Long Fangs In Drop pods? Hmm
Feels risky to me
What is your plan with them? Drop them In late?
That's a lot of shooting wasted

Lol, dont worry, its not to drop them in. Its to make it so I can drop all 3 GH drop pods on the first turn. The 2 LF ones will drop empty.

I sort of feel like there are not enough bodies. In theory I like the idea of grav bikes and SW pods, but in practice I'm not sure if it will work. Played any games with it yet?

Haven't tried the list yet, I was actually hoping to get opinions before I start investing money into white scars allies. Do you think I should keep Khan, or drop him for a captain? IIRC Khan's ability to give scout only applies if he's your warlord. And should I bother with a stormtalon, or get an aegis with quad gun? Finally, should I put a Jaws RP on a bike with the bikes?

Keep the storm talon, it is a surprisingly great model and I would recommend just giving a priest a bike and runic armor, it just seems like some good old fashion fun. I have yet to use it in a game, but I have always liked the idea

A mobile JOTWW is never a bad thing

I'm liking this Jaws RP bike idea, so I'll have to work it in. And after checking, I realized I need to hold onto Khan with Moondrakken to make the bikes count as troops. Any other opinions on the list?

Watch out if you're trying to attach a Rune Priest to a Scars bike squad. I ran this before only to find out that he can be Focus Fired out of the squad :/

If the RP is part of the squad he shouldn't have been under normal circumstances?
Correct me if I'm wrong but you may have been played my friend

Hmmm, that doesn't seem right. SW and SM are battle brothers, so they can have IC join each other's squads. I used to run Njal in a IG blob squad. The only thing that can target him would be precision shots or a challenge. Focus Fire IIRC is about electing to shoot at part of a squad that is out of cover. The models behind cover are ignored, but all the available shots are taken against the models in the open.

Focus Fire singles out saves. So if all the White Scars have skilled rider and the Wolf doesnt, then they are using a Jink save of 4+ vs the RP's Jink save of 5+. Thus, he can be singled out.

Well White Scars do not like Space Wolves so I don't see them working together short of a Black Crusade landing on Terra (but who gives a crap about fluff anymore)
. Other than that, drop the LF drop pods and beef up your Scars bike squads.

Yeah, I remember reading somewhere that the White Scars hated being compared to the savage barbarian shenanigans of SW. WS are more honorable barbarians with their own code of honor. But I figure that this would make for a fun list, and I've always wanted to have some bikers. How would you recommend running the bikers?
