Godhead Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 So this past weekend, my flgs held a 2k tourney. I had been playing my daemons since 6th ed came out, but with the new codex and the shift to horde style army, I just didn't feel like taking them. So I brought out my tried and true space wolves. I decided that since my great company had suffered some extensive losses in their previous outtings, that they would need some support. This support came in the form of a codex sm libby, some scouts providing recon, and air support (a storm raven and a storm talon). Through the course of the day, I fought Dark Angels twice, Necrons, and CSM. In the end the wolves placed 2nd. I went 3 and 1 through the day, with a hard fought loss to necrons, and a spectacular come from behind victory vs Abbadon's CSM. It was a super nice return to the fang, and I thought I would share. I'll provide game overviews later this week. For now though, here is the list I took. Rune Priest TDA cots LL/JOTWW-drops powers for div. Librarian TDA/SS Force axe Null Zone, gate of infinity 2x 8 GH mg/pwr axe/ws DP+ TDA WGPL combi melta/chainfist 1x 10 GH 2x PG, WS +TDA WGPL w/assault cannon/pwr axe DP 1x 10 GH 2x PG DP 1x 5 SM scouts w/sniper rifles 5x WG 2x TDA w/cmelta,cfist, 1x TDA ass can/pwr axe, 2x bp/ccw DP 2x 5 LF 4x rockets 1x Storm Raven tl ass cann, tl mm, locator beacon. 1x storm talon tl ass cann, tml ADL-no gun I was just under 2x, with 5 pods, 3 coming in 1st turn, and 2 flyers. I thought the shenanigans was going to be goi, with my death star (10 GH's, 2 x PG, Assault Cannon, Div RP) ds'ing off the locator on the raven, instead it was null zone and my plasma packs period. Wow, it was an amazing combo. The list played well, and I had a ton of fun with it. Time to get back to work...will follow up soon.

Forté Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I'm confused. The GH/WGPL/RP pack Deep striking? I'm lost as to how (humor me as I don't have the rule book to hand). Can they start embarked on an Allied transport? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/273370-the-wolves-return-to-war/#findComment-3337479 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderhawk3015 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 They use the locator beacon on the Storm Raven so their Drop pod does not scatter when it arrives. Only problem I see there is that wolf Drop Pods only fit 10 guys and if your in TDA that takes up two spots. plus an extra body puts you at 13 guys in a 10 man drop pod.

SamWasKing Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Also it seems you have 7 WG but two heavy weapons. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/273370-the-wolves-return-to-war/#findComment-3337513 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godhead Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 Actually, they never arrived via drop pod. They always started deployed on the board. Their pod always came down empty. The codex librarian has gate of infinity. He can use his power to DS within 24" of their current location, I just use the Raven to put a locator beacon where I would want them to prevent scatter. Sadly I never used it. Null Zone was just so good with two plasma packs and a rending assault cannon that I never got a chance to gate around. I already had enough targrts in range that I didn't need to go anywhere they couldn't walk to.

Godhead Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 The wg entry just shows all 5 wg. The wgpl listed come from the 5 man squad. All 5 wg were assigned out. The two naked wg went to the lf packs. Sorry if the post is confusing. Posted it from my tablet at work at 5 am.

Wulfebane Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 To take the Librarian, isn't it mandatory for allied FOC to take atleast 1 (2?) troops as well?

Jarl Kjaran Coldheart Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 To take the Librarian, isn't it mandatory for allied FOC to take atleast 1 (2?) troops as well? Yes it is, and the 5 SM Scouts with Sniper Rifles fulfill that requirement.

Rift Blade Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Well done. Toying with the idea of an Allied detachment. I have an upcoming tournament. Thanks for the food for thought. And welcome back.
