2500 point Luna wolves

[Geoffy]

Hey guys,

 

Here is my version of loken and the Luna wolves. I'm also looking for a decal sheet if anyone has one

Solid list man!

 

Can't say there is much wrong with it - I'd maybe considered bailing your rapiers for a Mortis Dread with 2 Las cannons. Rapiers are sweet but I've found the 36inch + artillery movement to be an issue unless they deploy close with something like infiltrate. A dread could fill the same role along with add some more Anti-air.

Why Storm Eagles instead of Fire Raptor Gunships? Edited June 19, 2017 by Gorgoff

My intent was use them as transports for the reavers and vets along with AA

I like this idea! Lemme take a look at that option.

Anyone else?

 

Thoughts on if armored ceramite isn't needed on the flyers?

Yea I reckon you wouldn't need the armoured cera on the flyers. If you're careful with your movement and always jink you should be ok. If you take the Mortis dread too you'll ended end up saving close to 55 points which could go into a 3rd apothecary

Quick rules question...

 

If I have 10 units in a POTL list is it legal to have 5 with LA and 5 without? I am counting vehicles as dedicated transports as units without the LA rule because the ROW does not explicitly exclude them.

 

I haven't ever been able to find a consensus statement on this

"The majority of the units in the detachment must have the Legiones Astartes special rule..."

 

So no, 5 and 5 isn't legal. You need 6 units with LA in order to take 5 without. But you're right about the Dedicated Transport bit. They count as a non-LA unit.

 

For the OP, Ultramarinebo's suggestion is a good one. You could also drop the HSS hardened armour - I would only take it in ZM.

Thank you. Kinda sucks because I just found a tasty list. I appreciate your guys help with my loken list. I'm getting ready to try it out this Thursday and am interested to see how the mortis does. I've always believed a dreadnought should have a gun and a claw but maybe shooting planes out of the sky with the greatest of ease is worth it? Edited June 27, 2017 by Geoffy

GLHF in the game! Never underestimate Mortis' BS 5 too, makes such a difference. Just be careful of outflank/deep striking melta

Ran my list last night against 2500 of raven guard. Did very well. The reavers and vets never had to get out of their storm eagles. Those birds are awesome! I ended up shooting corax off the table gangland style in one turn. Mortis was an awesome threat bubble when his fire raptor was trying to come on table and the 10 BS 5 missiles were great as well. Not too many things like taking 10 krak missiles to the face every turn.

 

Thanks again for your help! I think I will continue with this list for now guys. Now if I could just track down some Luna wolves decals...
