Right, for reasons most fluffy, am deciding to put my wolf lord on the bike, If I gave him his two fenrisian wolves, would I in the movement phase be allowed to roll the run move for my wolves, on top of the normal 6 inches to keep up with the bike moving 12-9 inches?
or would I have to depend on the goodwill of the opponent?

Units with mixed movement speeds are forced to move at the speed of the slowest.

So the bike would only be able to move 6", so that the wolves can keep up.

Wolves + bikes gives you ...

Movement phase = 6" move
Shooting phase = 0" move
Assault phase = 6" move


Also there is no mention of being able to join other units (while the wolves are alive) so your slow lords going to be an easy target.

Alright cheers, thought so. curses, re-think required

Actually, thats backwards. There is no mention of losing the Independent Character rule when taking wolves as an upgrade. They are not a retinue or anything of that nature, so they can still join units when being accompanied by wolves. But never-the-less, putting him on a bike with wolves isnt the greatest idea, but using the run move the way you described will indeed depend on who you are playing because the run moves are made in the shooting phase.

? sorry but it doesn't need to call them a retinue to be one. please read the retinue rules. The rule is simple if an IC starts the game with a unit he cannot leave then he counts as an upgrade character till they're all dead.

Tri is correct. By the strict letter of the rules, a Wolf Lord with Wolves has a Retinue and cannot join another unit.
