Ghostwolfalpha Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 How is it that our great chapter has fallen to ridicule? What armies do you face regularly, as that will have a lot to do with unit selection and loadout? I find that SW really shine when they work as a pack. (Go figure) Nothing short of a deathstar unit should be off on it's own unsupported, and even then, you should have backup. I have never thought, "Oh, I took to many Grey Hunters." With the ratio of objective missions going from 2:3 to 5:6, scoring units are the best thing points can buy, and our troops are some of the best in the game. (Grey Hunters that is) They are lean and mean and I find that them not having a heavy weapon is a good thing, although not as much in 6th, I never have to wonder if I should move or shoot. As I am sure you have read, Rune Priests, Grey Hunters, and Long Fangs are the core of our codex and for good reason. They are cheap (for MEQ) , they have good loadout options, and they are really good at what they do. My standard 1500 point army (usually vs IG, Tau, CSM) consists of Rune Priest in TDA (w/LF) Rune Sword Chooser of the Slain Living Lightning, Storm Caller Rune Priest in TDA (w/GH) Rune Axe Meltabombs Jaws of the World Wolf, Murderous Hurricane (or divination) Grey Hunters x 10 Flamer and Meltagun Wolf Standard Mark of the Wulfen x2 Grey Hunters x 10 Meltagun x 2 Wolf Standard Power Fist Long Fangs x 6 Missile Launcher x 5 x2 Vindicator Siege Shield Wolf Guard x 5 Power sword (w/GH) Power Sword (w/GH) Combi-melta, Power Fist (w/GH) TDA (w/LF) TDA, Cyclone Missile Launcher (w/LF non RP) That gives you 250 points to flex with, which for me is usually TWC, more GH and a WG, landspeeders, or Wolf Scouts (snipers) Never really invest in transports as they get popped first turn, (Tau and IG) drop pods dont seem to work as well for SW as other SM codexes, but if you go all Drop Pods, it can be really fun and freeform. My group is ok with not having exact models, so it allows me more wiggle room for lists.

prfarb Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Do you feel that two squads of Gray Hunters are enough in 1500 points? I'm also new (started in April) and i find my biggest trouble when list building is how many troops to take.
