I am still on the waiting for my things to arrive in the mail.. gotta blame the strikes of postmen for this..
I was to the game store yesterday, and I was thinking on how to prepare an additional army list in order to get them on for a casual game or maybe a small tourney.. something that will be on a more all comers basis, and able to demonstrate the counter-attacking abilities of the Space Wolves. There is no reason to discuss how good an army the Space Wolves are..we all know this point is true.. :)
Here is the list:
wolf lord with Terminator Armour, Belt of Russ, Woolftooth Necklace, Bolter and saga of Majesty
Rune Priest with Terminator Armour, Runic Weapon, Bolt Pistol, Frag grenade, Krak grenades, JOWW, and LL
4x Terminators Wolf Guard with Woolftooth Necklace, Foehammer, Anvil Shield, Saga of the Bear
4x Terminators Wolf Guard with Wolf claws and Combi-meltas
2x Grey Hunters pack
Plus the following,
Drop Pod
Land Raider Redeemer
2x Rhinos
2x Whirlwinds
This list is quite different from the Wolfwing list, and it is a highly mobile army.. Main drawback of Space Wolves and I would say almost all of the Space Marines armies is that they are pretty slow in advancing through the battlefield.
So, they must be mounted on transports. The old cheap and cheerful Rhinos come to the rescue at this point. Something to move the grey hunters packs faster on the other side of the battlefield.
A land Raider and a Drop pod are going to be employed in the transportation of the two HQs and their wolf guards. Assignment of these is to be decided on each game. Reasoning behind this is that these units must get into cc as soon as possible, and the drop pod fits this quite good :P The Land Raider will provide cover and firepower against foots loggers as its flamers will make a short work of them :)
Lastly, there are the Whirlwinds..my favourite heavy support vehicles. Just keep them under cover, and let them rain missiles and death to the enemies of the Imperium.
