So came up with a list, hoping to be competitive. Took a lot of shuffling to make it all fit. The idea was an alpha strike style list with a way to distract the opponent from the
TWC and also to add a much needed defense to them (
FnP from the Priest)
I'm going to combine the armies here for easier reading. I'm currently in-between a
SW/
BA list or a
SW/
GK list. This is the
BA version
1850 Company of the Great Wolf / Baal Strike Force

Wolf Lord on Wolf / Runic armor,
SS, Kraken Sword, (225)
Sanguinary Priest / Jump Pack (75)

CS, 1x

PF (285)
1x Thunderwolf Leader /
SS-
CS
Some further shuffling can be made to pump the
TWC up to 6 man but they will be toting less
SS. I know some are having great success with 2ish
SS per
TWC group but lots of eggs are in this basket so I'm not totally sure.
Tactics are to screen up and create as much noise as possible to take focus off of the
TWC, and to soften up whatever lies ahead. Scouts are so cheap and great objective campers I couldn't say no. I needed 2 troop choices to field the Baal Attachment; and,
TAC Marines vs
GH, the
GH just looked better on all fronts except they can't combat squad.
Let me know, all comments welcome.
Here's the
GK version :
