Draconis Thunderfist Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 First before my question. Hello all and I've been kind of a long time lurker here in a corner. Been playing wolves since a little before their new codex came out. I apologize for not talking alot in the forum. I'm a bit of a Lone Wolf... I play Logan wing. Been doing pretty well at tournaments at the local store on the coast. The last tournament I lost a match against an inquisition list for Grey Knights cause he pulled a pretty good synergy from his list. A Herectus Inquisitor with psyocculum attached to a henchmen squad with 3 plasma cannon servitors and some psykers with some sort of big blast template 36 range. The psyocculum makes the bs 10 vs psykers for the HQ guy and his squad. I run Njal for defence against psykers but as long as they stayed across the board I couldn't really do anything to defend against it. Plus the ammount of shots he was putting out kind of overwhelmed me. It was pretty close battle once I got close to him. Maybe it was dawn of war setup that jynxed me I dunno. Sorry If I was rambling somewhat my first post in a couple of years, but I was wondering if anyone else has gone against a list like that? It has henchmen as troops, vindicare assassin, 3 psyrifle dreads, alot of chimera transports too.

thor1234 Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 that is a NASTY combination! 3 plasma templates and a max S AP large template at BS10 is gonna ruin anyones day! as for the rest of stuff...... well grey knights have a very good codex at the moment, all you can do is go armed dont forget that the psykers cast the big template as a WHOLE they get 1 template regardless of how many are in the squad, secondly they ALL suffer a preils of the warp if they roll a double 1 or 6 on the test, and they are only LD 8...... also not forgetting that plasma cannons still 'get hot' he's running a unit that hits VERY hard at distance, but has a good chance of killing itself rather than you..... the dreads should be priority for the long fangs, while the units inside Cimeras unless Death cultists are usually squishy so squish em! thats about it for now...... hope this helps somewhat, now if you'll excuse me I have to see a man about some more ALE! :rolleyes: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/241032-opinions-from-my-wolf-brothers/#findComment-2910952 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiguriusX Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Sounds to me like you just had bad luck of the draw. That combo is designed to eat psykers and their bodyguard squads The proper counter to the combo as you explained it would appear to be hiding your psyker in a transport vehicle so he can't be directly targeted. If the psyker is not the target then no BS 10 for firing at a rhino. However, I'm guessing he had some backup to try and crack open the rhino for his combo. Your other option is keep more than 36" away. Living lightning has no limit so you can fall back while hitting him. IMO you just drew a tough nut to crack.
