the great beaver Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 do wolf guard bodyguard count as retinue? can my wolf lord be picked out amongst them? what about fenrisian wolves? do they form a retinue with the character? the wolf guard squad is not explicitly called a wolf guard bodyguard squad but in the box under their section it states "...wolf guard not only act as bodyguard for the lords of fenris..." what's the deal here? fenrisian wolves are an upgrade to him so would form a retinue but what about wolf guard?

Thorgrim Blackwolf Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Wolf Guard no longer form a retinue for the Wolf Lord or any other IC as the BRB states that a retinue is a unit which the character cannont leave e.g. Arjac Rockfist. I have already had this debate at my local GW as I'm not happy about losing the retinue rule. :) . I'm not sure about Fenrisian wolves.

the great beaver Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 well he can't leave his fenrisian wolves so I'd say yes to them... now they work like the tau frisbees except without invulnurable saves :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/179186-2-questions-about-new-codex/#findComment-2120265 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every dex, started losing it. However, I think we were thrown a nice bone in Arjac.

WolfLordCanis Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 So can you still run a wolf lord with a unit of wolfguard then ??? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/179186-2-questions-about-new-codex/#findComment-2120287 Share on other sites More sharing options...
the great beaver Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 it seems that a lot of our options have been given to us in the form of characters...bjorn instead of heavy dreadnaughts comes to mind...

Thorgrim Blackwolf Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I apologise if that came off as complaining. I am very happy with the bits and pieces that Phil Kelly has given us and I realised that with the current trend, apart from the IG codex, that we might lose it. I just expected us to keep it because it is heavily referred to in our fluff. Ah well, can't win em' all <_< .

El Scotcho Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Yeah, we don't have it anymore, which sucks because it would give me some really good reasons to convert up a wolf lord and retinue riding t.wolves, all of which were from the same pack (both the space wolves and the t wolves).

the great beaver Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 it would also encourage me to use my wolf lord with a unit of wolf guard.... alass it's just not worth it putting that much into one basket if you don't get any safety for it Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/179186-2-questions-about-new-codex/#findComment-2120478 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valerian Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 So can you still run a wolf lord with a unit of wolfguard then ??? The Wolf Lord (Independent Character) can attach to a Wolf Guard Pack (unit), just like he can attach to any other unit. They no longer count as a Retinue, so the Independent Character can leave them if he wishes, and can be picked out in close combat (e.g. he is no longer "hidden".)
