Laurentius Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Hello, so I'm considering the new Space Wolves as my first 40K army and I have a couple questions. First, since I love the model, I was wondering, are the Space Wolves allowed to field a Land Speeder Storm with Wolf Scouts? If so, is the Storm a good choice? I love the Storm and I think converting the Scouts on board the model into Wolf Scouts using bits from the new Wolf Pack would be a fun and rewarding project. Secondly, are Space Wolves allowed Ironclad Dreadnoughts? Also, how well do Space Wolves fair against other armies now with the new Codex? I know they are supposed to be nasty in close combat, but since they're Space Marines they're still well rounded right? Thanks!

VorpalDoom Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 SWs cannot use Storms or Ironclads... This continues to baffle me to no end. GW might not be so money grubbing, but they would have been TOO cool for wolves to have! I guess variation between the MEQ armies is required, and the Storm and Ironclad do set vanilla marines apart. As for how well we do... I think it's safe to say we hold our own. Different enough, and, in my opinion, more rounded than vanilla marines. More of our units can be equipped to handle any threat than vanilla marines, at a cost of course.

I do understand for balance reasons why they didn't allow such a beast though. Can you image 5 WS in a Storm w MM, 1PG 2PP and MoTW being able to come on from any edge. I would hold them and squeeze them and love them and call them Termie Killers.

An scouts not using shot guns ins't really a big loss. Your scouts have counter-charge in addtion they are able to come in on any board edge on a roll of a 3+ after you get your reserve roll passed. The ability to be on any table edge on a 3+ alone is a very powerful tool in itself! You have no idea how many times Snickrott (Orcs) Using ambush skill. This character model has turned the tide in a battle by coming in and slaughtering entire groups troops or armor from behind with a full squad of commandos. Having those two skills alone are very powerful and rewarding in itself. Compared to being in a transport that moves very fast and yet can be knocked out of the sky before you can get close enough to unload your payload or having to walk the entire battlefield. Although we did get something far better in my oppion and it does provide a good answer to the chaos demons bloodcrushers. The thunderwolves are a very fast, tough and powerful unit if geared right. In addtion thunderwolves are the one of the only few non-character models that has rending power weapons. In addtion str 10 powerfist or hammer.

WolfLordLars Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Storms are no big deal either way. If we had gotten them, great.. if not.. oh well. I would think that OBEL wouldnt work with it though. The shotguns, on the other hand, annoys me. Especially because as soon as they got worth taking I went out and bought a box of marine scouts and converted them to wolf scouts... and now I am having to unconvert them to sell them off.
