WS - Snipers |i|

[Hear da Lamentation]

Those bloody little italic numbers !!!!! GRrrrr.

 

Definitely correct and well spotted !  No plasma cannon or LC for our scouts.

DAMN - that would have been nice !

Wolf Scout heavy options are heavy bolter and rocket launcher

We are Speaking of Space Wolves 7th edition. and there it says "1 Item from Heavy Weapon list". SO clearly it a PlasCan or even a Lascan

Read the heavy weapons list in the codex again, then read the notes at the end to find out what the 2 after three of the options means.

 

This new codex layout is screwed up and not conducive to finding rules while bouncing around on my tractor

[Hear da Lamentation]

LOL  what a great mental image.  Do you do your painting on the tractor too? :)

[Vykryl]

Just go over the codex and rule book while creeping in the fields. Use battle scribe to tinker with army lists. I was trying to get another tractor unstuck while finding the heavy weapon rules

[DanPesci]

Plasma cannon is out. If you look at the notes on the heavy weapon list plasma cannon, multi melta, and lascannon

all have a little 2 that when you read the note tells you that wolf scouts cannot take them.

 

 

AAAAHH, i knew there was something that stopped them taking one (as sure this question came up when the codex first dropped), but didnt have codex to hand. 

Cheers for clearing that one up mate.

 

Although got my hopes up for uber plasma death scouts for a couple hours haha. Fluff wise youd have thought they would trust an elite scout with those weapons though ey!

[Hear da Lamentation]

Exactly !  Why can they have a ML - but not a PC.  Would have been great.

 

Booo !  Booo I say

[Ullr Direfang]

Yea, I agree. I do not like this "dataslate" styled codex.

 

I would prefer my WS to have the MM is I had the option. But no Dice.

 

I always wanted scouts with snipers, now I will get them.

Sniper scouts with a wolf priests buffs might be interesting. More hits, more rends, more precision shots.

While it looks nice on paper, I think that this is way too many point spent on a gimmick.

If you are determined though, pick up Ulrik instead. He can buff other backfield units as well, Long Fangs for example.

That is exactly what I was thinking. If it makes sense I plan to infiltrate Ulrik with the scouts then support that area with the alpha strike portion of my list. 

 

Won't be till next week that I can get a game in but ill post up a battle report on how they did. Will be against Necrons.....

More points.

 

For that price, you could have a pack of Thunderwolves, almost two packs of Skyclaws (!), a kickass VenDread with a shield plus a Whirlwind... there are just SO MANY better options.

That is for sure, but this list is not about the better options. I want to run the best list I can that uses the strengths of WS snipers for the sole sake of learning what they can do and how they perform in 7th. 

[FenrisWolf]

Bravo, Vrox!  Let us know how it goes!

[MustangTC]

Consider giving them a bastion too for 2+ cover and a commanding field of view.
