Clone Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I've one myself a cheap Drop Pod on ebay and am going to ally in a space marine squad so I can represent an elite Chaos squad podding in just like in the fluff. Which codex do you think I should use? I am leaning toward a Space Wolf Pod with Wolf Guard as they can be outfitted for any role (likely combi meltas) but I'm really sure about the benefits/disadvantages of other Marine dexes.

HJL Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 why not convert them into dreadclaws and stay within the chaos codex? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incinerator950 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Dreadclaws are overpriced and less useful. Using CtA allied pods is cheaper, more effective, and die just as well as our suicide units, but more efficiently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm going to pay the points for a suicide unit, I'll pay the least as possible. Squad of 10 Wolf Guard could work, 3 combi-meltas and 2 combi-flamers, possible a powerfist or meltabombs if the whole suad doesn't die and I get to charge something.

incinerator950 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 You can even make up a reason, like super dementia or play them as the Deathmongers. Quite honestly with the AC fluff, they should attack everyone in sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abadizzle Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Yeah... I find myself very much wanting to get 2 old dreadclaws and proxy them as loyalist droppods for chaos unbound lists. If we ever get the rumored chosen box they'd make perfect sternguard. I like to run 5 ultramarines sternguard w combi-plasma in pods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilofix Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 But unless you use Unbound, you'll still need 1 HQ and 1 Troop in addition to Wolf Guard. Unless you take whats his name HQ that makes Wolf Guard Troop. Will be more expensive than a Dreadclaw but you get the additional SW HQ. Not sure how effective a lone SW HQ will be though.
