Freakiq Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I'm trying to build a fluffy army based on Erik Morkai. I'm wondering though, if I give him the Saga of the Hunter will he be able to join and deploy with the Scouts if they use their Behind Enemy Lines rule?

CainTheHunter Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Sagas - Can an HQ with Saga of the Hunter outflank with a Wolf Scout unit and use Operate Behind Enemy Lines * The character may join a scout squad which is outflanking however, as it only grants the character the ability to outflank they may not OBEL Source - the new FAQ, quoted from here. I am assuming You remember that Saga of the Hunter is for Wolf Priests and WG Battle leaders only, so no Wolf Lords, including Erik.

Wulfebane Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Special homegrown rules, a-gogo! I debated making a character for this earlier today. Can't decide which a prefer more... Oath of War for a pack of scouts, or the potential to have an outflanking model with a thunderhammer (or equivalent). IMO they both cost the same, because the WP comes base, including his Wolf Amulet invuln. save and I'd feel compelled to give my WGBL a SS for a similar invuln. since they don't have access to a Belt of Russ.

Freakiq Posted October 7, 2011 Author Share Posted October 7, 2011 Totally missed that, thanks to everyone. Guess Erik will be directing his army from within the safety of his Terminator Wolf Guard retinue.

I am assuming You remember that Saga of the Hunter is for Wolf Priests and WG Battle leaders only, so no Wolf Lords, including Erik. Umm, the "new FAQ" you're quoting is from 2009. GW has released several FAQs since that time, and the most current one I'm aware of (V1.1, dated Dec 2010) states this : Q. Can an Independent Character that has joined a WolfScouts pack outflank? (p27) A. No, unless he has the Saga of the Hunter, or another special rule, which allows him to outflank. Which most people I know interpret to mean that an IC with SotH attached to an outflanking Wolf Scout pack can benefit from BEL.

elithren Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 There have been plenty of threads arguing about the use of saga of the hunter and OBEL. Look them up and make a decision as there is no clear yes/no answer to the question, only interpretation of the FAQ and the codex.

I attach a Wolf Priest for the very handy Oath of War and then add a Pack Leader with the Thunder Hammer that you're looking for. Some folks knock the durability of Wolf Scouts, but I haven't found that to be an issue in a unit with a Thunder Hammer, plus three Power Weapons, plus a Scout with the Mark of the Wulfen, plus a few regular Scouts, all rerolling to hit.
