Gentlemanloser Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I've just noticed (far behind all the dedicated Wolves!) that Wolf Guard Terminators, who can take from the Terminator Weapons list, can exchange thier Power Weapon for a Storm Shield. For free. ;) So, for the same price as out GKT, we can get WGT with a Storm Bolter and Storm Shield. And then attach Stern for a 2++ Save. In a Drop Pod.

Eisenhardt Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Uhhh...might be a solution for my Wraithguard problem! But do SW Terminators get a drop pod? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/296432-stern-wgt/#findComment-3803504 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quozzo Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 The SW DP is Fast Attack, so you can take one with an allied detachment, scouts for the beacon to use with the NSFD i think is going to be the staple of any all for us.

Captain Coolpants Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Although that sounds cool.. What would be the point? Hammernators with stern are cool because you get to run up completely unscathed almost, and then decimate anything in CC, vehicles and all... But WGT will just be shooting a handful of troops here an there.

Gentlemanloser Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 SW Scouts can't take beacons, can they? The Drop Pods can though! Although that sounds cool.. What would be the point? Hammernators with stern are cool because you get to run up completely unscathed almost, and then decimate anything in CC, vehicles and all... But WGT will just be shooting a handful of troops here an there. Who cares about CC really. These guys get an Assault Cannon/CML in a unit of 2++ saves. Much cheaper than Centurion. Or you use them as a Delivery method for your CC beatstick. Stick Draigo in there instead, drop them and charge into combat next turn. Edit: Legion of the Damned. Elite, Boltgun, 3+/3++ Save. 25 points. Or for 8 points more; WGT. Elite, Storm Bolter, 2+/3++ Save. 8 points for a 2+ Save and Storm Bolter upgrade. Steal!

Reclusiarch Darius Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 GL, melee still happens, I'd prefer some fists mixed into that WG unit so its not all on Stern when melee happens. Is it just me or is Stern really our default HQ at 2k or more? 'Sanctuary' is just so good with anything in TDA or packing a storm shield.

Reclusiarch Darius Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 His S10 hammer pistol is pretty cool, not gonna lie. Wish they'd share the secrets of how to make hammer pistols with us...

IK Viper Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Why do you need the Drop Pod? Proximity/ DS reliability is obviously better with a DP, but now the WGT come with DS, you don't have to take a Pod. WGT have access to 5 point Combi-Weapons still, so if your looking for shooting I think the Combi's are the way to go. I agree though that you are going to want some CC weapons in there too in order to get your points worth out of Terminators. If you want some stormbolter toting guys to DS in you can take GKPA and get that. Terminators in general are good because of the power of 2+ armor in combat now that Power Weapons are mostly AP3. In order to play to their strengths, they need to be a credible CC threat.

Valerian Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Yeah, I can see one or two of those free Storm Shields guys up front of the unit to take the incoming fire, but everybody behind them needs the Power Weapons or better. A small unit of Storm Bolters, even with one CML/AC isn't going to do much damage for the investment.

Reclusiarch Darius Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 A small unit of Storm Bolters, even with one CML/AC isn't going to do much damage for the investment. Otherwise known as Tactical Terminator Syndrome. I agree, super-durable storm bolter unit is hardly a problem. Mix in some fists and combi-weapons, and you'd be a lot scarier.
