CaptainStabby Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 So, with our WGBL going the way of the Dodo and becoming basic Lt's and losing gear options... :( I need to replace my jumpy choppy shield WGBL with, something. I kinda hate TWC but that's kinda looking like the correct option since I can keep the same loadout aside from the mode of traversal. I suppose I could slot him in as a 2nd Wolf Lord but Im fairly averse to that as well. Any other options? I also suppose I could just drop him from the list overall, but that would make me a sad panda. theprophetofwar 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/367695-what-do-replace-my-wgbl-with/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander_Moustache Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 The loss of the Shield hurts, but I think it may be an oppertunity to swap it for something shooty. Even sticking with the Master crafter bolter could prove interesting Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/367695-what-do-replace-my-wgbl-with/#findComment-5632058 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ragnar69 Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Make him some buddies and use him as pack leader TiguriusX 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/367695-what-do-replace-my-wgbl-with/#findComment-5632081 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorin Helm-splitter Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Yeah I think Ragnar69 is right. Make either a squad of wolfguard with jump packs, or a squad of skyclaws. Because you dislike thunderwolves I'd recommend the wolfguard route speedy units that hit hard are a must and the ability to take some storm shields is nice. Plus it'd make sense for him to still be leading a squad of wolfguard.

CaptainStabby Posted November 16, 2020 Author Share Posted November 16, 2020 Yeah, he will probably end up as a pack leader for a WG squad of some sort, he looks too cool to just be sidelined. Looking at the points adjustments he fits better as a pack leader and then I can use a Judiciar in his slot, just need to shave 5 points somewhere...

theprophetofwar Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Edition changes are always rough on some of my favorites. I've gone the route of 'demoting' some models into pack leads. It's seems the most elegant solution TiguriusX 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/367695-what-do-replace-my-wgbl-with/#findComment-5632208 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainStabby Posted November 17, 2020 Author Share Posted November 17, 2020 Also not having a second Scout Squad because of laggy Battlescribe frees up more points. So many points, muahahaha! (its like 90 points) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/367695-what-do-replace-my-wgbl-with/#findComment-5632567 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiguriusX Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 (edited) I say put that smash WGBL back with his crew of jump wolf guard The crew have LC/SS The battle leader keeps his TH/SS And now you can use thane of the retinue for master crafted 4 damage Then set those wolves loose to hunt! *this works awesome with frost weapon dual LC as well Hit on 2s reroll wounds 6 attacks S5 D2 Edited November 17, 2020 by TiguriusX Karhedron 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/367695-what-do-replace-my-wgbl-with/#findComment-5632575 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainStabby Posted November 18, 2020 Author Share Posted November 18, 2020 Yeah, I need to build a new 9e WG pack. My old one was just for lulz. Stormbolter/PAxe(used to be frost) and jump packs. Totally not optimal but with the GK wrist bolters and 2h hafts they look dope as hell and make me smile. :D svane jotunsbane, Slave to Darkness and theprophetofwar 3 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/367695-what-do-replace-my-wgbl-with/#findComment-5632973 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could just keep him as a Lt and say the shield is just decoration?

Karhedron Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I need to replace my jumpy choppy shield WGBL with, something. I have the same pain. I built mine during lockdown and haven't even had a chance to field him. Gone too soon. :( TWC WGBL definitely looks like the closest approximation. The Bladeguard Lt is quite nice if you want someone to rock with other Primaris units.

sturguard Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I had assumed that wolf priests were in the codex, evidently not- I guess they are lumped in with Chaplains in the marine codex. Do wolf priests still have the options for jump packs? Also is there a captain of sorts that we can take that has a jump pack or did they do away with Smash Captains?

Do wolf priests still have the options for jump packs? Also is there a captain of sorts that we can take that has a jump pack or did they do away with Smash Captains? Chaplains and Captains can both take Jump Packs. However it is worth looking at other mobility options. Bikes (Primaris Chaplain) or Thunderwolves (Lord) both provide a boost to durability with T5 and extra wounds. They can't climb so Jump Packs are still useful but other mobility options are worth considering.

sturguard Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Perfect, I have a wolf priest all four ways, on foot, terminator armor, jump pack and bike- so all good. Same with the captain, I have a thunderwolf mounted option, jump pack, terminator armor and on foot in power armor- just want to keep all my bases covered. Thanks!
