Alright, at my club i use a wolf lord that everybody has come to fear up to the point i just have to put him on the table and my opponents give up, he isn't that bad and I feel that 305 points of awesome is awesome well spent. does anyone else have a character like that? I can give you his equipment if you want

Firstly, telling us what equipment he has would be very beneficial and secondly, he's a Space Wolf. The whole idea behind that codex is 'epic, ultra-expensive characters of doom' so I don't really know why your opponents are that apprehensive about facing him...

Not anymore as I have not yet experimented with my own personal Wolf Lord build out yet.

However, my old Slannesh DP from the old Chaos 3.5 codex was rightfully feared by anyone who had faced him once before.

Personally i use Logan Grimnar but i have tried a kitted out Wolf Lord and they are very hard to stop.
I also tried Wolf Lord on the cheap (MotW, Wolf tooth necklace) and he is also pretty badass.

Please do, I'm curious how you managed to get to 305. More expensive than The Sanguinor is saying something.

Mephiston is hard as nails. I generally have a mini version of him (epistolary with jump pack) rocking up with a sanguinary priest lead assault squad, usually does nasty things to all types of targets!

A Keeper of Secrets... people just don't model the loincloth in the upright position .

The new Archon with shadowfield (2++) is pretty resilient for such a low amount of points - considering all the new wargear, he's way better than the old one.

Id say a warboss with mega armor/cybork. Or cut to the chase and say Thraka on the WAAAGH! Its pretty hard to stop that guy when hes charging.

If people give up when you place one model I think they are over reacting a bit. That being said my best HQ is my geared out Hive Tyrant. He sits at 280 by himself and 515 in my "Command squad". He chews through anything he touches and has never lost a round of CC. A unit with 11-13 T6 wounds and 3 wound groups regenerating can take a lot of pain as well.

Alright off the top of my head;
Wolf lord
Thunderwolf
2 frost axes
Runic armour
wolftooth necklace
wolftooth talisman
Saga of the bear
2 fenrisian wolves

And some other stuff, i can't remember sorry

I'm sorry to say that that doesn't seem that threatening, especially since he can't join any units that aren't thunderwolves, and if he does join a thunderwolf unit you're looking at near half your army in about 4-6 models. They're only about as hard to deal with as Plague marines (arguably a little easier due to no FNP, though they are faster).

I feel that Lysander is just a pain to get rid of. It's just hard to damage him and he kills just about anything in the game (a horde of orks will just take him a long time).

As for my rock hard character: Fuegan. If you don't shoot him with AP1/2 he will not go away, and his tank killing ability is rediculous. Of course, I love fielding any of the Phoenix lords.

Yeah i know he is not that threatening but people at the club seem to disagree

Oh and a wolf lord on a thunderwolf can join fenrisian wolf unit if he wants to

Why do you have two Frost weapons on him? You realize they do not stack the strength modifier, right?

Its because they look cool and i use it to get an extra attack

Why would you take two frost blades? I'm pretty sure the +1 str don't stack. But maybe it does. S7... that is interesting. He has not Inv save, so there is probably also a belt of russ in there somewhere.

... wouldn't say a pistol do the same thing??

I do indeed have a belt of russ
1 i thought-and still do- that they do stack
2 we were doing a tourney where you had to spend 1000 points on 2 troops and a HQ everything was tooled up and i had points spare so he got another frost axe

No, it does not. Look at the CCW part of the core book. It would be great, don't get me wrong! Personally, I typically run my Wolf Lord with a small squad of WG and a Wolf Priest. What an I5 character with 6 strength 5 attacks that reroll can do on the charge is just heartbreaking for the defender....or thanks to counter-attack, also the attacker!

I am thinking of doing the same with 5 grey hunters a wolf lord/battle leader and a wolf preist

Wolf lord
Frost blade
Runic Armour
Thunder wolf
Melta bomb
Wolftooth necklace
Two wolves
Belt of Russ
Saga warrior or Bear
Total 255 (add stuff that would make this worse or do nothing Wolf tail, mark of wulfen and a second frost blade 300pts) (note adding the mark of wulfen means you can't use the frost blade)

I use the armored ork suppository- Ghazgull "Mad Urk" Thraka.

I've been running a list that has this "Command Squad" in it..and its a fantastic assault unit thus far:
Wolf Lord /w
Frost Blade
Bolt Pistol
Runic Armour
Belt of Russ
Melta Bombs
Saga of the Bear

Wolf Priest (perhaps with a wolftooth necklace)
4x Wolf Guard
2x Combi Melta
2x PF
2x PW
2x Storm Bolter (or bolt pistols)

All in a Razorback, so far I've taken out everything from DPs to reduced bloodletter squads /w Skulltaker and Terminator Squads. I however don't fight alot of other high I or MC armies, not sure how it would do against them.

Ah no I'd never use that ugly combination I was just pointing out that 305pts is rather hard to reach without choosing bad options.

*Shrug* Different strokes for different folks. What you call ugly combo I call a squad that's put a local tournament win under my belt.

1. Deciever...?
2. Bloodthirster Tooled up to hell!
3. Chaos Lord with Wings, Mark of Khorne and Bloodfeeder!!! SUICIDEEE!!!!

Guess i can't say that, without backing it up
Cheap Lord____Mid Lord
Storm Bolter___Terminator
Storm Shield___Storm shield
Runic Armour__Thunder hammer
Mark of wulfen_Saga of the Bear
Total 168_____Total 215pts

And If i want better then Logan ...

i have wolf lord with the following:

thunderwolf mount
2 x wolf claws
wolf tooth necklace
belt of russ
saga of the warrior born
a healthy appetite for infantry

DE Archon

Agonizer, Clonefield, Drugz and Soultrap

Not too sure on the rules, but if possible deck him out with Ghostarmor too.

If you're really being generous, give him 3 Sslyths to soak wounds too.


Now that's a monster IC.

Shas'o

Hard Wired, Drone Controller, 2 Shield Drones

Plasma Rifle, Missile Pod, Shield Generator,Stimulant Injector

172 points.

Add Iridium Armor for another 20 if you are running him solo.

He may not win a close combat if there is a pw or PF in in, but if you are looking for a good solo unit to move shoot, and gank anything from small units of basic infantry to a LRBT he's your guy.

with his gear, the mighty dakka flyrant is a lot of fun to duel.
