NAG Ard Boyz 2012 Tournament Army
Last month I took part in the NAG 2012 Ard Boyz tournament using an all Terminator Space Wolf list. I was putting together an army of chaos terminator minis specially for this and luckily there was no painted requirement so I was able to get by with a largely WIP army! The army did really well and I finished in 2nd place overall! The 1750pt list I took was: Logan Grimnar 10 Wolf Guard Terminators 2 w/ Combi-Meltas & Power Weapons 2 w/ Cyclone Missile Launchers, Storm Bolters & Power Weapons 6 w/ Storm Bolters & Power Weapons (Logan joins this squad negating the need for a Powerfist here) 10 Wolf Guard Terminators 2 w/ Combi-Meltas & Power Weapons 2 w/ Cyclone Missle Launchers, Storm Bolters & Power Weapons 5 w/ Storm Bolters & Power Weapons 1 w/ Storm Bolter & Powerfist 10 Wolf Guard Terminators 2 w/ Combi-Meltas & Power Weapons 2 w/ Cyclone Missle Launchers, Storm Bolters & Power Weapons 5 w/ Storm Bolters & Power Weapons 1 w/ Storm Bolter & Powerfist Lone Wolf Terminator w/ Chainfist & Storm Shield Lone Wolf Terminator w/ Chainfist & Storm Shield Lone Wolf Terminator w/ Chainfist & Storm Shield The general theme for the list in games was to use the Lone Wolves as a fire-magnet to cover the advance of the large terminator squads. Pointing them at valuable vehicles and forcing the enemy to engage them somehow sparing the squads unwanted attention as they moved into position to carry out the mission objectives. With the Cyclone Missile Launchers there was plenty of range to be able to sit back as required and with so many power weapons & counter-attack getting dragged into assaults was never a real concern. Something to not be underestimated is the psychological impact of quite so many Terminators being deployed across the table and then the Lone Wolves did an exceptionally good job of passing their saves and Feel No Pain rolls to really add make it feel like an uphill struggle to make a dent on the army. The tournament used special non-rulebook scenarios throughout which provided a fun and different challenge to the norm. The scoring system was as follows: Scoring Base battle points should be determined by the chart below. Result
