Sticky bodies for "Fortnite" event

[Ratherdashing]

My local store is doing an event where all the players will be divided up around four tables (probably four to a table) and be put in a free for all deathmatch. All players against each other, whoever survives wins that table. The winner of each table takes *only* the models that survived to the final table to duke it out with the other three winners. There's also a "Fortnite" rule where the table shrinks by two inches every turn, killing anyone on the edge.

 

Points are 1250 with the (imo) pretty harsh limit of one detachment.

 

I normally don't take tournaments seriously but this one seems like so much fun I want to stick around as long as possible. It seems like sticky (for the cost) units are the way to go. Lots of killiness would work too but Long Fangs might be slightly limited by the crowded and shrinking table.

 

So what do you think are the best Wolf units for the job? My Wulfen might be ready by then, they seem up to the task. With CP being so important I think I have to take a battalion, which means at least fifteen Grey Hunters.

 

P.S. There's also a prize for whoever kills the most Characters in the event, so that might be fun to shoot for. Snipers are probably the worst way to go about that, methinks..maybe a Battle Leader or Freki Rune Priest to go hunting?

That sounds like loads of fun. I'd love to play in something like that.

 

Anyway, I think Wulfen, TWC and jump pack characters will do loads of work in something like that. I would take lots of fast moving and tough units.

I wonder who the best jump pack character hunter/"smash captain" is. Wolf Lord for better stat line? WGBL for cheapness? Rune Priest for Freki/Geri buff? Or all three for overlapping buffs and absolute wreckage?

I'm not sure, i think you would struggle to get all three in a detachment with the limited points. Maybe the elite detachment with Smash Lord, rune priest with jump pack, Wulfen squad SS/TH, Wulfen dreads x2, 4 TWC with SS/PF comes out at ~1000 points (roughly from memory). If you want some ranged bite then put a las pred in? Or a stormwolf.

I don't have thunderwolves or a axe/shield dred but this is what I came up with. I really wanted the CP from a battalion so I added some troops hoping they can help.

 

 

 

Rune Priest with Jump pack, Wolfkin Saga, and Fury of the Wolf Spirits/Jaws of the World Wolf to drop in and make some murder.

 

Wolf Lord in TDA with Frostfury and a claw to drop in and assist whoever needs him based on the board state.

 

Wolf Priest with Jump Pack and plasma pistol to drop in with the Wulfen and buff/heal them.

 

2 squads of 5 Grey Hunters with a plasma gun.

 

1 squad of 10 Grey Hunters with 2 meltaguns.

 

 

Ven Dred with twin LC and heavy flamers to hit vehicles and walk around.

 

5 Wulfen with 2 great axes and 2 hammer/shield combos to outflank somewhere and wreck face.

 

Long fangs with Heavy Bolters and a CML wolf guard with SS to tank.

 

 

I come in one point over so I'll figure something out. I don't think the Long Fangs will be too much of a liability as I can deploy them in far enough to not worry about the shrinking map. And LF are just too good to pass up. Normally I know having only one vehicle is a bad idea as it gives a target for big guns, but with a bunch of other players on the table, it's not like the Dred is going to be the biggest vehicle on the map.
