I have 4500pts of 13th Company Space Wolves from The Eye of Terror Codex. I don't know how many people out there took this army up, but since the new Space Wolves Codex has come out, I have felt a bit abandoned! Am I correct in saying that my Eye of Terror army list is now defunct and I can not use it? I know that the new Codex makes provisions for me to make a 13th Company chapter using the said Codex, but this makes a massive change to the army I wanted to play originally! OK, I could take no vehicles and base the army around the fluff in The Eye of Terror list, but where have my scout rules gone? where is my Wulven unit? Why couldn't GW just have made a White Dwarf Update of Eye of Terror armies or something?
Is it just me that feels betrayed?...
What about other 13th Company players? OK, it is great that I can now take vehicles, and yes you can make "cheese" with the new Codex, BUT, do I really want to start investing in more models? I was done and dusted with that army and have moved on to other things! I don't want to start again with them!
I just want to play them!
Sorry for the rant, but I just had to do it!!
So what are you doing with your 13th Company?
What I would do for all your wulven is remount a couple on 60 mm bases, and count them as thunderwolf calvary. While this isn't a perfect solution, and may not play exactly how you intended, just look at it as 1 thunderwolf is 2 wulven. Play a couple games with them, they are incredibly powerful, and very fun to play.
ReplyDeleteI had a 13th Company list as well, but since the Codex was pulled it's not longer considered valid. I haven't been playing them, but I'd use them as Space Wolves or Chaos Space Marines if I did.
ReplyDeleteI really miss the old 13th Company list. I owned several large events with it.
