Skirax Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Hi guys, I'm going to the TF event in October that will involve most of the games being Planetstrike. For the Attackers, I'm thinking of using this; Space Wolves The War in Golconda Planetstrike; Attacker Wolf Lord Arnfinn Kjarlsonn Blackmane – 200 pts Runic Armour, Wolftooth Necklace, Frost Blade, Wolf Tail Talisman, Belt of Russ, Saga of the Bear (9) Varangi Pack “Kraken’s Wrath” – 567 pts (-1 LP) Blackmane Ingmengjarl, Belts of Russ (-2 LPs) [TDA Wolf Guard With Storm Shield and Thunder Hammer] +1 LP Drop Pod – 35 pts (10) Grey Hunter Pack “Storm Fang” – 215 pts Plasma Gun x2, Plasma Pistol, Power Weapon, Mark of the Wulfen, Wolf Standard, +1 LP Drop Pod – 35 pts (10) Grey Hunter Pack “Ice Claw” – 225 pts Plasma Gun x2, Plasma Pistol, Power Fist, Mark of the Wulfen, Wolf Standard, +1 LP Drop Pod – 35 pts Dreadnought Sakarja – 115 pts Wolftooth Necklace Drop Pod – 35 pts Total; 1462 points So, my dilemmas are; 1) I don’t actually own any Drop Pods, so I’d be being all of them from scratch. Now I have my birthday coming up, so my parents could buy one each, and my two friends who are into Warhammer would buy the other (they agreed, not making any assumptions :D), and I would be able to afford the last. However, I have just about four months to build and paint them all to my average paint quality which is, not going to lie, pretty decent. Best way to batch paint four Drop Pods is my question really. 2) I need to buy a Space Wolves pack for the Varangi, which are, in Fluff, meant to be Russ’ personal bodyguard. So, how would I best represent them? They are, bear in mind, in Runic Armour. 3) How would I fill those last 38 points with efficient and useful units/models? Thanks so much guys, really appreciated ;) Skirax. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/232606-1500-pts-planetstrike/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillen Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 The TDread Armor in the first pod will need 2 slots to fit. You need 3 WG min and if you could squeeze out 2 more you could go with a Cyclone. The points in this game are small. So you have to be careful. Have you thought about a Mech list? Rhino's can be your friend.

Rhino's can be your friend. I've thought about it, but I'm not convinced on it. I may just go the way of a Rhino list, as I have several, but I'm thinking about the Drop Pods because some of these models are quite expensive. I'd completely forgotten about those Wolf Guard and their pesky 2 man slot. Well, I could just Deep Strike them (since in Planetstrike, they wuld still be able to) but as always, there's the problem of Mishap. I could go the way of the Land Raider Spartan...

commander alexander Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I haven't actually gotten a chance to play planetstrike yet, but I think whirlwinds and melta speeders would be good choices.

Skirax Posted June 21, 2011 Author Share Posted June 21, 2011 Well I'm thinking that I'm going to go with a Rhino Rush list and since Crusaders aren't allowed, a Spartan to take the Varangi to the fray.
