Hi I have literally never played a blood angels army in my life (must just be my local meta) and I have a game against a bangels player tomorrow. What sort of things do they bring to the table, and what space wolves units are effective against them? Thanks.

Bring grey hunters. Profit. You think I'm kidding, just try it. Space Wolves don't have to try very hard at all against BA.

Since ba all have the rage usr, try and use it's advantages against itself. I.e send up a nice squishy unit that isn't important to your list, e.g. Rhino. Then charge in with the bigger units, this is the kauyon, where you lead your opponent into a trap.

Watch out for Furiosos and their deep striking shenanigans. Other than that, you should really have nothing to worry about in the slightest. Space Wolves can do most anything that Blood Angels can, but for cheaper.

There is so much wrong with this I'm not even sure where to start..

Yeah, I wish BA all had the rage USR.

I just suggested to pull off his units one at once, into this trap. if there are less Units together this gives the space wolves an advantage, especially if you can draw them off an objective. anyways, even if the unit doesn't have the rule, it still gives an advantage. Lol, SOS about that mistake, haven't played them in a while...

Rage doesn't even force you to charge stuff anymore.


And trust me BA players, Rage isn't all the rage, pardon the pun.

What sort of tricks can they pull? Apart from grey hunters, what swolve units are effective?

What sort of models do you have at you disposal/are likely to face?

Look out for furioso dreadnought's deepstriking in. They wreak whole infantry squad's without even trying. So shoot them asap. Other than that, not too much to worry about, just think of them as marines otherwise.
