 I have about 40 points to spare in my 2,000 point list. I was wondering if adding a few Ferisian wolves to my characters would generally be worth it?

  On one hand if they don't have wolves with them they are harder to target with shooting attacks. On the other hand adding even one wolf will make the character a scoring unit, which is in short supply in a 13th company.

  It would be an easy way to make up the points, plus the characters can still join and leave units.

  What do you guys think?

 

It depends on how your characters are kitted out.

Here is my baisc list. I am sure I am forgetting somethings.

Lord with master crafted frostblade, bolt pistol, mark of the wolfen, belt of russ.

Runepriest with master crafted frostblade, bolt pistol, mark of the wolfen

Wolf Priest with healing balms, Bolt pistol, master crafted frostblade,

10 stormclaws with two plasma pistols, two powerfists, and a Vet Sergent with plasma pistol, powerfist, and mark of the wolfen

15 wolfen

15 wolfen

15 fenrisian wolves

3 bikers with two meltaguns. Vet sergent with powerfist, plasma pistol, and mark of the wolfen

5 longfangs with lascannons.

I toyed with the 13th company list for a while, and I gave every character three or four wolves so they'd score and not be dragging along an incredibly expensive bodyguard squad. With the crappy majority armor saves it might end up hurting them in the long run.

And am I missing something, or is that army list lacking troop squads? I see HQ, Elites, FA, and Heavy.

Wolfen can actually count as troops.

I read wolfen as fenrisian wolves. I always read the forums right before bed when I'm dazed from lack of sleep and alcohol. Not a lack of alcohol. You know what I'm saying.
