When 5th edition came, me and a friend got our hands on the old 4th edition box and we played Warhammer. I was packing some purle and orange Space Wolves back then.
I have decided to try them out for a spinn. It is also a good excuse to take of that horrible colourscheme and paint them in grey/baby blue. (The scheme was not bad. Just very disco. My paint skills however where bad. As the patron saint of painting says: "Thin your paints."
The plan goes as follows: Divide the army up in 3 pieces. With very few soft targets.
The first piece will be fighting for midobjective. The 10 Terminators, Bjorn, Redemtor Dreadnought goes here. Bjorn lets all of the plasma units re-roll 1 to hit. With a stratagem I can also re-roll one to wound. The temrinators can add +1 to their hit rolls. So most of the plasma should be hitting. The rocketlaunchers, sadly, can miss on on a natural 2. Bjorn will be hitting on 2's with his lascannon, and wounding on 2's with hislascannon. This is also my long range suport units.
The second group will be the Thunderwolves and the bikes. While only 1 multimelta, they will need to eat through all the other bikes before they get to it. Admitidly, the bikes are my softest targets T1. With only 3 wounds, T5 3+ save. Bikes can do double duty shooting and fighting in melee. The re-roll 1's from the Wolf Lord will also help on the plasmaguns. The Wulfen dreadnought will deploy with these, but he is mostly a desently costed distraction carnifex. Although he can use the dreadnought stratagem mentioned with Bjorn if need be.
The 3rd group is the Grey Hunters in drop pods. 2 5 man group with flamers. With a fully opened drop pod they can get quite a long reach on the drop pod. The other unit has flasma and is more of an 'allcomers unit'. Not sure about these, but they give me good flexabilaty and mobilaty. Heavy Interscessors are also a potensial replacement for them, but since I own Grey Hunters and not Heavy Interscessors I am sticking with my guns. Also not super happy for 'wasting' 140 points on drop pods.
I have mostly been focusing on killing my opponent and pushing him of his backline. While grabbing/holding midfield. I do not have a lot of ideas for secondaries. I think the list is functional while having a lot of funn elements in it.
