WIP: Space Wolf Army - not sure what codex to use ?

I'll be using the normal marine codex for my wolves, you can practically do everything with it for space wolves

 

Not really.. but hey, use whatever rules you like.

 

I prefer to use the best of both... our infantry and their tanks. ;)

Yeah, Death Company could be Wulfen or Bezerk crazed Blood Claws.

 

Im thinking outside of the box here and trying to make 5th Ed work for me rather than being pulled down by the negativity.

 

Frankly Im getting tired of all the bashing on this forum on GW and the various products they are releasing. Ive now heard the B+C being referred to as "Bitching + Complaining".

 

If BOlter & CHainsword is now being seen as "Bitching&Complaining" than maybe GW should recognize their failures in supporting their customers. If the complaints are getting so loud to change the reputation of a website populated by people who support the hobby, then maybe the hobby has screwed up.

 

thats just my 2 cents. me personally, i am going to use the SW codex regardless of how awesome the new marine codex is. why? cause Space Wolves make killing for the emperor look good.

their tanks?...no quite, if you play by the rules as written you get no predators since there are no more Annihilators or Destructors, and wolf ones cost more, you have to pay 5 more pts for our Vindicators, since our points costs are listed in the codex, but we do get whirlwinds 10pts cheaper.

 

our rhinos and razorbacks also technically cost more pts since again their also listed in the wolf codex

You should REALLY check the SW FAQ for 5th ed. We get to take every vehicle in the new SM codex.

 

Now, some folks say that we take them at the costs listed in our codex. I disagree with this opinion, those costs were listed as reference, and the FAQ backs that up to. We take tanks from C:SM for the points listed there.

 

Now, with the Rhino/Razorback, the English FAQ doesnt mention them, but the German one does. IMHO, if its a vehicle/walker and not listed in our codex (so, everything but Ven Dreads and the LRE) it comes from the C:SM.

 

 

Everything they can do, we can do better!

 

All your base are belong to us?

after reading the FAQ I agree

but this isn't Germany, and if someone brought the German version I couldn't read it to see for myself

 

the normal codex would do just fine

*shrug* however you want to do it. If you take a look at the German FAQ, its petty easy to tell what they are talking about, even if you dont speak fluent german.

 

Someone did the math, its not a huge difference between the two, depending on which armory you use. AFAIAC we are to use the C:SM armory for every vehicle upgrade, as our codex says to refer to C:SM and the vehicles in C:SM clearly list which upgrades you can give them. Alot of folks dont agree with me there, so the way you do it is up to you I suppose. For vehicles and their upgrades, I use C:SM.

Thanks Grey Mage i've been looking for it everywhere on the ancient UK site!

 

Major Buzzmore - follow the link above then click on the USA link, takes you straight to it. Great work on your minis by the way, which heads do you use for your Wolf Scouts? I'm liking them a lot!
