one of my favriot tatics is to take advantage
of the exterminator and leave it on the back lihje
right next to my anihalator so i can blow
away tanks of weaken a squad for my blood claws
also dont waist your time with 15 man blood
claws go for 10s and a rhino because a 15 is not
likley to make it across the board but
a 10 and a rhino is and just field a 10 man grey hunter
with only bolters as they are next to useless
in a assult oh one more thing on bc's dont give em
plasma pistols only power weapons meltagun
and a power fist that is a good combo it can kill
quite a few things also dont igore the
venerable dreadnaght
it has superb specal abbilites and a good
battel leader and body guard can be usefull in termy
armor for suporting attacks or ire power
also the bikes are not really all that expensive for all
the things they do i sugest you invest
in them and give them a battel leader as well.

I concur with the use of the Crusader. However,
due to points I don't use a rune priest. I
mount a Wolf priest on a bike and give
him some Fen. Wolves and send him with the other
Blood Claw Bikers. I also use two squads
of Grey Hunters in Rhinos. I always go for the
smoke launchers too. I use a command squad
in a Land Raider Promethesus too. Depending
on the points of the game I will use a
Drop pod for a Venerable Dreadnought and of course
Scouts. Everything is geared for close
combat so the rey Hunters have Close Combat
weapons, one power weapon and one power
fist. The Blood Claws have one flamer, one
power weapon and one power fist.

My exterminator, while designed to take
out hordes of unarmored troops, has been
PHENOMENAL in reducing space marine squads
to piles of husking power-armor shells.
In one battle, it took out 15 blood angels,
and their rhino.
In a second battle, it took out a terminator
and a rhino (had a bad day)
In the third battle, it took out 4 of 7
dark angel bikes from a 5-bike/1 attack bike/1 chaplain
on bike squad
In the most recent battle, in a single round
of fire, it cut a black templar tactical squad from ten
to five. A tactical error on my part allowed
it to melt under the tender loving care of an eversol
assassin with meltabombs, so that was considered
another bad day.
So far, the tank proves a worthy adversary
because
A) with 13 shots (and 2 re-rolls if the
AC misses) I'm bound to kill SOMETHING every turn,
and usually more than one of them.
B) with S7 primary weapon, can challenge
anything but toughest armor.
C) With Front Armor 14, makes an excellent
target (big and prominent on the battlefield) for
heavy weapons, instead of my TL Lascannon
Venerable and TL Lascannon razorback --
who then live a little longer to take out
whatever's shooting at the Leman.
At a cost of 215 points it's an effective
killing machine. It has not killed its own point-value
(except for the BA massacre).. but the
number of points it's saved by being a target, included
with the damage its done, has made it more
than worth it to me.

Blimey! I couldnt read that without taking
a breath. Unfortunately I had to make up the
punctuation in there as it seemed to have
gone walkies!
Ah well. Not all of us have the joys of
spell checkers.
Anyway, nice thread start.
I have approx 3000 points of the Space Puppies
myself now.
Not all entirely fieldable though as I
have more than I need. Ie I have Blood Claws set with
WYSIWYG incase i want to field 15 with
3 power fists, or 3 power weapons.
Usually I field the BC's in 9's with 2
power weapons, and attach a Rune Priest and put them in
a Rhino. I also use Flamers with these
guys as it autohits and hasnt got to rely on the BS of 3.
My Grey Hunters are typically armed with
a meltagun, plasma pistols/power weapons. With a
BS of 4 it makes the meltagun/plasma pistols
hit more often than not.
I also deply a tooled up scout unit against
armoured units. 6 scouts with 2 plasma, 2 power
and a meltagun with meltabombs do untold
damage behind enemy lines.
Have a look at some of my pics on
http://communities.msn.co.uk/spacewolves
Its got my complete army list on here too.
I like my Leman Russ Exterminator! Pic on
the above site!
I also have a Whirlwind for use in the
1000 point games.
My Long Fangs can be changed depending on
enemy/scenario too. I only field the one pack
but have 2 lascannon, 2 heavy bolter, 2
missile launcher and a plasmacannon &multimelta to
choose from.
Usually the lascannons and hvy bolters
come out to play.
thats about it from me!
happy gaming to all Puppy commanders!

that the exterminator is actually faster

how much moving does a extermonator need
to do anyway?

And for the REQUIRED second HQ choice???
Umm thgis list is illegal! You need 2 HQ's for
1000 point games my Russ following friend!
You have success with a Long Fang pack
straight out of the box?! Thats a rarity on its own.
Try having 2x2 of the same weapon. Ie 2
las cannons and 2 missile launchers. With split fire
rules this will be far more effective.
Trust me!
The troop choice is nice though. But when
you add the required second HQ, this will hit
nearly 1150 points....
Let us know when ya finish it!

actually its how you interpret "rounding
up" i say it's like you round 4.4 down and 4.5 up not
everything rounds to the next whole number,
opinions vary from person to person, and there is
no need to press that caps button, its
just annoying, although i do have to admit the long fangs
are limiting, but i dont really have the
money to but models just like that, besides im not a very
picky person im quite happy with whats
in thre box (although i really want to drop the
multi-melta for a rocket dude)

Sorry my furry friend! It's NOT how you
round up! Per the codex every 750 or PART
thereof has to have an HQ. This isn't optional!
I've just bought a crusader for one of
my blood claws and this takes me up over the next 750
multiple so I've had to get another wolf
guard battle leader (converting up the assault sergeant
with grenade) so that my full army could
be fielded if I wanted, nearly 5000pts!!!
My previous army list is also on KrakGrenades
community site, take a look, the list is too long
to put up here. (My pc isn't capable of
staying on line long enough for me to type it up, and I
can't get the cut&paste thing going
at all!)
Blood Angels Brother Edward, if you're thinking
of going sw's Welcome to the kennel!!
Maybe you could also contribute to the
Space Wolves section of the community site? before
you load up to your site naturally!!!!
OK, Krak there's another plug for you mate!

Sorry about the CAPITALS. I wasnt trying
to be sarky - honest!
I just wanted to make a point about it.
Cheers Harkon me old furry friend!
Just to clarify the rounding of points...
0-750 = 1 HQ
751 - 1500 = 2 HQ
1501 - 2250 = 3HQ
2251 - 3000 = 4 HQ
You dont round down lol, its for every 750
or part thereof.
Hope to see the revised list soon Mr CreepinJ.
PS Harkon - keep up the shameful plugs...
*ego boost*
PPS B.A.B.E good choice my friend. Put them
nice shiney red ones away for the time being!

An army is rounded up fully, and therefore
anything from 1995 points is really classed as a
2000 point army. Besides, are you gonna
tell your opponent, oh you can't field a 2000 point
army against me, my army is only 1999 points...
And I doubt he used the caps (just a tought)
for one word many people use a shift key :)

LISTEN TO
MY ADVICE . (8 Replies). TheGreatWolf[]. 2/1/2002 15:09 (2/3/2002 6:56)
Thank you fellow Wolf Lords, this is exactly
how i wanted this to happen. but now its time of
The Great Wolf to share his wisdom of the
battlefield
This is how you use your troop choices
on an army of about 1500 to 2000 pts.
10 Blood Claws [1 flamer, 1 powerfist, 1
power weapon] + Rhino
10 Grey Hunters [1 meltagun, 1 Power weapon]
+ Razorback
10 Blood Claws [1 Flamer, 1 Powerfist,
1 Power weapon] + Rhino
this is what ive found to be the ULTIMATE
troop selection, a bit costly but wait till you see it
in action. You have to trust your 'Old
Wolf' on this one.
a great tactic to use with these is to
have another unit alongside it. this unit is:
HQ
1 Wold Lord + 4 Wolf Guard Bodyguard +
Land Raider
[Terminator armour,
Assault cannon,
cyclone missile launcher]
this is another recipie i have come up with,
it is too costly but adding both this HQ choice and
the troops what do you need apart from
a venerable Dreadnought.
Tactics: load the Rhinos, razorback and
the Land raider and drive them right into the thick of
the battle. Then they all unload, keeping
the transports right behind them.
The Blood Claws jump right into Hand-To-Hand
The Grey Hunters fire at any units not
in combat
The HQ choice can now either charge into
H-to-H or it can use the assault cannon and the
missiles to make a devistating blow.
and to top it all off, the transports didnt
just provide a safe journey to the battle the land raider
equipped with lasscannons can takeout and
tanks or walkers or a crusader with its 12 bolters
can takeout even more infantry (handy for
fighting orcs)
So there is my very longwinded tactics.
If you let me guide you can achieve lots
more as i am willing to share my wisdom

Load the Razorback? with who? 10 Grey Hunters?
I didnt know they were aloowed to sit on
each others laps!
I think the math is a little out my fellow
Wolf Lord!
Its also not the most fludd based composition.
Although many SW commanders dont play for
the fluff, I know many do they chose the
chapter because it has the best history of the SM's.
there should be more Grey Hunters than
Blood Claws, but it is just nit picking really.
>> 1 Wold Lord + 4 Wolf Guard Bodyguard
+ Land Raider
>> [Terminator armour,
>> Assault cannon,
>> cyclone missile launcher]
In a 1500 to 2000 points battle I wouldnt
field a seperate HQ and bodyguard in Termie
Armour. Its an awful lot of points to spend
expecially with a Crusader or MK3. the points
could be spent better elsewhere - but hey
its your retinue and if it works then thats cool with
me!
Id certainly use this combo at around 2500
to 3000 no probs.
Ill have to dig up my 1000 pointer force
with ther points on.
Basically it goes like...
Wolf Guard Battle Leader, MC plasma pistol,
lighning claw & wargear - power armour
Rune Priest with frostbade and MC bolt pistol
+ wargear
9 blood claws, flamer, power wpn, Rhino
with armour and smoke
9 Grey Hunters, meltagun, power wpns, Rhino
with armour and smoke
Whirlwind
The 2 HQ's lead the packs.
Cant remember if I got 4 scouts in there
or another pack or hunters. Ill have to look it up, its
on my puter somewhere...!
Might have had a WGL as well, oh i dunno!
Happy gaming all.

Yes i am correct, Grey hunters may be transported
in a Razorback. Read your Codex, it
clearly says a Rhino at +50 pts or a Razorback
at +70 or +80 pts (i forget)
>> In a 1500 to 2000 points battle I wouldnt
field a seperate HQ and bodyguard in Termie
Armour. Its an awful lot of points to spend
expecially with a Crusader or MK3. the points
could be spent better elsewhere - but hey
its your retinue and if it works then thats cool with
me!
>> Id certainly use this combo at around
2500 to 3000 no probs.
That is when i use the combo. sorry, i didnt
mention this but your right, if anyone used this
tactic on a 1500 - 2000 pt army, that would
prettly much be the whole army.
Also, i am very fond of my younger wolf
brothers the blood calws. there is nothing more
satisfying than seeing my youngsters quench
their thirst for blood. this is just 1 of my MANY
tactics. another tactic is to have 3 Grey
hunters and 1 Blood Claw pack infront of them (used
againt Chaos), the Grey Hunters Take out
any models that cant resist the temptation of
charging the Claws in H-to-H. of course
the dreadnought is there to provide firepower or help
in H-to-H if things get nasty. this is
too a tactic for quite a small army.

I dont play SW but i have some advice . (0 Replies). WarpExarch[]. 2/2/2002
14:37 (2/2/2002
14:37)
My black legion recently barely fought
off a SW force. His forces:
9 grey hunters in rhino, 1 power weapon,
1 flamer
9 Blood claws in rhino 1 w/power weapon
Runepriest in termie armour w/ power weapon
Wolf Lord in artificer armour with powerfist
and meltagun
Predator w/ 2-linked lascannon and lascannon
sponsons
Whirlwind
My forces:
1 predator with nurgle infestation, autocannon
and lascannon sponsons
7 marines, 1 lascannon
8 marines, 1 hvy bolter in rhino
Chaos lord with termie armour, power weapon
and combi-flamer
5 termies, 1 w/autocannon, 3 w/ cc weapons,
1 w/powerfist 1 w/chainfist, 3 combiflamers
and one combi-melta
12 khorne berserkers 1 w/plasma pistol,
champ with chaos armour and power weapon
1 Juggernaut of khorne
3 obliterators
He blitzed me with both of his troops choices,
and thanks to their (crappy) sweeping assault,
he chewed through nearly half my army,
then died to a combined shoot of ALL of my
remaining troops. his remaining runepreist
and wolf lord manadged to knock off so many of
my guys that at the end, I only had the
heavybolter guy and my predator left. My heavy bolter
got the award of most valuable, for killing
his runepriest (in cc, no less!)
Moral of the story: all troops can be used
as effective assault troops, and shouldn't be
underestimated.

True, you can use a Razorback, but it can
only hold 6 men not 10 as you suggested to rush
forward in your tactics. So Grey Hunters
can be transported in them but not the number you
mentioned.
For your reference page 175 of the rulebook
states: 'The Razorback can carry up to six

This was the point i was making in the earlier
thread about Hunters Taking razorbacks!!!!
And you went off all quoting rules and
stuff....
YES They can have one but only when the
pack is 6 strong hence the pack size is 6-10
models!
(This always amused me about the BC entry
and says that BC cannot have razorbacks as
they are reserved for senior units - but
then the pack min is 8 - so they cant fit in it anyway!
DUH!)
I hope you 'fess up to your mates that you
have been a naughty boy. You must report to the
Company Rune Priest for immediate disciplinary
action.

Wisdom of
the Sagas . (0 Replies). Wolfpoet[]. 2/1/2002 18:51 (2/1/2002 18:51)
Brothers, it is good that we are sharing
our wisdom. Now my fellow wolves, step into the
circle and listen to the wisdom of the
Sagas.
First among all other considerations is
our natures, we are Wolves made manifest. And such
our tactics must reflect this.
Our packs must work as one, while the young
Blood Claws charge forward the wiser Grey
Hunters must advance in support.
One Blood claw pack should advance down
the center, finding glory in the chase. One Grey
hunter pack should advance alongside each
flank and support the Blood claws.
Behind these three packs the Venerable
dreadnought shall follow the advance, adding his
firepower to the fray.
The Wolf Lord with his bodyguard should
be mounted in one of the rare Land Raider
Crusaders and take one flank, while the
wolf scouts infiltrate the foe and eliminate his support
assets.
Thus my Brothers is the battle won and your
place in the Sagas assured!

I personally only thik they're good in
a defensive game. My stratagy is to pray for a mission
with deep strike, and then load up on squads
of 15 Blood Claws with 3 Power weapons/fists
(depending on who I'm playing) and deep
strike the whole army with drop pods. Then, bring
on the close combat! Oh, and try to stay
more then 12" away from enemys with your blood
claws, and get as close as you can with
your grey hunters. And be sure to give wolf tooth
neclaces to every one you can. (I've seen
a Court of the Young King get wiped out thanks to
them.) As you can see I'm a little obsesed
with HtH. Oh, and if you can't deep strike, get lots
of Rhinos.
Well thats my advice, and it works for me.
Oh, and build some city terain because Space
Wolves SLAUGHTER in city fight! You count
ALL attacks within 6", which makes a squad
of 15 charging Blood Claws EXTREAMLY effective.
Any way, if any one wants to comment or
point out flaws in my strategy, feel free, and I hope
this helps people.

OK.
How do you justifythe fluff on all these
blood claws, or don't you bother?
To me the fluff is important, but I can
see ways of explaining disproportionate amounts of
claws in certain cases. However I personally
don't like power gaming, I'd rather play and lose
than go out of character for my army and
win.
Guess that's just me.

i find that in my SW army its all about
the transports. mounted every singal model in a traspost
save venerable dread (ALWAYS USE AS YOUR
SECOND HQ CHOICE, why just today
i had da killa' take down 3 crisis suits
in one turn. needless to say i won by turn 3, with the
enemy only having 10 gun drones left.)
also if you use bikes hey i guess dont need transports.
anyway, weather you plan on shooting or
assulting, transports are a must. against 'nids, you
probably wan to shoot, so rush to a nice
forest where you can gun 'em all down then strike
first in HtH is need be. if you want to
assult, transports are an obvious must. also, never
discount the effectivness of grey hunters
wih bolters. they can gun down baddies when needed
and make good assult troops. also, its
more fun to make 1 army list for any opponent, not
change it every time (i mean i be we could
all make a list where he 'nids would NEVER get
into HtH). its more fun that way, and it
forces you to adapt...

The army I'm forming is very mobile, with
two squads of Grey Hunters in Rhinos (I'm waiting
for the new Rhino), Long Fangs in a Rhino
(so they can shoot out), Blood Claws on Bikes,
Scouts (who are mobile to begin with),
and the killer: a Wolf Lord with a Wolf Guard
bodyguard in terminator armor in a Crusader.
This is a very points heavy unit, but it has high
mobility, and if you use the Great Wolf,
Logan Grimnar, and the Great Company Banner, you
have 8 terminators (one of which is Logan
himself) who can, once per game, charge with a
minimum of 5 attacks each! (That's 2 (wolf
guard)+1 (Charging)+1 (Logan's Call) +1 (Great
Company Banner). Any unit that survives
40+power weapon/fist attacks on turn one is
someone you should have avoided anyway!

3: HQ Units
4: Troop Units
5: Elite Units
6: Heavy Support Units

8: Weapons & Wargear Overview

12: Army Composition & Suggestions
13: Strategies
14: Down & Dirty Tricks
15: Painting and Converting
16: The Credits

Bolter destroying Infantry while the rest
go Tank-Hunting. Tau firepower is extremly scary
able to rip apart squads with ease so I
have decided to Drop Pod and with my Guard Armies
Callidus assasain going Etheral Hunting.

Sorry to disappoint you my friend, but if
the long fangs are splitting theur fire the Leader
cannot shoot!! Therefore when your bolter/ccw
leader fires he is acting illegally in game terms
if you are splitting fire. It's in the
codex mate!
Other than that not a bad army list, altho'
some will say termies are too expensive, me I like
them and have quite a few myself, have
a look at some army lists on this site:
