Logan Hybrid Mech

Watching Stelek go through his "1001 Arabian Lists" exercise while he gets ready for the NOVA has been interesting, to say the least. It's like getting a Yes the Truth Hurts brain dump over a couple of weeks.

Needless to say, watching other people build lists gets me interested in building my own. This list was itching in my brain and I had to throw it in a spreadsheet to see how I could make it fit. This borrows shamelessly from many of Stelek's concepts, but I don't think he's put anything quite like this together (could be wrong though... the guy writes a ton of lists).

Logan

Wolf Scouts x 5, Meltagun
Wolf Scouts x 5, Meltagun

-Wolf Guard x 10, Terminator x 2 w/Cyclone Launchers, 2 w/Combimeltas (go with Grey Hunters), 1 w/Combimelta & Wolf Claw (goes with Wolf Scouts), 5 w/Stormbolters
-Wolf Guard x 10, Terminator x 2 w/Cyclone Launchers, 2 w/Combimeltas (go with Grey Hunters), 1 w/Combimelta & Wolf Claw (goes with Wolf Scouts), 5 w/Stormbolters
-Grey Hunters x 5, Meltagun, Razorback (Heavy Bolter)
-Grey Hunters x 5, Meltagun, Razorback (Heavy Bolter)
-Grey Hunters x 5, Meltagun, Razorback (Heavy Bolter)
-Grey Hunters x 5, Meltagun, Razorback (Heavy Bolter)

Longfangs x 4, Multimelta x 4, Pack Leader, Drop Pod
Longfangs x 4, Missile Launcher x 4, Pack Leader, Razorback w/Heavy Bolters
Longfangs x 4, Missile Launcher x 4, Pack Leader, Razorback w/Heavy Bolters

So, after the Wolf Guard units split up you have seven dudes left in each squad, five in power armor with Stormbolters and two Terminators with Stormbolters and Cyclones. 14 Stormbolter shots plus 4 Frag templates is a frightening amount of mid-range anti-infantry. You have two of those units to hang back, shoot a bunch into midfield (and of course still be potent anti-mech) and then claim home-court objectives/quarters).

And of course for this list I hopped on the Heavy Bolter bandwagon. Hey, if you can't beat the Grey Knights, try and be like them but a little crappier, amirite?

Anyways, I think it's got potential. Your thoughts?

C&C welcome. Hopefully now I can get some sleep, lol.
