A few question

[Deathscream]

I have glouriously returned to the fang brothers!!

 

After a needed hiatus from the world of the future, I have returned to the warriors of Fenris. My Logan wing has been removed of dust and the Razorbacks placed back into storage for now. With two games of 6th edition under my belt (of russ) and a decent amount of reading here on B&C, I have a few questions I want all of you opinions about.

 

1. What is the popular load out for WG accompanying a pack of Grey Hunters now? Options for both footslogging AND Podding in.

 

2. Wolf Lord on TWM, whats he got on him? And his retinue as well?

 

3. Is RA important for a RP now, or is it only needed if the priest is your warlord?

 

I am currious about these things. I also want to start a bit of conversation.

Is it an all comers list or a fun build?

For WG accompaning GH, I usually give him a power sword to take those challenges & leave the Fist on the GH free to deal with whatever. If I'm feeling particularly fluffy or cheeky, I give him a WC. For Drop pod, I usually arm him with a combiplasma. For WL on THM, I usually run a WGBL w/THM, RA,ST.SH.,FB, 2 Fen Wolves & MB & run him with 3 ThunderWolf Cav with 2 ST.SH.'s & a Thunder Hammer. The last outing for these guys saw them receive a charge from a Death Co. squad with Lamartes & my WGBL & 1 Thunderwolf walked away at the end-no Death Co.. Alot of the guys here will suggest a WL with RA,BR,PF & WC on a Thunder Wolf, usually with 2 Fen Wolves. For an all comers list, I would say RA for your RP is a must. Hope this helps.

for a rune priest, if he's not going in a rhino, i usuallly put him in TDA instead of runic armour, simply because it means he now has a 2+ save, 4+ psychic save, and 5+ invunerable, whereas with runic armour, you arent getting the 5+ invunerable, it just gives you the 5+ psyhic save, which he already has better than.

 

Ive recently been running a drop pod heavy list, and i quite like putting wolf guard with TDA in with an 8 man squad. It also means that for 5 points more than a power weapon, you're getting a 2+ save, AND a power weapon.

It seems having WGPL in TDA is also popular for footslogging lists, as they can be stuck out the front of a pack and take saves.

 

With the wolf lord, i usually run him as a lord, or WGBL if im short on points: TWM, SS, TH, RA - thunder hammers arent actually very good these days, but its how i have him modelled and i think guys with power fists look odd riding cavarly due to the lack of reach on the weapon, but the power fist/w.claw combo is pretty good for all rounders.

I only run him in high points games though,

TWC, i have 1 4 man pack, and run them with 1 storm shield, 1 thunder hammer. I could really do with a second pack though, these guys seem to attract a huge amount of firepower - which is good for my grey hunters, but i rarely see a full pack charge these days.

 

A cheap retinue for the wolf lord would also be 15 fenrisian wolves. Give the lord saga of wulfkin, and that unit becomes horrible for a lot of things if its not dealt with.
