Deathscream Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 With 6th edition making termis slightly better, what is the load out that you are running for your TDAWG packs? I'm not talking about WG to be split into pack leaders. I am an avid LoganWing player (still) and I want to know others ideal load outs. I usually run this: 5x TDAWG Power Sword/Storm Bolter/Cyclone Missile Launcer OR Assault Cannon (Pack role depending) Wolf Claw/Combi-Plas Wolf Claw/Combi-Plas Wolf Claw/Combi-melta Wolf Claw/Combi-melta All wrapped up in a Drop Pod Keep in mind this is my all comers load out. I would be interested to hear what others run for certain roles as well.

dragonknight4275 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Kind of a SW noob but seems like there's a lack of AP2 in melee. Though I'm sure you'll shoot up any terminator squads with those combi-plasmas before you get into CC. Overall its a great all-comer unit. Even though they're AP3 wolf claws are still pretty nasty.

Astoran Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I was thinking along the lines of: Wolf Guard TDA x5 Combi-Plasma x2 Combi-Melta x2 Power Weapon (axe or sword not sure) Chainfist Powerfist Lightning Claw x2 Assault Cannon or CML and also add another Combi Weapon Joins the battle either in a DP or LR Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275829-tdawg-load-outs/#findComment-3377006 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostwolfalpha Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Depends on the role, but I usually go: 5 TDAWG in drop pod Cyclone missile, Power Axe, SB (he will be hiding in back, so the I1 is less detrimental) 4 x Combi plasma (the dp should help you avoid av14) With 2 krak missiles and 8 plasma shots at 12", something is going to die. They have never fail to destroy or maim their primary target and after they unload, they will become huge bullet magnets. In a Loganwing list, they can score as well (if they live) Combiweapons are gold as TDA can't get the bonus attack from anything but two specialist weapons.

Sturm Moonwolf Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I have lots of Wolf Guard TDA so can use just about any combination for tailoring. I'm not a huge fan of putting CML's in packs that are going to drop pod, but rather the meager Heavy Flamer is my personal favorite. CML's always get regulated to Long Fang duty in my style of play. My typical drop pod all comers group is usually something like this: 5x WGTDA 4x Combi Plas 1x Heavy Flamer 2x Wolf Claws 2x Chainfists 1x Power Axe Drop Pod Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275829-tdawg-load-outs/#findComment-3377120 Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeletoro Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 For me, combi-plas + axe and wolf claw + chainfist are my favourites.probably about 3 or 4 :1 ratio. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275829-tdawg-load-outs/#findComment-3377163 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Priest Jbickb Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 The few times I have run em I went with 4 combi 1 chainfist 1 heavy flamer and a drop pod. They've done me quite well.

Deathscream Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 I definitely see that I have missed a heavy hitter for the pack. And as I think the TDA axe from the termi kit is great to look at, I will add a power axe to the mix and see how that does. I have a pack that I have been running with a power armored Wolf Priest with Saga of the Hunter that consists of a similar build as yours jbickd. 4 combi-plas, a heavy flamer (sometimes an asBault cannon) and wolf claws on all. I use it for killing elites mostly. I took out 3 broadsides with them the other day. That felt really good, let me tell you!! Of course I went on to lose the match due to support fire... Drop pods are key these days against most armies. And to be honest, I didn't saturate my target priorities either. but this is neither the time or place for that discussion!!

Jarl Deathwolf Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 TDAWG. T DAWG, hehehee sup yo? I've been giggling quietly about this for months, myself. I'm dreading the day when I tell my opponent "... and my T-Dawgs will be deploying via Drop Pod..." So glad I'm the only one who laughs at that :) . But anyway... My T-DAWGs, which I've had some success with against Tau, Eldar and Marines runs like this: 1: Frost Sword, Assault Cannon 2: Power Axe, Combi-Plasma 3: Power-Axe, Combi-Melta 4: Wolf Claw, Combi-Plasma 5: Frost Sword, Combi-Melta Basically, I drop pod in, blow up a vehicle or strafe a squad, endure some fire and charge. 4 Plasma shots, 2 Melta shots and 4 Assault Cannon. It is a glorious thing and eats stuff apart like no other. Sometimes, when I have the points, I exchange the Power Axe for a Power Fist, or exchane the Assault Cannon for a Cyclone Missile Launcher, but I prefer the 1) Awesome look of the Assault Cannon and 2) the volume of fire power. It doesn't matter its shorter range since it should always be close up anyway.

skeletoro Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 There isn't much that a frost sword can do that a wolf claw won't do better for fewer points. Especially on terminators. Though frost swords are cool. Now if you could pay 5 points to replace your storm bolter with a frost weapon, I'd be all over them :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275829-tdawg-load-outs/#findComment-3378885 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSniperMonkey Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I've been thinking of using 5 TDA WG with storm bolters, a heavy flamer and all power or chain fists or with Arjac if I have the points. Has anyone tried something like this? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275829-tdawg-load-outs/#findComment-3405460 Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeletoro Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 All those power fists add up to very expensive. And an equivalent number of points of power axes actually outperform power fists against pretty much any infantry. The role of the fist is as an accompaniment to a wolf claw, or as an anti-tank/dread/MC option (but you may not want to give EVERY model one of these - overkill!) Personally, I think it's better to save the points on the fist and keep most of the models with axes. But combi-weapons are definitely worth considering.

Ravenfeld Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 I have a dilemma. My "TDAWGS" represent my Iron hands Clan's top tier veterans and their "honor guard" of sorts, with Arjac being my Clan's champion. That being said I have ten to make and I want them to be dangerous and uniform. I was going to make Flails as counts as Thammers & have a mix of storm shields and combi-weapons throughout. Two will have heavy weapons, one with a Cyclone to go with my Long Fangs and one with an AC to drop with either a grey hunter pack or to go with the other TDAWGS. The issue I am facing is that my guys are getting expensive fast. A SS/TH TDAWG is 50% more expensive than a loyalist equivalent (unless my math is off, which is possible) High Champion Gorant, Grand Champion of Bracchus, Bane of Weakness - (Arjac Rockfist) Veteran - (Wolf Guard) - TDA / Combi-Plasma & Thunder Hammer (Flail) Veteran - (Wolf Guard) - TDA / Combi-Melta & Thunder Hammer (Flail) Veteran - (Wolf Guard) - TDA / Combi-Plasma & Thunder Hammer (Flail) Veteran - (Wolf Guard) - TDA / Combi-Plasma & Power Axe (Halberd) Veteran - (Wolf Guard) - TDA / Combi-Melta & Power Axe (Halberd) Veteran - (Wolf Guard) - TDA / Storm Shield & Thunder Hammer (Flail) Veteran - (Wolf Guard) - TDA / Storm Shield & Power Axe (Halberd) Clave Primus - (Wolf Guard Pack Leader) - TDA / Combi-Plasma / Cyclone Missile Launcher / Power Axe (Halberd) Clave Primus - (Wolf Guard Pack Leader) - TDA / Assault Cannon / Chain Fist I can mix and match as needed, generally both "Clave Primus'" would be with other units, leaving one squad to drop with Arjac and another to drop with a HQ. In Total, without Pods, it'll run me 662 points. What do you guys think?
