First of all, I will only be able to buy 3 pack sets, 2 WG termie sets, 1 inquisitor with stand in fenris wolves, a rune priest and ulrik for this army, do not ask me to get anything else. The inquisitor will stand in for a wolf lord in the list (overseeing the wolves). The army list is attached. |

By asking this you are shooting yourself in the foot - the list you'we suggested needs transport. But seeing as your not going to buy anything else then there's no sense in telling you why the list doesn't work and how you can fix it. As for asking for replys to your threads, stop it. Now. You've been told about it before, so please listen. The Gaming, Fluff & Rules section is one of the quietest on the board so don't be surprised if a topic gets missed for a while. |

El D raises a good point. We can't help you fix this list if your set on what you have without room for flexibility. As it stands, you have no transport. In modern 40k games, transport mobility wins games. I'm one of the more active contributors to this portion of the board, because 'Games & Theory' is my favored niche of Warhammer. I'd start by insisting those troops choices were all given a Drop Pod with Deathwind Launcher and Locator Beacon. The relative small size of the army caused by the large number of Terminators/High cost units will cripple your effectiveness Vs horde armies. The Pods will let you out-position your enemy, then the template launchers will make their numbers work against them. You only need 1 squad of Wolf Guard: Fact. With the layout you'e got here, you can fit all of them into one unit and still tender out a few of them to lead the other units. This will also reduce your available Kill Points by 1. Just because you can take 4 HQ choices, doesn't mean you have to. The points you save by taking just the Terminator armed Wolf Lord and a Rune Priest could be spent elsewhere, like a Dread in a Drop Pod. 9 Blood Claws in a Drop Pod with Locator Beacon and Deathwind Launcher, and an attached Wolf Guard with pair of Wolf Claws is far more effective then 10 Blood Claws with a Power Weapon. Wolf Guard weapons allocation: If the unit numbers 10 models before you move a few to lead units, you can take 2 heavy weapons. These NEED to be Cyclones, you just don't have the Anti-Tank needed to give you a chance against Armor. I'll leave these suggestions to sink in for a bit, then i'll present you with my 'Art of the Wolf' Vol.2 Edited by Tychonaut, 24 Oct 2011, 02:31 PM.

you can save a lot of points by keeping Arjac out of it too. Also just because space wolves are know for there heroes does not mean you have to have one in every squad. When I play mine I love to load up on generic grey hunter squads maxed out they are between 205 - 235 points and can do anything! Also you have no anti tank. Yes you have thunder hammers but they will do you no good if you are walking across the board. |

Sorry about all of the reply problems and I wanted an all foot, fluff first tactics second army so I chose the sons of russ. I normally only play against MEQ/Deamons so hordes are no big deal. Thanks for the replies though! Will start writing the fluff soon (lost company allied with Inquisitor [nutshell]) Edited by Octavian Lars, 25 Oct 2011, 06:37 AM.

Apologies about earlier questions. My main aim was to do with wargear options on characters/wolf guard. |

if thats the case there is no reason to take saga of the wulfkin as that only effect squads of wolves and will have no value other then raising the initiative of two wolves. Also the wolf guard with the frost axe, and the wolf claw these do not stack its one or the other so you are either attacking with str 5 or rerolling. If you want something fluffy pay for a fist instead of the axe. Or swap the assault cannon for one or the other. That way you will not have to between apple pie and cherry pie it'll between pie and cake. If you are only taking Saga of the Hunter for stealth you may want to reconsider that as well. Sure he gives it to the squad but are you going to spend you entire advance up the field in cover? This build of a wolf priest would work great with a unit of scouts though plus that would still fit with your foot slogging them.(outflank with 11 melta bombs and 3 power weapons!) |

Replaced the axe with a power fist and added some wargear (WT necklace+M-bombs) to the inquisitor WL
the WL leads the grey hunters with wulfen as a high power flank attacker using outflank.
removed wolfkin |
