thor1234 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 As the title suggests I am trying to find out which of the sagas my fellow Wolf Lords are legend for...... obviously it comes down to wargear as a factor when choosing a Saga..... I am currently Building my Wolf Lord (i've always fielded Ragnar as my lord!!!) amongst his wargear is a mighty Thunderhammer, now I cannot decide to use Saga of the Bear for some eternal warrior goodness or Saga of the Beastslayer to re-roll those hits against those tough opponents, Saga of the Beastslayer looks good as I tend to roll poorly so as my lord Will be hunting big nasties I figured i'd make every hit count, afterall 5 S8 attacks hitting on 3's re-rolling to hit rolls will easily put down a carnifex, Hive Tyrant or Daemon Prince, however I am worried about him diying in one hit from S8+ atacks, primarily powerfists/klaws and Big WARBOSSES......... So I began to consider Saga of the Bear to allow him to take those fists and still be alive at the end of the round.......... Stuck, I turn to my Wolf Brothers for advice....... Advise me :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/239852-sagas-of-legend/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union.Jack Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Saga of the bear with a Thunder hammer. It means he can't be insta killed before he gets to strike.

Blacksad Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 unless you mount him on a Thunderwolf... slightly less risky. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/239852-sagas-of-legend/#findComment-2893741 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hear da Lamentation Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 My Lord rolls as follows. If on his bike, he has thunderhammer, storm shield, runic armour, saga of bear If on his Thunderwolf, he has wolfclaw, storm shield, runic armour and either no saga (if I cant afford it) - or Warrior Born. Basically for me (which I why I dont use Ragnar) I can't accept the possibility that a grunt with a powerfist (or meltagun/krak grenade etc) can take my 200+point Lord down in 1 hit. Therefore my rule is - if he has Toughness 4 .... you've got to go for Saga of Bear.

Max_Dammit Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I have 2 (every lord should have a guard that can best him in battle) the real lord is on a mount and has saga of the bear (shiled and frostblade) The 2nd is on a mount with 2 wolf claws or 1 claw and a shield and he has warrior born. Haven't used the last one, and the real lord i kept forgetting he had it so it was of no use and didn't mis it as he ate everything he faced in 2 turns (one game turn) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/239852-sagas-of-legend/#findComment-2893852 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiguriusX Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 You can use a WP to gain similar benefits to Saga of the Beastslayer....if there are no big things then leave the WP with your GHs to help them fight infantry That way you can choose Saga of the Bear, go hunting big game and have a witness to tell your tale!

Scyld Fireblade Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I have two lords. #1. Thunderwolf, Frostaxe, Stormshield, Runic Armour, Wolftooth Necklace, and Warrior Born. #2 Terminator, Thunderhammer, Stormshield, Wolftooth Necklace, Wolftail Talisman, and Bear. Neither of them has ever fallen in battle. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/239852-sagas-of-legend/#findComment-2893942 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bikeninja Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I have multiple incarnations of my lord, Argus ShadowWolf. In all of them Saga of the Bear is the way I go. More for Fluff and survivability then any other reason. I keep the load out the same as well. Storm Shield and Frost Blade. This is whether he is on his bike, T. Wolf, T.A., or standard power armor.

thor1234 Posted October 7, 2011 Author Share Posted October 7, 2011 as everyone else detailed their Lord's kit I should do the same: Thunder Hammer, Runic Armour, Storm Shield (its a Mantle really so the lord can wield his hammer in both hands! :P ), Wolftooth Neckalce and as it now appears Saga of the BEAR!!!!! as a bonus i like the Oath of the Bear: hunt characters!

Lord_Azoth Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Mine is really expensive but He´s a reall badass, Terminator amour, TH + SS, + the amulet allows him to strike always 3+ , bear saga and for 5 pts 5+ again pyshics. I really love him, I can engage him with anything on the table Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/239852-sagas-of-legend/#findComment-2894576 Share on other sites More sharing options...
old git Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Agreed on saga of the bear for a lord, he really does need to survive to swing the hammer. I like to take beastslayer on a living lightning/jaws rune priest. Combined with a chooser (and the recent errata stating you need to roll to hit with psychic shooting), re-rolling jaws on a 2+ is a cheap way to bring down those big nasties.

skoll Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 mine depends lately i've been fielding ragnar a lot. But its either bear with TH or Warrior born with frost blade on TWM.

Valerian Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I always play Ragnar, so Saga of the Warriorborn has already been chosen for me. I've never been disappointed with his performance. If I played a DIY Lord, however, I would probably go with Saga of the Bear, too.

Frontline989 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I am part of Bran Redmaws Great Company and when I field my Lord I give him saga of the warrior born to reflect him going all wulfen on them. Though in my mind Bran does not actually transform he just gets a severe bloodlust.

Freman Bloodglaive Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 My Wolf Lord, on the one occasion I've put him on the table, ran with the Saga of the Bear, two power fists and a jump pack (belt of Russ). He killed things quite nicely, but I don't think he's a perfect unit.
