While its a bit gimmicky rather than reliable it does mean that your opponent will have to deal with a unit that can be relied upon to show up in his deployment and score a VP for Linebreaker.<br /><br />It seems that the BRB & FAQ have caused lots of confusion which is something I might have to come back to.Stormyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10527705644047298716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8905820548819806884.post-34741426832072429152012-07-04T11:21:31.811+01:002012-07-04T11:21:31.811+01:00One minor thing i think i picked up on which i hav...One minor thing i think i picked up on which i haven't seen mentioned elsewhere. Acute Senses has now changed completly.<br />Where the range a Wolf brother can see during night fighting has now been removed. Whereas the 6th edition FAQ means it hasn't been retro-giving back to Space Wolves. Meaning our night fighting has been reduced to standard Marines (so much for our corruption of the canis helix!) And i will probably argue that SW: Acute Senses rule is now useless as the only unit as far as I can see that can/will use it is Wolf Scouts!Wolf Lord Lorgushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13011106353637953326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8905820548819806884.post-77515480612623476722012-07-02T17:56:50.679+01:002012-07-02T17:56:50.679+01:00But Tempest isn't as good as it was because wh...But Tempest isn't as good as it was because while it affects Skimmers no mention is made of it affecting Flyers, so Allies are looking more and more to be the solution to them assuming that Long Fangs can't fire Flakk rounds from their missiles.<br /><br />I think Storm Caller with a Saga of the Hunter Wolf Priest is a good bet to give a unit a 4+ save and Fearless every run, as well as re-rolls on 1's to hit and wound specified enemies.Stormyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10527705644047298716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8905820548819806884.post-55603624329733478152012-07-02T17:50:25.360+01:002012-07-02T17:50:25.360+01:00That two-handed axe can be used to count-as a Powe...That two-handed axe can be used to count-as a Power Fist, maybe?<br /><br />If your opponent gets confused just ask him if he thinks you're stupid because no-one will have them anymore. :PStormyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10527705644047298716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8905820548819806884.post-52500014748745822282012-07-02T16:34:08.506+01:002012-07-02T16:34:08.506+01:00Well done, there is the +1 A, but you're still...Well done, there is the +1 A, but you're still right it's not really worth it.

I don't see them hunting Land Raiders as most Raiders will want to rush into midfield with their deadly cargos now, unless they're going to act as a very pricey support platform which means the Scouts will be too far to deal damage with their Meltas. They'll still be handy against other support vehicles but can only tag one per turn now and not a couple like they could before.<br /><br />They can be a very good Focus Fire unit used to snipe guys out of squads depending upon their positioning. You move them to within 12" of some carelessly placed fancy guy and unload all of the Plasma into him so that no amount of LO,S will save him.<br /><br />They'll have to get a few test games into them though.Stormyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10527705644047298716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8905820548819806884.post-35275718713992755502012-07-02T11:56:26.774+01:002012-07-02T11:56:26.774+01:00Runic Armour will be almost as good as it will all...Runic Armour will be almost as good as it will allow a Priest to issue challenges and potentially tie up characters with AP 3 weapons while his buddies get to work.<br /><br />And he can be used to soak up loads of shots and rely on his 2+/2+ LO,S to put Lascannons and Plasma shots on nearby grunts.Stormyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10527705644047298716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8905820548819806884.post-87573419636700706942012-07-02T11:54:12.749+01:002012-07-02T11:54:12.749+01:00I've got a question for you.

However, it also deals with Unusual Force Weapons which have their own rules beneath it and Runic Weapons have their own rules.<br /><br />They function like a normal force weapon but they also wound Daemons on a 2+, so they could be said to fall under the rules for Unusual Force Weapons and become AP 3 weapons.<br /><br />As for 3 attempts to stop a power, I reckon it's only 2. Rune Weapons are our Deny the Witch replacement so its always a 4+ while the WTT kicks in if that fails.<br /><br />Thoughts?Stormyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10527705644047298716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8905820548819806884.post-64051129380415674432012-07-02T00:35:55.088+01:002012-07-02T00:35:55.088+01:00Wolf Scouts aren't great at all now.
