Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

I love dreads, especially Space Wolves - I have the ancient fell hand arm myself. But I play 1000 point games, so I can't justify Bjorn unless I'm playing more points or it's a giant team game.
That guy, though? I'd take him.

Exactly this.
No, it's not Doc Thunder. However, the GS boob protrusions on the armor are god damn ridiculous looking. From a 'realistic' perspective there's no point to them, since modifications to fit the female torso would be completely internal. From an aesthetic perspective, it looks like someone just stuck mounds on the chest piece.
Sir, we must have a chat. I don't know if I can afford you, but those are goddamn sexy, and I would like to see about a quote. I have to say I am always jealous of people with this kind of talent.
1 word snikrot ya hes that awsome
It doesn't have to; Frost weapons are Special Close Combat Weapons, therefore only one of them can be used at a time, excepting that you get an extra attack w/a pistol or whatever.
E: Or maybe not. Hm, p.42 is not nearly as clear as it could be.

For frost blades, it is literally "A power weapon that adds +1 to the users strength."
sounds like he gets the +1 strength just for having it.
Sidenote: I think weapons that alter your statline only do so while they're actively being used. So for non-CC purposes I think his strength would be just 4(5 with thunderwolf).
Yep. I think the one and only exception to this are Tyranids.
Hidden power fists for the win!
Next time I'm asking what's being proxied before charging.
Details, details! Sure the Nob will put a wound on him each round, but he'll be tarpitting the unit good. Mostly the idea of watching 29 Orks desperately scrabble at something they can't hurt amuses me.
Once, he killed two guys, and the guard player fudged two leadership rolls in a row. I drove 20 guardsmen right off the table.
My favorite is throwing a damaged psyker battle squad at an attack bike, and watch as it desperately tries to kill them fast enough, and finally falls.
If that happens though, those orks are just asking for it. I consider Powerklaws mandatory.
Also, I wrote up a new 2k list for muh Orks if anyone's interested to look at it, but I gotta find it first...
prz shazre!!!

After the first turn though, it was pretty much meatgrinder time. Given, had he landed maybe 2-3 more wounds per round of shooting it could have easily gone his way. The highlite was my wolf priest single handedly charging and winning against 10 fire warriors then surviving a 15~ shot volley the next turn.
Also, in my first game, I went up against Chaos marines. It was an interesting tale if you want to read quickly:
This is the result:
Turns 1 & 2 Chaos berzerkers killed ALL 19 OF MY GREY HUNTERS AND WOLF PRIEST.
Lone wolf proceeds to kill the remaining 3 berzerkers. Same turn 5 plague marines disembark a rhino.
Lone wolf is literally surrounded by 5 plague marines.
Lone wolf is flamered, then shot 4 times by pistol. lives.
Lone wolf is assaulted. Dealt one wound, kills one plague marine. draw.
Lone wolf lasts TWO MORE TURNS of close combat (four assault phases!) before the game is finally called on turn 7 with him alive and surrounded by 3 plague marines, one of which has a power fist. He killed one more plague marine without receiving any more wounds.
Holy crap was that awesome and at the same time completely demoralizing. I thought I'd do better but as it turns out, my lone wolf killed more models than 19 grey hunters could. The SS and wulfen make these units completely awesome at tying down units. Not to mention he gets to re-roll hit on models with T5 which the plague marines were. All in all, I learned that I need to get RHINOs.
Skyclaws are way more fun than I gave them credit for.
Oh and don't ask nax about his sniper scouts. I think he wants to sell them now, if he hasn't purged them with fire yet
"Look at that subtle off-white coloring, the tasteful thickness of it... Oh my God, it even has a watermark."
And yeah, I rolled pretty terribly all night
He ate me in CC because I just couldn't kill enough as they approached, because I was rolling far below average. But, at the end, there were some intense moments, and it was a lot of fun
Don't worry, in larger serious games, all Fire Warriors will more than likely have a fish
Line up your men, randomly select one. Place him front and center. SMASH HIM!! The others will NOW obey you and NOT fail another mission!!
