Has that changed then ? In the old codex, TWC didn't rend if they had a power weapon of any sort.

Yep, apparently Rending is standard now and stacks with weapons.

This ^

makes me sooo happy, finally power and frost swords makes so much sense

He really doesn't need rending when he is striking s10

Damn. I was just reading about it in Mywiks codex thread and was going to edit my post. Cheers for the quick reply Paradigm.

True enough. However, it's a big boost for Power Sword/Maul/Lance and Wolf Claw using TWC. That, and a potential 19 for AP with a Hammer is not useful, but is still kind of awesome.

The Drop Pod makes sense for All Drop SW armies. You can put your terminators back in and restrengthen your first turn alpha...well for those people who still refuse to give up on terminators.

It is going to be a problem for SW being used as allies...The Emperors executioners are now the Emperors Taxi Service. Awh yeah.

I rather sacrifice S10 for 3-5 TWC with rending power swords hitting at I4 and still can put some hurt on a terminator. Power swords are so much cheaper than hammers or fists

His comment about S10 was because this discussion was started with people talking about the Iron Priest on TW mount.

Since you mention it though, there are a lot of great possibilities. Wolf Claws will be S6+Rend+AP3+Shred, Power Mauls will be S7+Rend+Concussive at init 4. A lot of strong mixes available.

Yeah I hadnt thought of that, maybe space-hamster-man is worth running sometimes now

I am just wondering does he still get his servitors and Cyberwolves.

Get a unit of 4 with frost swords, put an IC with frost sword and the wulfenstien to give them all furious charge. Now you have buttloads of S7 ap3 rending attacks on the charge, all at I4.

how many points is a wulfenstone?

I will know in 4 hours when I get my codex. No one has given us relic costs yet.

Some seem nice, but it all depends on the price.

50 points for a Thunderwolf, I believe, and he can join any unit (not just TWC). For an Elites slot, he's not bloody bad!

Attach him to some TWC for 2+ tanking, and 5 extra (Rending!) TH attacks.

HE'S AN ELITES SLOT? HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS?!

by the way, small thing really but is fenrisian wolves still not capable of capturing objectives?

How does this work? I thought you could only deploy in dedicated transports.

Rumors I saw linked to from BolS say they can contest. I'm not sure about capturing (my German is not that good).

Also don't TWC lose rending if they take special weapons?

Not any more, apparently.

anyone with codex can confirm if ulric has prefered enemy against anything or just a unit type like regular wolfpriest?

Ulrik confers preferred enemy to units within 6" without restriction to a certain unit type, he looks pretty good in my opinion.

If thats true, ulric is the best HQ of the new Space wolves for 145 pts hes awesome

I can finally use my original as him rather than an ordinary Wolf Priest.

oes he still give the +1 WS to a IC still?

Malthor do you have the Lone Wolves entry handy?

Oof, wow that is a bit pricy. I guess it would make a nice addition to a death star though. Think you could hook us up with point cost on armor of russ and the fancy hat that twin links shots? All the other relics seem a bit lack luster. A bolter and frost sword with helfrost? eh.

I would also like to know more about lone wolves. I read that they don't take a force org slot if you have a troop choice or something? The elite slots seem really packed right now.

Ding ding ding, we have a winner, I guessed last night the Wulfenstone would be 40... just too pricey for what it does unless you want to make a deathstar TWC unit.
