Wolf Guard Pack Leaders Points Missing?


The Unseen

Recommended Posts

Was just skimming through the Space Wolf stuff, I don't normally play them, but two of my common opponents do, and I theorycraft, and I cannot find anything on how many pts a Wolf Guard Pack Leader costs, unless you put them in terminator armor, then their 31 pts. But how much is the standard power armor one? They have a cost of +2 when you use power points, but they don't seem to exist in the back with the points values.

 

Am I just blind or are they missing?

Actually I think they are worth 16 points the same amount as wolf guards hence why tda wolf guard pl are 31 same as tda wolf guard. Just was an oversight when they made the indexes. Just like the wording for terminators taking up 3 model slots instead of just two. So I would tell your friends to make them 16 points.

That's what I assumed at first, but it's the way already explained above. They cost the same as any other model in the unit. This was confirmed by the playtesters, too.

So it's the consensus of the ITC TO group (which includes 8th ed playtesters, and others in contact with GW about such things) that you pay for another BC (13 points) and the upgrade to WGPL is free (this is apparently what GW intended). As there are no points for it in the unit list, it's a free upgrade. So, you can legally run a BC pack consisting of 4 BC, 1 BCPL and 1 WGPL for 13 points each plus wargear. Neat!

With regards to upgrading to wgpl and not taking it additionally, has this been confirmed? I hoped it would be this case as it makes more sense with regards to what I own. Last I saw people where saying it was additional, though that was a little while ago.

It's as confirmed as it can get barring a contradictory official response from the GW team. It's why there's no listing for them in the unit points cost section of the Index. The only Wolf Guard Pack Leader upgrade you pay additional points for is the one in Terminator armor.
