Question about the Luna Wolves.

Recommended Posts

Hey mates. While I still plan to finish my IG Army first, I am already brainstorming ideas for my 2nd army and I am leaning towards Space Marines. In that case, I plan to use the Betrayal at Calth/Forgeworld models so that I can double-dip in both 30k and 40k to make things easier. As for the Legion, current top options are the Imperial Fists and Luna Wolves.

With that being said, while I know what the Imperial Fists bring to the table, I am not really sure what the Luna Wolves (aka Sons of Horus) are all about except that they have a few Specialized Units in the Reaves and Terminators, and that they favor CC. Would appreciate it if anyone can give me some feedback on them and if any of their Specialized Units are worth it. For 30k, what is a great way to field them and for 40k, which Chapter Tactics/Army Special Rules would fit them best? Appreciate the help mates.

Luna Wolves like close range shooting and out numbering their prey in close combat. They have access to dreadclaw drop pods and do a drop pod heavy list well.

 

Reavers are like assualt/support squads that can be made troops with a ROW or special character.

 

The special terminator squad is a good choice now that they have had a points reduction. They come with two wounds, power axes, and score.

 

Are reavers pretty much chaos space marine TAC squads/grey hunters?

Much better. Access to jump packs, combi weapons, hidden power weapons and more!

Don't forget the Attacks. Ugh.

 

If all the pieces fall into place (RoW + charge a unit already in assault at start of phase) they can throw 5 attacks a piece in the first round, and another at I1 if they outnumber.

 

So. Many. Attacks.
