vigitant Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Given Midgard's former climate and current events, I'm thinking of doing an allied Midgardian IG detachment, and running them with Death Korps of Krieg rules. I think the rules and look match the fluff fairly well.Mechanics: They provide infantry screen that never breaks from shooting, with 40 point hq's that can countercharge fairly well while still giving orders. Another battalion can put grenadiers in light asault vehicles that can then scout move up, provinding a forward layer of screen.Frees up the space wolves from backline duties, allowing them to focus on taking the enemy's position.

vigitant Posted June 7, 2018 Author Share Posted June 7, 2018 Love it, do and post pics! Like now. Probably gonna get 3rd party plastic(i like the models better for IG, and the $$). Kitbashing the Death Riders will be a challenge, as I'm planning on doing something akin to mechanical Wolves and Norse Longspears for the riders. Do belt Axes for guardsmen(they have a better WS). I want the commander to have the relic PS, probably do something special for his mount and weapons. I love the modeling potential of the double bolt pistol option, as well. I think theyll look stunning with a SW army. We'll see if my meager hobby skills will do it justice.

vigitant Posted June 8, 2018 Author Share Posted June 8, 2018 I expect the similar quality of story telling you provided in your army list report haha I'll do my damndest. Also, these Death Rider commanders are like mini-me Thunderwolf Lords. 10" move. T4. 4+/5++. 5+ FNP vs S4 or less. one use demo charge for d6 shots of AT. Shoots 2 bolt pistols at a 3+. Charges for 3 S5 -2 2d attacks, then the mount does 2 melee bolter shots. For 47 points. Total bad***es. and the list has 4 of them. Edit: and they can give themselves orders to become mini-wulfen for a turn! Oops, you killed one, now he gets to attack with one attack again. LOL They're perfect for SW-led guard! I can just imagine the Vlka Fenryka watching them, "Look at them go! HA! That one just threw a bomb in the warboss' face! Crazy bastard! He's even still fighting as they kill him!" (For some reason that all comes out in my head in Drax the Destroyer's voice.) "S***, we should probably help out." Might throw in a 2+ invul ogryn bodyguard while im at it, for ****s and giggles. Mostly my giggles. If my opponent starts giggling, I'll assume rage has made him snap, and he's about to try to kill me.
