1500 Wings: fresh from the Logan

Bully wants to see how I would play Logan Wing at 1500pts...

Hard to say because at that level I try to use my Blood Mech.

But at least lets see what I can come up with...

HQ Logan Grimnar 275pts
Elite: Wolf Scouts with melta gun,  85pts

Elite: Lone wolf, termi armor w C-Fist,S-Shield, 85pts

Elite: Lone wolf, termi armor w C-Fist,S-Shield, 85pts

Troop: 4 Wolf Guard, 1 Terminator w Cyclone-ML and C-Fist 150pts

Troop: 4 Wolf Guard, 1 Terminator w Cyclone-ML and C-Fist 150pts

Troop: 4 Wolf Guard 1 with combi melta, 1 Terminator w Cyclone-ML and C-Fist 155pts

Fast Attack: 1 Thunder Wolf w Wolf-Claw 70pts

Fast Attack: 1 Thunder Wolf w P-Fist and S-Shield 105pts

Fast Attack: 1 Thunder Wolf w P-Fist and S-Shield 105pts

Heavy Support: 5 Long Fangs, 4 Missile Launchers 115pts

Heavy Support: 5 Long Fangs, 4 Missile Launchers 115pts

Total: 1495

Not shabby at all, compared to my 1750 list I lose the following:

4 missile shots,

5 str 10 attacks,

1 scoring unit,

one *sniff* lone wolf,

What I have still in the list is:

14 missiles shooting at 7 targets,

6 close combat machines,

Wolf scout melta (Big change with some meltas to throw in front of a Landraider)

And not having Killpoint games starting out with the enemy +3 in his favor due to Lone Wolves. The less the points of the game, the less likely I will want to use Lone wolves as the enemy will have less stuff to kill them with.

I like it. I probably wont play it as I built the BloodMech as my 1500pt army but its OK and if forced it can still lay down the hurt on most armies.

... Is that a Wolf Claw on one of those Thunderwolves...Dear God I am turning into Purgatus!!!

  1. Cheers man - I like it.

    I really am enamoured with the Lone Wolves I have to say, though I am worried about getting DoW + KP's (hi purg! :( lol). I do like the TWC w/ PF - but I think having the single one to have the 6 attacks rerolling hits is really nice as well.

    My only concern is the 3 troops choices vs 4 - you know me and I do like to have my 4 on the table! ;D

    I might drop the WC TWC and run a couple more bodies in 1 of the WG squads - should I run the list - as I have only 2 TWC model'd right now.

    One thing I do ask questions about is how are you using Logan himself. At those points the initial instinct is to get the points back, but on 2nd thoughts I am thinking maybe initially you pop him with the longfangs for some tank hunting, then when needed he runs himself over to a WG squad for some prefered enemy or fearless requirements. He in himself is a reactionary king, literally a tool for every job. Would I be roughly in the right ball park with that?

    Cheers again for the list, modeling wise to put that on the table I need like 3 PA WG made and 1 TWC lol.

  2. Ive always played with Logan moving up with the WG in a squad of Long Fangs. He adds another tough combat unit to the mass and spreads his "majesty saga aura" around in midfeild. He is really expensive at 1500pts and I have a hard time making sure he earns back his points. Often he sucks up wounds for the Long Fangs while allowing them to constantly move forward and get better angles.

    This list has only two units of Long Fangs though so it really is your opinion.

    Yes, three troops are hard to work with but with the Lone Wolves and the Thunderwolves attracting fire the troops usually aren't noticed until the later turns when it becomes to late.

    I hope the list works out for you. If you have the models might as well try them out.
