Yes they are.

The Ironwolves formation:
1 Wolf Lord or Battle leader.
0-1 Wolf Guard or Termintors
2-3 Blood Claws
2-4 Grey Hunters Land Speeders
1-2 Long Fangs
0-1 Wolf Scouts

Restrictions: The formation have to include enough dedicated transport to embark all non-vehicle model.
Special Rules:
Units of of this detachment may disembark from transport moving up to 12"
Vehicles may move additional 6" when moving flat out.-
Vehicles of this formation may get all upgrades they want for free (weapons and wargear)
So would landspeeders count as vehicles? Does this mean you can pick the base speeder and add a multimelta and assault cannon for free? (and keep the base price of 50 pts) If so this does give us a bit of much needed firepower.
Yes. As it is worded yes.

No Apendix in the samples but rules for Krom like mentioned before in this thread.
Based on how the introduction is worded and the British Library registration in the legal section at the back, it looks like there will be a printed book later as well.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Already posted I guess - Long Fangs

Iron Priests are 75 points, but get a stat boost, and an extra wound
I believe that would be how it works, it says all Iron wolves vehicles.
Englishfury- so if I wanted to take a lone wolf, I would have to purchase a drop pod from the FA slot to embark him (since he doesnt have a dedicated option)- what about things like blood claw bikers- I assume you couldnt take them as BCs as you cant put bikes in any transport options?
here is what it says as far as i can tell.
You must include enough Dedicated Transports with sufficient Transport Capacity to Carry all Non-Vehicle models from this formation.
so I would say no, since they have no Dedicated Transport option.
And can Iron Priests still take a thunderwolf mount?
No new Relics for Wolves.
They can mount a TW for 50 points.

Man... at a glance, Wulfen are a fun, and viable unit, and addition to the Wolves, but who would've guessed Demons would end up getting the better over-all content from these releases.
Outside of the Murderpack formation, and maybe the Blackmane Greatpack... SWs seem to have fared pretty poorly.
Also, having the inferior Dread stat-lines despite having cooler Dread models makes me a sad panda. :-(

How to get the artefacts ? (I have not seen that heroes can spend X points to wear them )
And the last.
How to get the benefits of daemon decurion? (how many units/formations are necessary)
Models that are able to purchase Rewards, can purchase an (and only one) Artifact as well for the point cost.
Daemon Decurión is:
Basic 1+
Command:0-4
Aux: 1+
Basic: Murderhorde, Warpflame host, Tallyband, Flayertroupe
Command: 1 Daemon Lord (Great Daemons or DP), Infernal Tetrad
Aux: The rest of the formations

Incidentally, does this mean the old Champions of Fenris, Company of the Great Wolf detachment is dead? I rather loved it, and still think its our default.
I was thinking of running it, and the new Murderpack formation together.

As for what I'm reading on those formations... these are Apocalypse-only formations, or unbound formations. Compared to the formations I've been seeing in other codicies that can be used in regular games, I'm inclined to say that, if nothing else, Games Workshop keeps finding in the worst possible places to implement the gods' respective numbers.

The Wulfen units that get an additional attack for every 6 to hit in combat – (is that an additional hit or an additional attack?) 1 additional A for every 6 to hit. (does that proc off of secondary hits?) – Yes, as long as you roll 6’s to hit…

More coming
