Happy New Year everyone

So on the 13th i will be going to Warhammer World to play some doubles games with my mates

We are all very new to 8th but at least they have played some games, i haven't played in 8th at all!

So my team mate is going to be using guard and is basically making a gunline to sit at the back of the board, so i guess it will be my job to bring the pain to the enemies side of the table or sitting back with him as a body guard, what do you think is best?

as for the list, this is what i'm looking at

50 PL
Patrol Detachment

HQ

14 PL- Bjorn (Assault canon, heavy flamer) (warlord, tenacious survivor)


TROOPS

11PL- 10xGrey Hunters (1xplasma)


ELITES

8PL- Venerable Dreadnought (Fenrisian Great Axe and Blizzard Shield)


FAST ATTACK

9PL- 10x Skyclaw

HEAVY SUPPORT

8PL- 5xLong Fangs (4x Missle Launcher) or Pred (2xlascanons)

My plan is to either sit back with his gunline or use my 2 command points to outflank the two dreads.
What do you think?

Hmm well if you do come across a flyer the rocket launchers could be of use.

Given it power levels you likely could gave your various Sgt and such power weapons, and any other bonus you like.

Or even maybe a quad lass pred.

Hey mate,

just to remind you. Dreds cannot outflanking. You can use this strategem with CA on Space Wolves Infantry only.

I would consider Bjorn, upgraded to twin las.

Add a second plasma and a power fist into grey hunters.

Change the ven dread either to a shooting unit or another unit of hunters. I would consider a Twin Las/Twin Auto dread.

Skyclaws are not amazing but you can outflank them and do some damage - 10 with a Thunder Hammer or similar and two melta guns can work - melta over plasma as I imagine people may abuse multi wound models at lower points.

Long Fangs with 5 missiles work too and be sure to add in the pack leader with a flamer or similar and a thunder hammer or fist - who knows?
