Space Wolf Synergy Long Fangs Pack

What you get with the Long Fangs Pack
1 Long Fang Pack Leader
1-5 Long Fangs

War Gear
Standard Issue: Bolt Pistol, Close Combat Weapon, Frag and Krak Grenades and Power Armor.
The Long Fang Pack Leader may replace his Bolt Pistol and/or Close Combat Weapon with 1 of the following:
-Flamer: Crispy Critter Time
-Melta-Gun: Extra Crispy
-Plasma-Gun: 24” S-7, AP-2, hard to beat for a static unit
-Plasma Pistol: Ok, I know it is a standard “Sergeant” Weapon, but it is out of place with them unless you are looking to Assault [See “The Logan Gambit” Below]
-Power Weapon: Good Anti-MEQ Weapon
-Power Fist: Good Light Anti-Armor Weapon [Another Good Choice for “The Logan Gambit”]
The Long Fang Pack Leader may take:
-Melta Bombs: Great for “The Logan Gambit”
Each Long Pack member [Not the Pack Leader” Must Replace hit Bolt Pistol with one of the following. [Note: I rearranged the order they are listed to make the points of the reviews]
-Missile Launcher: This seems to be a popular choice that I have seen, and I think they can work well if you don’t know what you will be facing. Other than that it is a Jack-of-Trades, Master-of-None.
-Heavy Bolter: Good Anti-Infantry, it can even make a good Anti-Transport Transport Weapon. A good Option for “The Logan Gambit”
-Plasma Cannon: Great Anti-MEQ, Anti-Swarm, Anti-Light Armor Weapon.
-Multi-Melta: Great Short Range Anti-Tank Weapon. A good Option for “The Logan Gambit”
-Las-Cannon: Long Range Hot Death, a hard to beat Anti-Armor Weapon
Transports: Rhino, Razorback, or Drop Pod.

Special Rules
-And They Shall Know No Fear: Auto Regroup.
-Acute Senses: Bring on the Night
-Counter-Attack: Bring it ON!
-Fire Control [Long Fang Pack Leader Only]: If the Long Fang Pack Leader Does Not Fire, you may Split Fire between Targets.

What you can do with them. They have many different ways of using them.

The 10 Man Pack Options
-Quick and Dirty and cheep: Long Fang Pack Leader and 1-5 Missile Launchers.
-Quick and Dirty not so cheep: Long Fang Pack Leader with a Powered Close Combat Weapon and a Gun Upgrade, and 1-5 Las-Cannons.
-You want Anti-Tank; take Multi-Meltas or Las-Cannons.
-You want Anti-MEQ; take Missile Launchers or Plasma-Cannons
-You want Anti-Swarm: Take Heavy Bolters, Missile Launchers or Plasma-Cannons
If you want to utilize your Fire Control take 2 different Weapons, but not more.
-You want Anti-Tank; take 2-3 Multi-Meltas and 2-3 Las-Cannons.
-You want Anti-MEQ; take 2-3 Missile Launchers and 2-3 Plasma-Cannons
-You want Anti-Swarm: Take 2-3 Heavy Bolters, 2-3 Missile Launchers or 2-3 Plasma-Cannons. Once more don’t take more than two or you will have problems with not having the ability to really concentrate fire.

How do you use [abuse] them?
-Logan: Good with any unit, if you want to put him together with a Powered Armored Squad, just make it a Wolf Guard Pack. 10 of them with no upgrades is less than 200 points.
<Special: “The Logan Gambit:>
-You take Logan and a bunch of Long Fangs armed with Multi-Meltas, put them into a Drop Pod with a Wolf Guard Pack Leader in Terminator Armor and an Cyclone Launcher, [if you use this one take a Storm Shield. So he and Logan can absorb some of the bigger weapons]. Then you use “The High King” to give them relentless. This works well vs. Heavy Armored Units, however lets look at some other ways to set this up.
-Instead of Multi-Meltas, Heavy Bolters. There are a lot of HQ’s that are not heavy Armored like IG, Eldar, DE. Give your Wolf Guard Pack Leader an Assault Cannon, Frost Blade and Melta-Bombs, and the Long Fang Pack Leader a Plasma Pistol, Power Weapon and Melta-Bombs.
-If you are unsure about your opponent, 3 Multi-Meltas, 2 Heavy Bolters and an Assault Cannon. You put the 3 Multi-Meltas into the Command Vehicle and the use Logan’s Storm Bolter, the Heavy Bolters and Assault Cannon on anything soft nearby.
-Make sure that you have at least 2 other Drop Pods land nearby with Dreads and/or more Wolf Guard with Storm Shields to spread out the fire coming your way. Take the Double Flamer Ven Dred and pop smoke the 1st turn.

-Njal: His Saga of Majesty he will keep them in the fight. Put him min his TDA use Tempest Wrath to keep Deep Strikers away. and make use of Fire Control for Living Lighting.
-Ragnar: All the Long Fangs should see is his backside as he charges away from them.
-Björn: while he can’t actually join the unit he is a great distraction for your opponents and with his Saga of Majesty he will keep them in the fight. Putting him next to them with the Plasma-Cannon or TL-LC gives them a really big body guard just incase someone gets to close.
-Wolf Lord: He will not be much use for them unless you put him min Runic Armor and send him with “The Logan Gambit”. Then I would give him Saga of the Bear, a Storm Shield Comb-Plasma, and Melta Bombs, to absorb hits and give some more Anti-Tank Support
-Rune Priest: Put him min his TDA use Tempest Wrath to keep Deep Strikers away. and make use of Fire Control for Living Lighting.
-Wolf Priest: He gives them Fearless. I would not put one with them.
-Wolf Guard Battle Leader: He will not be much use for them unless you put him min Runic Armor and send him with “The Logan Gambit”. Then I would give him Saga of the Bear, a Storm Shield Comb-Plasma, and Melta Bombs, to absorb hits and give some more Anti-Tank Support
-Wolf Guard Pack Leaders: These make the best leaders for them. You can give them Terminator Armor; Storm Bolter, Storm Shield, Melta-Bombs and a Cyclone Missile Launcher. I would have only 2 Missile Launchers in my Long Fang Pack and 3 other Weapons. With fire control you can put 4 Missile into a single target each turn.
-Venerable Dreadnaughts: This may seem like an odd unit, but one with Saga of Majesty and Extra Armor is less than 200 points.
-Fenrisian Wolf Pack: Another seemingly odd choice for here, but they can make a good cover for your. Just place a pack nearby either as cover or as a counter charge option. If something gets close the wolves can tie them up.
-The Land Raiders: This is a good option for an alternative to the Drop Pod “Logan Gambit” or just place the basic one with the added Multi-Melta and you have a great mobile firebase.

Randomly yelling 'space puppies!' aside, very nice tactica. I do not even play them personally, yet I still found this useful, simply to increase my knowledge of what scary things these puppy players are going to attempt to stomp me with.

Go get the stick! cmon boy!

What you can do with them. They have many different ways of using them.

The Drop Pod Options

How do you use [abuse] them?
-Wolf Guard: Load 5 of them up with Comb-Weapons, Power Weapons, Terminator Armor and an Assault Cannon and go nuts. Load 10 of them up with Combi-Weapons, Power Weapons and go nuts. Load up with Storm Shields and yell Bring it on when they try to clear you out.

-Venerable E-Ticket Ride. See “The Logan Gambit” under the Long Fangs.
-Iron Priest: See Björn.

Notes on the Drop Pod Assault:
-If you are going to use Drop Pods you have to use The Drop Pod Assault, don’t use just one or two make it 5+, this way at least 3 will come in the 1st turn and you will not find yourself isolated.
-If your opponent puts his army is reserve to counter your Drop Pod Assault take that opportunity to take ONE objective. Put everything coming in on it. He will then have to spend all of his time trying to get you out of that hole he left. Put the 3+ Drop Pods in a Circle and use them as terrain in your benefit.
-This brings me to the Deathwind: Yes is has only a 12” Range, Yes it has no penetration, but it is a S-5 Large Blast that will on average only scatter 3”. So if you have circled the Drop Pod Wagons you can place 2 of them on any unit coming in. that is a lot of S-5 wounds to save against. If he looses a hand full of models to them he will spend the next turn targeting them not you Packs.

Space Puppies: Doomed if the enemy has scooby snacks.

True, that has become the nick-name of Gretchin

This is what I am looking for
-What is it you don't agree whith I realy want to know.

Sorry for the Necromacy, but Eyclonus just informed me that I had forgot the Iron Priest

Space Wolf Synergy: Iron Priest



This might not look like a Synergy discussion and more like a build discussion, but both are sort of the same. What you are looking for is what this [these] Model[s] does for my unit[s]. one thing to rember about the Iron Priest, his is NOT and Independent Character.

You get 3 things with the Iron Priest
-Iron Priest
-Up to 4 Cyber Wolves
-Up to 3 Servitors

1st the Iron Priest

War Gear
-Runic Armor [Standard]: 2+ [5+ Psychic Save]

-Bolt Pistol or Bolt Gun [Standard]: Go for the Bolt Pistol, if you are close enough to shoot it deservers to be shot and then assaulted, unless you are going with the Gun- Servitors.
-Space Marine Bike: You now have a 12” Storm Bolter and good movement.
-Thunder Wolf Mount: only 10 points more than a SM-Bike, but you gain a 12” Assault, S10 Thunderhammer and Immune to Instant Death.
-Wolf Tooth Necklace: If you plan on Assaulting Allot take this.
-Wolf tail Talisman: 5+ Psychic Save WTF? You already have that.
-Saga of the Iron Wolf: Add 1 to Repair roll and the vehicle you are on moves +1d3” [You now Repair stuff on a 4+]. If you have more than one “Vehicle in you list this can be worth it.

Special Rules
-Battlesmith: Repair Damaged Vehicles on a 5+

The Cyberwolves:
-Vicious Attack Meat-Shields with metal bits. If plan on taking the Thunderwolf Mount or getting into Close Combat take these all 4 of them.

Servitors
-Each one come with a Servo-Arm: +1 to Repair Rolls. [Iron Priest with Saga of the Iron wolf and 3 Servitors gives you a +4 on repair rolls needing only 1+ to succeed.]
-Up to 2 of them may replace their Servo-Arm with a Heavy Bolter/Multi-Melta/Plasma Cannon

What you can do with them
-The Ultimate Pit Crew: Take your Iron Priest with the Saga of the Iron Wolf and 3 Servitors and follow your Vehicles in and keep them running.
-Extra Mini-Long Fang Pack: Take the Iron Priest and 3 Servitors and give two of them there heavy Weapons.
-Give the Iron Priest the Space Marine Bike and Saga .of the Iron Wolf and then motor around the battlefield and fix things.
-Give the Iron Priest a Thunderwolf Mount and prance around the Battlefield Fixing things.
-Take the Thunderwolf Mount, 4 Vicious Attack Meat-Shields with metal bits and Assault like mad. If you don’t want the 12” Fleet Assault, add the 3 Servitors and shove them in a Land Raider Crusader [only 2 Servitors and you can use the Redeemer].

They are one of the units that benefit from Synergy not really give it out.
-Logan: Take the Mini-Long Fang, Pack and use Relentless. Favored Enemy and Assault.
-Njal: Saga of Majesty
-Ragnar: Be Close when he…Waaaag!
-Ulric: Assault Big Things
-Canis: Vicious Attack Meat-Shields with metal bits become Rabid Vicious Attack Meat-Shields with metal bits.
-Björn: Lest run over to him and cast Cure Light Wounds
-Saga of the Wolfkin: See Canis.

Wow pretty nice. I like the way you put things in simple terms . Like this sucks for these reasons lol.
Overall very helpful especially for young blood claws.
Edit: Felt like I had one to many lols..........

great work so far Anpu,

My group normally never plays special characters so the synergy lesson of their various abilities was enlightening.

I would sugest for the next month or so, have everyone play Special Character. They can be real fun.

Ah its here now. Good work again Anpu. Like I said though, consider posting this in Articles where its easier to find/link to and view the individual units.

I have look at the articals and read all of the "How to make an Artical threads and it still makes now sense to me.

Anpu42:

Have you ever consider editing, or spell-checking?

I do, but sometimes [ok a lot] stuff gets past me. This is why I loke proof readers. If I have made an error and you let me know I try to fix it.

You should put in the synergy of Blood Claws and Fen Wolves. I either runBlood Claws with WP in Crusader or on foot with a WP. If they are on foot then I keep a pack of Fen Wolves less than six inches behind them. THis helps the Fen Wolves lack of Survivabiity and helps the Blood Claws not get charged. When the blood claws close into 12" you fleet and charge the Fen Wolves into combat. So the Blood Claws are able to make that devestating charge they are known for.

Woh. Most detailed tactic report I've ever seen. I'm very impressed by your work.
