isn't arjack a bit to many points

i think he is worth the points and with the look out sir and wolf banner hes gonna be a huge thorn in my opponents side

He is not worth 180 points. No way. You could have a squad of long fangs and a lone wolf for that.

arjack with the help of wolf standard and the look out sir can take huge amounts of punishment and also strike back. so i think he ll make back his points and also draw all the fire away from my fangs and razorbacks and possibly will survive .

A 33 point TDAWG under standard is almost as invulnerable as Arjac. And if he dies, you could have five more for the same price.

Play him if if you like him (I definitely do sometimes), but he is not even "semi" competitive.

And also...That invulnerability is for one assault phase only. Choose wisely.

So lets do some math!

Arjack Rockfist gets one S10 shooting attack at range 12 then has a bunch of great close combat attacks. But ALL of those attacks are likely to be against a single enemy unit - which you'll destroy. But it's going to take you a couple turns to walk up there, and it might take two turns to finish the close combat and then another two turns to find another target. So actually, you'll be shooting just about par if he destroys 1 unit.

On the other hand...A squad of long fangs with 4 missile launchers (yes I know you have 3 already) can lay down four S8 AP3 shots every single turn for 6 turns. That's 24 S8 attacks at a range of 48". And if you kill one target, you can find another one instantly.

Meanwhile, we all know that a lone wolf can also put down almost as much hurt as Arjac, but for about 100 points less.

I'm not a fan of razorbacks personally. I'll use one with my long fangs to get my 4x plasma cannons into position. (Plasma Cannons are my guilty pleasure) but other than that I think they get wrecked way too easily for the points cost. If you want mobility drop pods are the answer. I also load my grey hunters to the max. Anyway, just my two cents...
