Don't forget folks, the Space Wolves will be battling the foul Xenos live on Warhammer TV today, at 17:00 BST (UK Time).

 

Simon Grant, Space Wolves rules writer at GW, taking on the foul Necrons of Robin Cruddance (8th Ed lead designer!).

Necrons 7-6. But I don't think they did the scoring correctly. I think it should have been a draw at 7-7. Close game and entertaining.

 

The commentary may have been confused on the rules. Granted they are probably familiar with game-testing rules that didn't make the cut. The guy was saying how TWC can reroll their charge but was like "Nope I may be remembering that from game-testing."

i think it was:

 

Harald deathwolf

Wolf Guard battle leader

Runepriest? (unsure on this one)

 

2x5 Grey hunters

1x5 Blood claws

 

2x5 Wulfen

 

1x3 Thunderwolves

 

Stormwolf

 

---------------------

 

His general tactic was the wulfen and bloodclaws in the stormwolf. i believe the WGBL was in there aswell. he flew over to one edge, very close to necron shooting, which meant the Stormwolf died as soon as it arrived there.

 

Next turn his wulfen charged the main necron battle line, and just ate it. The turn after they got shot to pieces by the whole necron army. The blood claws whittled down an Transcendant C'tan.

 

The grey hunters were used for objectives in the back zone. As 5 man squads without transports they just get eaten very fast by necron shooting. Altough they didn't really get targeted until later in the game, once the deathmarks and immortals went for them because of the objectives, they went down quite easily. I believe 1 squad survived, but wasnt in range of an objective, the other got wiped.

 

The thunderwolves were shot at quite early on, and i didn't get the impression that they mattered that much other than soaking fire. They didn't do bad mind, but they just lost a bit of punch early on as they lost models.

 

-----------------------

 

I wasn't paying much attention to the necron player but:

 

Annhilation barge

Necron lord

2x10 necron warriors??

1x5 necron immortals

3 destroyers (1 heavy destroyer)

some scarab swarms

tomb spyder

5 deathmarks

Transcendant C'tan

 

There was talk about some Lychguard there, but can't remember what they did in the end.

His general tactic was the wulfen and bloodclaws in the stormwolf. i believe the WGBL was in there aswell. he flew over to one edge, very close to necron shooting, which meant the Stormwolf died as soon as it arrived there.

 

Wait, you can put multiple units in the same transport now?

Yup. Transports are only limited by capacity, no longer stuck to just 1 unit.
