SyNidus Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Hey guys, I've been really thinking about making a pre-heresy army and more than anything the Luna Wolves calls to me. However, i know very little about their tactics, specialties, etc... So i was hoping to get some info in regards to the fluff/character of the army and the best way to represent Horus' legion before their descent. Much appreciate the help ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/233830-luna-wolves/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
malika666 Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Horus Rising is probably the best book to start. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/233830-luna-wolves/#findComment-2815026 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legatus Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 The Luna Wolves Legion is described in their Index Astartes article as "a flexible fighting force that can quickly perform well and adapt quickly to any situation. It was trained to respond sharply and decisively to the tactical orders of the Warmaster, and consequently the chain of command within the Legion was very efficient." So that sounds like the plain Codex Space Marines would be the way to go, as their doctrine was not unlike that of the Ultramarines. Either that or a markless and chaos-less Codex Chaos Space Marines, to represent the older wargear. But the Codex Space Marines without the newer vehicles and equipment should work as well.

Marshal Rohr Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I have made it my lifes goal to go ahead and suggest the Space Wolves and Blood Angels codex for everything. SyNidus has seen me post long enough to know Im teasing, but normally if I do it early enough the poster will act like they didnt already think of it and want someone to suggest it so they can pretend like they arnt bandwagoning. Again I know SyNidus isnt ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/233830-luna-wolves/#findComment-2815195 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again I know SyNidus isnt ;) Lol, you're such a troll :) In all honesty, it was more of CSM and C:SM. I decided to go for C:SM, wanted an elite feel for my tacticals...so i made them all sternguard! Still aiming for 1750, don't know what else to put in there honestly. HQ: Lord Virtus Sadaat (Counts as Pedro) -175 Capt.

Torvak Kyre Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I would use the Ultramarines rules with them. It's what i'm doing. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/233830-luna-wolves/#findComment-2815355 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reyner Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Put some Assault Marines in, they were mentioned a few times in the books with Luna Wolves. Or Terminators but they might struggle to keep up with your army (unless they are Tactical Termies and deepstrike to shoot fools).

Marshal Rohr Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 SyNidus, you may want to consider ambiguously modeling your army so you can actually use multiple Codexes depending on your mood that day. Say you want to feild a Luna Wolves Weapons team, with the Obliterator rules, or something. Personally, I wouldnt use Space Wolves or Blood Angels, but using C:SM and Codex C:CSM would be possible.
