After discussing how I would use the banewolf in the previous article, I took the next obvious step, and created a preliminary list with it. I always start with 2500 points. We discussed a using two Banewolves with Creed, giving them scout with Creed's, "tactical genius". What I wanted was a list that used the Banewolf as a shoot me before I get you type of unit. Put the panic into the opponent and a little bit of pain if they fail to stop them. The rest of the army would consist of some units that I mostly just wanted to play with, mostly consisting of str10 ap2 large blasts around the board.
Ive also wanted to use another little trick I like with veterans, so I included them into the list to take full advantage of Creed's 4 orders at 24", and using Kell to make sure those orders are followed. So what we have is one veteran squad taking the "forward sentries doctrine" to gain stealth. One other veteran unit will take Gunnery Sergeant Harker so that we can get two units with stealth. Harkers unit will also use its infiltrate for tactical deployment. The trick is that the unit can go to ground, gaining a +1 to its cover save which is already a 3+ due to stealth giving it a 2+ when hitting the dirt. Then with Creed, we order the unit "get back in the fight" on Creed's leadership of 10 due to Kell, so they can stand back up and fire those weapons.
So here it is. Lord Castellon Creed 2500 pts
