I keep hearing about this "bark star" what is it.? Do they mean iorn priests and WGBL and stuff. What's the big deal.? That's been around for a while now.?

That page discusses it and has an example list. But basically it's a deathstar using oodles of poodles (fenrisian wolves) as its base/footprint/ablative wounds.

It's actually pretty new, ETC was the first major tournament where this particular combo made it's debut. The big deal is that it highlights/exploits a major flaw of 7th edition allies; namely that with special characters and psychic powers you can take relatively weak units and make them extremely durable and quite deadly.

Imagine 50+ Fenris wolves joined by Azreal (fearless, gives whole unit 4++ CHOOSES his WL trait) joined by a Librarius Conclave (+Tigarius) for ultimate buffing potential.

Though expensive an needing 3 codices to create, It can be THE hardest unit to kill in 40K, and it has boat loads of atx that can even kill IKs
