Blacksad Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Vanilla Marine sniperscouts as troops, stormchicken for airsupport, and a random cheap HQ looks like the way to go for me atm.

Darkseer Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 The thing with allies is that you need to get value out of every unit of them you buy. So if you buy a character and troops to get access to a cool heavy support choice, is the 200+ points you spent on the character and troops worth it? Probably not. This is what has me stumped right now, because it's about identifying units I actually NEED to make my army better. More Long Fangs/Devastators? That'd be nice. Cheap TH/SS Terminators? Definitely. Belial + Deathwing + Devastators = win! 120 + 250 + 180 = 550pts (lots of points) 120 + 250 = 370pts (not bad) Belial + TH/SS Deathwing (370pts) OR 5 Wolf Guard with TH/SS in Terminator armour (350pts) Hmmm...Deathwing + Belial Methinks.

Russ Brother 92 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Belial + TH/SS Deathwing (370pts) OR 5 Wolf Guard with TH/SS in Terminator armour (350pts) Hmmm...Deathwing + Belial Methinks. On that train of thought - one thing I would do is take full advantage of being able to have a nice 10 Man Deathwing unit w/ Belial AND an Apoth. just to make sure all those hammers get in close ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/255824-space-wolf-allies/page/4/#findComment-3134716 Share on other sites More sharing options...
7 Mile Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Have been thinking about IG myself since wolves have a guard auxilia force, the kaerls, with the huskaerls as their officers... So that fits, and would be an awesome way to get that exterminator leman russ back into a SW army, no bs4... unless of course you Pask it up. There has been rumors of IG vets coming out for a while, if so this becomes much more feasible to do and make them appear wolfish. In regards to what HQ to run in your allied force, first make sure they are battle brothers, then take a psycher with access to divination, then stick him in with your longfangs so that they get twin linked, or maybe even something cool like ignores cover, etc. Mitigates the large cost of some hq's as something like a LB is only 100 points and augments your forces.
