pretre Posted August 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Confirmed Lone Wolves are one for each Troops choice you take and one for each unit of wolf guard (either type) in your army.The do not take up a FOC slot anymore, and they no longer give up points if they dont get killed.

WestRider Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Definitely going to have to be fitting at least a couple of those in, too. Excellent call on moving them outside the FOC like that, every time I've tried to write up a list that really made use of them, I ran out of Elites Slots way too fast.

pretre Posted August 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 I think they may have really fixed the Elite slot bloat that we had before. Free Lone Wolves and WGPL added to squads helps a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted August 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Supposedly SW can deep strike in TDA now, so you could take Lone Wolves and deep strike them in front of people for funsies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Yeah, that's what I was really thinking of doing. Half a dozen DS Lone Wolves and half a dozen or so Pods, with some mix of Dreads, Grey Hunters, and Wolf Guard. Maybe start some TWC and Fenwolves on the ground, just get everything up in their face as fast as possible. I'm really starting to like that approach, after 17 years of playing almost exclusively shooty :D 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted August 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Yeah, I'm totally on the same page as you on that one. A mix of pods for GH, Pods for SOB, TWC and maybe a chariot and I'd love it. Maybe I'll proxy some once I get the codex. I have soda cans. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted August 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Preorders are coming up on the site. Grimnar is $59. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted August 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 I think I'll get the eBook of the supplement and Grimnar. There goes another $92. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted August 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 OMG. Dat 360 view is great for Grimnar.The harnesses look to be addons, so you could totally change it up and reuse them as TWC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted August 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 I almost want to buy two of those, sell the grimnar out of one, and use the rest of the bits to make the longboat enclosed and longer and use the TWC for TWC instead.

Brother Glacius Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Do you have someone close by that can call 911 just in case the codex doesn't live up to your expectations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intrizic Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 a note on TWC:I've modeled the rider off the wolf and removeable from the base, that way you can change up the load out on the TWC by using regular GH and such, plus it looks rather cinematic. Nothing is painted of course :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted August 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Do you have someone close by that can call 911 just in case the codex doesn't live up to your expectations? lol I've already seen pretty much all of it, so my expectations are pretty close to reality. But yeah, I'm sure my wife can call for me. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayne_Cobbb Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Ugggg. The format sucks. The army lists and options are in the "fluff" section. So one entry a page when writing lists. Special rule on the points cost page though, so that is ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted August 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 That's the new format. Orks was like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 I almost want to buy two of those, sell the grimnar out of one, and use the rest of the bits to make the longboat enclosed and longer and use the TWC for TWC instead. Right now for me, I'm thinking buy one and another box of TWC, swap two of the Wolves from the TWC in to pull the Chariot, and use the Wolves from the Chariot to add extra variety to my TWC. Pretty sure I'm going to want more TWC anyhow, and at the very least I want to make an Iron Priest on TW to add in there. Or maybe just do the swap with Goats that I was thinking of and not bother with another box of TWC just yet. @Jayne_Cobb: There was a rumour going around that regular Wolf Lords could get a Chariot like that, too. Is that so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestRider Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 No, no chariot for Lords. Bummer. I was looking forward to doing up a bunch of those for different Norse Gods. Maybe next Dex. Time to start looking for goat toys about the same size as ThunderWolves, I guess. I really do want to do that Thor version. I figure if he's got a Thunder Hammer and a Frost Blade modeled, that will sort of approximate the profiles Logan can get from his Axe, and well, since it's on the Chariot, there's no one else it can be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
