Howdy, Njal!
Our FLGS owner asked me to playtest a 2,000pt four Rune Priest Space Wolves army against _heavy_ tournament armies (more details on that later) and I was lucky enough to get in THREE games last night with some of the local top players.
I can sum up all of the games with Njal Stormcaller is the best character in the game. Bar none. He’s surprisingly abusive.
I’ll put up a more detailed copy of the list today, but here’s the short form:
Njal + 9 Grey Hunters + Drop Pod
Rune Priest + 9 Grey Hunters + Drop Pod
Rune Priest + 9 Grey Hunters + Drop Pod
Rune Priest + 9 Grey Hunters + Drop Pod
Dreadnought + Drop Pod
Dreadnought + Drop Pod
Dreadnought + Drop Pod
Although I probably won’t do battle reports, I’ll talk more about the games in the next couple of Flywire posts.
1. Jwolf’s heavy Chaos Space Marines list.
Highlight: Njal killed Huron in close combat without taking a scratch!
(expect a video battle report of this game in the next few weeks)
2. A 2,000pt version of “The Leafblower” played by Nick Rose.
Hightlight: Njal’s Stormcaller power managed to destroy 4 Chimeras, a Medusa and kill 20 Guardsmen in a single turn!
3. Josiah’s (2009 ‘Ard Boyz finalist) new heavy Space Marine army (geared specifically toward dealing with Space Wolves.
Highlight: Pedro Kantor called down an Orbital Bombardment which scattered so far that it killed 14 of Josiah’s own marines and left me untouched.
Three great players! Three great games! Three tables trashed by Njal Stormcaller!
