Castellan Blackmane Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Hello sons of Russ I'm doing a scenario with a mate of mine (A follow on from our last one) and it's going to be pretty wolf guard heavy. I'm going to have one of every denomination of wolf guard (eg. Jump packs, bikes, standard and termies) as well as a formation or two (Void claws and arjacs shield brothers) and I'm going to have a rune priest leading 4 of them (Jump priest, bike priest etc) and so on. So my question would be, how should one equip the... Jump wolf guards Bike wolf guards Standard wolf guards?(Probably with a drop pod) And in particular against necrons, but in general as well. All opinions welcome Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297785-wolf-guard-in-power-armour-just-for-fun/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coverfire Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I am interested in how you intend to arm standard Wolf Guard packs. I am looking at the feasibility of the Thunderstrike formation and was thinking of just putting in 10 Stormbolters.

Z00Z Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Why storm bolters? Sure more shots but you already twin-linked and ws5. A few more pts gets you combi-plasmas rerolling 1s and hitting on 2's. Id slap storm bolters and free ss on the termie unit as part of the formation allowing mix plasma storm bolter first round and shilding behing termie ss.

Coverfire Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Hitting on 2's? I do like the Combi-Plasma option though. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297785-wolf-guard-in-power-armour-just-for-fun/#findComment-3829687 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spazmonkey Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Dont forget PA WG in a Crusdaer.... PA WG with power weapons. 10 of them on the charge with 4 attacks. Ouch. sure its expensive but nothing will survive. Not to mention the options. power weapons and combi flamer / melta, with plasma pistols and a few storm shields in front.... Sure its expensive but you can make the unit to traget anything you want. One of the older chaps around here was a big fan of power weapon WG in a crusader. Jump pack thunder hammer storm shield Wolf Guard. Even a cheap 5 man unit with jump pack and combi melta. Deep strike and take out a tank or two. 5 jump packs are the same cost of a drop pod and give them extra movement options once they are down. Lots of options to try out.

Valerian Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Why storm bolters? Sure more shots but you already twin-linked and ws5.

Id slap storm bolters and free ss on the termie unit as part of the formation allowing mix plasma storm bolter first round and shilding behing termie ss. Weapon Skill 5 doesn't affect your shooting. They're still Ballistic Skill 4, so will be hitting on 3's. Note that they'd still be hitting will via the Twin-linking special rule benefit, so a few Combi-Weapons are certainly warranted.
