dswanick Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I don't know if many people have noticed this yet, but there is an additional reason to take a Fen.Wolf Companion for a Wolf Lord on Thunderwolf (and/or attached to a TWC unit) beyond the ablative Wound and extra model in Close Combat. Thunderwolves are Cavalry. Cavalry have Fleet and Hammer of Wrath. Fen.Wolves are Beasts. Beasts have Fleet and Move through Cover. Move through Cover states "A unit that contains at least one model with this special rule rolls...", so having a Fen.Wolf gives the Lord (and attached TWC) Move through Cover in addition to Fleet and Hammer of Wrath. Not too shabby for a 10pt upgrade. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/267194-thunderwolf-cavalry-lord-and-fenrisian-wolves/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godhead Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 So is it only the "model that has move through cover"that benefits, or is MTC passed along to the entire unit? Seems like just the model with the rule.
