kharn_the_betrayer Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I have the model and I was considering running him as a generic with a plasma pistol, but I was wondering if its more worthwhile just to run him as the named version. Thoughts? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/235049-generic-wolf-priest-or-ulric/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
postal105 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 at times i run my Ulrik as just a wolf priest with a plasma pistol other times as him self so it just depends on your mood i guess.

rodgambit Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I like a regular wolf priest because he is cheaper, can get a 2+ save, stealth and preferred enemy against infantry.

I can't really convert well, and like the Ulrik model. I'd prefer not to use a normal Chaplain model, just due to the unique nature of our army units. I like how he looks and don't mind using him as a generic, I just didn't know if the named version actually had some distinct advantages, I know a lot of our SCs are pretty good.

wolf363839 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I would definitely run him as a Wolf Priest because he makes a normal GH Pack significantly better with their usual target, infantry. You could also combine him with Arjac and a GH Pack for an expensive but highly deadly death star unit.

WG Vrox Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Because of the plasma pistol it would have been nice for Ulric to have a set of Runic Armor included on his profile. Being able to roll a 2+ against over heat for me is a big deal even on a two wound model, I always seem to roll a 1. A wolf priest with Runic Armor, PP, WTT, MB, WTN and Saga of the hunter for the stealth rule point for the point is just as good as Ulric.

Marmande Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 oooohh where is that helmet from?? Chaos Space Marine kit. The wolf helm from the SW kit should work just as well in a pinch.

rodgambit Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 This ends today if you are interested. Price is reasonable atm but not sure how high the bid is going to go. This is what I use, but building your own is also a very good option. I don't use any of the GW character models other than the generic rune priest and this Games Day wolf priest. http://cgi.ebay.com/Games-Day-2003-Space-M...a#ht_500wt_1156 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/235049-generic-wolf-priest-or-ulric/#findComment-2830940 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kharn_the_betrayer Posted July 29, 2011 Author Share Posted July 29, 2011 Thanks for the replies, I think I'm going to still run him as a standard, and test him out as an SC once in a while, I am just ripping out lists at a break neck rate, and debating different things as well as adding stuff (see the other topic I made a week or so back). I'm just trying to figure out which is the best points for points, thank you for the pointers. Part of the problem for me is that a lot of our SCs are actually very viable and very powerful compared to some of the other books.

rodgambit Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I actually disagree with your last statement. I feel that our SC's are overpriced and not worth it. Look at Logan versus say Draigo. I see Ragnar as comparable to a Khârn, however, Ragnar is soo much more expensive for a guy who can be instant killed by a PF. Bjorn is just a joke. 270 points for a model with no extra armour and I3, really? Custom built Lords and both variants of priest are the way to go, however, I will say that Arjac is hands down one of the best characters around because he can not be targetted. He is worth every point. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/235049-generic-wolf-priest-or-ulric/#findComment-2832505 Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is worth every point. 100% Agree Other than Logan you don't see many SCs used in tournament play and there is a reason for that. Ulrik needs RA for the points, Njal should have special RA that at least gives him a 5+ invol and Canis should come with 2 named fen wolves with better stats.

rodgambit Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I'm actually looking at a way to work Lukas into my list. Throw a small unit into a standard RB and shoot them towards the baddest thing your opponent has. I'd be willing to sacrifice them just to get a roll off against my opponent to have Lukas remove a Draigo, Abaddon, C'tan, etc...
