One thing that always bugged me about Lone Wolves was this: If it survived the game, you lost a VP. So you'd want it to die. But you'd want it to take something down with it, or it would be a pointless waste of points. So you'd bulk it out with gear, so that it would be worth it. Then it'd just survive the game, and you'd lose a VP. It's a paradox. Plus, the enemy would just spend the entire game running their troops away from the Lone Wolf so

And yet, in their fluff, if they survive the battle and avenge their pack mates, they are usually promoted to the Wolf Guard.

So here's an idea. During the game, if the Lone Wolf either dies, or slays a certain number of units (10 minis, or a Monstrous Creature or Vehicle, for example), then you get a VP. That way, they're useful again!!
