2k army idea

[Rarurak]

n thinking about making a pod assault wolf guard army and I think I've found something I like what do you guys think?

 

Pod 1

Logan

4 Terms with storm bolters 1 assault canon with power swords

 

Pod 2

7 wolf guard in power armor with storm bolters

1 term with storm bolter and cyclone

1 Rune Priest wolftail

Pod 3

8 Grey hunters with flamer MOTW and Banner

1 WG with twin claws

1 Rune priest wolftail and wolftooth

 

Pod 4

10 grey hunters with Plasma MOTW banner

 

have a foot grey hunter unit or in rhino with melta MOTW banner

 

6 Long Fangs 5 ML

6 Long Fangs 3 ML 2 Las

and a Whirlwind

total 1991

 

Would it even be effective to take a long fang pack in a pod and drop them behind enemy lines?

drop podding long fangs is not a great idea IMO, you'll be snap shotting when they come down. but you can drop their pods empty and have the fangs set up in the backfeild ready to bring the hurt turn one.

 

i would try and find some points for combi weapons on the WG squads, makes for a much bigger punch in the face when the pods hit the dirt turn one. i like my boys, especially the ones with logun to have combi plasmas, his preferred enemy rule allows you to re-roll those pesky overheats.

 

i see you only have 4 pods so far so maybe find points to add a pod to that foot slogging unit of GH.

 

your runepreist doesn't need a wolf tail, his runic weapon does its job much better. maybe drop his tooth necklace to free up points. the assault cannon could be dropped for combi weapons. and i would drop the whirlwind, no good can come of dropping pie plates anywhere near your pod guys who are in the enemies back yard.

 

just my 2 cents

Agreed, if you are taking WG, combi's are the way to go even on all of them. With the new space marine release, there is a huge amount of cheap combi's to be found online. Combi plasma you can buy for like £1.25 and melta for £1.50 each.  You will have more of an impact if you drop with combi's as storm bolters.  imagine POD 2 with 9 WG and combi plasma + rune priest.  18 plasma shots with re-roll misses no matter what u shoot the entire unit should die even MC, or large specialist units.

If I have 5 pods 3 can get dropped turn 1 right? So what if i put logan in the pod with the fangs so they get rentless turn one and then just move him to the termie pack in turn 2? Seems like it would be kinda a waste but kinda fun too lol.

 

Tweeked the list with your suggestions

 

Pod 1

5 Terms with combis and power weapons

 

Pod 2

9 WG in power armor with combi's

yep have some fun.

LoganBomb (ie logan in a pod with long fangs) can be hilarious. If i run it, i tend to do logan, 6 long fangs, 5 Multimelta. Having 5 multimeltas that can split fire drop into your opponents deployment zone on the first turn can be hilarious. And they have to be pretty brave to then charge that squad with logan still in it (and shooting, he can soak up wounds/look out sir).

 

Ive used this 3 times, once it worked amazingly, once it went terrifyingly wrong with my pods scattering huge distances away from each other, and once it was kinda 'meh', due to the lack of armour for the multimeltas to wreck
