Fenrisian Wolves

[Valerian]

Great Wolfs with Saga of the Warrior Born. Since they are wargear the count towards his kills. :)

 

Interesting, anyone contest that?

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.

Ah, gotcha. I get the reference now. :)

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.

^^^This^^^

Although, I'm not even sure a Lone Wolf's Fen.wolves should count towards "his" kills. His wargear still has it's own models, statline, and attack rolls.

 

Lone Wolf can't get Saga of the Warriorborn, so it is irrelevant to him anyway.

I prefer to use standard LOTR wargs for my Fenrisian Wolves. Since they are only 8 points each, I find it devastatingly effective to use several 15 strong packs as a screen for my numerous Thunderwolf Cavalry. Add a WL and a few thunder hammers. Who cares about fielding tanks, you can easily kill anything with this. Believe me, I have tested it thouroughly.

Sorry. The point I was trying to make is the Lone Wolf with wolves is one unit in CC not two.
