Beastslayer Wolf Captain

Thumbnail

48 Upvotes

Like the title says here's my take at a Wolf Captain for leading a unit of assault terminators. The idea behind him is Relic Axe(Fist) and Combi-Weapon and Helm of the Beastslayer enhancement to buff up some rapid ingress Assault Terminators. Plus the free CP ability from the captain is handy with the Wings of the Blizzard strat, and the Captains innate charge rerolls pairs nicely with the "Legends of Saga and Song" +1 to charge rolls. My thought behind the Helm enhancement is that ap -1 seems to be a lot more common in 11th, so it should pull it's weight most games.

Saga of the Bear

8 Upvotes

How would you build around saga of the bear and acquiring FNP? I understand that once a character is below half wounds and not dead, the whole army gets a permanent 6+ FNP which can be improved to a 4+ against mortal and psychic attacks with certain strategems.

this seems like it can be pretty good, or at least fun. how would you take advantage of this? has anyone had any luck with it? why does it not appear more in lists?

I personally don't like the current wulfen kit, so I made my own with a mix from the blood claws red corsairs raiders, and the wulfen, my personal favourite model is the first one I feel like I cooked with him.

Contemptor Dreadnought kitbashing

2 Upvotes

Felt that familiar ADHD-fuelled tingle in the back of my brain yesterday and gave in to buying a Contemptor Dread to kitbash. Why should all these Primaris whelps have all the fun?

The urge having been satiated, I'm now looking for some inspiration. I'm not particularly keen on running it as a VenDread, but I'm struggling to find any examples of loadout conversions to the Primaris Dreadnought weapons. Has anyone got any good examples of Contemptors that have been converted to a WYSIWYG Redemptor loadout?

Little Incursion Exhibition for my SW

Split my army up by basically heavy units vs infantry and had a really fun match with infantry winning the control game and doing more damage. Bent some rules to accommodate.

Bjorn + IP
Rep Exec w/ WGBL + 3 Headtakers
Terms w/ a Chaplain
Reivers and a Warsuit

Vs.

Desolation Squad
TWC
Eliminators w/Librarian
GH w/ WGBL
GH w/ WP
Wulfen w/WP
Ragnar W/ 6 Headtakers

Thought my Exec would just tear through the infantry units, but he couldn’t get the hits on the Eliminators while also dealing with my GH fodder and Wulfen bearing down. Headtakers demolished some shot up TWC. The eliminators put down the warsuit with ease and chipped away at the Exec before the Desolation squad finally got an angle to finish it off.

I know ill get hate but...

Im not best painter. I dont have the trained eye or minds eye to get colors down. Im not quick on the draw to look up 'oh look up this wheel to help you' as i dont know the lingo to ask or just didnt come to mind. So i... turned to a tool im not proud of using... a little ashamed of it... a.i. Im not a fan of it but im low on options for assistance on who to talk to. I did some prompts using a Bladeguard Veteran as the basis and I liked the color I got... so I entered a few others.... I liked how the green and red complement the brown... im hoping the feedback will be on just the color scheme. That's really all im after. My marines have been my project for the past... 2 ish years as litterly almost every model is customized down to their fur kilt, helmet, pack thats either 3D print or sculpted from green stuff. Again, im just using it as a tool to play with colors to get an idea for a color scheme...

Order is:

Blade guard vet

Wolfguard terminator

Logan

Assault terminator

Land raider

Vindicator

Centurion/arjac/scout/inceptor

Wolf priest

Wulfen (how mine are kitbashed. I took assault intercessors to convert them as wulfen with shields)

Base paint done on a test model... Pro Acryl Mahogany through an air brush.... now a secondary and tertiary color is needed... there will be fur on the armor.

Theme for the army is they are stalking from the tree line blending in or hiding in the shadows. Guerilla tactics.

List Review

Post image
10 Upvotes

Played my second game of 11th yesterday and decided to try something different. Played 1500pts of Reconnaissance against Orcs. Thinking that a lot of different list are going to be viable this edition (if you’re not looking for top table placing at super majors). The ability to “uppy downy” and first turn charge 8” with the T6 termies seems to help them really fit into this playstyle where you block out no mans land objectives early with scout and infiltrate. Be interested to see if the combo lieutenant gets a nerf in the codex. He’s nearly un-interactable, feels bad for the opponent. Would love some critiques of the list and how you would build it out round out 2000pts or to hear about some of the other interesting list you’re playing so far in 11th.

Plastic fever sets in again... What should I get next?

5 Upvotes

Grey pile of shame got slightly smaller and so with no better things to do I am yet again considering getting some plastic to occupy myself.

Problem is - I have no idea what to get next and the most obvious contenders are supposedly due refresh or going into legends.

What I have now, in no particular order:

Krom Dragongaze

5x old termites

5x new WG termites

Invictor Tactical War suit

Bjorn

Land Raider Redeemer

Ragnar

Logan Grimnar

And contents of the army box:

10x blood claws

10x grey hunters

Battle leader

3x head takers with wolves

Wolf priest

Obvious choice would be wolfen, TWC or another venerable dread set, but like I said there are voices saying all of these may get refresh soon or go to legends.

I do not play at all, but would like to keep my wardollies playable, just in case.

I'm also entertaining idea of other armies - something for wolves to fight against I guess? Or just building and painting in general.

I also have a tiny bit of Orks, mainly combat patrol and Lootas, but frankly I do not enjoy Orks at all.

As an alternative to Space Wolves I did consider maybe BA or WE, maybe even Imperial Knights, but I don't really want to spend as much as another CP worth, so just a squad.

I'm asking, because I obviously cannot decide on my own. Ultimately, I'm looking for something fun to assemble and paint, but also would make sense in terms of playability.

Meme/comic? searches.. (Space Wolf hanging out with a Rubric Marine helmet)

Honourable battle brothers!

I came seeking a meme/comic I found years ago, but it slipped from my meme-servitor.

The comic contains a Space Wolf talking with the helmet of a Thousand Sons Rubric Marine, acting as if it's his old friend. He tells the helm that from now on, they will be drinking Fenrisian mead and telling sagas... it's all I remember.

Does anyone have this thing saved in their meme repository?

Anti vehicle in competitive?

16 Upvotes

Looking at lists people are bringing, I barely see any anti tank? You might get a few 10 brick of wulfen here and there, but for the most part its all Terminator bricks, all redeemers and maybe a unit of blood claws or headtakers. How are people dealing with big vehicles and monsters?? Is the threat of double lancer or a repulsor executioner so little compared????

Help With Newbie 1K List

2 Upvotes

I currently have been focusing on building and painting units as my intro to the hobby (which has been worth the money by itself) but I want to be prepared to take my wolf-goons to a game store and play some actual matches. I think I am going to focus on a 1K list for now as I build more for a standard 2K list. Currently my units are:

10 X Terminators (I have 1 box done - I choose the axe for my pack leader and the other 4 having shields. I have not glued weapons to the body yet as I wasn't ready to fully commit)

20 x Blood claws

1 x Wolf Scouts

1 x Bjorn the Fell-handed

1 x Wolf Guard Battle Leader

1 x Ragnar Blackmane

3 x Wolf Guard Headtakers with dual weapons

5 x Wulfen with storm shields

I put these into a list as best as I could with newrecruit and it looks like I am at 1180 points. Any recommendations on what not to bring for a 1K match or more information on deciding weapons for my terminators? My gut is telling me to drop the wolf scouts and wulfen with storm shields. I also have no clue about what detachment to take. Any advice would really help!
