    Mazzyx, that sounds like a fun game. I love big battles regardless of tactics. I have been known to charge shit just for the sake of charging it. Abaddon and 5 terminators? Fuck it! Let's do this! I usually do a lot better than I expect.

    Stragint, i didn't use that wolf cape for a reason. It's cool and all, but damn is it huge and it makes them look like a special character. Not a bad thing, I just didn't need one.

    Also, Matrias is going to take ALL OF MY MONIES.

    The Dread is out the door! Heavy weapons deal pending. If I can ditch the assault marines and land speeders, I'll consider this a win. So far nobody's placed a large enough order to earn a handy-jay.

    Yeah, well the Medic is meant to basically replace the HQ as a badass in this game. I had to open it up to troops choices though. Fast attack is mandatory, but a few are playing Land Speeders and Vendettas. So they had no choice.

    I would have a chaos spawn as my medic. Due to it being hilarious. Super tough, random attacks, high strength, slow and purposeful hit and run beast with feel no pain. It wouldn't really do anything but not die.

    Well, we had a very... interesting event last night. A tournament where you bring one model and kit it out as much as you can, no limit. Not having much to go on, I brought a Ravager, though I think I could've proxied Vect, Drazhar, and Lylyth easily. OH WELL.

    The highlight was the final 7 on 7 team match. My team consisted of two Swarm Lords, Abaddon, Gaghzkull, a GK Librarian, my Ravager, and a Stormraven.

    Their team was chock full of psykers: Fateweaver, Eldrad, Zogwort, a Lone Wolf with hammer and storm shield, a GK Venerable Dread, and two Marneus Calgars, who were always together, always rolled the same result for running, and were just a fabulous pair of twins.

    So.... thinking of starting this back up. When I last played it was mostly about assassins with polymorphine and vortex grenades going after term armour chaos lords with mark of khrone and demonblades.

    Any idea when a new eldar codex and models come out? Is that list any good still? And what sort of damage to my wallet is this going to do to get in about 4000 points + apoc models.

    Thanks!

    You've got a model that's pretty close to Lukas. He's the metal captain in a cape with two wolf claws. You can proxy him, or even take off a claw. He's definately got lukas's head and backpack.

    Keep in mind I live in downtown Toronto. That's in Canada. I'm probably farther north than you if you're in the US.

    We're going through a heatwave right now so it was pushing 50°C with humidex today But it was 'actually' only 37°. We normally get temps in the mid 30's (low 40's with humidex) in the summer.

    Sounds like the summer we just went through. Our flat was hitting the high 40's for about 2 weeks. Almost suffocatingly hot. That weather absolutely sucks, you never have energy to do anything other than sit there and wish it wasn't so fucking hot.

    I hope I can finally win a game with my Space Wolves tomorrow.

    I think one of the things I have the most issues with are trying to decide where to drop my drop pod on turn one. I gotta figure my tactics out.

    Alright, so I have read some stuff on Space Wolves and realized some things that never occurred to me and I'd really like to find a way to abuse the Wolf Standard with a Wolf Lord and/or Arjack, I just run into the problem of not being able to transport Arjack with the Grey Hunters and unless I put the Wolf Lord in Runic Armour, I'll have the same problem. So, should I just run the Wolf Lord in Runic Armour and have Arjack ride in a Land Raider Redeemer with five other Wolf Guard so I can have an easier time getting him into a Grey Hunter pack?

    I'm goofing off with a list right now but so far it isn't looking to spiffy. I might drop my Long Fang packs from two to one though I really don't want to.

    Uh. Don't put Arjac with Grey Hunters. Leave him with terminators. He's not an IC so transporting him to a Grey Hunter squad isn't gonna do anything. He can be a wolf guard pack leader, but that's dumb. Leave him with terminators, let him rock that shit. He's better than almost any IC in the game. Lysander? Not as good as Arjac. Keep that in mind.

    Also I've said it before, but I'll say it again: Long Fangs are a crutch. Open up that heavy support slot, or use your FA options instead.

    Man. Not that I can give advice. I just did a BoLs Battle report against JWolf, possibly the best 40k player in the universe, and if you disagree you're just an idiot that doesn't know shit about shit. : ) (Seriously, the man is a fucking Warhams god. He's so fun to play against though, and in Austin, I've got a 0-1-2 record against him.)

    I drew him for the battle report, so I decided to play for the Lulz. But you can't even tell. I just get straight up tabled. I shit you not, we rolled to turn 7. I had a single Loota left on the board. 1. Loota.

    I don't know, so far everyone I've played against has been very vehicle heavy which makes me feel like I need the Long Fangs.

    My lists always look the same at 2000 points, three Grey Hunter packs with Rhinos, two Long Fang packs, a Wolf Guard pack with 4/5 Terminators and 3 Wolf Guard in Power Armour to go with the Grey Hunters. I want to use Thunderwolves but all the stuff I already run feels essential.

    This is what I'm looking at right now. I'm not feeling the Terminators, I might try to mess with them a little.
