I think your eyesight is going in your age hendrik ;) :P i only have 2 packs; at 3 a charge thats 60 attacks,knowing my dice rolls i'll wound only about 15,but i could show him a horde attack if i make some BC's 75 attacks on the charge and since i'll likely foot slog them i could put a WG and an IC or 2 in the pack.If people are going "Why not just make more GH's" I dislike making hunters,the hand the holds the front of the bolter gives me trouble all the time :cuss anyone know a unit that someone will hate more than a RP?he always targets my RP with his killa khans Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/253282-aurea-lupi/page/2/#findComment-3082465 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arez Posted June 11, 2012 Author Share Posted June 11, 2012 Good lord trusting Tipsy to take on orks?im in trouble lol what does this mean? Tipsy is my pewter Assault cannon dread,he seems to only do well when going up against big creatures.I very rarely take him since he falls over all the time,its some times funny some times its annoying.Trusting him to take on a horde of orks is like trying to get forte and i to behave :lol: since i cant field 4 GH packs should a take a LRC?since it has assault cannons and hurricane bolters?

Toasterfree Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 LRC is more points than 2 grey hunter units. if you have it and there is nothing that he can take to break it, sure but thats kinda wrong. if you want to win then take it, if you dont want to be a tool box dont take it.

I think your eyesight is going in your age hendrik ;) didn't you said you have 32 PA legs you can use? :D that are 30 grey hunters, combined with your 2 other packs that's atleast 50 grey hunters that's 900 pts if you give each pack a PW, wolf standard and two meltaguns (meltagun/flamer) is an option aswell. add in a tooled HQ and you're looking at 1050 pts already spend. now you can choose how to spend those 450'is other points; dreads, longfangs,vindicators,whirlwinds or a mix of these. sure, your mob (50 grey hunters) is outnumbered by his ork mob (60), but our better WS, BS and armoursave should quickly take care of that. In fact, those missile launchers/vindicators/whirlwinds will eat huge chunks out of his army. his biggest thread seems to be ghrazkull and those mobs. as for modelling grey hunters: they come with bolt pistols and chainswords aswell, you can model them as such too, or cut of the pistols of the pistol arms and put bolters on those....

The pistol idea is a good one.....im almost out so alot of em are going to have to be either modified bolter arms or 2 CCW,do you wovles think i would get questions if i did model the bolter on the pistol and used them as BloodClaws if the whole GH mob doesnt work? Well he always goes after my RP since i use JAws and took ghaz out in single combat :P The special weapons are going to have to be plasma's since i only have 1 melta and flamer.has anyone tried to press mold them to get more?

Toasterfree Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 GH mob will work. the BC mob will get hit more often and have to take more saves, in this edition its not worth the trade off on the extra attack. under the old book the trade off was better IMHO since they were less in points. being both 15 points ALWAYS take GH over BC unless you are playing a fluff list.

Toasterfree Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Whats the little shields on Termies for? you are either referring to the storm sheild, or the hearldry. one gives you a 3++, the other one does nothing and looks cool when painted. one is in their hands (3++) the other is usually near the shoulder. which one are you talking about?

hendrik Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 if it's the one on the shoulder that's actually derived from the besagew, a small disk/plate of metal found on late medieval armours. it's function was to protect the otherwise exposed armpit(one of the few locations you could harm a fully armoured guy) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/253282-aurea-lupi/page/2/#findComment-3084219 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arez Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 Which would be better to lead a SwiftClaw pack;WGPL,WGBL,RP,WL or WP? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/253282-aurea-lupi/page/2/#findComment-3092393 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karack Blackstone Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 WGPL gets a relatively cheaper fist, sacrifices fewer attacks overall, and is not too bad on points spent. BC Pack that goes in a Crusader: WP WGPL - Fist 14 BC's, PW SwiftClaws: WP - Bike - would be my choice, rerolls to hit on assault is always nice, of course with the correct Preferred Enemy selected WGPL - Fist, Bike 8, 9, 10 Bikes - PW - I don't have that many SwiftClaws, so not familiar with their total pack size 1 Assault Bike - HB - Relentless on attack bikes (I think they have it) would make this a potential game changer, plus a huge target Given the options, per other people's replies as well, consider that if you're going to drop anything, I would consider between the WGPL or the attack bike. The rest of your force should have the LF's - HB's can do numbers on huge forces, since it's just raw dice with no templates to have to scatter. Cheap, gunline, great. Still, one should have some missiles and lascannons as well. Hope this helps.

Arez Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 I recently read a short story in Tales of Heresy about the wolves, it said that Bulveye's company was called the wolf brothers do you wolves think that Russ sent some of the Legion to reinforce the 13th and just called them a successor?

hendrik Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 it kind of depends what route you want to take, do you want her to be a female astartes? in some environments and fluffwise this is generally not done/some might even say impossible. do you want her to be a kaerl officer in the fang that displays latent psychic powers? If it's female astartes your after do a search for female marines here on the B&C, there have been quite a lot of them in time. if it's the other I can't really help, but skadi/mav made some female shieldmaidens, perhaps that's something to look into Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/253282-aurea-lupi/page/2/#findComment-3122797 Share on other sites More sharing options...
