Lone Wolves- please someone confirm they do not take up a FOC slot for each GH, BC, WG unit you include- of everything, that at least would make my day.

Also, what are upgrade costs for a Lone Wolf, how much for terminator armor and storm shield?

Drop pods are open topped, which means they are assault vehicles. There is a rule that prevents you from assaulting when coming out of reserves. Otherwise TDA and daemons would be popping up all over and walking into combat with no issues.

Really want to know the price:

1) relics
3) Arjac can be added to 10 unit or to 9 unit of WG in TDA.
4) special wargear for characters - prices & special rules

hehehe, you puppy, I wnna to fight with you

How much cost runic armour and tda for characters? Can RP take tda or runic armour? Can priest take stor shield?

Don't think this one's been asked: who can take Relics? (Specifically looking at the Iron Priest here )

Confirmed Lone Wolves are one for each Troops choice you take and one for each unit of wolf guard (either type) in your army.

The do not take up a FOC slot anymore, and they no longer give up points if they dont get killed.

CRAP! I need to make more Lone Wolves!

Also - drop pods are a fast attack choice.

Commence salivating....

Lone Wolves in Terminator Armor in Pods with Wolf Claws and Thunder Hammers are GO!

Drop Pods compete with Thunderwolves.

True, but I don't always field my Thunder Wolves so I am not that concerned about it.
I just wish I could put all of my Lone Wolves in the same pod.

Also, I dont think anyone has mentioned this yet, but wolf claws are different now and not just the higher cost.

They are essentially frost weapons now, giving +1S as well as AP3 and shred. Stick 2 of those on your TWC with 4 attacks base for a nice 5 S6, AP3 attacks with rending and shred...

Are they still Specialist Weapons:

Yes.

Whoops... there doesn't seem to be anything here.

Does Ragnar still grant his unit +d3 attacks on the charge? If so, it opens the door for more GH addition: Player rolls a 5 or 6 on the d3, Grey Hunters get +3 attacks on the charge. 1 attack base, +1 for 2 cc weapons, +1 for Wolf Standard, +3 for charge. 6 attacks each x10 = 60 attacks and a pile of dead stuff.

Oh... oh wow, oh man this is so cool. So we could like, double up on MSU. Bring a bunch of 5 man GH squads in pods with a specialist and combi weapon. Then for each one, have a TDA wolf guard deep strike in off the pods locator beacon the next turn.

Holy jeebus awesome!

Unfortunately no, but he DOES give them furious charge so those attacks would be at S5.

So let me get this straight (my head is spinning a little right now)...there is the potential for using 9 Lone Wolves now? 3 from Elites and 6 from Troops?

Boom...mind-blown!

Aww. That was my favorite combo in 5th edition. Do you think Ragnar is worth taking over a generic Wolf Lord?

Rune Priest Question:

Are the Runic Weapons just a generic Force Weapon or can you get different type, like Rune Axe or Rune Sword?

Yep, 9 lone wolves is possible, or just go unbound and make a list of nothing but. :-)

I never ran ragnar, but I think he is pretty good. for the points.

He can reroll one failed save per turn, gets furious charge to him and his unit, gets rage and saga of the warrior born with a master crafted frost sword with rending.

Only downside is he must issue or accept challenges.

Death to the false Emperors War Mutts!

What would be the cost of a Lone Wolf with TDA, Stormshield and Powerfist?

Not a valid config actually. You can have a storm shield but you can only pair it with combiweapon, wolf claw or thunderhammer.

that config with combi is 55, with wolf claw is 65, with thunder hammer is 75.

Is it true that only one GH unit can take a Wolf Standard?

What about Power Armor, Storm Shield and Power/Frost Weapon?

That was confirmed pages ago.
