Long Fangs question


One Two Wolf

Recommended Posts

I'm building two squads atm and working through some options; suicide anti-armour, back field support or midgame pinpoint support via pod. My TDAWG haven't been armed yet and until I've sussed the fangs they are waiting impatiently for their complimentary loadouts.
They do, I will certainly use it sometimes with them. I'm in a spot because my puppy ate my index - I'm hesitating over the LF and TDAWG loadouts so any and all ideas are heartily welcomed. I know pretty much what they can take but there are grey areas, like combi + shield or CCW + shield, or are either possible? Battlescribe is not always 100% reliable on every point.

It will be better if you post your proposed squad combos and then we can verify instead of asking 1 at a time

First squad with 5xLC, PL with basics, WGPL with SS.

 

Second squad with 2xPC, 2xML 1xHB, same PL's.

 

I would like to mix them up but the inbuilt rerolls doesn't seem useful for a backfield squad that has mixed range models. If I go with these LF's then the termies can become the melta / assassination crew. I have plenty of cc models but I last built wolves more than 20 years ago and have a soft spot for these two units so I'm wanting them to form the spine of my new Blackmanes - super competitive or not.

 

TDAWG 2xcombi bolter + SS, 2xcombi melta + TH, 2xcombi melta + frost axe, 2x double frost claws. That's as far as I've got with my thinking on them anyway, certainly not committed yet.

If I may suggest, try not to put all your Lascannons in one squad. Unlike devastator squads, we do not have bolter mook meatshields to allocate wounds too, so every lost Long fang after the pack leader (who is useless except for special weapons which I don't use), will really hurt.

 

You seem to be playing Long Fangs very close to enemy lines in contrast to my backline Long Fangs. I admit i have outflanked Long Fangs before, but still with heavy weapons so that can come from another better position and annoy the enemy. 4+ to hit with reroll 1s isn't so bad on the move. I've heard the outflanking plasma/combi plasma Long Fang idea before, but for some reason it doesn't appeal to me fluffwise for them to operate like Grey Hunters. It is no doubt effective but I still prefer to outflank FAR AWAY from enemy lines, basically to prevent their vehicles from getting cover.

 

Hope I make sense.

First squad

WGPL with a SS is legal 

He has to replace his chainsword to get it

 

 

TDAWG options

combi bolter + SS is NOT legal

There is no combi-bolter option...we get an actual stormbolter instead

 

Everything else you listed looks legal

 

Yes combi/SS or weapon/SS are all legal

 

 

Your specific questions on loadouts are fully answered on the WH40k FAQ page (tell your puppy he isn't in trouble anymore)
