pretre Posted February 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 That's actually not a bad allied detachment. You can get a pack of TWC and Wolf Lord on TWC that can run and charge and a drop pod full of GH with reroll 1's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestRider Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Yeah, that DeathPack is pretty nice. I think I might use it in a few places where I previously would have done the CotGW thing with a Lord and a pair of Iron Priests. Doesn't replace it for all purposes (only one can Join another Detachment's DeathStar), but it's still a nice way to slot in some extra mobility and counter-Assault for a list that's lacking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingpin Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Where can I find the Deathpack rules? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Where can I find the Deathpack rules? It's in the Start Collecting SW Box. They all have a Formation in them for the Units they contain, so you've got a small Battleforged Army right out of the box. Some of them are also good enough to use outside of starter Games.

Threejacks Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Humm,,now I'm really tempted to get that starter box. Would that be a good one to run with the Blackmanes?..seems so to me with a blob of 6 TWC + a WL crossing the board turn one.And in this case if I podded the GH`s,that would be the only pod outside of the Blackmanes so it would drop turn one too,,but no reroll 1`s for them of course. Speaking of rerolling ones to hit,once again,very AoS`y...and I like it:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pretre Posted February 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Ugh, 3 units of Terminators. Cool fluffy formation though. I guess it would basically be a whole army though since you need transports for your units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted February 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Hmm. If you have a murderpack on the table, it affects all rolls on the table, not just ones for them. So if you took a murderpack and a daggerfist, he daggerfist wulfen would give the bonus too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pretre Posted February 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 The daggerfist either ends up being expensive (transports) or very unsupported. Uck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestRider Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 No, I'm just saying that the fact that it's a StormFang is an additional tax compared to if it made me spend the same Points on, say, a StormWolf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't even catch that. I just assumed it was a wolf and not a fang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 I think only one of the Formations with a SW Flyer uses the StormWolf. They almost all require the StormFang. That's why I was considering getting that one off you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted February 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 That's probably why I don't field any of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestRider Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 I'm checking for differences between old and new now. Harald is 5 pts more expensive. That's kinda weird, since he's not in the Campaign book, so there's no indication for those of us with the hardcopy of the Dex that he's changed. Unless the (gasp!) update the FAQ.

pretre Posted February 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Okay, so neat trick with the new wolves. The Counter-Charge ability was, I thought, only useful if someone charged one of your units, but no. "Counter-Charge: At the end of your opponent's Charge sub-phase, you can declare a charge with any unengaged units from this detachment, so long as each enemy unit you attempt to charge is locked in combat with another unit from this detachment. Any units that do so count as charging for all rules purposes." So... Turn 2, you charge an enemy unit with one of your units from that detachment. You also drop some drop pods full of blood claws around that unit. Your opponent's turn comes up and he does not kill those drop pods full of blood claws. They all charge into the combat since a unit from that detachment is locked in CC. Neato. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted February 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Deep strike says 'In that turn's assault phase...' Turn, whenever it doesn't specify, means player turn. Muhahaha 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
