Sol622 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 So i think im pretty sold on switching over to the Fang, guys. Thanks for all the help. I just had a quick question. I keep seeing lists with Long Fang packs with Plazors as transports. Because the Razor has no firing points to you just deploy the Long Fangs in a good shooting spot and use the rozorback as a mini tank?

lordsloth Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 mostly, yes sometimes you deploy one or more of your long fang squads in the razorback for one 12 inch shunt to get them into position from turn2 on. Depends a bit how many viable firing lines you have access to from your deployment zone.

Stormbrow II Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 It allows you to get further up the board in Dawn of War missions so that you get better positions for shooting in later turns. I also use the Razors to hide my small Grey Hunter squads that come in from Reserve.

red_starrise Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 It allows you to get further up the board in Dawn of War missions so that you get better positions for shooting in later turns. Exactly. Plus, the razorback's Las/Plas loadout is useful w/ a 12" triple shot killzone against infiltrators, a 24" mid-range & a 48" long range it's fairly versatile, good at threatening marines & is very mobile. I always mount my long fangs now due to having them start the game off the board or in poor position & having to settle for hoping for targets or wasting up to 4 turns moving to a good position. It's absolutely worth the points for the added mobility & firepower for an army that doesn't have the greater availability of heavy weapons that some other marine armies have since most of our army is focused on skirmish range (12-24"). ++++reason for edit: I can spell, honest!++++ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/240887-a-question-about-longfangs-and-rozorbacks/#findComment-2909660 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baragash Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Title made me think of this: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=rozzer But then the SW are effectively the Emperor's police on other Legions, so maybe someone should paint a Great Company in Met Police colours :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/240887-a-question-about-longfangs-and-rozorbacks/#findComment-2910185 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back OT: I'm sorely tempted to be really horrible to the next person I play and stick Grimnar in a fully tooled-up unit of Long Fangs and give them a Land Raider. Just 'cus.

Quillen Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Been there done that. It was so funny. Logan with 3 melta cannons and 2 plasma cannons walking all over and killing everything. lol I popped a Land raider and then plasmaed the 5 termies that fell out. lol Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/240887-a-question-about-longfangs-and-rozorbacks/#findComment-2910385 Share on other sites More sharing options...
breng77 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I popped a Land raider and then plasmaed the 5 termies that fell out. lol Unless you popped the raider with a different squad this is illegal. You need to declare split fire targets prior to shooting.(I believe.) and as the termies were not a legal target at that time you cannot shoot at them.

I've heard of other SW players saying they will split fire, then shoot a couple shots at a vehicle and not destroy it, then decide to fire the other guns in the same squad at the same target. That too is not allowed. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/240887-a-question-about-longfangs-and-rozorbacks/#findComment-2910411 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to declare split fire targets prior to shooting.(I believe.) and as the termies were not a legal target at that time you cannot shoot at them. Correct. Not legal with the same squad, as the unit's Shooting is simultaneous, even when against split targets. Unless you popped the raider with a different squad this is illegal.

I've heard of other SW players saying they will split fire, then shoot a couple shots at a vehicle and not destroy it, then decide to fire the other guns in the same squad at the same target. That too is not allowed. That's right. Also not allowed. The Space Wolves player should declare all shots from the unit at once (i.e. these three guys at that Land Raider, and these two remaining guys at that Command Squad), then start rolling to hit.
