This year I was planning to use Blood Angels but time and money is against me but this is what I wanted to use:
HQ:
Librarian = 100
Troops:
Assault Squad, no jump packs, power weapon, melta gun = 125
Dedicated Land Raider Redeemer (-35), Searchlight, extra armour, multi melta = 231
Assault Squad, no jump packs, power weapon, melta gun = 125
Dedicated Land Raider (-35), Searchlight, extra armour, multi melta = 231
5 Scouts, Camo Cloaks = 90
Fast attack:
Baal Predator, Assault Cannon, Heavy Bolters, Searchlight = 146
Baal Predator, Assault Cannon, Heavy Bolters, Searchlight = 146
Baal Predator, Assault Cannon, Heavy Bolters, Searchlight = 146
Heavy Support:
Predator, Autocannon, Lascannons, Searchlight = 136
Predator, Autocannon, Lascannons, Searchlight = 136
Predator, Autocannon, Lascannons, Searchlight = 136
Total: 1748
I have all these models but I just haven't enough time to build the Land Raiders, magnetise them, and then paint the lot. I have the predators build and fully magnetised with all options.
So alas I have gone back to old reliable - my Space Wolves, but they have changed since my last post about them. I have squeezed much more out of the points and considering what's hot at the moment (Necrons and Grey Knights), and boosted how I like to play them - a sort of aggressive counter attack.
HQ:
Rune Priest, Jaws, Tempests Wrath = 100
Elites:
5 Wolf guard, 3x Power fist + combi meltas, 2x Combi meltas = 175
5 Wolf Scouts, melta gun =85
5 Wolf Scouts, melta gun =85
Troops:
8 Grey Hunters, Wolf Banner, Melta Gun = 135
Rhino =35
8 Grey Hunters, Wolf Banner, Melta Gun = 135
Rhino =35
8 Grey Hunters, Wolf Banner, Melta Gun = 135
Rhino =35
5 Grey Hunters, Flamer = 75
5 Grey Hunters, Flamer = 75
Heavy Support:
6 Long Fangs, 5 Missile Launchers = 140
Razorback, Lascannon, Twin Linked Plasma Guns = 75
6 Long Fangs, 5 Missile Launchers = 140
Razorback, Lascannon, Twin Linked Plasma Guns = 75
6 Long Fangs, 5 Missile Launchers = 140
Razorback, Lascannon, Twin Linked Plasma Guns = 75
Total: 1750
Basically I have dumped Mark of The Wulfen (which saddens me), and the Land Speeders to get a second 5 man Grey Hunter squad and upgrade the Bolter-back to las/plas and bring in two more las/plas razorbacks which belong to the Long fangs for Dawn of War purposes but will get hijacked by the 2 5 man squads. Also as Space Wolves we get free searchlights and acute senses which are going to be vital vs Necrons.
I have been really enjoyed using Tempest's Wrath on my Rune Priest I think its highly underrated and I think that's due to people still thinking about using shooting powers such as Jaws, Living lightning and Murderous Hurricane, but with Grey Knights, Necrons and Dark Eldar on the scene now I think Tempests Wrath is going to be really useful. In fact I think that's a blog post for another day!
