Is an all Wulfen army viable?

Like only Wulfen Murderpacks? Probably not.

Not enough ranged anti-tank or board presence. But I very well may be wrong.

Anti-tank is running over and murdering them.

Depends on if your opponent can field a flying Transport or not.
Wulfen can't attack the sky and even if they weren't templates Frag can't hurt anything above AV10.

Fly around blasting the Wulfen off the field for three turns, clearing anything close to deployment zones, then drop your passengers on an objective that qualifies them for linebreaker and hopefully more then go hunt for their warlord or some more points.

I don't break the rules but I'll bend them as far as they'll go.

Against the faster tank lists they might struggle to reach combat, notice how I said ranged anti tank.

Also, as stated, flyers would give them a hard time.

Would be pretty funny to see it against a DE venomspam army.

It is, but only if you howl before every charge.

Yep that would be fun or anything with a couple of S8 AP3 blasts...

So, the answer would be that you'd probably do half decent against a number of armies, but there would be a fair few hard counters out there that would mean you'd get wiped out pretty easily...

Oh, and I've come up with a semi-expanded Shadow War idea and need some feedback! https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/726439.page

biggest problem I see is that you're giving up the wulfen curse thing and you'll take a serious beating against a shooting focused army. Regardless of run+charge, wulfen still only move 6+D6 a turn.

You could do it. It'd probably be better than most only-one-thing armies.

"Got you, Yugi! Your Rubric Marines can't fall back because I have declared the tertiary kaptaris ka'tah stance two, after the secondary dacatarai ka'tah last turn!"

"So you think, Kaiba! I declared my Thousand Sons the cult of Duplicity, which means all my psykers have access to the Sorcerous Facade power! Furthermore I will spend 8 Cabal Points to invoke Cabbalistic Focus, causing the rubrics to appear behind your custodes! The Vengeance for the Wronged and Sorcerous Fullisade stratagems along with the Malefic Maelstrom infernal pact evoked earlier in the command phase allows me to double their firepower, letting me wound on 2s and 3s!"

"you think it is you who has gotten me, yugi, but it is I who have gotten you! I declare the ever-vigilant stratagem to attack your rubrics with my custodes' ranged weapons, which with the new codex are now DAMAGE 2!!"

"...which leads you straight into my trap, Kaiba, you see I now declare the stratagem Implacable Automata, reducing all damage from your attacks by 1 and triggering my All is Dust special rule!"
