Hi there. A small (or not so small as we talk of towering war machines) question regarding Freeblades and/or Knight of the Cog associated to other Imperium forces. How do you recommend selecting the Knight type and its tooling up? Do you foresee a Knight configurated to compensate some weaknesses of the army - for example a HtH oriented Knight into a gunline AdMech? Do you rather foresee a Knight configurated in order to amplify a strong feature of the army - for example a big firing platform supporting an Adeptus Militarum armoured fist company? Something else, like an odd configuration developped to work on its own and do its business independantly of the rest of your main force/cool factor/Unit with a specific purpose-preferred enemy type? I am planning to include a Knight in an AdMech army (or at least I was until I decided to wait and see how it would end up with the 10thEd rules...). I am really hesitating between something like a Warden (Case 1. with gauntler) vs. a Castellan (Case 2.). I see Errant (with missile pod) as a potential mid run between the two. Other option would be a Styrix based on the Category 3. (Others - cool factor, which is by the way how I designed my AdMech force so far). As I also own a qite significan First born SW force, any mutualization option could be great although non mandatory. But seen that I have almost 20k Pts I can literally tool up any game type wity these SW, from Heavy armoured to deep strike only force. So any type of combination would probably fit, even if I play rather Gunline with counter attack in general. Any opinion, clue or advise? Thanks

First 2000 point list I’ve made and would appreciate any and all input although I’ve not got too much flexibility as I’ve already bought and painted most of them...I won’t let it take all my money. I’ve decided to go with a list full of models that I like, hopefully relatively competitive and stays true to my idea of space wolves, particularly Iron Wolves. Please see below: ++ Battalion Detachment 0CP (Imperium - Adeptus Astartes - Space Wolves) [103 PL, 1,997pts, -2CP] ++ + Configuration + **Chapter Selection**: Space Wolves Detachment Command Cost + Stratagems + Relics of the Chapter [-1CP]: Number of Extra Relics + HQ + Canis Wolfborn [6 PL, 120pts] Chaplain in Terminator Armour [6 PL, 100pts]: 6. Canticle of Hate (Aura), Combi-flamer, The Wulfen Stone Wolf Lord on Thunderwolf [7 PL, 140pts, -1CP]: Resolve of the Bear, Storm shield, Stratagem: Warrior of Legend, The Armour of Russ, The Imperium's Sword, Thunder hammer, Warlord + Troops + Blood Claws [13 PL, 187pts] . 7x Blood Claw: 7x Astartes Chainsword, 7x Bolt pistol, 7x Frag & Krak grenades .

Fenrisian Great Axe and Blizzard Shield . . Blizzard Shield: Blizzard shield, Heavy flamer + Fast Attack + Thunderwolf Cavalry [14 PL, 315pts] . Thunderwolf Cavalry: Storm shield, Thunder hammer . Thunderwolf Cavalry: Storm shield, Thunder hammer . Thunderwolf Cavalry: Storm shield, Thunder hammer . Thunderwolf Cavalry: Lightning Claw, Storm shield . Thunderwolf Cavalry Pack Leader: Storm shield, Thunder hammer + Dedicated Transport + Rhino [4 PL, 80pts] ++ Total: [103 PL, -2CP, 1,997pts] ++ Created with BattleScribe The Plan: 1: Most Fun part - Run Wulfen Dred and Murderfang up the board to cause a raucous. 2: Wolf Lord + Canis + Thunderwolf Cav strategically run up board targeting the strong targets in strategic positions. 3: Intercessors stay and guard back line objectives 4: Redemptor + Grey Hunters march to the mid board for some flexibility with both Shooting and CC. 5: Blood Claws + Rhino + Lucas go up the board helping out by hopefully shredding some infantry or light vehicles if they have to. Could help out with midboard CC support. 6: Terminators + Chaplain drop in 2nd/3rd turn where needed to hopefully get a charge off. I’m thinking to clear objectives or assist with particularly tricky units. What are peoples thoughts on the competitiveness? I’ve not tried the list but had some fun with a similarly themed 1500 point list. My aim is to be a bit more competitive whist retaining the fun and heart of the army.
