YoungWolf Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Hi everyone, What do you think of a army runing one or two storm eagle gunships both with mulit-melta and lascanons so 300 points per ship. In the ships I will put 5 greyhunters with flamer for grabbing obejcitvs late in the game. The rest of the army will be 2 squads of longfangs with 2 las, 3 missilies, 2-3 squads of 10 grey hunters with 2 melta, powerfist and wolfstandard. My warlord will be a runepriest with diviniationspells. So my question is do you guys think this army will be fun to play and any good?

Astoran Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I'm just gonna say on foot as Russ intended =) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/264051-storm-eagle-gunship-army/#findComment-3216944 Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungWolf Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 That´s right but every Space wolves would change the tacits to win a battle aganist xenos and heretics. Then in "Battle of the fang" the maincharacter uses his flyer a lot. I don´t know if the list will work because it´s 600 points in flyers and that means that I only have 1400 points that have to stand up for a least one turn from the enemy before the flyers can help me. Do you think the list will be fun to play against?

Haranin Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Go for one, not two. To random to show up, and the AAA environment is changing. It can be handy to have air, but 300 points a flyer is expensive compared to IG, SM or necrons Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/264051-storm-eagle-gunship-army/#findComment-3217102 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rift Blade Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Having played against 2 armies with 2 flyers, take only one. It was turn 3 before any flyers showed up in 2 games & even the third he got them both on turn 2 & all 3 games I managed not only position myself to deal with( as well as anyone can at least) to deal with the flyers arrival, I managed to maul key units in the other guys army. One flyer is annoying to deal with but 2 seems to suck away to many pts. If you are really keen on this, my suggestion would be to put the rest of the army in drop pods & get stuck in fast. THe problem I've found with this is that even though the all drop pod army is viable, you have to pick your landing sites carefully & think about what targets you want to gang up on, but what are the units around it going to do back & hence what you do with your own next wave. A little hard at first(I lost my first several games playing this way) but once you get the hang of it, it usually works.

YoungWolf Posted October 24, 2012 Author Share Posted October 24, 2012 Thanks for the replys and I will try the list to day probalby against new CSM. So after today I will know if the list works or just is awesome in my mind. But the most important for me is fluff and modells.
