New stratagem

[Havok13]

The new stratagem "cunning of the wolf" can you only use this once or multiple times?

[Karack Blackstone]

What does it say, within its own writeup, how many Command Points is it, and it appears, if that's the shoot boltguns and equivalent weapons as if they were pistols, I personally don't know yet. I need to get Chapter Approved at some point soon.

It is the one where you can:

Use this stratagem during deployment, when setting up a space wolves infantry unit. You can set up this unit on the hunt instead of placing it on the battlefield.

It has a bit more to it but it's 1cp and does not state anything about using it only once. I think I need to re-read stratagem rules in the main rule book.

Then for each single Command Point you spend, you are able to put one Infantry unit as stated, "On the Hunt," and follow those rules as the Stratagem tells you.

 

Thus, for each CP spent, that's 1 unit on the hunt you are allowed. Just remember, unless otherwise noted, CP's never recharge. There is the possibility that SW's may get a way to restore, or have a chance to restore, CP's once our Codex lands, apparently Q1 (Jan, Feb, Mar or so) of 2018.

Just realised characters are also infantry. 15 man bloodclaw unit with ragnar can go on the hunt for 2cp and reroll charges!

That's right.

Wulfen wulfen wulfen. Biggest problem is them getting into charge range, this gets you there without having to worry about them getting shot off the board if you go second.

the only setback would be the matched play rule in which you can only use it once

Where is that stated?

This rule is often misunderstood. You can use the same strategem limited only by CP before round 1 begins.

Indeed, rule states you may use a stratagem once per phase. If you do this before the game begins there are no phases

[wilkco]

isn't Deployment a Phase though ?

[Arentius]

The finicky bit is phases only officially start during a players turn. Deployment happens “pre game”

[Havok13]

Looking forward to a codex stratagem that lets you "once per game in the charge phase all space wolves add 3 to their charge"

I'm struggling getting 9 inch charge even with rerolls lol

[Nrthstar]

Wulfen and aggressors with Deathwolf popping in with them are my top picks. Both need the shot range

99% sure this is correct, I also play admech, and the stygies forgeworld have a similar strategem to infiltrate units. As it stands at the moment you can use it as many times as you have command points as it's before the battle so not in a phase (phases are subdivisions of a players actual turn...movement, shooting, charge etc).

 

Big units of bloodclaws and ragnar could be useful with this, wulfen seem a very obvious choice too. Souped up plasma hunter squads wouldnt be too bad either to try grab objectives etc.

 

Against a vehicle heavy enemy sticking a squad of multimelta long fangs into their backyard could also be fun (if very situational) :)

The reason Wulfen are so attractive is it means we don't need to spend 400 odd points on a transport for them so if we really want to be mean we can buy a second unit of wulfen!
