I searched around, but couldn't find a thread on this one.

If I have a Lord with Thunderwolf Mount joined to a unit of Fenrisian Wolves, does the Thunderwolf Mount give him the Wolfkin rule that allows the unit of Fenrisian Wolves to re-roll their Morale?

Here are some references:
p.62: "A character with a Thunderwolf Mount has the unit type of cavalry..."
p.34: "Wolfkin: Any unit of Fenrisian Wolves may re-roll any failed Morale tests if they are within 12" of a Thunderwolf Cavalry model."

Does the Thunderwolf Mount that makes the Lord cavalry make him a "Thunderwolf Cavalry" model?


What about a Lord with Fenrisian Wolves as wargear that is within 12" of a Thunderwolf Cavalry model?

As far as I know the character in question has to have the appropriate saga. Canis has this rule built in.

Confusingly, there are several things in the SW book known as Wolfkin.

I think you are referring to the "Saga of the Wolfkin", which makes all wolves I5, Ld 7. Canis has "Lord of the Wolfkin", which gives all wolves within 12" his Ld 8.

I'm asking about the Thunderwolf Cavalry special rule "Wolfkin", which allows Fenrisian Wolves within 12" of a Thunderwolf to re-roll failed Morale tests.

Essentially, does a Lord on Thunderwolf Mount get the Thunderwolf Cavalry special rule "Wolfkin"? This would let him re-roll his Ld 10 if joined to a unit of Fenrisian Wolves.

No a Lord(or battle leader) on a T-wolf does not have the Wolfkin rule. That rule is only on the Unit Thunderwolf Cavalry.

If you want your IC on a Thunder wolf to give the Wolves any benefit you must take Saga of the Wolfkin, and then you only get the benefits listed in the saga.

Alternatively you can take Canis who has his own abilities.

Or join the Lord/Battle Leader with Saga of the Wolfkin to a unit of T-wolf Cav to get both bonuses.

So if a Lord on TWolf is joined to a unit of Fenrisian Wolves and they are within 12" of a Thunderwolf Cavalry model then the Lord's squad re-rolls Morale on his Ld 10?

no, because ity is no longer a unit of fenrisian wolves. It is a unit of wolves with an IC attached.
