Upcoming game on monday...help please...

[truesonofruss]

Ok so At my local game store I ran into a bunch of guys wanting to run a 2v2 2k per army game. Now I am all about some massive destructive like that and 8K total point game seems massive to me. I will be facing BT and BA and will have a heavy mech Imp Guard army on my side. No clue what they will be fielding but last few games it was minimal TDA but loads of PA guys. This is my list what thinks the fang. Now mind you I have no more long fangs to add and I will be fixing that soon I hope but I am also in the process of kitting out a Logan wing so lord knows when.

 

HQ

1)Njal W/ his runic TDA

2) Wolf Priest, PA, PP,WTT, WTN

 

Troops

1)GHx10, x2Plasma guns,Wolf standard, foot slogging to Obj

2)GHx10, x2 Plasma Guns, Wolf Standard, also foot slogging to Obj

 

Elites

1)LW, TDA, CF, SS with melta bombs. Foot slogging into enemy mech if possible

2)LW, x2 WC, Melta bombs just in case, Character hunting

3)WG pack 1, 1 PA with x2 PP and Mark, 1PA with BP/CCW and mark, x1 TDA AC/PF, 1TDA TH/SS, 1 TDA FB/SB, Drop Pod

4)WG 1 TDA AC/PW, 1 TDA CF/SS, 1 TDAWC/SB, 1 TDA WCx2, 1 TDA PF/SB Drop Pod

 

Heavy Support

1) Land Raider crusader SB and MM

2) Long fangs squad leader BP and PF, x2 LC, x2 HB, x1 PC

 

This comes out to around 1995 pts wise. The plan was to attach the two PA WG to the GH packs and send them objective hunting. The two lone wolfs are distractors and character/Mech hunters. The two WG packs are going to Drop pod in into opposite sides of the board. Njal will attach to the 3 man team and do what he does best causeing mass panic and using his powers for the wolfy Goodness, the other will be to cause panic and mayhem in the enemy ranks long enough to get my GH groups to whatever their objectives are. Land raider may be used as a transport. Screening unit for one GH pack to an objective as well as obvious fire suppor. Long fangs will do their job appropriatly. Any pointers. Saddly this is about modeled out for me. The group I play with will allow Counts as concepts but I really don't have much. I have a group of Old resin scouts one with a shotgun and one with a sniper rifle, the rest are BP and CCW. I also have a dread with glued on CCW and AC. What says you members of the Fang is this a viable list or do I need to rethink my tactics all together.

Well, considering your lack of models, not much can be said.

 

With your IG ally bringing long range mech firepower, I would have suggested complimenting it with a more melee intensive list, via TWC and a SoH WP attached to a GH pack to help keep your opponents at range of your teammate's barrage.

 

I also think you're a bit light on GHs, with the standard being about double what you have at that points range. I also think you'd do more damage with 2+ more RPs than you would with that LRC.

 

Edit: Just noticed the pfist on your LF sergeant. HUGE waste of points. The sergeant should be the first to die and LFs should never see melee combat except rarely, and even then it won't be by anything requiring a fist.

 

If you're concerned about the BA using DoA, just keep Njal (or a 2nd RP) using Tempest Wrath until they've landed, then pick them off at range.

 

Your LWs - that first one doesn't need melta bombs if he has a chainfist. The second one, give him a t-hammer instead of the 2nd wc. Its still a special ccw, so you benefit from having two ccw (someone correct me if wrong). With the hammer, you can ditch the melta bombs.

 

Also, you can only have one MotW WG per pack of 10.

 

Your WP (and any other HQ you might get that will get close to the enemy) really should have runic armor.

Yeah the not having models thing really shorts me up on what I can accomplish as far as changing things around but I will be changing things around based on your advice will post new list once I have it done. Thanks for the pointers Wulfebane.
