Wolf Guard Hengist Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 So before I start I know we can use the generic Space Marine Apoc formations such as the Line Breaker squadron etc but I have a little bug bear at the minute. When the Guard codex came out the White Dwarf mags that followed the release of the codex featured a couple of Apoc formations as well as the appearance of a couple on the GW website. When I saw this I got my hopes up that following the release of our most beloved Codex we would also be treated to one or two Wolf Formations mainly a Space Wolf version of the Battle Company ie Great Company. I waited.... and waited.... and waited but nothing so I thought oh well they must not be intending to do them anymore I can live with that. But then I open this months copy of White Dwarf following the release of the Nids last month and what do I see? Nid related apoc formations I did'nt even bother reading them in a mardy strop I was that pee'vd off. So the point of my rant is why did we lose out? I've probably answered my own question by stating that I know we have Space Marine formations already but I just feel that a new Wolfy fomration would have been nice and consistant. Oh well rant over. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/191290-space-wolf-apoc-formations/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldenhaller Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I think it's most likely that as the marine ones can be applied to the wolf codex (with a little heavy shoe horning) then to have extra wolf only ones on top of sternhammer's wulfen guard would make things unbalanced on the part of th wolves. This is especially true as there were less nid ones in the original book than guard or marine ones alone... ~O Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/191290-space-wolf-apoc-formations/#findComment-2269345 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPetersson Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 And, according to my housemate, almost all of the nid ones don't work due to the changes in the new codex... And as you say, we can use the Marine formations, they can't...

Hfran Morkai Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Can you imagine GW trying to define a Great Company, as I've experimented myself you simply cannot encompass everything a Great Company could be, they're too flexible as opposed to a Battle Company.

Chucku Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 With a few notable exceptions I've never seen the advantage of Apocolypse formations. Too pricey for what you get.
