henrywalker Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 shield, shield, shield, shield, shield, shield, shield, shield, shield, shield, shield, shield, shield, shield, shield, shield, shield, shield, shield, shield, shield, shield, shield, shield, shield, shield, shield, shield, shield, shield, shield, shield, shield, shield. don't go without them, make sure you an allocate amongst the squad (giving melta bombs to one person works great for this) and don't be tempted to give them guns (i occasionally give my lord a plasma pistol to help knock a wound off something big) as then you have to give up fleet if you shoot. oh and don't bother with mark of the wulfen, do the math and you'll see why one dumb ass thing i did at first (mostly for modelling purposes but still dumb) is give my lord a thunder hammer and one of my TWC a frost axe. the other way round is the only way it makes sense, the lord is I5 and i was jut throwing that away for no particularly good reason. Hope that helps, awesome unit, great fun to play and interesting to build NB: PAY ATTENTION TO THE LETTERS ON THE SADDLES, ONE SADDLE FTS WITH ONE WOLF AND ONE SET OF LEGS, MAKE IT MUCH EASIER.

Spellscape Posted May 19, 2012 Author Share Posted May 19, 2012 Thanks - but how many shields? I've got my current wolves from Raging Heroes , not GW.(I just like them) I'll get GW ones later ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252620-weapons-on-twc/#findComment-3064902 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wulfebane Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 I disagree on shields being manditory. Yes, they're good and great to have, but I've found that more often than not the T5 and multiple wounds evenly allocated is more than enough to get them into melee... in which case, after that point, its pretty hard to stop them. On a TWL, however, I can see where it would be put to greater use, especially when paired with a frost weapon.

Kassill Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 My 5 man TWC load out is.... 1x Vanilla 1x Melta Bomb 1x Storm Shield 1x Storm Shield + Melta Bomb 1x Thunder Hammer + Storm Shield A little pricey, but the variety means they can deal with just about anything effectively.

euphemismo Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I load mine as follows: Thunderwolf Lord 240 Thunderwolf Mount Storm Shield Wolf Claw Beastslayer Runic Armor Wolf Tooth Necklace Wolf Tooth Talisman 3 TWC 240 1 Thunder Hammer, Shield 1 CC, Shield 1 CC, Bolt Pistol I played them for the first time today against Chaos Demons. The Lord got bogged down against an Unclean One, but eventually took him down after the TWC charged in to assist after wiping a different squad. 3+ against T5 plus rerolls to hit and wound (Beastlayer, Claw) was pretty fun. After the Unclean One, they wiped 10 Plaguebearers in one turn without taking a wound.

Durfast Spiritwolf Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Five strong pack with two SS. You can take three, but it chews up the points and I normally find that two are enough: TH & SH BP & CC CC & SH BP, CC & MB PP & CC Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252620-weapons-on-twc/#findComment-3065130 Share on other sites More sharing options...
