BlodVargarna Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Hail fellow Wolf-Brothers! I'm new to this board, and have not been playing 40k 7th ed for a very long time. (I played a lot back in 1998-2000 era) Recently I purchased the Dark Vengeance box set and started playing the game again with my son. From my old collection I have about 2000 points of BA and 1500 eldar and a platoon of the old rogue trader IG and a couple of LRMBT. But I've always loved the fluff of SW so I've taken the plunge and finally joined the Great Company. I've recently acquired the Storm Claw box set which has Krom Dragon Gaze, 10 GH/BC and 5 TDAWG. I also picked up another squad of GH/BC and just ordered 6 TWC and 10 fenrisian wolves. From my old BA collection I have a couple of tac. squads I can strip/repaint, a couple of rhinos, and an razor back I got a couple of years ago thinking I'd build it. I also have about 20 jump pack (mixed veterans, assault squad and DC) My plans with my available minis: 1 WGBL/WL on TW +2 fenrisians 5 TWC 10 GH in Rhino x2 6 LF in RB 5 TDAWG + RP in TDA 10 Skyclaws OR PAWGs w/jump packs W/ WP leading them. 8 fenrisians So help me guys! I want to make scalable force with 200 (kill team) / 500 / 1000 / 1500 lists. I also have a baal preditor and a furiouso dread that I'd rather not use (I'm trying to WSYWG and not proxy) but could convert eventually. What I can't do is spend any more $$ on this hobby for near future if I don't want my wife to get all fenrisian on my ass. (so no drop pods, or other stuff I don't have). I have about 20 BA tacticals I could strip/repaint but would not have a ride for them (see above about no more pods/buying rhinos etc.) Aspirational stuff for the future is a LR crusader and 1-2 dreads, another set of TDAWGs Thanks in advance for your help! -UtV Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/301685-greetings/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vykryl Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 You could make your own Murderfang out of that Furiouso Dread. All you need is a Dreadnought with twin Lightning Claws with some Space Wolves bits and paint scheme. I've only played a few games and don't know what works best. My army is based around characters in a favorite novel rather than what synergieses. My Kill Team list got wiped out with the new codex, no more Mark of the Wulfen. Have thought to try this out but haven't had time. Thunderwolf Cavalry (1 storm shield) x3 135 Bloodclaws x5 (flamer) 65 I've had good luck with a flamer toting Grey Hunter against my play group. Want to try Thunderwolves and use Bloodclaws to keep a flamer on field Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/301685-greetings/#findComment-3913548 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amarog Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Welcome mate :) I think we have mostly all had the experience of the icy glare and iron fist of the other half when we make purchases. The only thing I worry about is if she were to look on gw and find out exactly how much things are to buy haha.

Token Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Hi, are you Swedish? Your name means spacewolf, but you used the space Word that means.. kinda like space in a trunk, the space Word for space outside the Earth or such is rymd. Kinda funny. 8) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/301685-greetings/#findComment-3913617 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlodVargarna Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 Ha ha! I'm half-Swedish (another reason I love the space vikings!) but apparently min Svenska is quite rusty! I'll have to change my profile if I can, or just live with the joke. Space (in the trunk) Wolves I think will be my new sig line. But... Back OT. I need some help getting a list built around those figs. Thanks for the Kill Team suggestion V!

Vykryl Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 What do you have for special guns to put on your Grey Hunters? I have a pack with 2 melta and a pack with 2 plasma as my base troop options. Also have an extra two bodies with flamers to swap out if desired. Edit: Also, what kind of weapons on the Long Fangs? Knowing what you have for special, power, heavy weapons will help us help you Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/301685-greetings/#findComment-3914029 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Token Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Now your name means The BloodWolves, sounds better 8) . Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/301685-greetings/#findComment-3916819 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlodVargarna Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 Yeah, I think so too! The Blood Wolves will be the name of my battle group: part of one of the great companies maybe (Harald Deathwolf's?) The name is a bit to honor the blood angels models that I'll be cannibalizing and also blood + wolves = cool! The fluff I'm thinking about is that the Blood Wolves are mostly from a Fenrisian tribe called... The Blood Wolves! BTW, I just came up with 1000 point list: WGBL w TW, SS, FA RP (naked) 10 x GH w 2xPG, 10x ccw, Rhino 9 x GH w 1 PG, 8x ccw, PF, Wstd, Rhino 5x TWC (3 x SS, PF, 5x meltabombs) 6 x Fenrisian wolves 1 TDALW w MB Rhino GH run up and grab objectives, TWC, screened by fenrisians move behind cover of rhinos and charge anyone foolish enough to attack the GH. Hoping to get w/in 6" of the Wstd for extra attacks. The TDALW deep strikes in and goes to fight something. WGBL rgoes with TWC, RP with 9 man GH group The list seems very vulnerable to armor but I'm hoping 5x melta bombs and PF with the TWC can help there. I'll work on scaling this up to 1500 points next. (probably adding in 5 TDAWG unit, LF with RB, maybe upgrading gear for leaders...)

Ulrik_Ironfist Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I was also going to suggest using the furioso as murderfang. It'd be easier to imagine if you modelled it with the blood talons, as a simple paint job would make it look proper. As for the Baal predator, are the sponsons magnetized/removeable in any way? If so, pull them off, and put some rhino doors on the side and viola, you now have an assault cannon razorback. The chassis is the same, the turret is different than the usual asscan turret, but you can get around this by saying it's an older model manned turret. That's what I do when I run my predator annihilator as a razorback. It doesn't affect the rules any at all, and no one can be upset at it, first, it's GW product, second it has the armament you say it does, third it's a rhino chassis, if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and talks like a duck, chances are it's a duck. Now, I'm assuming you didn't want to use it because you want WYSIWYG on all your stuff. Well the way I just said lets you satisfy that criteria, and make use of a model you have already. Unless you plan on keeping your blood angels (which you said you were stripping your Tac squads so I don't imagine this is the case). I hope this helps. I am in the process of stripping my dark angels of stuff that I can use for my Space wolves, so I completely understand where you're coming from.

BlodVargarna Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 Thanks Ulric! Great ideas for Baal. The sponsons are in fact glued on :-( . I might try to find an auto cannon turret on eBay for a dakka pred. The dread has assault cannon on it, so I can model wolf claws on it and add wolf or bits. Could take as dread, ven dread, or Bjorn. Putting together the 1000 points was tough! I really wanted to get TWC in. A more competitive list would probably have some long fangs in a RB, which I can do, and will add for a 1500 point list.

Ulrik_Ironfist Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 See if you can find a simple pred (no sponsons and an autocannon or TLLC) or one that's magnetized. That way you get a two-fer.

BlodVargarna Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 1250 point list Same as above, add 5 TDAWGs w 1x AC/PF 1x TH/SS 1x combi melta / PW 1x CF 1 x PF Upgrade RP to TDA + Helm of Durfast Remove TDALW Add WGPL + PW to the 9x GH squad RP now rolls with the TDAWGs who will all Deep Strike in (no pods, no $ for pods- Would LOVE a crusader, but alas.) For the 1500 list (coming next) I want to work in the LF in a RB. Would also like to see some sky claws/ PAWGs w JPs lead by a WP. That might have to go in an 1850 pt list.
