techmarine Azuris Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I usually dont run WG with my hunters but willing to try something new squad so far is 9xGH PF,MotW, Melta, WB and rhino ;) So for WG i was think FB, BP + MB 43 points or PF, CombiM (altho 5points = proper melta) 43 points too Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/239190-fb-vs-pf/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
dswanick Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 A couple thoughts : 1. If you insist on having a Power fist in you GH pack, give it to the Pack leader. His 2 base attacks and 20pt fist are points better spent than a 25pt fist on a A1 model. 2. If you're going the Frost weapon route I've had good luck with a Stormbolter/Wolf claw Pack leader (36pts). He enhances the GH packs shooting (instead of detracting from it) and still delivers good close combat abilities. Plus, without the extra FB/CCW attack, the Wolf claw is a cheaper option that still wounds as well as a Frost weapon.

techmarine Azuris Posted September 26, 2011 Author Share Posted September 26, 2011 Well had a bit of a test against mate, and i found the set up with version one worked the best, as I only charge MCs (never dreads) his wounding was fine he took 2 wounds of a DP, and claw just failed tbh :P PF hunter is just good enough works well wacking that annoyin IC especially with standard. I find PF a waste on WG! :tu: Thx for your help, gnna do some testing and post back :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/239190-fb-vs-pf/#findComment-2885740 Share on other sites More sharing options...
red_starrise Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 For my plasma pack I usually run: x8 GH, PG, PW, MotW, WS, WG - TH/Combi-Plas in rhino w/ nothing extra For my melta packs I usually run: x8 GH, MG, PF, MotW, WS, WG - PF/Combi-Melta in rhino w/ nothing extra Although for my rear-guard GH pack I run: x6 GH, PG, PP, PW, WG - FB/BP in HB razorback w/ a storm bolter It really just depends on what job you want them to do honestly, the plasma pack's job is to either take & hold an objective or route an enemy off of it, the melta pack's job is to pop vehicles that are on/near objectives or that are a thorn in my side. The rear-guard's job is to protect my long fangs & vindicator against enemy outflankers such as stealers or scouts while also having that extra mobility & firepower to make a late-game objective grab if need-be. In each squad, the wolf guard accompanying them complements their job well.
