TheCrazyCaptain Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Brothers of Fenris, I'm pondering an extravagance. A single, "cost isn't a consideration" unit to fit the "tooth of the Wolf Detachment" (Fast attacking, deployed generally in support of my harder hitting force) for when my full army deploys. I have space for an additional wolf lord, or a lone wolf. I am partial to the lone wolf in my main force - though the dog refuses to die! So my thoughts are; A wolf lord on a thunder wolf - runic armour, belt of russ, wolf necklace and talisman, saga of the beast slayer, plasma pistol and frost blade. I think thats 6 attacks, plus one for charging/counter attack, so possible 7 attacks, with a re-roll to hit anything toughness 5+, at wolf lord str plus 2 for the war gear options.) this all being after a plasma shot in the shooting phase. I could pair this lord up with my Thunderwolf cavalry to charge to combat. Or... A lone wolf on a thunder wolf mount, wolf necklace and talisman, frost blade and plasma pistol. He's already a beast slayer. That's 5 attacks, plus a possible one for charge/counter with the same option to reroll for toughness 5+, at lone wolf strength plus 2. I welcome your input to all aspects of this decision - weapons, armour, unit... The only thing truly important is the the unit rides to battle on a wolf. Note: Canis is in the army, leading 10 fenrisian wolves into the nearest infantry.

Kassill Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I'm like 99.9% sure you can't put a lone wolf on a thunderwolf mount. As far as the Wolf Lord goes it's a decent enough set up for monster hunting. I find everyone has their own setup for ThunderLords and they all seem to work fairly well, or at least they claim too.

TheCrazyCaptain Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share Posted May 6, 2013 Ill double check the lone wolf bit... I quite possibly misread the war gear options. Thanks for the reply.

TheCrazyCaptain Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share Posted May 6, 2013 You're quite right - lone wolf can't have thunder wolves, but can't take a pair of fenrisian wolves. Sorry. Wolf lord it is!

Jonny Wolf Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 A Lone wolf on a thunderwolf would be staggeringly awesome though! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275060-characters-on-a-thunder-wolf/#findComment-3365609 Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeletoro Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Yeah, toughness 5, feel no pain, eternal warrior baked in. It would be pretty sweet. Though I assume, hypothetically, that you couldn't take TDA with the thunder wolf ;) and Lone wolves can't get runic. Still, it would be scary.
