Which, oh by the way, if you want to get super technical - are Vanilla Marine drop pods which can have beacons on them for bringing in the next wave. The synergies that exist between Wolves and Vanilla are pretty awesome when you start looking into them... <br /><br />Von - Link away my friend, I'm honored that you would think my meandering ramblings to be food for thought for others. ;)Tallarnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11459754150896912814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8729853142202369059.post-41632434752272772912012-11-30T23:13:18.646-08:002012-11-30T23:13:18.646-08:00Good stuff, this.

I can definitely see the appeal of, for instance, the allied Death Company + Librarian + Dreadnought + Stormraven setup in a ponderous, footslogging, heavy-weapon-oriented build - you need something that can go out there and eliminate what needs eliminating, slow down what needs slowing down, and generally give the enemy something to worry about and avoid.<br /><br />I might well link back to this article when I get around to writing the 'tactics' part of Allies fur Alles.

You can ...And doing the same thing with Wolfguard?<br /><br />You can droppod 8 wolfguard with 4 combi of each type or even 3 plasma, 3 fusion and 2 flamer for more adaptability.<br /><br />Cheerspedrogzc@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00142359743627934813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8729853142202369059.post-41719548593608573462012-11-26T05:35:12.351-08:002012-11-26T05:35:12.351-08:00I, too, play Wolves and I very much enjoy my Drop ...I, too, play Wolves and I very much enjoy my Drop Sternguard squad, though I generally run 5 man squads with 5 combi-meltas (mostly because I really, really, really want that Plasma-cutioner Russ dead. Yesterday, preferably...)<br /><br />I've done a 10 man squad a couple times, but I had 6 or so combi-meltas (so each combat squad has a decent amount of melta goodness.) and Pedro (not in the Pod) rather than a Librarian.<br /><br />I've moved away from Kantor recently, because I decided having Grey Hunters pod in with the Sternguard was more beneficial, multiple threats and all that, and they are scoring so the Sternguard don't have to be. Double plus, the Librarian is 75 points cheaper than Pedro.<br /><br />Also worth noting: Hellfire rounds are awesome vs. 2+ save models that you don't want to/have the luxury of wasting combi-melta shots on. I'm very much a proponent of "make more saves, fail more saves" theory.Tim Haephaestushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14244954201517752866noreply@blogger.com
