Email In - Space Wolves 1500pts


HQ:
Logan Grimnar
Rune Priest (Terminator Armor, JotWW, Living Lightning, Chooser of the Slain)

Troops:
Wolf Guard Pack x5 (1 Terminator Armor with Cyclone Missle Launcher)
Wolf Guard Pack x5 (1 Terminator Armor with Cyclone Missle Launcher)
Wolf Guard Pack x5 (1 Terminator Armor with Cyclone Missle Launcher)
Wolf Guard Pack x5 (1 Terminator Armor with Cyclone Missle Launcher)
Wolf Guard Pack x5 (1 Terminator Armor with Cyclone Missle Launcher)

Heavy Support:
Long Fangs x6 (5x Missle Launcher)
Long Fangs x6 (5x Missle Launcher)
Long Fangs x6 (5x Missle Launcher)

Essentially the point is to overwhelm early with lots of missle shots.  If set up correctly (and with a bad set up from the opponent) you can put 25 ML shots first turn - whether Krak or Frag it is going to do a lot of damage.

But you guys are the experts.  Wanted to run it by you since a lot of other sites have people who respond with things that make no comprehensible sense.




Yeah, that's a lot of missiles. But its not a lot of anything else. Its definitely a strong list, and showcases how good wolves can be at ANY points value, but its cold man, and I imagine boring as hell. Also, if anyone does manage to get close to you (Deep Strikers or decent mech) your going to be in a world of hurt. To mitigate this, The easiest answer to deep strikers is Tempests Wrath, yes it means your losing your autocannon shots if you choose to use it, but hell, I think you have the firepower. I'd also like each of those WG Terminators to be packing a Chainfist/Stormshield combo, so your wolfguard units have some counterpunch in CC, as well as making your termi's more survivable. Lets be honest, the 4 wolfguard are ablative wounds, its the missilebot that matters.

So at 1450 pts, we get the following:

Logan Grimnar
Runepriest, Termi Arm,  Jaws and Tempests Wrath

5 x Wolfguard squads with 4 PA Wolfguard, 1 x CML Termi with Chainfist/Stormshield
2 x 5 man Longfang packs, 4 x Missile Launchers in each

Yes, you have lost 7 missiles, and an autocannon. But you have only lost 3 targets, which lets be honest, you probably dont need at 1500pts. What I've given you is threatfactor in your units even if your opponent does close. Chainfists are your redundancy for Land Raiders or tankshocking Preds/Devilfish, and the stormshield allows him to eat a few powerweapon attacks if neccassary. Id advise dropping the Termi armour on the Rune Preist, as its not neccassary, and spending the points elsewhere.

Yes, its a good list, and effective, but you may as well play yahtzee, in my honest opinion.
