Haakon_Stormbrow Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 can you confirm as to wether the champions of fenris can be used in a standard force org chart for tournament purposes?

Wolfpriest Arik Bloodmaw Posted August 9, 2014 Author Share Posted August 9, 2014 I would assume so, can't see anything not saying so. Basically comes down to the Tournament organizes on use of Fortifications and Lord of War!

Urauloth Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 This sounds amazing. I was hoping there'd be a good excuse to model a full-size pack of WG in power armour at some point, tbh, and the thunderstrike formation seems ideal. Bjorn's formation is fantastic, but it does make me wonder - why would you do anything else with your dreads once you have this book? Like, nobody's going to run them out of the codex ever again once they get access to this formation, surely. (unless you only want one or two, of course) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/294849-champions-of-fenris-supplement-rumors/#findComment-3771152 Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeletoro Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 That's pretty much what I was thinking. A few of the formations are so good that even if they're not quite auto choices for fielding that type of unit, it's a close call. I have been thinking about it, and that storm shield ability actually seems like it would make many units hurt themselves with their own attacks about as much (potentially even more) than they hurt the wolf guard.

Haakon_Stormbrow Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 when something is in a formation does it only take up one force org spot? I'm a bit unclear on the ruling.

DanPesci Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Soooo...arjacs shieldbrothers - cool, but is it not slightly ripping off deathwing knights. and the thunderstrike formation - twin linked the turn they arrive...again is that not what deathwing get... depending on the points of fielding these things, can see some annoyed dress wearers (especially as we can take drop pods with locator beacons!)

Expo77 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 I don't understand how works the last formation, the Champions of Fenris: Is it the sum of of this formations??? - Kingsguard Stormforce - Brethen of the Fell-Handed - Wolfguard Void Claws - Grimnar's War Council - Arjac's Shieldbrothers - Wolfguard Thunderstrike I really hope you can choose some of this formations, and must not take them all...

skeletoro Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 That's the whole point of it. It is extremely powerful due to the nested, stacking formation perks, but it's really an apoc formation by another name because I am guessing it's going to set you back 4000 points or something crazy Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/294849-champions-of-fenris-supplement-rumors/#findComment-3771384 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squark Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 when something is in a formation does it only take up one force org spot? I'm a bit unclear on the ruling. Formations are like their own, highly specific force organization chart.

Urauloth Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Can you take more than one of a formation that doesn't include unique characters? Can you, for example, run a combined arms detatchment and then add two wolf guard thunderstrike formations? Not saying I want a mountain of twin-linked wolf guard, but if I did...

Heru Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 The Gatekeeper Warlord trait seems pretty terrible compared to Thread-Cutter. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/294849-champions-of-fenris-supplement-rumors/#findComment-3771437 Share on other sites More sharing options...
