henrywalker Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Armies so on the GW website they have these three sample army lists, im wondering what any of you guys think of them for viability? i know ive often seen some white dwarf armies that were ridiculously bad. any thoughts?

Wulfebane Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Other than they're way outdated? The twin BC packs in the 2nd one are laughable. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/257533-gw-sample-armies/#findComment-3133486 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneSniperSG Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 The first one isn't too bad. It's fairly similar to my typical army, although smaller. The second one with twin BC packs is a leftover list from a previous generation when Blood Claws weren't... sucky. You really have to know what you are doing with them nowadays. Third one seems like it is just thrown together, although I have had a similar list before. If you're wanting to base an army off one of these, I'd reccomend the first one, but with another anti-tank unit of some type.

henrywalker Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 i wasn't planning to base an army on them, i was just curious to see what others thought, i think they are more about trying to showcase models to sell.

Yeah, at the time these were made, I believe Canis had released recently. If these lists were even remotely new, they'd have TWC and fen wolves out the wazoo as well as some fresh-looking WG.

Jonny Wolf Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I agree with brother Wulfebane, way outdated. And horrible. So many gaps/weaknesses to exploit. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/257533-gw-sample-armies/#findComment-3133698 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune_Priest_Rhapsody Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Like almost every list made by GW, these three are certainly for showcasing models for you to buy, not for battlefield prowess.
