TiguriusX Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 why grenade launchers? looks like they replace the twin bolters seems worse for chaff hunting (d6 and S3 instead of rapid fire 2 S4) and not worth cost for krak what am i missing?

Maybe the Assault pat? Combined with the Shotguns means he can always move at max speed? Still a bit too expensive I think but that might be the plan.

Krak also provides a bit of versatility if I need to remove a high T baddie. Their main purpose will be to grab uncontested objs, with secondary trying to remove weakened targets of opportunity from other objectives or get to exposed enemy chars with 1-2 wounds left towards endgame. 124 points may be a little high, but their potential to score game winning objectives seems worth it.

Kasper_Hawser Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 The 5 scouts with shotguns in a storm is pretty nice against people who are using troop in min squads for tax and obj camping. The storm was a tad more durable than I expected, standing up against a lot of shuriken shots the turn i buzzed them. I'm for sure going to try this loadout again, cheap and useful. Have you tested wolf scout bikers? T5 and 2 wounds 6 shots out to 12" per model (easy with outflank) Potentially cheaper than scouts + storm if going msu chaff hunting For some reason, my FLGS and local GW store are out of Scout Bikers. really strange. But yeah, scout bikers could be a cheaper and reasonably tough harrasser than 5 scouts in a storm. However, I don't think Scout bikers got options for plasma. Then again, we are thinking of our scouts as opportunistic harrassers, not lynchpin distracter so maybe scout bikers are enough. Not sure of point cost though.

Stoic Raptor Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Scout bikers are currently a webstore exclusive. I was able to find a box at a local store about a year ago and snatched them up. I may need to order more. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/350061-space-wolf-scouts/page/2/#findComment-5163158 Share on other sites More sharing options...
