Shiraz Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 The Thunderwolf Cavalry (Swifthunters) can Advance and charge in turn 1. Is there a way so other units can do that?

Jorin Helm-splitter Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 You could have a squad of wolf guard/blood claws drop in a pod. Then drive up a wolf priest on a bike to give them +2 to their charge. That said first turn charges aren't always ideal typically your hitting a screening unit, and the squad your using will be more expensive. In 9th things in the open die so that isn't ideal, your basically giving your opponent a positive trade. I like to try to advance behind obscuring and get the screens out of the way before I commit.

Shiraz Posted February 17, 2022 Author Share Posted February 17, 2022 Thanks for the advice! A Wolf Priest is a Chaplain in 9th? Yesterdag my thunderwolf cavalry got slaughtered by Salamander Aggressors when charging.... So I need other strategies (I'm new to 40k ;-)).

Karhedron Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Getting a good unit like Thunderwolves into melee is normally a good result. But even the best unit can get surrounded and killed if not supported. A Character like the Primaris Wolf Priest on Bike can Advance & Charge if given the Saga of the Hunter.

TiguriusX Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 You can get most of your army in but if you go 2nd your army fails You are also hitting with fairly weak melee Incursors 9" from DZ Foot infantry coming out of DPs (BCs are common but you could also put WG on foot with upgraded weapons Bike character with hunter to charge after moving 20" More of a gimmick than legit tactic I found 3 incursors with lord of deceit as plan B a good balance Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/373360-possible-ways-to-advance-charge-in-turn-1/#findComment-5797571 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah wolf priests are chaplains, ours just have an extra stratagem. The primaris chaplain on a bike is one of our best units.
