LOTD as allies?


Night Runner

Recommended Posts

I have just gone through the new Legion of the Damned codex and now it is possible to take these mysterious Space Marines as allies  with our SW forces.  I have a small force of the LOTD and I have never used them with the SW before - in fact I have never used allies before!

 

I was wondering if there is anyone else interested in using them.  I don't think they are the most strategic choice, but they are certainly fun.  I think they would be good for a deep srtike option.

 

Unfortunately the codex has no new units, it just presents new ways of using the existing LOTD unit in C:SM.  I was hoping to get a LOTD dreadnought or biker unit (think of a unit of Ghostriders!).  Alas it is not meant to be.

Honestly, I think the LotD are an incredibly interesting group of Space Marines. I've already got the codex and have been planning lists to try and incorporate them into some fun fluff battles. 

 

My current idea revolves around a Wolf Lord and his squad being ambushed while on patrol. 

Wolf Lord

Full Blood Claws

Full Grey Hunters

x2 Long Fang squads

 

x2 Legion, 1 Sergeant with the animus.

 

I figure try and keep the blood claws out of sight and let your grey hunters + long fangs lay down some strong fire and when the Legion show up, go risky and deep strike them close to the enemy so that they're either forced to charge them or get charged next turn. If you can do it to their more shootier things the better as now you've got a Wolf Lord with 15 Blood claws and grey hunters moving up without getting shot pieces. 

 

Considering the LotD (especially with the animus), I think they'd be able to tar pit just about anything long enough for the Space Wolves combat stuff to make it's way into the fray from behind.
