Saphappysucker Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 So I am an experienced 40k Players I have a lot of experience with Some of the MEQ armies. I have 4k plus of templars. I had a lot of Store Credit so I started a Space wolves force. I currently have the Following. Logan Grimnar Njal Stormcaller Araj Rockfist 4 Wolf Guard Terminators with Storm Shield and Wolf Claw 1 Wolf Guard Terminator with Assault Cannon and Chain Fist 9 Wolf Guard in Power Armor with Various Special Weapons 10 Greyhunter with Various Special Weapons or options 5 Wolf Scouts with 1 Meltagun I am currently working on making 6 Long Fangs. Most likely with 5 Missile Launchers or I have some Lascannons and Plasma Cannons bits as well. I am also working on getting at least 5 more Greyhunters/Bloodclaws. I have Access to all of there Vehicles expect a Vindicator (hence 4k of other Power armor armies being helpful) What are some models I should plan on converting or purchasing to make a good well rounded and viable force in 6th Edition. Thanks in advance and I look forward to some good advice.

eyeslikethunder Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 a few squads of grey hunters never goes astray Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/256407-just-started-space-wolves-need-some-adice/#findComment-3120271 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dvorikr Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I agree wholeheartedly with eyeslikethunder. You can never go wrong with too many grey hunters. They are what holds our armies together and they can fill multiple roles well. As for your long fangs, 5x missile launcher is typically the preferred setup, and that is what I use, however one of the other common variants is 3x missiles and 2x lascannons for splitting fire. Wolf scouts were nerfed a bit with 6th, not being able to assault when arriving from reserve, however they just take on a different role. You could still come in and hunt tanks with a melta and 2x plasma pistols. A vanilla Rune priest is probably still one of our best HQs, especially for how cheap he is. Lone Wolves are also fun, and have become even more survivable with 6th.

Saphappysucker Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 The Problem is I want to model convert and paint everything in the damn army. The Book is Too Cool not to want to. Just making sure I have a decent core. Things like Rune priest are simple bits conversions or a small purchase and will most likely get my hands on some. I am working on getting A Vendred kit some Wolf guard/ Wolf pack bits together and a Furiouso Blood Claw to Convert up a Bjorn just for fun. I was thinking of Running something like this in a welcome to 6th Edition Tournament Logan Wolf Guard Terminators with Arjac with Drop Pod 3 special Weapon power Armor Wolf Guard 3 Units of 5 man Greyhunters with a Melta and a Las/Plas Razorback 1 Unit of Melta Scouts the 6 Long Fangs with Either 5xMissile or 3ML 2 Lascanon or Plasma or some combination with a Las/Plas Razorback the tournament is only 1500 I think the list is well rounded Flyers migh suck but with ability to Shot 2 Targets and move and Snap fire I think the Long Fangs are better this edition.

Dvorikr Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I understand that problem very well. Everything in my army is heavily converted and I'm just now getting to the point where I have most of it painted. That sounds like a solid core to start with though. I absolutely love Arjac; he is a beast in CC, especially with all the challenge rules in 6th.

Saphappysucker Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 Random Question does the Arjac Throws the hammer Wounds they still are hit with Concussive Right? Then would they be Leadership 1 for a Test for Jaws of the World Wolf? Cheesy I know but I am just pondering this. I want to Kill the girlfriend's Tyrants and Tervigons with more Style.

SgtTelion Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I have to agree with pretty much everyone here. I have 6 Grey Hunter squads (in various degrees of readyness) and i still want more. I cant wait for the day i field an army so troop heavy, nobody knows what to do with it. :rolleyes: I also want to make a list with JUST thinderwolves and Fenrisian Wolves, but thats another project on the sidelines ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/256407-just-started-space-wolves-need-some-adice/#findComment-3121172 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I checked the FAQ yes it would have to cause an unsaved wound. Jaws hit the unmodified I, so wont work, sorry actually no where does it say that jaws goes against the unmodified. A model that suffers one or more unsaved Wounds from a weapon with this special rule is reduced to Initiative 1 until the end of the following Assault phase Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/256407-just-started-space-wolves-need-some-adice/#findComment-3121323 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Brother 92 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 surely a roll of 1 would be an auto fail like with other things? - otherwise that's an epic way to mess up your own strategy.
