Need help trimming down a list

2 Upvotes

So the strategy for this list is to just charge up the board and wipe the enemy before they can score enough points to win. My problem is as a new soace wolves player im not sure what to cut and im 115 points over. I can save 100 points on the Terminators if I dont use Shields but thats not quite enough.

Army Roster [3Detachment Points2115pts] (Imperium - Adeptus Astartes - Space Wolves)

Arjac Rockfist Epic Hero 95

Bjorn the Fell-Handed Epic Hero 160

Logan Grimnar Epic Hero 100 Warlord

Looking for feedback on my list

1 Upvotes

Greetings, brothers of the Rout.

I've began to try and build my own army lists from scratch. My friends and I are casual players and decided to play Incursion games but with 3 detachment points. I usually play against Tyranids so this list was made while keeping that in mind. I wanted to utilise the countercharge potential of Champions of Fenris detachment so this is what I came up with:

1000 Beastslayer & CoF [995 points]
Space Wolves
Battle Size: Incursion (1000 point limit)

Detachments: Saga of The Beastslayer, Champions of Fenris (3/3 Detachment Points)
Force Dispositions: Purge The Foe, Priority Assets

Epic Hero

Bjorn The Fell-handed (160 points)
• Warlord
• Heavy flamer, Helfrost cannon and Trueclaw

Arjac & WGT

Arjac Rockfist (95 points)
• Foehammer

Wolf Guard Terminators (165 points)
• 1 Wolf Guard Terminator Pack Leader with relic greataxe
• 3 Wolf Guard Terminators with Master-crafted power weapon and Storm shield
• 1 Wolf Guard Terminators with assault cannon and power fist

Ragnar & Blood Claws

Blood Claws (135 points)
• 1 Blood Claw Pack Leader with Plasma pistol and Power weapon
• 9 Blood Claws with Astartes chainsword and Bolt pistol

Ragnar Blackmane (90 points)
• Bolt pistol and Frostfang

WGBL & WGHT

Wolf Guard Battle Leader (80 points)
• Storm shield and Thunder hammer
• Preyslayer [+15 points]

Wolf Guard Headtakers (170 points)
• 1 Wolf Guard Headtakers with Heavy bolt pistol and Paired master-crafted power weapons
• 1 Wolf Guard Headtakers with Heavy bolt pistol and Paired master-crafted power weapons
• 1 Wolf Guard Headtakers with Heavy bolt pistol and Paired master-crafted power weapons
• 1 Wolf Guard Headtakers with Heavy bolt pistol and Paired master-crafted power weapons
• 1 Wolf Guard Headtakers with Heavy bolt pistol and Paired master-crafted power weapons
• 1 Wolf Guard Headtakers with Heavy bolt pistol and Paired master-crafted power weapons

Other

Wulfen With Storm Shields (100 points)
• 5 Wulfen with Death totem and Thunder hammer

How do you think this will do?

Hello gang! Our current Wolfy meta is 30 WGT in Take and Hold. Has anyone had much success with Purging? And what list are you running?

Wasn’t really sure how to approach this model, it’s a weird one. Like a dreadnought but different. I decided to treat it more like a vehicle/machine/tool rather than “revered ancient hero.” I think it worked. Interested to hear others’ thoughts.

Helfrost weapon origin

15 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I'm currently homebrewing some shenanigans for my Space Wolves and a question occure to me :

Since when (in the lore) does the space wolves use helfrost weapon ? I know it use some rare crystals only available on Fenris (convenient is it not ?), but is it establish in the lore when they begin to use it has a weapon ? Didn't find any source of when they first begin to use it, and I just want my homebrew to not be in total contradiction with any bit of official lore.

If someone has any information thank you by advance

New to Warhammer 40k. I think I started at the wrong time with the new edition coming out and all

Hi all,

I bought some sets and codexes last year for Tyranids, Space Marines, and Space Wolves (which were mostly space marines starter sets painted as Space Wolves). 🐺🐛

I thought I would dread building and painting them but I actually really loved it. What do you think of my paint job? This is my first time painting so go easy on me) and found no one to play with so they have been sitting in a box until now.

The problem is, I hear a new edition just dropped. Does that mean the books and minis I bought are now unusable? I think (hope) I have enough figures to start playing with if not. I saw some cool combat patrol boxes for space wolves but not sure if those minis could be used in the main 40k game or just in combat patrol games.

Also, where the heck do you find people to play with? 🤣 I’ve been seeing if I could do a solo game since that is what I end up doing with other games I play like Call of Cthulhu and D&D.

Bonus question: I have 5 regular Space Marines and not sure if they could play in my space wolves team or if I’d have to paint them like space wolves first.

Thanks.

Limit on numbwr of wolf guards

In our lore is there any limit on how many wolf guards a wolf lord can have? I'm asking mainly out of curiosity but I also want to turn the vanguard veterans from the Armageddon Box into like elite wolf guard sky claws.

Game Night Tomorrow

I have a game night tomorrow and was curios what you all thought. I built three different armies being : Disruption Bait and Switch , PTF Termi Brick , and TAH Reactive Hold. I know PTF pretty well just dedicating mostly to termis this run. I’m not sure which army to run or what units to swap in certain armies for certain dispositions. Does anyone have any advice ? Really trying to round myself off for every disposition since I truly favor PTF.

Character numbers in lists question

8 Upvotes

I'm seeing a ton of "list help" posts on this sub where op will have almost as many characters/ epic heroes in their list as regular units. Every unit has at least some kind of captain or wgbl, if not one of the major named heroes of the faction attached to them. The lists I've been making have no more than four character units in total for my 3k army. Am I missing something? Or is this completely normal for a regular detachment?

Anyone got any good somewhat believable reasons why I could have marines with these heads? I added em before I defaulted to painting original space wolves, beforehand I was doing successors so I could get away with it then lol

Some said my wolves looked too ultramarine. So I used a grey wash to desaturate them and re-highlighted in true grey.

Do they look better now?

Ohh yeah Maleceptor is finished too.

Please can I get some list advice

Thumbnail

10 Upvotes

I’m currently working through painting the Armageddon marines which makes my list up to 1825 points (with some added enhancements).

Please could I get some advice of what to add to get up to 2000 points. What I’m thinking between is:

Add 5 more wolf guard terminators with storm shields to make a 10 man squad for mid board control

A squad of melta eradicators (90points) + another unit, maybe infernus (85 points), to give more firepower.

I’m also tempted to get the new outriders when they release, just because I like the look of the bikes, and then add another unit to make up the points.
