yes they really can do it all, almost ;) They can toss out Frag plates to disrupt mobs of infantry or target vehicles/heavy troops with krak rounds.

commander alexander Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Plasmacannons! I love me some plasmacannons! Honestly, they are one my most favorite weapons in the whole game. My long fangs use them often, and you will hardly ever see a dread of mine without one. Terminators? Be prepared to make a whole lot of invulnerable saves ;) ! Â I also loathe M. launchers, they never fail to fail me, unlike plasma cannons. If I want anti tank, I give my long fangs razorbacks with tl lascannons.

Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I tend to use two packs with 3x ML, 1x PC(no, not the computer, silly), and 1x LC supported by two TL LC Razorbacks and a TL HB Razorback. It gives me a nice all-rounder squad, and I don't lose out on some of the weapons firing because of the mixed targets due to the Split Fire rule. I can use the Razorbacks which are normally empty to go along the sides so that a vulnerable spot is always towards me. Try a bunch of combinations by proxy until you find one for your army. What is your army, by the way, and how do you plan to play it?

commander alexander Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I forgot, if you have the points for two long fang packs, I give another one all lascannons along with the TL lascannon razorback.

Â That's a of a squad, be a solid way of insta killing three pesky paladin squad and horse they ride in on. Before any one mathhammers my statement and points out the odds of a las taking out a land raider and then a squad of 5 paladins with invulnerable saves, trust me I know, in one turn it wouldn't happen. : P Â But I think that will be a squad I try with a 1750 point list, I like redundancy for armor destruction purposes.

Forté Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Welcome for starters. May your tankard be full and your meat be rare.  Long Fang wise, I'm currently looking at 3xML / 2xPC. That's only in 1000pts so shouldn't be too much AV14 about. ML are the all rounders choice of weapon for sure.

d@n Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Go for the plasma cannon with bjorn. A tactic i have been using is to tank shock a unit with a rhino to bunch it up then drop a super accurate plasma template on them. missile launchers on the fangs.

Fang of Morkai Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 I run mine with 2 x ML, 2 x LC, 1 PC Â MLs are nice and cheap but lacks that extra punch. Â Never EVER bother with meltas in a LF squad unless you have Grimnar with them.

Bjorns saga will not allow me to take him becouse im running Njal in my amry. so ill be adding a Ven dreadnought in is place. Â You are mistaken. You ignore that for special characters. P. 64 of the Codex: "Because the Space Wolves are a diverse and proud bunch, no two characters may bear the same saga. The exception to this rule is special characters, who have their own stories and abilities above and beyond the sagas. For instance, you could take a character of your own invention and purchase him the Saga of Majesty, despite the fact that you intend him to accompany Logan Grimnar, who bears the same saga." Â This also means that it's possible to take a Wolf Lord with saga of the bear, Arjac who comes with saga of the bear, and Logan who has eternal warrior and have 3 characters immune to insta death for example. So there's nothing against you taking Bjorn and Njal in the same army. You could take Bjorn, Njal, Logan, and a Wolf Lord all with Saga of the Majesty if you really wanted to Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/230612-long-fang-and-dreadnought/#findComment-2785229 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simo429 Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I used Bjorn at last weeks blogwars where special characters were mandatory and he was immense, 5 paladins and draigo fell to him in 2 turns worth of combat and he was half an inch away from winning the game for me.

Rune_Priest_Rhapsody Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I will chime in and mirror what others have suggested. Â -My Bjorn is magnetized, but most of the time he rocks the Plasma Cannon. Â -Long Fangs, four launches and a plasma cannon, or five launchers.
