dudelord Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Hey, I searched a bit for this as well... I just don't think I know how to use the search function... I was wondering, if I wanted a Wolf Guard pack, as well as some leaders for my squads, would the minimum I have to buy be 4? (I know this may seem like a stupid question, but I've seen a couple people seemingly contradict it on the Army List section, so I just wanted some clarification) Basically what I'm thinking is, in order to take any wolf guard you have to take 3, but a wolf guard pack by itself would also require 3. Therefore if you wanted to take a wolf guard pack and have 3 more units lead by Wolf Guard, you'd need a minimum of 6 to start with. Is how I'm thinking about this right?

dublindawg Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 The size of a WG pack is 3-10 members. So the min you need to purchase if you are taking them to be GH pack leaders is 3. If you only need 2 then the 3rd would operate on his own or you could have an IC join up with him. While this has been discussed quite a bit lately, people are using different topic lines so a search may not pull up what you are looking for, or pull up just about every thread. Best way is to flip through the pages and look. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/181679-wolf-guard-packs/#findComment-2150519 Share on other sites More sharing options...
muzzyman1981 Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 This is how I've looked at it. The bare minimum you can get is 3 Wolf Guard after you do that you can split the unit as you see fit. They have that special ability that you don't have to keep the bare min in the Wolf Guard unit.

dudelord Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 Thanks for your replies, and sorry for posting a question thats already been asked. One last thing though. I re-read the codex entry and it says they're split before the battle, which I assume means when choosing the army they must fulfill requirements, but right before the battle they split and so don't have to anymore. Does that mean that the entry for their numbers (Wolf guard 3-10, Grey Hunters 5-10) doesn't indicate the size of the squad that must be fielded, merely the amount you can buy for a single FOC slot? I know it doesn't really matter too much, just trying to get my head around the rules.

muzzyman1981 Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Exactly. When you take Wolf Guard there must be at least 3 on the field but after they are bought and equipped they can be set to lead other packs or whatnot. For example 2 can go to lead a GH and a BC pack each and the 3rd will just mull around =P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/181679-wolf-guard-packs/#findComment-2150593 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rokafort Stonewolf Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 It also means that if you take a wolf guard pack of size 0 you can still buy a dedicated transport for them (ie, you took 3 and make them pack leaders). Useful sometimes to get an extra razorback/rhino or even a pod or LR at times.
