Baba Lem Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Give it two turns and that four attacks thunderhammer smacks Mephiston to a pulp. If there are a lot of the mentioned storm shields, I'd just try to negate their effectivity by hitting the dogs with amassed Str 5. That'll make the stormshields doing nothing for the heckload of points dumped into them. Deathcompany's just so good at tearing through the TWC, on the charge anyway. And even regular Assaults do it well. If you lack the numbers of men, just let them ride through arcs of two roaring Baals.

Ranwulf Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Get him some back up, like... Furioso Librarian! Or against TWC lords I would charge him with a nice Deathcompany.

BLACK BLΠFLY Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Weight of attacks is the best way to deal with TWC. Obviously any S10 you can bring to bare is good as well since any failed save insta gibs a wolf.

SamaNagol Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 But really though.... a Saga Thunder Lord is more points than Mephiston. So I wouldnt expect him to be able to take on a Lord PLUS a unit on his own. That would be ridiculous.

BLACK BLŒ FLY Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Here is my best offense|defense versus TWC: Libby - Rage & Sword 5x Honorguard, •2x stormshield & lightning claw •pair of lightning claws •stormshield & thunderhammer •Novitate They all have jump packs and ride in a Stormraven with Furioso (pair of Bloodfists) in tow.

Godhead Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Why fist fight a boxer? Just shoot them with all your crazy assault cannons? Or just drag them down with weight of numbers and charge them with like 2 10 man assault squads with a priest in the mix. Remember the lord never has more than 3 wounds.

Jarl Kjaran Coldheart Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 The best way to deal with T-Wolves is baal preds. the twin assault cannons backed by heavy bolter sponsons can saturate the unit with so many wounds its crazy. most of the time i lose my T-Wolves it is to this. also, the T-Wolves are ld8. so anything that can force a morale test cant hurt either. i would hesitate to use dreads, as the thunder hammer or power fist can make short work of it, and with them all having SS, the dreads attacks are largely wasted. so again, lots of assault cannons and heavy bolters. a few plasma guns double tapping can ruin days also.
