I am starting a new army D:

I don't normally play the game, but college is starting soon, and apparently there are alot of people who play going. But if I'm going to be spending so much money on this, I want to be able to play in tournaments as well.

So here is the question, would I be able to use a khorne based space marine army, but count as Space wolves?

I was going to have:

Wolf Lord riding thunderwolf (Khorne lord on bloodcrusher)
Battle leader (Khorne champion)

Wolf Scouts (Blood pact elite, no too skully, because they still have to infiltrate)
Lone Wolf (Crazy berzerker)

Blood Claws (Berzerkers)
Grey hunters (Veterans, been around since the heresy so Im going to use MK III armour)

Thunderwolf Cav (Zerkers on bloodcrushers)
Wolves (Mutant wolves, the OOP metal ones)

Land raider Reedemer


It will all be very WYSIWYG but with stuff like wolf tooth talisman will instead be human teeth/skulls, so it would be very similar. It is bandwagoning, but whatever, its my money.


Would you play against this? Would it be allowed at tournaments like 'Ard boys?

If you modeled them as Khorne-worshipping Space Wolf renegades no one would ever have a problem with you using either list.

I'd probably just use Grey Hunters in that list, but yeah, you've more or less made an army I've wanted to make since the plastic Bloodcrusher models came out. You're gravy.

As it will be clearly WYSIWYG you will be fine at most tournys (if you are worried send an army pick and the list to the organisers to approve).

You have gone to the effort of making a themed army that firs with the rules so most people will be fine.

as long as everyone is modeled with the proper wargear and its clear what model is what it should be fine.

Juggernaut = Thunderwolf should be easy enough to remember.
