ptsgpbk Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Hello, I was planning on doing a chaos space wolves army, it would include me using Canis wolfborn but I wanted it to be under the world eater scheme of red and gold, which codex should I use and can I use models from opposite codices such as Canis in chaos or Khârn in space wolves, Thanks Ptsgpbk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcfr Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I don't think there's anything wrong with mixing and matching loyalist and traitor marines if your models are still abiding by WYSIWYG. I don't think your army will have a particularly cohesive look, but that's your problem, shouldn't be your opponent's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptsgpbk Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 Cheers, I just wanted to use the ferocity of close combat that both space wolves and khorne have in common Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fibonacci Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Just to be clear: Mixing models will not be a big deal. Mixing rules is a full stop no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevak Dal Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Arguably you'd have more flexibility with the Space Wolf codex, you wouldn't have to challenge, you'd get a discount on a second special weapon in 10 grey hunters and would have Counter attack built in. You'd also be Loyalist-Loyalists get the most support in both models and rules. Space Wolves have drop pods as well as the full access to imperial space marine tanks.

ptsgpbk Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 The rules wise part of it was only to apply mark of khorne to all space wolves that I had in the army Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacefrisian Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Cheers, I just wanted to use the ferocity of close combat that both space wolves and khorne have in common Comon mistake actually, World Eaters are plain ol butchers, Space Wolves are patient hunters who would wear there target down before landing the final blow, like real Wolves would do. On the table this means that Spacewolves actually do it better on midrange followed by combat where Berzerkers do Berserk stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henrywalker Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I run a khorne army with the space wolves codex called the oncoming storm (link below) I think the concept works pretty well with the codex. My army was based around a conversion of the forge world model Zhufor the impaler to Njal Stormcaller. Fluff wise the army uses blood-magic and is heavy on rune priests. I also am starting a sub-army with thunder wolf cavalry (juggernaughts) and fenrisian wolves (dire wolves) I agree that using the wolves dex will give you more flexibility than a dedicated khorne list in the chaos book. you really can't just give space wolves mark of khorne if thats what you were thinking. that would give you a large advantage for no extra points cost and without any real reason in the fluff. of course in the end your opponent is king, what they say goes.

Slayer le Boucher Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Searh on google for Blood wolves, Chaos Wolves or Khorne Wolves, you will find plenty of exemples and inspirations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptsgpbk Posted February 22, 2014 Author Share Posted February 22, 2014 Thanks for the replies, I bought dark vengeance last week and the chaos from that are what I am using for the space wolves, why could I use the cultists for? I was thinking scouts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellios Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I have two armies that use Codex: Space Wolves. I have about 7,000pts of Spaces Wolves, and 1,500 - 2,000pts of World Eaters. I use Flesh hounds as wolves, Brass Knights (Berserkers on Juggernauts) as Thunder Wolves and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xenith Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 To reiterate, you can buy and use whatever models in your army that you want, but you may not use rules from codex chaos marines and codex wolves in the same army. This means you can't give the mark of khorne to space wolves. Any wolves that got that far down the path of khorne would be chaos marines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptsgpbk Posted February 22, 2014 Author Share Posted February 22, 2014 Ok but I am not going to use mark of khorne but have ordered Canis wolfborn but which setup should I use 1-use it as the normal Canis 2-use it as a wolf lord on thunder wolf with talisman and 2 wolf claws and more accessories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fibonacci Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 [edited] If you have decided to use the Space Wolf codex for this army, you would get better advice about tactics and setup from the Space Wolf forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacefrisian Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Blood Claws may be a good bet for Berzerkers, they come with rage and counter attack, what Berzerkers or mark of Khorne guys have in codex chaos spacemarines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
