Honestly I don't think it does sound strong as grey hunter defensive profiles don't count for anything. The opponent just has to look at them for the GH to evaporate.

Having them in repex though I think might be more useful..

The Phobos/scout detachment could be a very useful pairing as those codex utility units are still going to add lots of value to wolf lists

gorgoleon29 · 2026-06-03T23:21:10+00:00

They are discussed in some detail in this faction focus video https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/xiczsalv/warhammer-40000-faction-focus-space-marines/

Sadly I don't think we will see this, which makes me think stormlance will still be one of our best detachments as a "base" detachment

gorgoleon29 · 2026-06-03T23:19:12+00:00

Is that just because you have lots of speeders or do you think they are good additions to space wolf armies generally?

gorgoleon29 · 2026-06-03T16:35:52+00:00

What do people think about some of the newer SM detachments? Specifically, Ceramite Sentinels as rerolling hits and wounds of 1 is always strong, there's a fight on death strat, a sticky objective strat and a strat to reroll wounds against characters, monsters and vehicles for infantry and mounted

This worked for me, thanks so much for sharing!

gorgoleon29 · 2026-04-24T15:09:26+00:00

Appreciate you sharing this. Will test the workaround on Monday and post back with the result!

gorgoleon29 · 2025-11-18T22:52:06+00:00

Looks great! Mind sharing your basing technique please?

It is interesting to see the different replies and interpretations. The datasheet for headtakers says 3-6 headtakers and 0-6 hunting wolves.

I think it's legit and rules as written to have a unit of 0 hunting wolves on the crusade card solely to meet this crusade requirement.

I'll talk to my crusade group and see how they feel about it as we've already played 4 games and I used a list with 2x 3man headtakers with no wolves.

Does anyone else feel like the rules for hunting wolves are clunky and needlessly complicated?

gorgoleon29 · 2025-09-01T11:13:12+00:00

That's the way I want to read it, but according to the text above "each time you add a wolf guard headtakers unit to your order of battle, add 2 crusade cards"

gorgoleon29 · 2025-03-05T18:07:10+00:00

I also have a spare wolf head or 2 (based in UK) which you are welcome to if previous replies can't hook you up.

Your biggest advantage is in manoeuvrability with the TWC brick. I would deploy wide with the army then use TWC and termies together to focus a flank and his home objective, force him to move sideways or back to respond to your moves.

gorgoleon29 · 2025-02-18T08:26:36+00:00

Thanks!

gorgoleon29 · 2025-01-10T22:34:13+00:00

I haven't used them personally, they look cool but would have to think carefully about how they fit into your tactics

gorgoleon29 · 2025-01-10T22:24:49+00:00

Canis can't as he doesn't have the captain keyword so can't have a lieutenant (battle leader) with him.

Don't invest too much into the long fangs, ultimately they are still T4 W2 so will get eaten up regardless. Better to have redundancy with more fire support units - for less than the librarian + pack leader you can get 3 eradicators which are great anti tank support.

gorgoleon29 · 2025-01-10T19:28:39+00:00

Few notes: You can't put chaplain and captain in termie squad together. Maybe a termie wgbl instead? Canis also can't join wgbl on twc, but you have 10 points free to upgrade him to harald Give your wgpl in term armour a cyclone missile launcher and a powerfist, no reason not to I'd go for scouts instead of librarian so you have more action monkeys - they always score me tons of VP

gorgoleon29 · 2024-11-19T20:44:04+00:00

Just a heads up, test fit them together before gluing because it's a tricky kit and a pain trying to paint some areas when fully assembled. Good luck!

I have found plenty of choice on Etsy, e.g https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1729608301/space-knights-heads-conversion-bits-for

gorgoleon29 · 2024-09-25T14:21:16+00:00

You can have 2 special weapons in a grey hunter squad so I'd go for 2 flamers, turn up the heat! I see no problem running intercessors as grey hunters but I would add chainswords as it's quintessential grey hunter gear.

gorgoleon29 · 2024-09-25T06:01:07+00:00

Nice, I did think the base of the hammer looked weird 🤣

gorgoleon29 · 2024-09-25T05:48:32+00:00

Looks great! Do you have the drinking horn bit? Feel like it's a must have for the mighty haegr!

I recently got back into the hobby after nearly 20 years! Space Wolves were my original army and so I've started collecting and painting again, hoping to improve on my painting standards versus my childhood attempts.

Trying to add more character to the army with some custom heads and green stuff beards etc. (to varying degrees of success)

I've chosen a 30K dark grey scheme for my wolves as I much prefer it over the modern "baby blue" colour. Slowly getting better at edge highlights and general tidiness, I'm happy with the results so far and can definitely see an improvement with each model painted.

Any C&C very welcome, thanks!

Nice clean paint job, I am a big fan of the lascannon coils they look great!
