Got a few Joytoy figures now, had the first lot of Infiltrators and then recently the Wolf Claw Pack. And you guys know nothing of mine stays "stock", with that in mind here is my random updates, bit swaps for these guys. I'm not a great sculptor and there is not a great many bits out there I can make moulds from, so it won't be ground breaking. I've started with updating the paint job on some of the belts, shoulder pads, weapons etc. Here I've removed all the wolf tails and doing repairs to the holes. For this guy I will have 1 single wolf tail on his belt and update the gold and re-paint the wold head. All my wolves carry firearms with red casings, so also an update on the paint job and took the wolf tail they randomly add to the knees (why?) filled the hole in it with green stuff and it will be attached to the Bolt Pistol handle. Progress will be slow on this thread as I'm just going to do bits now and again.

Shock assault Search and destroy Pursuit operations Punitive and excoriation campaigns "brutally swift" "a shock-assault force as well as tireless pursuers and a peerless hunter-killer force" "its campaigns unsubtle, but brutally swift" "Conditioned to hold a near-suicidal disregard for danger" "a force that has honed in battle against [..] their own wayward brothers" Aside from what is to come by official ruling, let's talk about the fluffside of tactics. To me the tactics that suit the Space Wolves' style of warfare best are as follows: Seeker-squads Sounds like they are made for the Space Wolves. I wouldn't be surprised if we got our own special unit substitution for seekers. They are the most "search and destroy" units the Crusade Legions army list has to offer. Drop-pods/airborne transportation "Suicidal" dropping into the heat and punishing precisely what has to be gone. Like a Wolf. Caestus, Storm Eagles, Spartans delivering pain exactly where it has to be applied. Fast units Continueing the above .. either by means of transports or wargear like bikes or jump packs our units should be fast straight where their force is to be applied. Anti-MEq This is another thing Space Wolves are about. Following dissidents. So let's bring squads designed to counter marines. By this I mean AP<3 .. Unit size Holding the line or win by attrition ..this is not the way of an execution force. So small veteran squads maybe fit more than large tactical blobs. Or don't they? No artillery As above. Artillery is cumbersome, cannot be deployed swiftly and has its place in attrition based warfare. Also: Furious charge over Stubborn. Those are the basic principles I design my army around. Feel free to object or chime in. What is your vision of heresy-era Space Wolves and their tactics right now?
