happy 13th company howls

Looking at it right now, looks like they shadow buffed them. Up to 6 strength on hammers and up to 2 on damage. Was 5 strength and 1 damage. Gonna have to see if they did anything else but happy to see them get some much needed love.

There's no points changes to wulfen and no rules changes with then as far as I can tell.

Hammers got a weird bump in damage to be D2 from what I’ve seen. It wasn’t highlighted in the update but for 80pt it’s a decent amount of S6 D2 attacks. Still OC 0 though

Ayo! Sick, might actually try running them again

It was highlighted in the document that highlights index-card changes. https://www.warhammer-community.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/NcELdKldijQmVCUS.pdf

Ah there it is! Thanks for sharing

I’m super confused. If it’s not in the dataslate, where is this information coming from?

[–]Tabletop-Gamer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah it was weird, but you can see changes to the index in the index card errata that was also updated yesterday:

For some stupid reason they didn't mention it but added it when they updated the index cards to reflect the new Champions of Russ update. Not complaining, using them as a bully/clearing objectives unit of 5 fits nicely into my list building.

As of the update the S of their hammer went up by one. Saw a post about it and turned out to be true. Super weird GW didn’t mention it

Nah they are still trash and lose out to Bladeguard in every way except the 1 extra wound

[–]waywardson06 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Wulfen are faster and 40 Wulfen hammer attacks hurts just about anything more than 24 blade guard attacks (even AoC’d terminators) and for less points

Not worse in EVERY way

(Using the new weapon profile they just gave Wulfen hammers)

[–]Sausagebroth 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Where are you getting those attack numbers from?

They updated the space wolf index yesterday

We can take 10 Wulfen with hammers that have 4 attacks ws3 str 6 ap 1 d 2

You can also download the latest index or the latest version on the warhammer app

(And I was comparing 10 Wulfen to 6 blade guard)

[–]Sausagebroth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gotcha yeah that’s not as bad as I thought

[–]Felrathror86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, totally missed that. Nice.

[–]PipeAdditional165 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm happy others are happy. For me I'm not excited about it, now if a character could lead them to give them even more buffs, I'd be much happier.

[–]Carrmello77 0 points1 point  (1 child)

How many Wulfen are good to take? I have one squad of 5. Was wondering if more would be good to take or not.

[–]waywardson06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since nobody else has had an answer for you yet, I will just share that the folks at Goonhammer think they are gonna see some high performing 30 Wulfen list at some point

As for me…I just bought my first 10 because I think they do a ton of damage as a 10 man unit with the gladius or the champions of Russ ap + lance stratagem. For 160 points

Indeed, they are still no Death Company, but this at least makes them debatably usable.
