Hellrender Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Hey, I have recently gotten several sprues of Wolf stuff and was thinking to build a small 1500 pts army for my wife. She likes to paint and game on occassion, but no list building, or assembling. Either way, i dont have the Space Wolf codex, never played wolves, and had no real intention to do so either. However, she likes the look of the army, so here i am. I need some help just making a list of what to build really. I will buy the codex at one point (once the army gets closer to finished) but have no resources to do so now. having read around a bit, and looked at what i really have (2 drop pods, 40-50 PA bodies, and about 8 TDA bodies), i was thinking to build the army around the Thunderstrike Formation (the one with 10 wolf guard in a drop pod and 5 terminators). But other then that i have no idea. My wife loves drop pods, so i think an army based around that would be nice. I think at one point i will build it out with a dread or 2 in pod, aswell as a lone wolf, and some heavy support. For now, all i need to know really, is how do you guys recommend loading out the following: 2 Drop pod grey Hunter squads 1 thunderstrike formation And do you think Bjorn is a good choice for such an army?

Frater Cornelius Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Well, if competitiveness is not an issue, go for it. The advantage of Björn is that you can run him solo and put him in a pod. In 7ed the 50% must deploy restriction is gone, you can go for a crazy alpha strike army. Björn, pod 2x GH, 2 melta, WGPL combi melta, pod Thunderstrike 5 TDA, 5 combi plasmas, 4 power weapons, 1 chain fist 10 PAWG, 1 power weapon, 6 combi weapons (probably plasmas, maybe flamers) That is 1180 points. Now, in inhance the alpha strike, get a 5th pod with 5 PAWG and Ulrik. Why Ulrik? Imagine 10-15 combi weapons + bolters going off turn 1 with preferred enemy everything? BOYAA! Add this: Ulrik 5 PAWG, 5 combi plasmas, pod 1500 points on the spot. All are in reserve, 3 pods + TDA arrive turn 1 and with preferred enemy you explode on the enemy This can actually be competitive and I am going to try a 1850 version of the above list. Plus, it's damn fun to play even if some games are fairly short because it is alpha strike.

Hellrender Posted September 7, 2014 Author Share Posted September 7, 2014 Sounds like a lot of fun actually XD Can expand with some dreads to 1850 aswell easily. Just one question, in case i want stormshields for modelling purposes, are they the same price as combi's?

Frater Cornelius Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 nope. on PAWG one combi weapon costs 2 melta bombs and on TDAWG combi costs 1 melta bomb. SS on either cost 3 melta bombs. However, TDAWG can take SS + combi weapon. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/296406-a-little-side-project/#findComment-3803047 Share on other sites More sharing options...
