Vanek Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 How many of you use them? Either by themselves or attached to an IC. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/239790-fenrisian-wolves/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schertenleib Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I use them on characters. Always run my Lone Wolf with two wolves. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/239790-fenrisian-wolves/#findComment-2892960 Share on other sites More sharing options...
old git Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Haven't yet but I'm currently building an Iron priest on a thunderwolf, he's going to be accompanied by 4 cyberwolves for a nice little unit. I picked up a set of chaos hounds to make the cyber wolves, the rest of them will be converted into fenrisian wolves to go with any character I want to change around a bit. The trouble with wolves as wargear for ICs is the transport issue.

Vanek Posted October 5, 2011 Author Share Posted October 5, 2011 That's the problem I have with them. I'll probably use one with a Wolf Lord or WGBL as fluff, and could throw them into a 7 man GH squad for some good times.

-Volsung- Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 As of late, I gave my wolf lord one single fenrisian wolf. Named him Ruff. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/239790-fenrisian-wolves/#findComment-2892993 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanek Posted October 5, 2011 Author Share Posted October 5, 2011 What models do you guys prefer to use for your wolves? The chaos ones look a bit too...chaos-y for my liking.

-Volsung- Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 At the moment, I am using the goblin mount from the warhammer fantasy wolf-riders, but they don't look as fearsome as I would prefer. I'm thinking of browsing Reaper or other companies for a suitable alternative. EDIT: Check this out from Reaper Miniatures: http://www.reapermini.com/graphics/gallery/4/03490_w_1.jpg It's the warg. Not sure how big the scale is, has anyone seen this model in person before?

postal105 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 i use Fenrisian Wolves both ways i find them to be effective in a pack of 10 or so to be a fast moving initial assault unit well my hunters catch up or as a screen for my units behind them. at the same time i find them to be effective when attached to my wolf lord or anyone who can have one if i have the points to do so and as there cheep and effective.

Wulfebane Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I'm the same as Schertenleib. I run 2 wolves with my Lone Wolf, and once my Ragnar conversion is finished, I'll likely run the two named wolves with him as well. I prefer the chaos warhounds over the goblin wolfrider mounts... altered, atleast. I go with a conversion process that's quietly stalking the internets.

Valerian Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Whenever GW decides to release a plastic kit for Fenrisian Wolves, then I'll probably include a couple for a Lone Wolf. Until then, nope, haven't bothered with them. Valerian Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/239790-fenrisian-wolves/#findComment-2893208 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arez Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I use the warhounds.I painted four to make them look like cyberwolves. I used a pack of 8 in a game not to long ago.I charged a Tactical squad of Ultras.The guy i was facing was suprised.I took out 3or 4 guys. I think they're a pretty decent unit.but they do die fast because of their 6+ Sv.

Haywire Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 My girlfriend runs converted White Lions from the High Elf Chariot for her Fenrisian Wolves. Her Thunder Wolves are being made from the Chaos Manticore bodies.

the Fell Hand Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I use them in most games in packs of 5. Everyone laughs at them and ignores them as they run around terrain doing nothing...until I charge and they realize they are fighting Fenrisian wolves B) Love them! Cheap, fast, effective.

Umm, not sure what this is supposed to mean. Well.. it's fairly evident when you pair it with the rules for Warrior Born.... You get a bonus number of attacks equal to the number of models killed during the previous Assault phase. If the wolves count toward that tally and manage to kill anything in the previous Assault phase, all of those killed get added to the Wolf Lord's attack bonus in addition to his own.

Schertenleib Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 My understanding of IC and wargear wolves: I believe in the FAQ it states that Wolves as wargear for an IC count as a seperate unit when assaulting. So an IC with wolves attached to a unit of Greyhunters would act as three units in close combat. So the wolves kills are not counted as the IC's kills, just as the Greyhunters' would not be. The one Space Wolf unit that doesn't encounter this is the Lone Wolf as he is not an IC.

So an IC with wolves attached to a unit of Greyhunters would act as three units in close combat. Correct. It wouldn't matter anyway as the kills of an ICs wargear, having their own stat-line, including their own attacks, are not his kills.

Blacksad Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 in larger point games I use a lot of them. I use Chaos Warhounds as Fen Wolves, and Vampire Count Dire Wolves as Cyberwolves. if you have a char with the saga of the wolfkin, they're initiative 5, which is a great deal of fun. that, and they're good at facing horde armies.

His wargear still has it's own models, statline, and attack rolls.
