wilkco Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 (edited) HI Guys any advise would be great Just getting back into 40k after a few years break and purchased my first thunder Wolf pack. With 8ed is there a preferred fitting for them do you only need to use 1 storm shield as you can select which model to take the wounds. Also do you magnetise your models so you can change them for each battle if fighting different army's The main Army I will be playing against is Blood angels and he likes he Sanguinary Guard and the Sanguinor if any one knows good counters to them.

DanPesci Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 (edited) all stormshields one thunderhammer on the leader best loadout i see 100% agree. Maybe throw in a wolf claw on a larger pack if you have the points Edited July 21, 2017 by DanPesci Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/336950-thunder-wolf-cav-fitting/#findComment-4827078 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarl Kjaran Coldheart Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I field 4 in the pack, all carrying thunder hammers and storm shields. That was in 7th edition though Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/336950-thunder-wolf-cav-fitting/#findComment-4827085 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteySödes Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 So far ive been running them with storm shields and frost swords to keep cost down. I've been happy with the performance thus far.

Rune Priest Jbickb Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Thunder hammer on the leader wolf claws or frost swords on the rest look good these days. Strength 5 is great and the thunderhammer helps with the bigger stuff.

Deadnaughty Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Note that, "you can select which model takes wounds" is limited. If you only bring 1-2 stormshields I will shoot bolters at you till you take a wound on a non-SS guy (because why save with the SS right?) and then hit you plasma where you have to take the wound on the already wounded model.

And this is why I think full stormshield are now mandatory where last edition it was less so.

Karhedron Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 How big a unit do you think? A wolf Priest seems a natural choice to accompany them. Rerolling attacks and patching up wounded models looks a good deal.

Rune Priest Jbickb Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Personally I have like 2 3 man squads force your opponent to split up attacks Personally I have liked 2 3 man squads force your opponent to split up attacks andcyou can cover more ground Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/336950-thunder-wolf-cav-fitting/#findComment-4827703 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well first use of the thunder wolves did not go to well as the guy fielded hot storm raven this game and alphaed them of the field like the idea of 2 packs as like you say splitting his fire would have been helped keep them alive. Canis wolfborne is a monster nearly took out a whole unit of sangauire guard Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/336950-thunder-wolf-cav-fitting/#findComment-4828858 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulwyf Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 If you can, play TWC with Wulfen. I put my Wulfen in a LRC and keep the TWC behind the LR until close enough to get within CC range. Even better is if you have Bjorn moving up with them as well.

Psilence Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Having played a few games with pretty heavy Tcav lists I'm toying with the idea of storm shield/plasma pistol for the basic riders, with a SS/hammer on the pack leader. In both games their resilience was stellar, while there damage output (because of number of attacks) was lacking on the riders. Most of their damage actually came from the str 5 mounts, even with a mix of wolf claws and fists in most units. I'm wondering if over the corse of longer combats the pistols (now fire-able within 1") will yield more consistent damage. With the option to overcharge when higher damage output is needed. It would also be cheaper points wise than my normal load outs (SS's for all with fist/claw/chainsword in 3 man units). Call them plas-cav :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/336950-thunder-wolf-cav-fitting/#findComment-4831485 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torin Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Hi Brother, I have played several games with my TWC... all i can say.. they are awesome. This is my core group. HQ 1- Harald Darthwolf nothing beats 2+ inv for shooting HQ 2- Wolf Priest on bike - heal harald and TWC HQ 3- Rune Priest on bike - storm caller - twc armor 2+ Fast - 6 TWC Sarge with TH/SS 1 TWC with TH/SS 4 TWC with Power Axe/SS For anti smite list bring 15 fenrisian wolves - create ring around the twc. I play by putting Harald right infront but know your enemy shooting capabilty. This list have prove succesful in 5 games i have played with them. But you will have to play with a group of wulfen. This is what makes your TWC into tanks. I have smash Infantry, tanks and monster with them. They have done justice so far. hope it helps. Cheer.

How do you play the wulfen, and how would you fill up the list to 2000 pts? Good day brother, well as i mention my 2k composition. I dont have the full list with me. But the break down are as follows. - Harald Darthwolf - Rune Priest Bike -wold priest bike - 5 wulfen ( 3axe 1TH/ss) 8 GH wt Rhino 8 GH wt Rhino 6 GH wt Razor 6 TWC as above 6 Long Fang wt 5 Las 6 Long Fang wt 5 HB i Think that about it. Can really recall at the moment. maybe you can match the point. The wolfen basically follow the TWC & HQ. It gives them the +1 attack The Wolf Priest give the reroll. Rune priest cast storm so you get +1 armor save. This list dont have the fenrisian wolves. If you playing with psyker opponent you need to scrap some points for some wolves as fodders for smite. hope it helps.
