Commander_Moustache Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Thought I would come up with a quick and easy name for the wolf claw/storm shield terminators and I want to know what people think of them? I mean for normal terminators (ie not those in units as leaders) they cost the same as 2 claws or thunderhammer storm shield and with the protection of the storm shield AND the powerful attacks at normal speed for the wolf claws they will make a suprising combanation.

Haakon_Stormbrow Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 they are one thing i have already had my eye on, i quite like the idea.

Inquisitor Kravin Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I like the name "Storm Claw" and I shall definitely be building some. Finally a use for all of my spare Wolf Claws.

Jaarl Stormfang Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 At first I thought the thread was about the terminators you get in the stormclaw box. Like AoBR dreadnought, etc. Perhaps a potential point of confusion for the term.

Nova_chron Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I like the idea behind this unit and will be possibly making a squad of them with the arms magnetized so I can swap load out as needed.

Perpetual Dawn Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I like the name and when toying with how to build my terminators up it was coming down to how many. In the end I think I am sold on 1x th/ss, 1x frost axe/sb, 1x 2 claws and 2x stormclaws. Seemed that it was nice a varied model wise and throw in a wolf priest with that relic giving furious charge and a flyer.. Rather hardy.. Maybe not even needing the flyer with that number of invulns..

Nova_chron Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 My biggest fear running the terminators like that is being kited you have exactly one ranged weapon in that unit... Personally I would drop the dual claw guy for a stormbolter and power/frost axe or a cyclone launcher.

Leif Bearclaw Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Or you could just add a cyclone to one of your Storm Shield equipped guys for some heavy fire-power.

Perpetual Dawn Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 The dual claw guy I can be happy do away with.. What about assault cannon/heavy flamer.. Sorry for hijacking the thread.. Stormclaw terminators are awesome :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/295097-people-views-on-stormclaw-terminators/#findComment-3775830 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I would drop the dual claw guy for a stormbolter and power/frost axe or a cyclone launcher. The trouble I have with that is that time spent shooting is time not spent getting close to the enemy. I'm inclined to give packs a more focussed build. Some get stormbolters and assualt cannon/CML to act as a mobile firebase and close combat counter assault unit, some all close combat to be line breakers. If they're not in close combat they should be running towards it.

Valor Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I really like the claw/ss build. I plan on running this unit: WC/SS x 2 TH/SS x 2 WC/WC x 1 I would love to put an AC in there, but as Kravin said, I want these guys to run, whether it be to spread out after DS or to push/block a unit for the TWC to hit them.

sunspear Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I am just now startign to build mine, that sounds like a great combo, I do have one question, excuse the noobness, I was thinking of building dedicated termie units (cc, or ranged). Why do people build them with different weapons in the same type of squad? ie a close combat squad has 2x ss/th, 2x wc/ss and 1x wc/wc? Why not just equip them all with wc/ss? Thanks for any help Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/295097-people-views-on-stormclaw-terminators/#findComment-3775963 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for any help you going to have to weather some overwatch fire on charge, which if you are up against tau, amounts to a mass fire, especially if they have supporting fire. 2x SS/WC are there to give some protection to ap2 fire with the SS sheld save Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/295097-people-views-on-stormclaw-terminators/#findComment-3775978 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for any help Not too noobish really. Mostly when I do it it is because I want some units hitting at initiative to cause alot of harm up front (wolf claw or sword) and then the thunder hammers (or power fist or ax) finish with a strong high ap beat down.

Valor Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 +1 to jbickb. I mix the squads weapons so you have attacks at different initiative levels, and also gives you AP 2 attacks. Going all WC's means no AP 2 attacks, going all hammers means everything is at I1.

Perpetual Dawn Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Its a shame you can have frost axe storm shield as I am trying to have as many axes and claws as possible because they look great.

Fair enough I tend to use my terminators in similar ways just tossing out the other side of the coin as my army lists tend to be more jack of all trades matter of none for the most part.
