I could see why someone affected by a unbalanced army would describe an army in derogatory terms. I would personally not mind since I know I wasn't beaten by skill or a army I had no chance against that was also a solid competitior. If the army is balanced and spanks my army than I might think it was time to go back to the drawing board.

My solution to codex creep and the evolving metagame(which I don't mind and I think it only a potential problem for those seeking to be competitive but who do not have the time or money to build new armies) is a highlander format where basically you can only have one of a unit or two of any troop choice. There would have to be some amendments for people like Necrons but it could easily be done. Also his format would not replace the standard but be an alternate format for people to play who want to compete but aren't interested in making the scene.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260515/1035900.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260515/1035900.page GMT Rune Priest Heavy 1850 Drop Podding Space Wolves There are 7 Pods with 4 of them arriving at first turn.
I guess you let the RP's land early in the game to decimate the enemy quickly.

To be honest, it really just seems like you put as much JOTWW and melta as you could into the list, and called it a day.

That said, looks solid. Enjoy.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260515/1035934.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260515/1035934.page GMT Rune Priest Heavy 1850 Drop Podding Space Wolves http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260515/1035940.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260515/1035940.page GMT Rune Priest Heavy 1850 Drop Podding Space Wolves RP cant go with the grey hunters as the drop pod is too small which i think you will get 4 world wolves then everything in the army is comming down on ya, which could suck, i also think you need to mix up some flamers n stuffs but thats my personal opinion with ork armies being demolished by jotww flamers are like icing on the cake. But a great list over all in my opinion. Flying circus is done with the movement restrictions, Murderous hurricane kills units lol the grey hunters can out do vulkan marines so ya solid list bro

That said, I agree with you. This list is definitely way, way light on crowd control. Some flamers will be a huge asset to you, OP, even if they're only combi-weapons. I'd put at least one in each WG unit and maybe one in a couple of the GH units.

Other than that, it looks okay-ish. With the flamer additions, you're going to massacre the hell out of Tau, Tyranids, and Orks, but you're probably going to eat it against heavily mechanized armies. I'd certainly like to give the list a try, but I think you might need some high-strength ranged firepower to make this thing work.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260515/1040778.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260515/1040778.page GMT Rune Priest Heavy 1850 Drop Podding Space Wolves WG unit and give each one a heavy flamer. I believe you will enjoy the extra power vs hordes. Also these are much better that combi-meltas in the long run with drop pods.

I like your list. When I finish building my Wolves I'll give it a try around here and post my luck.

Must agree with those above. Drop one Combi Melta in each WG unit and give each one a heavy flamer. I believe you will enjoy the extra power vs hordes. Also these are much better that combi-meltas in the long run with drop pods.

I'd make the list a bit more flexible for tournament play.
Flamers are a must-have vs Orks and Bugs, and plasma guns are good vs Termies and Big Bugs.

Plus, your priests pretty much all have to drop with small wolf guard units, meaning they will probably die relatively quickly in the return fire.

EDIT:

Those are termies!!! Hmm...if you were doing chaos termicide, you'd want min squads, and a flamer or chainfist. You need to rethink the terminators, they at least need a fist or something if you keep them.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260515/1042953.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260515/1042953.page GMT Rune Priest Heavy 1850 Drop Podding Space Wolves WG you could squeeze in a Dread in a Drop pod.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260515/1043158.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260515/1043158.page GMT Rune Priest Heavy 1850 Drop Podding Space Wolves

Did you even realise how stupid that statement was when you typed it out? "Hey guy, if you give up two good things, you can get one terrible thing!"

And as for crowd control? Seriously guys?! It's a little thing called bolters, and storm bolters, combine this with the fact that space wolves are great in close combat.... and flamers are worthless. I'm pretty sure that deepstriking down and getting 46 bolter/combi bolter shots turn one from the 3 WG squads and one GH squad that drop =15 dead orks, combined with however many jaws of the world wolf kills, and then 64 bolter/combi bolter shots from the 3 GH squads that drop turn two or later= 18 dead orks.... so just to clarify, against horde orks, that's 33 dead models just from deepstriking units. Now... lets combine that with the fact that I can choose to drop on one side of the horde, so that the ork player can't bring his entire horde to bear.... and seeing as how horde players tend to get around 3 turns in tournie games.... I don't think I'll have a problem beating hordes.

Where this list has to worry is against mech lists, which is where all the drop podding melta weapons come in. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260515/1074590.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260515/1074590.page GMT Re:Rune Priest Heavy 1850 Drop Podding Space Wolves
Also just try this out sometime.. Don't make it a perma switch if you don't like it, but consider living lightning on all your priests instead of jaws. You'll probably find jaws to be highly over rated at best. You'd be getting 4d6 s7 shots with unlimited range. Which is pretty nice for an army that has zero mobility or range after it drops. That would maul most light transports in a hurry.

Otherwise looks like a solid start.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260515/1074614.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260515/1074614.page GMT Rune Priest Heavy 1850 Drop Podding Space Wolves

Well it certainly would solve both of those issues.... however if you're a shooty player who wants an increase in armor save, and some survivability in CC, I'd go with basic marines or necrons when the new book comes out. Space wolves "best" choice is in drop pods apparantly, and drop pods means a lot less shooting and a lot more close combat. So it might dramatically differ from your preferred play style. Space wolves unfortunatly have a pretty steep money investment due to the cost of the drop pods.... vanilla foot sloggin marines or necrons would most likely be cheaper]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260515/1076466.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260515/1076466.page GMT Rune Priest Heavy 1850 Drop Podding Space Wolves
JotWW isn't worth taking four times. Mundar's suggestion of Living Lightning is better or Murderous Hurricane. TDA won't hurt either, if you can find the points for it.

Combi-Melta IMO don't get the job completely done. Add one or two chainfists to the termie squads. With my pod list I kill more vehicles in assault than with shooting.

Change out the meltas in one GH for plasma. This squad you drop on the objective outside of the main fighting. Plasma's range will help them contribute.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260515/1076567.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260515/1076567.page GMT Re:Rune Priest Heavy 1850 Drop Podding Space Wolves http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260515/1076957.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260515/1076957.page GMT Re:Rune Priest Heavy 1850 Drop Podding Space Wolves
I would take a couple Living Lightning Priests. Decent at dropping speeders or other light vehicles, which melta has trouble getting close to (Or you don't want to waste it on).

I would drop the power-weapons and take fists. In my experience thus far with the dex, MOW is unreliable for rends but decent at horde. With 3 attacks each on the counter + MOW you usually dish out enough against light/medium armored opponents. However, high armor/Toughness HTH (or dreads) will prove difficult. I would opt fists.

Another thought to consider, is something I do in my all foot wolf list. I take a WG Term leader in each squad with dual fists. He clocks in at 53 (But hell a regular joe with PF is 40 I think?). The plus however, is when something charges my unit I get a counter attack roll on Ld. 9 instead of 8...and they get 4 power fists to the face from that guy. Plus, when the squad starts dissolving you are still left with a dual fist terminator running around end game

. Of course, I do this on foot...so I have a squad of 11 without sacrificing a special. I'm not sure if it would be worth giving up a special and 2 guys to fit him in a pod. Worth testing at the least!

Good luck in your games and make sure to post results, as I would be interested in hearing how this plays out.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260515/1077190.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260515/1077190.page GMT Re:Rune Priest Heavy 1850 Drop Podding Space Wolves
