thor1234 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 So.....without us devolving into a pack of wild dogs (yes I know we're sons of Russ! but we can all have a good scarp after!!!) Yes I have two very similar lists that both seem to work quite well, now which list would you choose? LIST 1: HQ Wolf Lord Thor Thundermane: W/ (Frost Blade) Runic Armour, Storm Shield, Wolftooth Necklace, Thunder wolf, Saga of the Bear Wolf Priest Alaric: W/ Plasma Pistol ELITE Wolf Guard: Alfgeir: W/ Plasma Pistol, Power Weapon Hakkon: Plasma Pistol, Power Weapon Svyjor W/ Comb-Melta, Power Fist Sven W/Combi-Melta, Power Fist Valgoth W/Thunder hammer Troops Grey Hunters: (8) 1 W/ Plasma Gun, Mark of the Wulven, Plasma Pistol, Power Weapon, Rhino Grey Hunters: (8) 1 W/ Plasma Gun, Mark of the Wulven, Plasma Pistol, Power Weapon, Rhino Grey Hunters: (5) 1 W/Meltagun, Razorback W/Twin-Linked Lascannons Grey Hunters: (5) 1 W/Meltagun, Razorback W/Twin-Linked Lascannons Blood Claws: (8) 1 W/Flamer, 1 W/power Weapon, Rhino W/Dozer Blade HEAVY SUPPORT Long Fangs: (6) 5 W/Missile Launchers Vindicator Siege Tank W/Dozer Blade the list is simple Lord and Blod Claws form a simpe hammer to hurl at the enemy.... they have killed many a foe in a tag team duo :P LIST 2: HQ Wolf Lord Thor Thundermane: W/ (Frost Blade) Runic Armour, Storm Shield, Wolftooth Necklace, Thunder wolf, Saga of the Beastslayer Wolf Priest Alaric: W/ Plasma Pistol, Saga of the Hunter ELITE Wolf Guard: Alfgeir: W/ Plasma Pistol, Power Weapon Hakkon: Plasma Pistol, Power Weapon Svyjor W/ Comb-Melta, Power Fist Sven W/Combi-Melta, Power Fist Arjcac Rockfist Troops Grey Hunters: (8) 1 W/ Plasma Gun, Mark of the Wulven, Plasma Pistol, Power Weapon, Rhino, Dozer Blade Grey Hunters: (8) 1 W/ Plasma Gun, Mark of the Wulven, Plasma Pistol, Power Weapon, Rhino, Dozer Blade Grey Hunters: (5) 1 W/Meltagun, Razorback W/Twin-Linked Lascannons Grey Hunters: (5) 1 W/Meltagun, Razorback W/Twin-Linked Lascannons Blood Claws: (7) 1 W/Flamer, 1 W/power Weapon, Drop Pod HEAVY SUPPORT Long Fangs: (5) 4 W/Missile Launchers so this list works by dropping Arjac & Claws near some cover and holing up for a turn before charging out for a good fight, the lord will support the other elements or the claws......

eyeslikethunder Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I would take the first one. I like the variation the vindicator gives you and it can hide quite well in the mass of Rhinos you have and I think a wolf preist, thunderlord and arjac is one too many. What is the wolf priest role in the second list is he joining the BC's or using stealth to boost the LF's? If he is going with the BC+Arjac that is one bullet magnet. Potent and if you get them in cover tough to kill but a bad drop vould see you in trouble. Do you find the Thunderlord vunerable on his own? I dont see any squad he can join and seek safety a pack of wolves or thunderwolves could be useful. I would suggest more long fangs(they are great) lets not go down the netlister route. You seem to want a go foward more aggressive style list Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/243179-which-list-would-you-take/#findComment-2939764 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max_Dammit Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Is the lord on a thunder mount or does he have a wolf companion? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/243179-which-list-would-you-take/#findComment-2939765 Share on other sites More sharing options...
thor1234 Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 yeah the lord is on a thunderwolf, he spends most of his time following the blood claws about the only reason I have not included at least a unit of wolves with him is that I have found that they infact make him more vunerable to enemy fire, as for the big fire magnet in the second list, they do seem more resilient than they at first glance.... so.....thats 1 vote for list 1!

hendrik Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 i actually think the seond list might perform even better if you switched out the bloodclaws in the pods with one of the grey hunter packs in the rhinos. this way the pups would still get up to the front(using a rhino) while instead of just 6 bolt pistols shots+1flamer when you drop down the pod you'll have 12 blotershots +3 plasmashots?

Heimdall Skullcrusher Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Just a quick suggestion, take it how you like. I would almost suggest switching your plasmaguns & meltaguns on your grey hunter squads. The rhino squads are the up close and personal squads where the razorbacks might be more inclined to go capture an objective. It seems like melta might be more appropriate on the other squad and plasma might be better on a squad that is going to be a little farther from the action. Might be influenced by my play style though. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/243179-which-list-would-you-take/#findComment-2940159 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Lord Conan Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I'm not so sure about the second one. It could still probably beat most armies but with the smaller units I find it harder to keep them alive to do what they need to do. I prefer a bigger unit. I would go with the 1st list.
