Are there any rules for how to model GH? Do they have chainsword, bolter and pistol?

they do yeah (we'd have heard by now if space wolves lost chain swords)

the MK3 marines are GREAT for this

I like hungry like the wolf.

Grey hunters can have all 3, and no there are no modeling rules stating you have to have all 3 to count. How many tactical marine models have pistols on them with their bolters?

Yeah I don't model pistols on my GH. I do model bolter and chainsword because it looks awesome.

I am a bit annoyed that the wolf guard pack leader upgrades cost more points than the rest of the squad after they didn't in the index. Not a giant deal, but didn't seem necessary to me.

especially as codex marines don't pay extra for their veteran sergent.

Yeah I'm considering just not taking them and doubling up on 5 man squads in rhinos vs a single big squad, as I don't think we really want too many points put into individual squads... Idk we'll see how it goes.

Best Star Doggos Appreciation Thread

Best warlord is FW.............hint hint.

So so good.

Im looking forward to my 3000 point 5v5 apoc tomorrow.

List looks crazy strong and if i/we get 1st turn O lordy should be guaranteed aura turn1.

Pew pew!!!!!!

Bit boring that main part of army is gunline, but im glad the assault portion is hella strong and that it looks like we can compete well, when i wasnt sure earlier.

One question now we have that ignore -modifiers is the heavy hellblaster an option? or should i still run the RF hellblasters for greater flex?

Best warlord is FW.............hint hint.

Worst is Ragnar Blackmane, considerably over-costed at this point. He is 60 more points than a Wolf Lord with a Frost Blade. He is probably about 30 pts over costed.

Hell Frost ability still sucks. Mortal wound on a 6 if a model takes unsaved wounds still. Yawn. This gets forgotten more often than not.

I wish Primaris characters could get some mobility. Since they nerfed all of the non-primaris WGBLs.

That all said I see Rune Priests being souped into a lot of armies. At least until Chooser of the slain gets nerfed. Currently it allows any friendly unit to shoot at reinforcements. Say hello to my little Castellan Knight Titan Friend.

Are you talking about a Chaplain Venerable Dread? That is the only HQ I see that SW can take in the FW Index.

exactly!! such an amazing HQ for wolves after i saw all the combo's with him i cant bring myself to use any other HQ.

Compared to a wolflord with frostsword, Ragnar gets 1 additional attack,Insane bravado which apparently is now 1d3 addeded attacks, an additional -1 to his armor pen, 2 damage with his sword instead of 1 damage, re-roll charge rolls (this is honestly a pretty big one) and can I suppose take his two ferensian wolves if he wants to have protection agaisnt snipers but they're costed seperately so not worth calculating in.

Ragnar is definatly an improvement over a generic wolf lord with frost sword, with Frostfang being a step above the Krakenbone sword IMHO not sure he's worth an extra 60 points though, still... he might be. time will tell,

Ragnar gets 1d3 extra attacks when he Heroically Intercepts. If he got them all the time that would be a different story. His Wolves get 3 attacks each instead of the normal 2 for Fenrisian Wolves however. I really don't count the Sword, as I can just buy a normal WL a Thunderhammer, which isn't really a detriment.

Re-Rolls charges is nice.

Thats the good thing with the weapon options available to the chap dread he can rock twin las/cc arm and you can rock beastslayer(1st turn aura activation- i think is very powerful for comp because a solid gunline supported with some assault elements should put us in good stead)) and armor russ or for a cc flavor inferno arm/multi meta or still twin las and cc arm then run armor + hunter, so he can move shoot(strat) or move advance/charge(double flamer).

Oh almost forgot you can switch out armor for wulfen stone and hunter and now chap dread is a dream for chainswords/power weapons etc.
+1 strength in fight phase +1attack and now your GH and bloodclaws/skyclaws are like death company.


All for cheaper than Bjorn.

can you really equip a DREADNOUGHT with a armor relic? one would think that would, by virtue of common sense be disallowed

RAW yes he can. Probably in a tourney he would be fine. As it breaks no rules. the next Tourney run by the same people would probably have rules against. Personally, no one is wearing Russ' armor, its far too big for a Marine. They are carrying a token of Russ' Armor. I don't care if its a Dread or a SW Scout.

That said, I'd have a hard time justifying a 'Chaplain' Dread. We don't have Chaplains. We have Wolf Priests, which are not the same.

Who cares what the book calls call it a wolf priest dread.

Bjorn has various relics on him so why would it be odd for a wolf priest dread to not have some?

Bjorn only has the Trueclaw, very clearly made for a Dread.

Hey guys, check out my codex review here:

https://www.glasshammergaming.co.uk/2018/08/24/codex-review-space-wolves/

So random thought... If you took a wolf lord with the Wulfen stone and the saga of majesty that'd be a 9 inch +1 attack bubble wouldn't it?

Saga of magesty doesn't boost relic auras.

The new thread is made. Let's move it over there guys.

I am modeling some scouts for kill team. Can SW scouts stil take bolters, shotguns and sniper rifles?
