What are your favourite builds and what roles do they have in your lists?

I'm looking for ways to get a Wyrdstorm Bro up close to unleash the Living Storm or to electrodisplace. Barebones is 70, Camo Snipers 85. Also Plasma and CC builds seem kinda neat.

In all my years of playing Wolves, from 3rd edition onwards, I never once found the need to buy Wolf Scouts. They've never been a good unit.

So yeah, I don't use them. Want to get your Rune Priest up in someone's gak? Drop pod. It's only 35 points and it can land on an objective if you want. Put in some wolf guard or some Grey Hunters. Vastly superior to Wolf Scouts.

Yeah, unfortunately Wolf Scouts aren't exactly good. They are pricey as 4+ save 1 wound models go and can sometimes infiltrate up and cause damage, but from what I've seen this job can be achieved better by, like whate Griddle said, a drop pod GH or BC squad. However if you're content on scouts, either give them snipers and cloaks and hull down on an objective, or suicide with melta/plasma.

I think half my problem is that the models are so ugly!

I also always forget that non-troop units can score now.

I personally rarely find any use for wolf scouts in my army. They're just not effective for what they should do.

Don't get me wrong I do love slapping in a plasma squad with WGBL and using them to take a few wounds off a high priority target, but I almost guarantee that they'll be wiped out just because they're that damned close.

I have been satisfied with a 5man, snipers with a missile, cloaked.
100pts.

However, just - satisfied.

It *is* something special to see how much firepower they can absorb before finally falling.

Incredible distraction unit, like moths to flame, people just try and try to wipe them... hahaha
