Hey guys, I'm planning to enter the Throne of Skulls in January, and I'm currently in the process of getting my army together. I currently own a decent number of models for both Space Wolves and Imperial Guard, and I have army list ideas for both as well. The thing is, before I go out and by the rest of my army, I need to choose which one to go for.
With that in mind, I will list my two armies here and call for a vote on the issue.
1st Army - Space Wolves
Rune Priest - Jaws of the World Wolf, Living Lightning [100]
5 Wolf Guard - 3 Power Fist and Combi-Melta, 1 Combi-Melta, 1 Chainfist, TDA, Cyclone Missile Launcher [230]
Lone Wolf - Thunder Hammer, Storm Shield [80]
8 Hunters - Meltagun, Power Weapon, Mark of the Wulfen, Rhino [190]
8 Hunters - Meltagun, Power Weapon, Mark of the Wulfen, Rhino [190]
9 Hunters - Meltagun, Power Weapon, Mark of the Wulfen, Rhino [205]
5 Hunters - Meltagun, Razorback, Lascannon [155]
Land Speeder - Multi melta, Heavy Flamer [70]
6 Long Fangs - 5 Missile Launchers [140]
6 Long Fangs - 5 Missile Launchers [140]
TOTAL: [1500]
The basic idea is to have my Wolf Guard the PFs in with my Rhino Hunters, my Wolf Guard with just a melta with the Razorback crew, and the termie with a unit of Fangs. Strategy wise I will have my Rhinos rush forward, delivering my Hunters to combat ASAP, while my Long Fangs lay down covering fire. My Lone Wolf runs up the middle, looking threatening and trying to die, while taking out something big if he can. His main function though, is as a distraction. Finally my Landspeeder deepstrikes, either flaming a unit of men or putting the hurt on a tank, whichever is most threatening, and my Razorback sits with my Long Fangs, firing its Lascannon, holding an objective if needed, and shooting any infantry that gets too close.
2nd Army - Imperial Guard
Company Command Squad - Missile Launcher, 2 Grenade Launchers, Master of Ordnance [105]
Chimera [55]
Platoon Command Squad - Missile Launcher, 2 Grenade Launchers [55]
Infantry Platoon - Missile Launcher, Grenade Launcher [70]
Infantry Platoon - Missile Launcher, Grenade Launcher [70]
Heavy Weapon Squad - 3 Lascannons [105]
Platoon Command Squad - Missile Launcher, 2 Grenade Launchers [55]
Infantry Platoon - Missile Launcher, Grenade Launcher [70]
Infantry Platoon - Missile Launcher, Grenade Launcher [70]
Heavy Weapon Squad - 3 Lascannons [105]
10 Veterans - Missile Launcher, 3 Grenade Launchers [100]
Chimera [55]
Leman Russ - Heavy Bolters [170]
Leman Russ Demolisher [165]
2 Basilisks [250]
TOTAL: [1500]
The idea with this army is to combine squads, entrench as best I can, surround my tanks with troops, and then open fire. I will use my Veterans to take objectives if need be, and I'm considering moving my other Chimera to my Platoon Command so they can move quicker onto far objectives as well. My Russ's and Basilisks will lay down a heavy template fire, while my 8 missiles, 6 Lascannons and 13 Grenade Launcher shots will shot at whatever is a threat. The Missiles and grenades can switch to template against horde armies.
So there they are, I look forward to hearing what everyone thinks, and hopefully I will have a better idea of which to invest in before I actually start buying any more models.
