I apologize brothers for the lack
of communication; the warp works in mysterious ways and I have just been able
to get back to my creation of data slates to benefit the chapter. I bring to
you today, my valued brothers of the fang and the sisters of battle, a new
means of doing war that is an improvement on the old list. Earlier last year I
brought to you my ideas on a Dreadnought heavy list in which we employed our
ancient tacticians and warriors to bring death to the foes of the Imperium of
Man. Today I bring you a new version of this list.
Led by
none other than Bjorn the Fell Handed, this list sports 5 Dreadnoughts to
annihilate the enemy’s army. All of the aforementioned Dreadnoughts are meant to
crush the enemy in close combat by sporting either superior defenses (the
shield brothers), superior assault capabilities (Murderfang), or a combination
of the two (Bjorn and the Contemptor). To bring the mechanical behemoths into
close combat, I have selected Drop Pods for each and every one of the
Dreadnoughts, the contemptor’s having been purchased in the Fast Attack slot.
Finally, our Dreadnoughts are supported by a
Sicaran Battle Tank, Stormfang Gunship, and a pack of Thunderwolves. The
Sicaran Battle Tank pulls double duty with its twin-linked accelerator
autocannon that can rip light tanks apart and has a fair shot at downing enemy
fliers while having more punch with its dual lascannon sponsons. The best part
of this beast of a tank is with this loadout it is resistant to both Haywire
and Melta attacks and has the Tank Hunter special rule, allowing it a better
chance of demolishing enemy vehicles with its hard hitting lascannons and
accurate autocannon shots. The Stormfang Gunship is capable of hunting vehicles
(both grounded and flying), Monstrous Creatures (both grounded and flying), and
elite troops with its loadout. The Thunderwolf Cavalry are a general purpose
hole-puncher. With the combination of Fists, claws, and either a sword or mace
depending on your choice of loadout, the group comes in at a whopping 34
attacks on the charge, 10 of which are strength 10 AP 2, and 6 hammer of wrath
attacks all while having an improved weapon skill stat due to the Champions of Fenris supplement that we
are using for the list. The only question at that point is whether you will
bring the sword or the maul to the fight. Swords are able to destroy TEC more
efficiently while the maul will place wounds easier across the board and has an
easier time removing hull points from vehicles.
This is a simple yet effect list
against many opponents, but as with anything can be improved upon. If you have
any ideas on how to improve on this list leave me some comments below. If you have
an idea of what will work better for the Fang’s war efforts also leave me a
comment below and it will be the next list in the making. Till next time
brothers and, as always : For Russ, for the Allfather, for the Wolftime.
