Wolf Lords have an extra attack for the same cost! They can take 4 of them, so why dont we see more list that takes advantage of having the option of adding a wolf lord and a wolf guard to a unit of 8 grey hunters in a rhino. Its not the best cc unit in the world but it will demolish anything that is not a dedicated cc unit.

I think having the option to add a wolf lord and wolf guard to a grey hunter unit with a meltagun is good but maybe I am suffering from codex jelious?

What do you think?

Problem is, it makes the Lord too static. Grey Hunters are great in defensive postures. If you go that route then the Wolf Lord is wasted in that Rhino.

Ir you want to take advantage of Wolf Lords and their HTH awesomness, take 2 or 3 on thunderwolves and attach them to either a small twolf unit or a massive unit of ferensian wolves.

I run a Wolf Lord with a Thunder Hammer and Storm Bolter. He works well in a static position, but then I usally fave Orks, Nids and Marines.

The wolflord is a tab bit to expensive for this tactic maybe wolfguard battle leader instead 1 less attack but less expensive. Having 4 troop choices that are all really good in cc, but would be hard to find something to compliment an army like that.

Yes, thunderwolf mount is the best upgrade in the game never thought about adding them to a large wolve squad though.

I don't have my codex handy. What are you comparing the wolf lord to when you say it has the same cost? As for my experience with a wolf lord. I prefer it over a wolf priest and wolf guard battle leader for assaults. I've used it attached to a 10 man skyclaw assault pack. I have been impressed by the lord with saga of the warrior and power weapon and been severely dissapointed by the skyclaws. I'm thinking of putting him with swiftclaws next time I field him. He wiped out a squad of firewarriors by himself in one turn. So have to love taking him, just have to put him in a spot where you can make the most of his abilities.

I would rather bring a rune priest with the psychic goodness My load out is.

2 rune priests 1 wolf priest. This seems to give me all the flavor I need.

I am comparing it to the basic captain that you get in the other recent marine codexes.

I dont know how phil kelly was able to talk his peers into an extra attack which you then combine with the extra attack from the thunderwolf mount and you have 5 base attacks.

Wait I just notice something they have to pay to get an invulnerable save.

They pay a lot to get an invulnerable and the wolf guard battle leader can't take one. That's why I go with a wolf lord so often.
