Elric the Silvercoat Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I have a 2500 point tournment on Saturday and I need some help with an idea. In my list I want to put: Bjorn with Plasma Cannon 2 Rune Priests both with Choose of the Slain and one with Melta bombs 2 Venerable Dreadnoughts both with Lascannon and CCW arm with Stormbolter 4 Wolf Guard with Powerfist and Combi-melta 4 8 Grey Hunter Squad with melta gun, wolf standard, and Mark of the Wulfen in Rhinos 2 6 man Long Pack One with 3 ML and 2 Lascannon Other with 3 Heavy Bolter and 2 Plamsa Cannons And I was thinking of a Land Raider if I had the points. Would this be a good enough list? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/235163-needing-some-help/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torvak Kyre Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I was Just wondering what powers the rune priests have. In the GH squads I would drop the wolf standards and add another GH in. Also, put a Plasma Pistol in each squad. Put in a vindicator because of it's versatility. Add some fen wolves with cyber wolf. Put in some wolf scouts with a melta gun and a power weapon. I think it's within the points range. Hope I could help.

The reason for 8 Grey Hunters is because with the Wolf Guard its 9 guys and I can put the Rune Priest in the Rhino with them.

If you're going to run the Priests in the rhinos, I'd recommend giving one of them storm caller.

Ok so for the other 2 GH squads I would put 1 more in instead of the Wolf Standards.

red_starrise Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 whats wrong with the Wolf Standard? I like wolf standards if I intend to get up close & personal as I tend to roll alot of ones :) But if you plan on your GH packs mostly being firefight specialists then the 40 pts are better spent elsewhere. YMMV. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/235163-needing-some-help/#findComment-2832202 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalachiOfRuss Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I really like Wolf Standards. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/235163-needing-some-help/#findComment-2832204 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elric the Silvercoat Posted July 28, 2011 Author Share Posted July 28, 2011 Wolf Standards like 15 points. And if you kill a Space Marines because of it you have made its points.

Vantius Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Wow. Where did all this wolf standard hate come from? It is probably the one piece of war gear the hunters should have besides a meltagun. It is only 10 points. Bottom line is take them. You are bringing rhinos, which means you have considered bringing the fight to the enemy at some point. If you know you are going up against lots of MEQ's, swap the MotW for Power weapons. They will be more reliable. Or bring both. Definitely consider A vindicator and/or Predator. Since you have a lot of long range fire already, consider the vindi and scouts to push your opponent away from the board edge, and towards that str10 pie plate. Or hide a Lone wolf behind the vindi and deny line of sight until he get in range to cause havoc.
