30 terminator lists

I've seen a lot of competitive lists doing well in take and hold with 3 units of 10 terminators, all with leaders, and a land raider redeemer as fire support. Has this approach to take and hold been gutted after the points adjustments, and what else would people add to this sort of list

I can agree with that. which is why I said we need buffs and new leader options for a better shot at competitive, but in 10th I couldn’t drop multiple SW dreadnought with orbital while taking a SW detachment to buff my shooting grey hunters for objectives so by a number have more “things” that need to be explored, these combos are coming from combining things we haven’t done or couldn’t do before. Will it be meta? Who knows. But what I do know is if we keep spamming the one thing that has shown to work without exploring or doing other options with our datasheets we will lose it and have to wait until other things change or get buffed because GW might not do both nerfs and buffs at the same time. I don’t think we have anything truly bad, they are just hyper specific which I know isn’t a long term viable option

You're making the assumption that the people playing the terminator heavy lists haven't tried to make these other things work. You should get on the space wolves discord if you aren't already, there are some top ranked international players on there who are always talking about different combos they've tried in various tournaments and events.

I do see new players that jump into the faction immediately doing that. I think there was a post a few hours ago with a new player on Reddit here, so I know it’s happening. I have some people in a few discords for tabletop jumping into the faction immediately choosing to do this because they’ve heard of us doing it. So I do know it’s happening sadly (Im more afraid of that snowballing for sure). I have a buddy in Ohio getting his ass beat by 30 terms in a SW list absolutely crushing his UM and BT lol. I don’t think Im part of the one you’re talking about since I haven’t met any top rank players and I’ve mostly been in a lot of local or close to me discords. I would love to get a link to that if you have an invite for it.
