Is it just me or is Logan not really worth taking anymore? Save, perhaps, as part of the Champions of Fenris supplement.

Actually I think he is very viable.
Without his Chariot him and a Wolf Guard Terminator Pack out of Stormwolf can inflict a lot of damage.
With his Charaot if properly supported is going to be a beast in close combat and very durable.

I must be missing something I think. The chariot is a liability in close combat. Glance it 3 times and say goodbye to Logan.

Well you need to be able to glance it 6 times, hitting against logans weapon skill to reliably get through the invul, against armor 12. In addition you have to have enough people survive logans attacks to do it.

Very few units can actually do that in CC.

300 points of Logan backed up by two units of T cav and a few podding units......pretty solid.

More easily than you'd think. Saw it happen yesterday...10 DC charged Logan. He swung first, only took out 2 marines. In return, the DC caused 10 wounds...he didn't last one round of combat.

I honestly don't see how Logan is supposedly better now. He lost the high king rule for a start, gained a wound and the chariot is situationally better at best.

Truly, I think a tooled up wolf lord on thunderwolves hits much harder and is.more resilient for less points.

In all fairness, that is on logan for letting himself get stuck in a bad combat for him, that has nothing to do with the chariot. Unless it was a unprecidented charge range, there is no way the chariot should have been caught.

I agree. I walked in to the gw store just before this happened. The DC disembarked from a LRC and then charged Logan...I didn't stay long enough to figure out if the space wolf player was just playing poorly. I think its liked he was.

As a hardcore sw enthusiast, I was pretty devastated to see Logan get owned.
