Hi all,

Here is a list I'm thinking of aiming towards for my next few purchases. I currently only have 2 grey hunter squads.

Wolf Priest, Plasma Pistol, Saga Hunter :125

10 Grey Hunters, Melta Gun, Plasma Gun, Mark of the Wulfen, Power Sword : 185 (wolf priest joins and makes it an outflanking unit)

10 Grey Hunters, 2 plasma guns, Power Axe, Wolf Standard, Rhino : 220

10 Grey Hunters, Flamer, Melta Gun, Power Fist, Wolf standard, Drop Pod : 220

Plan is to have Rhino squad take the middle of the table, drop pod to drop in first turn where needed and take out any armour, and outflanking unit to turn up and flank charge to mop up.

Thoughts please!!!

Put both meltaguns in the same unit, then make the flamer a second plasmagun - it's free!.

The wolf priest doesn't need the plasma pistol. A combi plasma is more cost effective.

Also...in your second GH unit, you should replace the power axe with MotW - it's a better choice.

I'd try to specialize your squads instead of putting mixed weapons in them. For example:

10 Man Grey Hunter, Plasmagun x2 or Meltagun x2

The plasma is a great all around threat and will Vape TEQs and light armor while the melta will deal with the heavy tanks.

In addition, Go with MOTW over the power weapon if you have to choose one, its slightly more in terms of points but 6's rend and you'll get more attacks.

Also, always take the wolf standard, its absolutely epic if used properly due to the sheer number of re-rolls it gives in the round its used.

The PF is nice, since it can't be targeted individually, but it still goes on I1, but may be useful in a melta squad to finish off a tank or to pop an IC in cc.

I would be very carfull about using a single transport, its garunteed to get popped in first or second round and will leave you stranded.

Crap, sorry Grugknuckle, lol, looks like we're on the same channel thought wise

Thanks guys. All good suggestions. I think I'll drop the rhino and have 2xplasma twice and 2xmelta. I'll put priest with a plasma unit as rolling 1's to shoot hurts more for plasma and melta squad can drop pod next to vehicles with power fist. Will try motw over power weapons, will play around with the points and see what I can get.
Question. Do you think you need a standard in the priest unit as they re-roll 1's to hit anyway? I guess it's a nice to have if you have the spare points for the other 1's you can re-roll...

Ok so with a bit of fiddling I now have:

Wolf Priest, Runic Armour, Combi Plasma, Saga Hunter: 140

10 GH, 2x plasma gun, MotW, Wolf Standard: 185

10 GH, 2x plasma gun, MotW, Wolf Standard: 185

10 GH, 2x Melta gun, MotW, Wolf Standard, Power Fist, Drop Pod: 240

This comes to 750. I now have 1 foot slogging dual plasma with nice CC capabilities, 1 drop pod melta powerfist armour killer, and 1 outflank plasma unit with preferred enemy.

I think I like this list and its a great starter army to build on.

Thanks guys.
