thebymster Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 But sanctuary isn't even that good!? Considering what other powers you might get, how one trick the primaris is, and how close to perils you sail. I have run a wolf star with conclave on bikes twice and it's a tricky star to steer! Both were 1750, both against Raven Guard. Two v different armies, v different opponents. V different results. Conclave on bikes Wolf Lord, Kraken Bone, TW, 2 fen. Iron P TW, 4 cyber w. 5 TWC, 1 fist, 1 double Claw, couple of Shields. 5 WG, Combi weapons, double Claw, and rune priest in pod. 2 x dread in pod. (first game I knew opponent would have scouts so I took TL h flamer and flamer - got 1st blood) In both games the conclave went for Forewarning, and after 2 fails got iron arm! In the first game I was up against an infantry based list with couple of tanks and a storm raven and 2 tallon formation in support, a tough chapter master. I steadily took him apart,soaking up aerial support fire. He's an opponent I've played for years. I didn't just know what he was gonna do and how he was gonna react to me, I knew what he was going to try and persuade me to do! The second was against a newbie with plenty of toys. She had whole army in reserve (except infiltrating sniper scouts), 4 pods:1 contemptor - plenty Dakka, 2 x grav amp Centurions, and a storm tallon. Basically a steep learning curve. I nearly got tabled in T5, 75% of my army falling to grav cannons in T4. I'm learning who to peel away from the star, when. That seems to be the biggest skill to this type of list. Everything she did with her army I would never have done I could never guess what was gonna happen next! Then I forgot to send the conclave after the contemptor and failed the charge, no fleet, so sat in front if the 6 grav cannons with amps. Not good. I forgot to use junk, forgot Lord had Belt of Russ, collapsed in despair! Good fun though. Some tweets to make, I will run it again....

Sohail187 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Sanctuary is fairly beast mode if you can get it and forewarning. I run a Ultramarine conclave with my space wolves TWC mega blob. My conclave is Tigi + 2 lvl 2 on a bikes. Forewarning and sanctuary? yes please 28 models with a 3+ invul and 5+ feel no pain yes please .Worst case scenario the perils (if you perils you take a wound) which you can take a feel no pain against. Also if you don't get forewarning no problems your guys with stormshield have a 2+ invul so yes its pretty good.

Amarog Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 had success of late running 2 RP's mastery lvl 2 on bikes (Both rolling biomancy) with 2 squads of twc (1 IP with doggies, 3 twc, and a pack leader ..... one squad has the wolf lord on TWM also). Endurance all day long. 3++ anyway as i always run my twc with SS', 4+ FNP, eternal warrior (very handy as dear old wolf lord just dont get it standard). Mash smash bash! even throw in some iron arm / enfeeble for good measure if you can.

opheimvikes Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I recently made an Iron Priest on a Thunderwolf, he looks fantastic and he can keep up with your vehicles w/o being in one. I've yet to figure a way to get servitors in.

opheimvikes Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 If you are doing you should make an Iron Priest on a TW, I recently made one and he looks awesome. Now I just have to figure how to get servitors involved.

Gherrick Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Inspired by another post, I'm planning on placing my IP next to the mount. I picked up some 28mm=>32mm base conversion rings, and plan to add them to the TWM base and blend it into the rest of the terrain. This way I can swap it out for any PA model. The ultimate reuse scenario :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/309468-thunderwolf-cavalry-tactica-thread/page/5/#findComment-4130681 Share on other sites More sharing options...

"on bikes " Does Tigi get to re roll or even choose what powers he gets? Now I "get" the whole: Forewarning and Sanctuary gig! But is there any way to make getting those more certain? Is that what Tigi is for? I put conclave on bikes and gave them white scars chapter tactics, for difficult terrain. But still no Fleet for charging. I guess you could put some.Swift Claws around conclave for ablatives, to keep psykers in range. But they ARE gonna get picked off if they're a separate unit to wolf star! It must be said though: Fluff-wise, the Space Wolves, riding round with other chapter librarians. Not gonna happen, is it?!

Evilmerlin Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 He is using Tigirius though who isn't on a bike. So unless he is escorted around in Rhino? That makes him quite vulnerable and once they blow the Rhino, he isn't keeping up with the TWC blob.

The Rhino / Stormfang taxi idea also brings up a question for FAQ: if a conclave member is embarked can another member use empiric channelling for the powers of the embarked member? Yes, as written. Poss not as intended. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/309468-thunderwolf-cavalry-tactica-thread/page/5/#findComment-4131280 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've yet to figure a way to get servitors in. Would be cool to see pics if you could post them, looking for ideas for IP conversions as im generally runnning my TWC as all IP (and maybe one lord), as i dont have the models to run whole squads of them Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/309468-thunderwolf-cavalry-tactica-thread/page/5/#findComment-4131318 Share on other sites More sharing options...
