Ok so I wanted to create an army including wolf lords and here are my questions:

1. Are frost blades different from frost axes in terms of fielding the same lord twice, just 1 with a frost blade and one with a frost axe?
2. Does Mark of the Wolfren apply to Lords trying to hit vehicles that moved or moved flat out?

All help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

1. Frost Blade and Frost Axe are the same peice of wargear

2. MOTW as in D6+1 rending attacks is always used no matter what you attack. So yes you use it to attack vehicles...but i have no idea what that has to do with their rate of movement

beat me to it.

MoW is useless on wolf lords unless you are playing fluff lists. Chances are you will get less attacks with the MoW then yiu would with the lord's base attacks.

Also can't combine the bonus from frost blades with MoW if that was your intention.

Oh wow. Thanks for the answers to the first question and the responces. But I made a hugely stupid mistake. I meant the Wolftooth Necklace that lets you hit on 3+ regardless of WS, no the MoW. Yeah so sorry and any answers to this new, I think a little more unclear, question are as always appreciated.

The vehicle would need to have a weapon skill for the Wolftooth Necklace to work.

Against most vehicles (The ones that do not have a weapon skill) the Wolftooth Necklace is useless.

But the exact wording never states that the target needs a WS for the Wolftooth Necklace to come into effect. It only says regardless of weapon skill. This could just be giving an example of a rule it overrides, the bottom line still is that it says in all combats you only need a 3+ to hit.

From GW's FAQ

Page 62 – Wolftooth Necklace
Replace the last sentence with “Against models with a WS
value, a model with a wolftooth necklace always hits in
close combat on the roll of a 3+.”

The FAQ specifically addresses this by printing an errata that states it only works against models with a WS.

Ah thank you very much.

ok questoin based on what has been said...

Some say yes, because the grenade rules are more specific.

Some say no, and claim the WTN will always hit on a 3+ against a model with a Weapon Skill.

And it has been debated to death here, so discuss it with your opponent pre-game.

As above.

I'm of the grenade rules being more specific idea, but its up for debate.

I am as well, The Grenade rules are more specific than the WTN, but some people do not see it that way.
