lothbrok Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 now i was reading the codex the other day and i was wondering what would happen if i was to take a wolf lord or battle leader with both the mark of the wulfen and the saga of the warrior born. would that character get D6 + slain enemeis for their attack value or is this against some rule or another.

Taeken Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I would read it as the base attacks get replaced by the Motw and then add on the Warrior Born bonus after that.

S. Bloodhowl Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Taeken is right, so it would be D6+1+number of enemies slain in the previous assault phase... ouch :P , I might steal that idea for a cheap Battle leader to lob at the enemy Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/208438-mow-question/#findComment-2487280 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Trivia Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Yeah but with a wolf lord you are replacing the guaranteed 4 attacks (with more than likely equipped with a wolf claw or frost blade etc...) with the possibility of 7 attacks that might be rend on a roll of a 6. Not sure if I would utilize the points I'm paying for a lord like that. Now I would agree that for a cheap and nasty WGBL or lone wolf, mark of the wulfen might be a tempting investment.

Tsavong Lah Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Unfortunately, Lone Wolves don't appear to be able to take Sagas. Wolf Guard Battle Leader, though... might not be a bad idea, for 120pts.

Valerian Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Yeah but with a wolf lord you are replacing the guaranteed 4 attacks (with more than likely equipped with a wolf claw or frost blade etc...) with the possibility of 7 attacks that might be rend on a roll of a 6. Not sure if I would utilize the points I'm paying for a lord like that. It might be fluffy for you, but it is really a bad idea to put Mark of the Wulfen on your characters, just leave it for your basic troops in Grey Hunter, Wolf Scouts, and Sky Claws packs. For them, it is a benefit as it increases average number of attacks, and gives them Rending. Your characters, however, already come with a decent number of attacks (especially Wolf Lords and Wolf Guard Battle Leaders), and have options to get weapons that always ignore armour saves. Why would you take an option that only ignores armour saves on a to-wound roll of 6+, when you could have a weapon that always ignores armour saves? Additionally, since getting good use out of Saga of the Warriorborn relies on your ability to cause casualties, in order to get up into the teens on your attacks, you are going to need to prevent your victims from saving against your wounding hits.
