LPetersson Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 So, I have a bunch of the old Wulfen models and would really like to use them, so as the title says, which allies do you think will best represent the Wulfen character? Currently I'm drawn to the Blood Angels death company. I can't remember, but aren't we Brothers in Arms so I could give them a Wolf Priest as well? Does anyone have better suggestions for representing the Wulfen? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/255407-allies-to-represent-wulfen/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfsbane Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Death Company, although Ogryns would be an interesting twist as well. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/255407-allies-to-represent-wulfen/#findComment-3107326 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPetersson Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 Ogryns would be a very interesting twist. Eldar Banshees or Harlequins might not be bad either...

jmurph Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Banshees or harlies are waaay too fragile to reflect wulfen. Death company would be suitable and Ogryns could reflect massively wolfed out beasts. Remember though that the Wolf Priest now only affects Codex:SW units.

Vash113 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 An ally has compulsory 1 HQ and 1 Troop. Since Death Company are Troops I am running my old Wulfen models as a 10 man squad of Death Company with no special weapons or jump packs led by a Blood Angels Chaplain loaded into a Stormraven Gunship. I get to use my Wulfen, a cool Wolf Priest I've converted to use as the BA Chaplain and I can use a Stormraven Gunship.

Vash113 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Why not use jump packs for the 2d6 assault range? Well they wouldn't fit in the Stormraven then, it's pricey and isn't modeled on the unit. I prefer to stick to WYSIWYG as much as possible.

You still get a 2d6 charge range you just get to reroll it if you have Jump Packs.

wiplash Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Death Company with Lemartes = Stern with Wulfen This. although awesome, lemartes comes with a jump pack meaning you are pretty much doubling the cost of the squad - unless you just have him with a jump pack and everyone else foot slogging having said this they are a pretty perfect stand-in for Wulfen, shame furious charge got nerfed :/ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/255407-allies-to-represent-wulfen/#findComment-3109579 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally I think it would be great to have a DC Squad led by a Chaplain in a Stormraven with a Death Company Dreadnought loaded aboard as well. A great, hard hitting ally that can be deployed in support of your Great Company's forces.

Vash113 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I just use Wulfen models, but then again I was fortunate enough to get my hands on 10 of them before they went out of production. You can still find them on ebay sometimes. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/255407-allies-to-represent-wulfen/#findComment-3111091 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLACK BLΠFLY Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Death Company lead by a Chaplain would make a suitable stand in I think. G ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/255407-allies-to-represent-wulfen/#findComment-3111095 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vash113 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Frankly a good kitbash is combining marauder or zealot parts from Warhammer Fantasy with assault marine components. Take a knife to the power armor to savage it up a little, give the guys bare arms and heads and greenstuff some shaggy hair and the result is more than passable.

Rik84 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 i played at my club last night and i useed this BA chaplin the HQ one 10 deathcompany stormraven. it was pure win, the stromraven came on at the start of turn three, fired its 4 weapons and stripped a grey knight razorback down to 1 hull point, the other 2 weapons hit a chimera full of stormtroopers and wrecked it killing 4 in side, which let my rune priest and grey hunter squad charge them and wipe them out. Turn four, the stormraven swtiched to hover mode and stoped 9" away from the tau players HQ and body guard, who at the time had been chasing the Grey knight inquistor, the death comapny aka Wulfen got out, moved 6 inches and the roled 9" on there assault, the Tau overwatch killed one wulfen, but the combat which followed was a bloodbath with all tau dieing. im now going to pick up a stormtalon to act as a supporting gunship to my drop poding grey hunters and there wulfen mates Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/255407-allies-to-represent-wulfen/#findComment-3111457 Share on other sites More sharing options...
