Where to find what units we can use from the space marines codex and how to equip headtak

[whiteridder]

Well it are two questions. Where can I find if you can use space marine units like landraiders and so on. I cant find it in the space wolvea codex. Or do I miss something.

 

Abd how to equipnthe headtakers, is there a good build?

1.) You can; they just won't benefit from some of the stratagems. The 'codex' is a codex supplement.

The unit restrictions were in the FAQ of the space marine book IIRC. I'm not sure if that list is going to expand when our book fully releases, (I could see losing access to chaplains for example).

 

It's still kind of early to have a best build for Headtakers, and I think your choice of character is going to matter a lot. My initial plan is to run Ragnar with 3 with paired weapons, and a Wolf Priest leading 6 Headtakers with w/shields. That said the kit has separate arms for the shield and sword arms so I think it would be fairly easy to add magnets.

I am currently thinking of a roughly 50:50 split between axe/shield and dual weapons led by a Wolf Priest. The shield guys tank the damage while the Priest revives them. The dual-wielders lay down extra damage with +1 to Wound.

Can't mix them sadly "All of.." 

 

I can see a case for either, personally i'm leaning towards dual if you run msu 3 mans with a character like a wgbl as little murder missiles to stage and dish damage. Meanwhile 6 with shields with a Wolf Priest are more durable and with him bringing one back a turn and +1 to wound they'll still chop plenty 

Ultimately though...magnets 

 

Codex Space Marines will have the datasheets for the other things we can take as Space Wolves as well as what we cannot take.

I hope the SM Codex entry gets an update, considering there isn't a Long Fangs datasheet anymore...

I would not hold my breath on that. You can still play your LF in friendlies/pick up games though, just not organized tournament play AFAIK with how legends works
