Topic: Harlequin vs Spacewolves

[StrangeAeons]

Hail and high spirits, all Children of the Laughing God! Tomorrow I dance across a sea of human blood! I'm playing a full Harlequin force (with maybe my Alaitoc Ranger Expedites to back them up) against the loathsome Sapcewolves SM chapter. I'm a veteran returning 40k/Eldar player (been a few years), and I know the SW are rather HTH-oriented so it should be an awesome battle, but I'm so cherry with the current rules I dont want to blow it (or is it a nearly sure win?) Tactics and suggestions would be most welcome!

do those teeth neclaces and hate rules get u hit on a 3+?

[Aulan Cnesha]

they did when I played them   they wiped the floor with me.  I know nothing about SWs but they had some guys with storms above their heads that causes them to always go first in HtH.

 1 watch out for those infaltating terminators
2 you know about storm caller kill that guy quick
3 space wolfs kick mean ass so you have to play smart...Really smart

1 make sure you never get shot bolter and evein bolt pistol can wither your 25pt a model squads down really fast
2 KILL RUNEPREASTS (very very quickly!)
3 watch out for squad leaders and termies
4 get a wrathloard of the dance with a star cannon  
5 don't get shot
6 pounce on one isolated unit at a time (if your opponetn is good his units will never be isolated)
7 Remember; your squads are small in a charge you wil usualy enjoy inital success but if you stay in the same fight for too long (big mob O' orks hurts more then termies cuz of this) you will die

Use death jesters with Brightlances and whittle them down, and strike in force, if your target survives the first round, you are in trouble.

[the_mighty_brain]

yes 9 death jesters with bright lances.

Zzap I say!

[StrangeAeons]

OK, so hows this:

-Death Jesters with B-Lances & Lord of the Dance with Starcannon ( I would use the Scatter Laser but he'll probably have his usual legion of SW Predators): Stick 'em on the longest fire lane, hopefully right up the middle, they Lord can charge in if theres some loss at the front lines

-Squads move up left and right, cover to cover charge the shooty units HTH, going Fleet of Foot with holofields doing crazy psychedelix on the SWs until their eyeballs melt! Hehehehehehe!

-Harlequin jetbikes: (yes my buddy let me use his Harlequin jetbikes, the ones he had since they first came out 10 years ago  drool!! ), all over the place picking off the HQ individuals

-Solitare sneak attacking the HQ units, HE'S NAASSSTTYYY...

------------------------
About the Space wolves:

-Yes, kill the Runepriests, I will!

-Terminators: Yeah, its fun if you can charge them and rip em up but if they get a couple good swings at you with chainfists and powergloves ya ded cause no armor, fuggetaboutit...oth erwise the Jesters will be too busy to be effective...he'll probably send them after my Death Jesters if he's got the beard, so maybe a squad next to them too...

-Teeth necklaces?? Oo, the Harlies want those for trophies, woofwoof!

-Storm caller? ? Is that a special psychic power? I think the Harlies should go first anyway!

well im probabaly a bit late now but being a space wolves player myself i'd say go for the HQ units first especially the runepriest,wolflord and the wolf preist.Then do not!!! let blood claws get into close combat they will defeat harleys who are in small squads and their highish toughness means they will wound u easier secondly long fangs take them out in close combat and grey hunters depends on how lucky you feel...... use these for the next time p.s if anyone i know from my games club is reading this ignor everything i just said
