Ultradad74 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 So I picked up StormClaw and am thinking of adding the wolves as an ally/stand alone small points army (maybe 1000-1500). Any suggestions what to add to the Stormclaw set? You name it for my Ultras, I have it except for centurions, just to give you an idea of what I have. All feedback is, as always, appreciated.

Nadir Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 We are waiting for a new dex, so hard to say anything now. You will have to wait about 2 weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squark Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Let's see... What do Wolves have that the boys in deep blue don't... Well, we have fast, powerful assault units in the form of Thunderwolf Cavalry. Long fangs may also have a few tricks your devastators don't know (but at this point we're still in the dark about what the Long Fang Ancient brings to the pack). Wolf guard terminators with power weapons (combi-weapons optional. For power mauls, use the thunderhammers with the wires cut off as warhammers) make an interesting alternative to honor guard as a meta-buster assault unit. In the troops slot... Hrm... I'm not sure what ultramarines really want from our troops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadir Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 One thing for sure, is the flying, mid ranged big blast machine for killing marines (traitor of coz) and monstrous creatures. Named Stormfang... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultradad74 Posted July 30, 2014 Author Share Posted July 30, 2014 That was the deal sealer right there! Such a sweet model! Bringer of much pain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasper_Hawser Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Actually the formation is very good, basically whatever the wolf lord and his unit hits first, every one else is subsequently twin linked when firing at same unit. As in most cases, Wolves make good objective grabbers and are less likely to die to asssault units due to counterattack. I suggest using them as Rhino pushers and counter attack units.

Ultradad74 Posted July 31, 2014 Author Share Posted July 31, 2014 I think that's what I'm looking for is an assault flavor objective holder who aren't afraid to get their hands dirty and tear up Orks with glee. My first army was blood angels, who were off the table by turn 4 before I gave up on them after 5 games. Ultramarines have fared far better, but I'm still missing something after 2 years of play. I picked up guard and quickly gave them up when I realized I'll be painting platoons forever. I like the wolves, their lore, and think they'll do well as an ally and a stand alone army.

Ultradad74 Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 Another question, and if the admins are cool with it, I'll just keep it to the thread I already started. Are Fenrisian wolves worth investing in... Or stick to Thunderwolf Cavalry? Are the TWC a better investment than an assault squad? Would like to stay "fluffy". Thanks again for the time.

Valerian Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Ultradad, Have you read the Guide linked in my signature block, below? If not, you might want to start there, and then come back into your thread to ask specific follow-up questions. I think it might help you out. I'll be updating it when the codex hits, but only one small section will be impacted by the new codex, the rest of the Guide is generic and applicable across all 40k armies.

Ultradad74 Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 I'm not seeing a link. Thank you for letting me know. If I can get in there, I can't wait to check it out! Found space wolves resources in the pinned threads. I'll check it when my 3 year old settles down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
