But what if I want to take him as a single,<br />independent character?Andras Horvathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03750140895583495875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320541665600624608.post-4689228719814224202014-08-24T09:53:18.812+01:002014-08-24T09:53:18.812+01:00I ran 2 squad of Blood Claws with 4 squads of Grey...I ran 2 squad of Blood Claws with 4 squads of Grey Hunters which may change abit now. Always liked Lukas but never used him because of his cost think that will change to. And 100% agree stick Lukas and a full squad of Blood Claws in a Stormwolf and throw them at the toughest thing you can find.Wolf Lord Ulthane Allslayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08811447232002716025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320541665600624608.post-23061043210704532902014-08-18T23:46:14.968+01:002014-08-18T23:46:14.968+01:00Oh and as I've said elsewhere I was often runn...Oh and as I've said elsewhere I was often running WG terminators anyway so I tended to tack on a couple of squad leaders there without using an extra Elites slot.From The Fanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01043549318855295914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320541665600624608.post-16267829791991472072014-08-18T23:45:21.351+01:002014-08-18T23:45:21.351+01:00It all comes down to how you were equipping your g...It all comes down to how you were equipping your grey hunters and wolf guard. I was running 9-man squads with melta, standard and wulfen each with a WG with combi-melta/PF (208pts per squad). They'd now cost 213pts for the same squad. On the face of it not much of an increase but I wouldn't be getting the wulfen or standard which made a HUGE difference in the old book. <br /><br />The CM/PF wolf guard went from 43pts to 59pts making me seriously consider whether they're worth it (in that format at least).From The Fanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01043549318855295914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320541665600624608.post-89311912481567019352014-08-17T23:18:28.358+01:002014-08-17T23:18:28.358+01:00Nice well thought out review.
The only thing I dis...Nice well thought out review.<br />The only thing I disagree with is your interpretation of how expensive wolfguard are under the new 'dex - personally I'm finding my squads haven't changed much in cost.<br />With the last 'dex I was running 3 GH squads- one with axe and plasmagun, one with meltagun and fist, and the last with flamer and sword, all had the mark of the wulfen. Attached to these were pack leaders - one with axe and shield, one with twin wolf claws and the last with a frostblade. All this ran to 614pts..... under the new 'dex it runs slightly more expensive (admittedly without the much missed MoW but still with the extra CCW) at 621pts but frees up the elites slot previously used by the pack leaders for a paltry 7pts difference. Adding in the wolf standard brings the difference even closer 644pts under the last 'dex and just 646pts in the new one.<br />Of course this is just my 2 cents worth and YMMV but maybe the difference in costs isn't as great as you think.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
