WG Vrox Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Not counting Arjac though he is a personal favorite, who is your constant performer in a 5 TDA-WG unit used in a Drop Pod assault?

Coverfire Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 It seems like no one else wants to answer so I will. Wolf Guard Terminator with combi-plasma, power sword Wolf Guard Terminator with combi-melta, power sword Wolf Guard Terminator with combi-plasma, wolf claw Wolf Guard Terminator with combi-melta, chainfist Wolf Guard Terminator with storm bolter, power sword, cyclone missile launcher Drop Pod or Land Raider This setup was from an army I purchase and I used in a tournament not long after taking delivery. I had mixed results during the tournament but mostly it came down to the fact that I never see horde forces anymore (not even Orks, and our Nid players have gone to WarMachine) so C/plasma has not really done anything, but I woud like to take it again at some stage replacing the CML for an Assualt Cannon and seeing if that might help out as the 24" range may mean I don't have to so close to tear armour apart.

Vantius Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I haven't had a chance to run such a unit yet, but my goal will be to test the effectiveness of the following 5 TDA, -4 storm bolter, power weapon -1 assault cannon, powerfist -drop pod With the exception of adding a combi-melta or two, I'd like to keep this unit as lean as possible. It's hard for me not to want to test our terminators as the are, especially when they are only 33 points.

nurglez Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 The 3 terminator squads I drop in are like so. combi melta fist combi melta wolf claw basic storm shield Cyclone drop pod Arjac Combi melta wolf claw combi melta wolf claw wolf claw cyclone combi flamer storm shield drop pod Logan combi plasma combi plasma combi plasma wolf claw drop pod Of course, this is a renegade logan wing terminator drop pod force B) I only have 3 drop pods, usually dropping arjac and the squad in first, and using logan to provide +1 attack and str 8 anti tank shots when he decides to come in. I also have 2-3 foot slogging squads and sometimes attach a rune priest to logan's squad.

WG Vrox Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 I was not specific enough in my original post, sorry for the confusion. What I am asking for is who is your singled out best performer of a unit of 5. As an example: In one of my Drop Pod Logan list I have the following unit. Combi Melta-PW Combi Melta-WC SS/PW SB/WC Heavy Flame/Chain Fist. My best performer is my HF/CF he just seems to not die even though he takes his fair share of wound allocations, he seems to shake them off rolling 5s when needed and hardly ever a 1. Has held objectives singlehandedly a few times in games where it was vital for the win. What individual is worthy of hero status in your TDA DP assault?

Blacksad Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Storm Shield+Chain Fist+Cyclone Missile Launcher is the one that gets fielded most often if I field Terminators in Drop pods. Kills prettymuch everything, and stays alive to do it again, and again, and again, and some more, etc etc etc ;) hmm, I wonder, if you field a unit of 10 Wolf Guard, could you then have one of those in TDA bearing a chainfist, a cyclone missile launcher and an assaultcannon? :D (iow for the first 5 you choose one model and give him the assaultcannon, for the next 5 you choose the same one and give him the CML?)

Grey Mage Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Nope... one in five can choose A heavy weapon. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/242774-wg-your-best-performer-of-5-tda/#findComment-2937130 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeenos Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Ive wondered about a group of something like 3 TDA 4 PA in a DP give the TDA 2 storm shields and the 3rd gets the heavy, give the power armor some melee stuff, power swords or whatever.

Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Even if you could have an assault cannon and a cyclone, you couldn't fire both at the same time since the cyclone specifies the storm bolter and only the storm bolter. I think there was actually a thread on this at some point.

Jaarl Stormfang Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Does that mean you couldn't use a combi weapon on the same turn you fire your CML? If equipped with both.

Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Yes. Only the storm blotter may be fired with it. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/242774-wg-your-best-performer-of-5-tda/#findComment-2937609 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLastHuzzah Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I wouldn't say it is constant performance, but I had two WG terminators (1 LC/LC, 1 TH/SS) get charged by my opponent's Grimnar (we called it paint ball). The resulting combat ended with a dead Logan Grimnar. My LC terminator died, but the TH/SS weathered Grimnars remaining attacks Hit & wounded with all 3 hammer attacks and Grimnar failed all 3 saves. Said Wolf Guard now has the Axe of Morkai on his back.

skoll Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 5 with WC and storm bolter , with a priest for re rolls to hit have performed consistently well.....once with ragnar they helped me wipe 2 squads of grey hunters and then the opponents Thunder wolf cavalry deathstar Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/242774-wg-your-best-performer-of-5-tda/#findComment-2937619 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaarl Stormfang Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Yes. Only the storm blotter may be fired with it. That's a shame for WG terminator leaders of grey hunter packs. And just looked at replacing the storm bolter. You can get a power fist and power weapon (so you can choose initiative 4 or 1) for the same cost as storm bolter power fist.. Or even double power fist for only 10 more points. Something I'll think about.

Eirik_Xenobane Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Always make sure that each Wolfguard is armed differently so you can play wound allocation to your advantage (yes we where using this trick before the paladins came along).
