So I was thinking (dangerous yes), WG with Jump packs and SS

So last week folks I was creating my first 1k list to take to a 6 week long campaign. I started with 1k so I could play a doubles match and give me some time to relearn the rules and it speeds up my play. Im pretty darn slow with 2k pts.

 

The list I used is this-

Krom

Rune Priest, Rune Sword

 

3x5 GH, 2 units have a pack leader with pfist

3 Razorbacks, 1 AC, 1 LC, 1 HB

 

3 Dreads- PC and ML for each.

 

I wanted to use Wulfen and create a more in your face list, and started off trying to squeeze in a StormWolf but I figured I just didnt have enough models on the board for 1k- I figured I would add those elements in when I bump up to 2k.

 

So with 5 Wulfen in a StormWolf, what else to add? I dont have any blood claws, Grey Hunters I have, but honestly, 10 bolter shots or a few close combat attacks really arent threatening.

 

So I kicked over to the WG entry and my CA2018.

WG are cheap now. 14 pts, storm shield is 2. Does anyone not like the 16 pt Bolter/SS? I mean I like them enough to replace my GH in Razorbacks.

You can add in a pfist if you want. You can add in some combiplasma if you want. Heck you can add in power swords cheap enough. Given their lack of mobility when they hit the ground I was thinking storm shields and maybe 1 combiplasma or 1 pfist so 80-90 pts.

 

What do people think? I mean that would be a difficult unit to dislodge with the 3++.

I also think WG with Jump packs and storm shield would be good as well, just a bit more expensive.

 

Thoughts?

I use my WG all the time, they are so so good. I have yet the strap packs on them but I can for sure vouch for the SS/SB combo. With the decrease too I’ve been running combi flamers/SS as well and they do some serious work. Typically I chuck them in a RB but I’d love to try some jump packs.

 

Sb/SS is great because you can deepstrike or outflank for double taps I’d needed. I like throw a hammer on the leader too and I never regret it.

WG with jump packs are fun to use but can be a bit pricey points wise.  I have a squad of ten with jump pack and PW and PF I give them a Wolf Priest with a jump pack as well.  They do a great deal of damage.

My idea is even more dangerous: same thing but on bikes. Even more expensive and crazy. Will probably still stick a powerfist or hammer in there somewhere, preferably on the leader.

 

The general idea is harassment as well last minute objective grabbing. It has to be grabbing since WG can't contest with Obsec troops unless they really aren't that many, but even one troop left alive will waste their potential. So have to go for weakly held objectives or tie up a tank in battle.
