No, I think that they are built in. Should be fine.

This is what I had in mind, when I was talking about them going Wulfen to the point they cant comeback. Hopefully you guys can agree with me.

Here is my $0.02, basically when that barrier in their mind snaps and the wolf takes over the man, a timer essentially starts ticking. The wolf priests have the ability to command them as though they were a wolf lord and denounce the wolf to allow the man to take control. The first time they go wulfen, it is horrifying to them and they let the wolf have their body. If through sheer force of will (Ragnar's case since he almost wounded his charge) or through commands (being talked down by the wolf priests) the man is able to once again take control of the wolf, they pull through. Every single time the warrior succumbs to the wolf in the future, the wolf gets stronger. Wolf priests teach the man litanies to help control the wolf and to pacify it so that they can try and fight the wolf for control in battle. Basically it comes down to the marine. Some are strong enough to never fall prey to the wolf. It simply becomes a choice for the space wolf to "unsheath" the wulfen inside him once he has come to peace with it. This is, of course, my interpretation from reading the Space Wolf Omnibus for the fifth time ;p reading through the initiation part is the most enlightening

First off, Sakrileg those are awesome converions, i still dont know where people get these parts (been dying to make a SW looking dred and cant find thunderwolf sprews =\).

Second, on the subject of the thread, Wulfen don't go insane, they just become beserk towards foes, a full space wolf who turns into a wulfen can be tamed and made to join the pack (i.e. like an errant male who is put back into line by an alpha).

Its the initiates who never see the full Space marine transformation that go slightly loopy and are never seen again. But this is due to the wulfen not knowing how to deal with the transformation, where as a full brother would have memories and oaths to Russ and his lord.

I bought the box set from this website and it was fast and cheap.

Also thank you for the information. I just want to make my Space Wolves Army as unique as possible when I field them, but I dont want to grotesquely distort the fluff and respect what has been written.
