Mech-ish Wolves...Not Hybrid...well OK, it is...


Last for tonight on the Wolves. This is about as far as I have got with the codex. I could knock more up, but these are played and I know they work locally.


Plus they represent a diverse range of armies for SW


This has one hell of an alpha strike for 1500, better than this one. But not as sustainable due to the HKM. Which by the way are so worth the points. IMHO.

At BS4 anyway. I don't think so personally at BS3 - yes, IG I am talking at you.


Rune Priest Asaf Cloudstruck: Runic Weapon, Melta Bombs, LL, JOTWW

Rune Priest Mjarl Thundertongue: Runic Weapon, Melta Bombs, LL, MH

Grey Hunters Fynthir: x7 Meltagun, Rhino - HKM

Grey Hunters Thorgar: x6 Meltagun, Rhino - HKM

Grey Hunters Larth: x6 Meltagun, Rhino - HKM

Landspeeder Tornado: Typhoon Missile, Heavy Bolter

Landspeeder Tornado: Typhoon Missile, Heavy Bolter

Long Fangs Jorgmunson x6: 5 X Missile Launchers RazorB -TLLC,HKM

Long Fangs Fifnir x6:5 X Missile Launchers RazorB -TLLC,HKM

Long Fangs Gurthor x6: 5 X Missile Launchers RazorB -TLLC,HKM

RP's roll with the GH, who are in small sqauds as I don't have the points for more. But, combined they are potent enough. Just ask all the 5 man RAS running around in Blood Angel lists at the minute. Pants on thier own, but supported by others...
The GH run with the same principal. Support is key.

So a dirty first turn of shooting with 25 Krak Missiles and 2D6 autocannon shots anywhere on the board.
Not bad.
Screw it, thats awesome sauce.

At 1500, there will be no transports left on the board end of your turn. Plus, half the heavy armour should at least not be shooting for a turn.
Rinse repeat.
Clearly the missiles will drop, turn 2 they'll drop by 6 to 19 as the HKM are gone, but this is still solid.

plenty of spread out Psychic defense too.
Reasonable CC, provided you keep the GH together.
Some late game mobility to contest if you need to with empty LF Razors and primarily Land Speeders.
Oh, plenty of cover for them too behind rhino chassis.

Again, accepted that they limitation is AV14. Leman Russes, Mono's and LR will be a tough target. But they are supposed to be. If needs be, the list can be used agressively with all 3 GH squads targeting LR (for example) with Melta drive by's...

Thoughts? A bit more of a serious list than a couple of the others posted tonight...
