MeatGrinder Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 So having been playing my wolves again recently, I've been using squads of 8 GH with a WG, making for squads of 9. I was wondering if there is a more optimal setup? They're mounted in rhinos.

Grizzly Adams Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I have a hard time not taking 9, and the WG making 10. as cheap as they are, i'd rather have full squads. I tend to run mine - 9x Grey Hunters ---Meltagun, Mark of the Wulfen, Wolf Standard 1x Wolf Guard ---Combimelta, Powerfist Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/235377-ideal-mech-squad-size/#findComment-2834469 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simo429 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I don't think there is a perfect all round number. It depends on the task of the squad, for the squad that I use to hold home end objectives it isn't that big because there is normally plenty of other units to support if required while the squads that head up the table require a little more punch especially in close combat.

ORKILL Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I run 7-8 + WG as points allow. Less than 7 has not shown good results for me. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/235377-ideal-mech-squad-size/#findComment-2834543 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradimus Prime Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I agree with the above posters, around 7 to 8 in the pack is a good number for a Rhino based pack. I personally always run 3 packs consisting of the following:- Wolf Guard, Combi Melta, Power Fist 7 Grey Hunters Wolf Standard Mark of Wulfen Meltagun Rhino Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/235377-ideal-mech-squad-size/#findComment-2834546 Share on other sites More sharing options...
