Marshal_Decius Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Hi everyone. Lately, my dog was playing on my desk, and as such, I decided to clean it. By doing so, I found my 5th ed codex of the Space Wolves, and told myself : man, these would make great allies for my Imperial Fists. Plus, I like dogs. So now I am considering an HQ for a small allied detachment. Here's what I have in mind : Grey Hunters x10 : Plasma Gun x2 Drop Pod Total: 195 Thunderwolf Cavalry x3 : SS x3, THTotal: 270 Damn simple right ? Now, for the HQ, my big question is, should I take Canis Wolfborn, a Battle leader or a Rune Priest ? Note that if I take a Rune Priest, I would use divinity or biomancy (cause the SW codex powers are kinda OP compared to the random ones). Here's what I thougt for the Battle Leader and Rune Priest : Battle Leader : Frost Axe, SS, Thunderwolf, Wolftooth necklace, Saga of the Beast SlayerTotal: 175Would goes with the TW Cavalry Rune Priest : Terminator, Wolftooth Necklace, Saga of the Warrior Born Total: 165Would goes with my Assault Termi squad with Lysander in a LRC So, what's your opinion ?

Nadir Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Battle leader would be better with fist rather than an axe. And much better than Canis. If you don't want to take SW powers, don't take a Rune Priest. You don't need it, when you have a tail talisman on the Big Boss.

mactire Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Anything bar Canis, that model is horrible. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/284340-canis-wolfborn-or-this-generic-hq/#findComment-3541840 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rift Blade Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I'm with Mactire. THe only reason I have the bloody thing is 'cause I'm kinda of set myself the goal of owning at least one model of each Space Wolf model out there. But if I had a preference, the WGBL. And yes, ditch the axe. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/284340-canis-wolfborn-or-this-generic-hq/#findComment-3541990 Share on other sites More sharing options...
logun Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Anything bar Canis, that model is horrible. yes the giant angry squirrel actually put me of thunder cav when i first saw it. if you can find an extra 20 points, runic armour might be a good option for the WGBL. and aggree with the FA/PF swap Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/284340-canis-wolfborn-or-this-generic-hq/#findComment-3542139 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif-thunderstand Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Runic armor and powerfist instead of that craply frostblade. Whats 1attack more if you could have doubled strengh? I mean ...you ll become last man striking in cc but that doesnt matter cause you would be even also the last with a frostblade. (our foes got some quick fellas) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/284340-canis-wolfborn-or-this-generic-hq/#findComment-3542367 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanPesci Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 As folk have mentioned above, change the frost axe for a powerfist. frost weapons took a hit in 6th and for the points, powerfist everytime (S10 attacks!). The rune priest isnt worth it for an assualt squad in a land raider, theyre not bad at CC, but they're much better suited to either shooting with wolf powers, or buffing stuff with divination etc. Id take the WGBL, SS, PF, and either sot.Beastslayer or sot.Bear depening what points you have left. I would say that 3 stormshields in your thunderwolf pack is too much points, i usually stick with 1-2 max (including the one on the battle leader).

Blacksad Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 true, and if you drop a shield on one of the TWC you net enough points to make the BL into a lord...
