littlbitz Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 So tomorrow morning I head out for the Mechanicon, a three day event, in which I am playing in two different tournaments. Last year I made a Space Wolf list and used the same list for both the Friday night Veterans Tournament and the GT itself. This year I thought I would change it up a bit and go for a strong theme. Logan Grimnar is departing the Fang on a Great Hunt, a quest for a missing Relic of the Space Wolves. Thorgrimm's Great Company, known for his fast and violent strikes into battle has been chosen to spearhead the assault and secure the area for the Old Wolf's Great Comapany. So for the Friday Night Tournament, I will be using Thorgrimm and his Great Comapany As you can see it is designed to be a very fast and hard hitting force. However, with only two troop choices, taking enough objectives is going to be a real challenge. I have goofed around with this list in games many times in the local arena, and it is truly an all or nothing affair with this list, I win big, or get crushed, but it is a heck of a lot of fun to play. For the GT on Saturday and Sunday, Logan Grimnar will be leading his Great Company on campaign. This list is a completely different play style than what I am used to, and the list is untested, but it is an expansion upon the 1000 point list I just won a smaller venue with. I am curious to see if the list being amped up 850 points will be able to stand up. (I should note that two of those Terminators were not finished at the time the photo was taken, I just put them in there to get an idea of how the whole army would look together) Here are the two armies side by side I am going to display both armies on Friday night in all their glory. This is going to be a great weekend... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/241385-the-great-hunt-begins-tomorrow/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emptyedens Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Go Brother, and bring glory home with you to the rout. While you're gone we'll keep the stories going and the tankards full waiting for you to once again join the rout with tales of your battles. For Russ, For the All Father!

Hear da Lamentation Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Go for it Littlbitz .... give 'em HELL ! I would love to see your army lists for those 2. Knowing your armies a little, I can guess a little of what you have chosen, but no vehicles at all in your Thorgrimm list is a surprise. Have a GREAT time mate - and have a few ales for us Wolves stuck at home and not revelling in the glory of combat !

littlbitz Posted November 3, 2011 Author Share Posted November 3, 2011 Thanks guys! Yes James you should make it out. It really is a great tournament, a real fun and friendly atmosphere. @HDL, For this tournament, I really wanted to take 2 seperate lists so that I could display both armies at the same time. This restricted some of my choices. I would have loved to put those two GH packs in Thorgrimm's force in Razorbacks, but simply didn't have the time to finish them for the Tournament. Here are my lists (from memory as I am at work, so I may be a little off here and there) Friday's List: HQ: Thorgrimm Odinson (WL) on a Bike with TH and SS, Runic Armor, WTT, SotB HQ: Wolf Priest Theodin on a Bike HQ: Lothar of the Hill People (WGBL) on a Bike with Frost Blade HQ: Erik the Master of the Hunt (WL) on a TWM with FB and SS, Runic Armor, SoWB Troops: GHx7 PG, PP, PW, MotW, Standard. +1 WG with Combi-MG and Wolf Claw Troops: GHx7 PG, PP, PW, MotW, Standard. +1 WG with Combi-PG and Thunder Hammer Fast Attack: Bikes 3+1, MG, PF, Melta-Bombs, Attackbike has Heavy Bolter. +1 WG on Bike with Combi-MG and Power Fist Fast Attack: Bikes 3+1, PF, Melta-Bombs, Attackbike has Heavy Bolter Fast Attack: TWC x3. 1. has Thunder hammer, 2. has Storm Shield, 3. Stock 4 HQs, and 3 Fast Slots I am going to try and get in close and raise some hell... Took a cue from Beef with this list, meaning strictly for giggles, I don't plan on winning, though I am gonna try. GT List: HQ: Logan Grimnar Troops: The Wolf Guard 10 total, 8 in TDA with a variety of gear 2 have Assault Cannons, 4 have Combi-Plasma. The other two lead Packs. 1. has Combi-Melta, PW and Melta-bombs (with the scouts) 2. has Storm Bolter and Power Fist (with the Blood Claws) Troops: GHx5 with Melta in a Razorback with Twin-linked LasCannon Troops: GHx5 with Melta in a Razorback with Twin-linked LasCannon Troops: BCx7 with Flamer and Power Weapon in a Rhino Elite: Dread with Assault Cannon and Heavy Flamer Elite: Dread with Assault Cannon and Heavy Flamer Elite: Wolf Scouts x5 with Meltagun, 2x Power Weapons, Melta-bombs Heavy Support: Long Fangs x6 with 5x HeavyBolters Heavy Support: Predator with Lascannons all around. With this second list I went for a well balanced army. Logan leads, and I have all of the other Infantry pack types well represented, and what would Logan's company be without some Terminators and Dreads. It packs 4 Assault Cannons, 6 LasCannons, 5 Heavy Bolters ect. ect. I am hoping the combination of the ranged fire power and the scouts will make up for the loss of speed.

the Fell Hand Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Hey maybe I'll see you there, I'm attending all three days though I'm only doing the kill team tournament. We are going to be recording from there so time is limited. I'll look for you, the guy drooling over your army wearing a Noobhammer t shirt lol. I'm bringing a SW kill team to represent! Also we plan to interview the winners of WH events so when your Wolves take the trophy maybe we can get a few words from you!
