SW 2K with Sicaran & Termite

[ChainsawDR]

Edit: Updated Long Fangs to include Cherub

 

Getting back into 40k and Space Wolves after being out since 6th Edition. Would appreciate any feedback on my list below (planning to test it out using TTS), especially on the use of the Terrax-Pattern Termite & Sicaran Omega - I'm going off Battlescribe as Games Workshop in USA is perennially out of stock of codexes (super weird in the year 2021 that print books are always out of stock) - as I haven't seen them in many army lists but they look really good for their points to me (not sure if including them is frowned upon in games?).

 

Overview: The list attempts to near guarantee many units get a first shot, start units in midfield to threaten objectives, and tries to avoid too many points in one unit so not afraid to sacrifice anything. My hope is that the opponent has many competing threats to deal with. 

*Invictor Tactical Warsuit & Incursor Squad starting near a midfield objective and laying Morkai Bolts on priority targets

*Long Fangs in Drop Pod for Turn 1-2 alpha strike on priority targets

*Arjac + Plasma Terminators deep strike coming in turn 2

*Lukas + Chaplain + Bloodclaws arriving via Termite assault in Turn 2, with +2 charge, re-rolling charge, re-rolling hits, while the Termite itself looks like a monster for dakka & melee that has to be dealt with (e.g. its not just a drop pod that sits there, its a real hard to shift threat and should be able to pop open some transports)

*Capt on Bike + Bikers - with Capt's load-out having a potential turn 1 charge

*Redemptor & Sicaran offering a long range threat

*Cyberwolf sitting back to deny deepstrike / late objective holding

*Grey Hunters squad I'm thinking of testing have them hold the home objective, or if including them in the Long Fang Drop pod would help the Long Fangs survive to turn 2.

Have you considered the sicaran arcus?

 

The meta group i am in loves it with HB sponsors

 

Good against harlies and chews up MEQ

[ChainsawDR]

Thanks TiguriusX. Yes I almost went for the arcus version. It was a tough choice between the arcus, omega and the punisher - I keep flip flopping between them! I like that the Arcus can target units out of line of sight, whereas the Punisher has 18x S6 AP -1 D1 shots with the main weapon, while the Omega has a supercharged 6x S9 AP-3 D3 shots.

 

I think the HB sponsons for 30pts makes sense on the omega and the punisher as I'd already be seeking line of sight, but not sure I've understood the advantages of taking them on the Arcus (e.g. it'd likely hide out of LOS and so the HB 30pts might rarely see action/gain their points back). Let me know if you'd put down the extra 30pts for them pls.

 

Thanks again (and assuming there's no issue with taking either Sicarans or Termites in the TTS tourney's you play?)

[TiguriusX]

No problem in TTS at all.

 

In fact I played my first game with a sicaran arcus yesterday.

 

The HB are counter intuitive but you don't need to hide out of LOS all game.

 

HB have 36" range and 9 shots plus your artillery piece help clear bodies. With a 14" move it is easy to maneuver and line up long range shots.

 

The rest of my army has tons of melta so anything trying to shoot my backfield is going to pay dearly for it.

 

In that game I was basically throwing buckets of damage 2 dice at things and hoping they die.

 

I was mostly firing at emperors children 2xLC terminators who only have 2 wounds still.
