Trake Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Hey I'm new to Space Wolves as I've been trying out some other armies and then took a break from 40k. I had no idea that Space Wolves were so awesome but I found out after the latest codex "mistakenly" walked over to my house from my friend's. I didn't have any choice but to read it. And it was good :P *drools all over keyboard* It's what I've always wanted: A team that has some proper fluff that isn't stuck up. It's like the complete opposite of Ultramarines. Thank God Space Wolves had a Codex written by someone with a real brain. Anyway I need some help on finding a few starter sets that would help for a Space Wolf n00b like me. Thanks, Trake Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245333-bark-with-me-if-youre-my-dog/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaveriK Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 if your looking for dogs your in the wrong place. There's no barking here at the Fang. Just howls from wolves. Use the search function if you have any questions, chances are there are already several threads regarding your question.

hendrik Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 welcome to the fang! what did you find stuck up about the space marine codex? sure it contains some idiotic stuff like everyone wanting to be an ultramarine but besides that i actually think it's not that bad.

Arez Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Welcome to the Fang! Grab an Ale and listen to some tales And the Codex was written by someone with a brain but whoever modeled and took pictures of the units in it must've been shot with a lasgun or something cause they screwed up in some spots. any way a good starter set would be the Space Wolves Battleforcea and a Predator magnetized so you can make it into a Rhino or Razorback when needed.

Kassill Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Aye, welcome to the Fang little brother! *slides Mjod over* Drink up and have a seat! My recommendations for a starter like yourself would be: -Rule book, Codex, etc -2x SW Battle Forces (Make 40 grey hunters, 2 Drop Pods, and 10 scouts) -Rune Priest (either by GW one or kitbash one) -2 or more transports of your liking to get those Grey Hunters to the killing grounds quicker -Long Fangs (2 or more squads. Missile Launchers are a great all round choice) These are what I consider the meat of a Space Wolves army. Grey Hunters, Rune Priests, Long Fangs. After that, you can add or take away to fit it to your style. Whether it be add some Terminators or TWC or Swiftclaws etc etc. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245333-bark-with-me-if-youre-my-dog/#findComment-2968115 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missile Launchers are a great all round choice) no point for the rule book since 6th is coming out soon agreed agreed i say get a Predator kit magnetized to go to rhino or razorback when needed longs fangs-magnetize the arms Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245333-bark-with-me-if-youre-my-dog/#findComment-2968130 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forté Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Also...go for a SW battle force and a SM battle force. It'll give more variety in parts and special weapons.

Trake Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 Grabs the Mjod.*Drinks mjod* Don't you have something a bit stronger? Thanks for the tips (and mjod). You guys saved me a lot of time and money :) The Predator/Rhino thing sounds like a good idea and I'll be using forte's idea of using 1 SW Battleforce and a SM Battleforce instead of 2x SW battleforces to get some diversity. So hopefully I can get enough money for all of this stuff, but until then I can drool as I take a look at the models on the site. Thanks again.

If you just want a small force to get started get a SW pack box and a tactical marine box,that'll give you 20 power armored units.You could make grey hunters x15 then make a Rune Priest to lead them or buy the actual runepriest then make 20 hunters.

MeatGrinder Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 No dogs here, no wolves on fenris either. An awesome starter set is the SW battleforce. Haseverything you need to make a decent list. You can convert characters from the regular SW sprues too.
