zorakh Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Hey guys! I started collecting an SW army last fall and so far me and my friends have decided to start at 1000 points. I'm almost done building and basecoating, so painting will start soon. What I'm curious about is where to take my army from here. And what I should add to take it to 1500, 1750 or whatever the "standard" tournament point limit is. So far this is what my army looks like (Rune Priest powers might change): Rune Priest (Chooser, Meltabomb, Living Lightning, Tempest's Wrath) - 115 *Attached to 8 Grey Hunters* 3 Wolf Guard (3x Power Fist, 3x Combi-Melta) - 129 *Attached to Grey Hunter Packs* 8 Grey Hunters (Meltagun, Wolf Standard, Rhino) - 170 9 Grey Hunters (Meltagun, Wolf Standard, Rhino) - 185 9 Grey Hunters (Meltagun, Wolf Standard, Rhino) - 185 6 Long Fangs (5x Missile Launchers, Razorback w/ LasPlas) - 215 Total 999 Any tips are greatly appriciated :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245551-from-1000pts-to-1500pts-or-more/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

toonarmy Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I would agree on the second unit of long fangs. I run three squads at 1500 points in the format Jeske suggests. they always make their points back, last game taking out 2 rhinos and 4 vindicators. I have had mixed success with the razorback. I would be tempted to drop it in order to get the second squad of long fangs and you will also need to drop a couple of Grey hunters from the squads but considering you have standards in the unit it shouldn't alter the unit effectiveness Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245551-from-1000pts-to-1500pts-or-more/#findComment-2970354 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrikthegrim Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I concur with the second unit of long fangs. I usually use 2 packs. One with 3 lascannon 2 mls and one with 3 heavy bolters and 2 plasma cannons. its not optimized for tournaments but i find it more fun than spamming mls.
