EricBasser Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 So I started playing wolves again after a 2 year break. While I had a blast running Njal and 4 Rune Priests in a 1850 list, I was really missing a hard hitting unit. My list was those 4 HQs, focusing on Living Lightning, 4x 5 Grey Hunters with a melta in a rhino, 2x 5 Grey Hunters with a Plasmagun in Razoeback with TL-Lascannon, 2x Riflemen dreads, and 2x Speeders woth CML/MM. While it was very shooty, I didn't get into close combat. Since I last played, we got new models! Yay! So I was thinking of having Logan, Njal in RTDA, Arjac, and 2x Wolf Guard TDA with Frost Blade and SS in a drop pod. Usually people are against Njal drop podding, but with two eternal warrior models and all the invuln saves, Njal should last for his later powers. I was going to add some TWC for a followup assaulting unit. My question is actually about Logan and his High King rule Njal. Would it work with Lord of Tempest abilities? I know it would work with Arjac. That makes his hammer that much deadlier for hitting vehicles.

Toasterfree Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 So I started playing wolves again after a 2 year break. While I had a blast running Njal and 4 Rune Priests this you cannot do. thats 5 HQ choices, most you can get is 4. My question is actually about Logan and his High King rule Njal. Would it work with Lord of Tempest abilities? you dont need to worry about how high king interacts with the lord of tempest. LoT is not a heavy weapon, so relentless is no worries. TDA are relentless anyway. Fearless, sure self explanatory. and i dont remember the other two USR off the top of my head.

Blacksad Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 favoured E and tankhunter, the latter I suspect being the reason for his question Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/253227-deathstar-unit-and-questions/#findComment-3072595 Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricBasser Posted May 29, 2012 Author Share Posted May 29, 2012 Sorry, I meant Njal and 3 Rune Priests. So 4 total. Yeah. I was wondering about Tank Hunter and Lord of Tempest's 6 and 7 roll on the chart.

WG Vrox Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Yay! So I was thinking of having Logan, Njal in RTDA, Arjac, and 2x Wolf Guard TDA with Frost Blade and SS in a drop pod. Max load out for a DP now a days is 10, so you can only have a max of 5 models in TDA. Yeah I know bummer deal right. My question is actually about Logan and his High King rule Njal. Would it work with Lord of Tempest abilities? I know it would work with Arjac. That makes his hammer that much deadlier for hitting vehicles. Interesting question, his Psychic power goes off at the end of the shooting phase and tank hunter gives +1 to pen rolls for shooting and close combat. Is this another one of those pesky RAW vs. RAI issues? seems to me that he does benefit from Logan's tank hunters ability.

EricBasser Posted May 29, 2012 Author Share Posted May 29, 2012 I think I have 5 for the drop pod. 1. Logan. 2. Njal. 3. Arjac. 4. Wolf Guard w/ FB and SS. 5. Same. So I should be good there. I mainly wanted tank hunter for Arjac, but thought it would benefit Njal in later turns. I couldn't find anyrhing that was a definite yes or bo. So I thought I would ask here. It seems to be a grey area so far. I just thought it would be a fun unit tearing through units where it goes.

Not sure where I saw 6 in that. oh well, looks like a fun Deathstar unit regardless.

Toasterfree Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 TH off of living lighting, but i dont think the tempest counts as shooting attacks....dont use njal at all. you would get TH from the hammer thrown and SHOULD get it for the assault also. strangely you would get it for MH also.... if you could do anything with the s3 attacks...maybe in a doubles after some scarab loving maybe..... hmmmm................

Wolf Guard Dan Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 What's extra awesome is that this unit is scoring! (Or at least the 3 WG... and until whatever changes 6th edition brings).
