Wolf Lord Loki Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 As the title says, any merit to the idea? Power armour, 2 plasma pistols (possibly some wolves to up his close combat profile). He has a deathwish so getting hot wouldnt be a huge problem. Twin plasma would hurt most things. And he would look cool! It does lack someyhing of the axe wielding manic but would it work???

Anaraion Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I think a couple brothers have tried this with some plasma scouts. Would be interesting to hear some reports of how any use went.

dswanick Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I'm of the opinion that Plasma Pistols are about 50% overcosted for their capabilities, but in a non-competative list: PA Lone Wolf, 2X Plasma Pistols, Mark of the Wulfen, 2X Fen.Wolves, 85pts, hilarity ensues.

Reichfaust Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I've only taken a gunslinger lone wolf once, but when I did he shot a dreadnought in the face and killed it with a single hit--so they've got a pretty good track record in my book!

toonarmy Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 i think it sounds fun! not competitive mind but fun. its a pity he can't take saga of the hunter. Not for the outflank but for the stealth. I know he has to die but it would help him get into pistol and charge range.

montegue Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 This will happen with my spare bits from my recent Devestator Squad purchase. The idea of an Outlaw Josie Wales sort of guy is just too tempting.

Xenith Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 It's funny, because even if he kills himself, you win. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/271247-merits-of-gun-slinger-lone-wolves/#findComment-3304991 Share on other sites More sharing options...
muadib02 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I used to take one with 2 Plasma Pistols, Mark of the Wulfen, and 2 Wolves. Or Plasma Pistol, Storm Shield, MotW, and 2 Wolves. Both worked out quite well, and were just hillarious. Your opponents reaction to such a ridiculous unit is usually worth the effort.

Gman Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I highly approve of such a unit, and will be digging through my bits this weekend to make one. LOL I don't see how you can loose with the unit. As someone said, even if he kills himself with gets hot, you win. :) If he goes in guns blazing, claws nashing, mouth drooling, and kills some guys...your opponent will be like "golly gee" and you still win. LOL I mean if you have a better way to spend some points then fine, but a lone wolf is a nice way to get rid of those last few points you can use up on existing units.
