I’ve been starting to roll out the ‘wolves onto the table, and I have to say when looking at some of the other guys at the club, and the internetz as a whole I’m kind of surprised by some of the lacking Space Wolf builds out there…
Why are like all the ‘wolf armies I see either razorback spam, as the lines between Blood Angels and ‘wolves thins to just be all razorbacks, or all T-wolf cavalry- which I can at least understand from a WAAC mindset.
Where is Arjac? Bjorn? The Trickster? Wolf Scouts? So many possibilities in the ‘dex are falling short. I do agree that wolf claw terminators got hit with the points. So I’ve got a back of scouts that often work the outflank. Need to keep them mobile with the ability to move, shoot, and assault, so plasma pistols, melta guns, and bombs are the way to go. That’s not to say they always outflank- infiltrating is good for when I need them as a speed bump and not a siphoning unit. A siphoning unit is one that deploys on the side of the battle to lure off a unit or two of your opponent’s so your army deals with less of them coming directly at you. If the scouts had a missile launcher and cloaks maybe, but then I’d be codex marines. Plasma and melta are short range so they need to be in the path of anything incoming.
More SW shenanigans on the way, I’m at 1500 points, and working my way to 1750…
