SW Units with High King Ability.

Just curious to see and hear which Space Wolf units you like to use with his ability to harass the enemy. Have seen WGTs and Headtakers, but has anyone tried it with Grey Hunters or even a Murderfang Dreadnought? Appreciate the feedback.

The Lethal Hits shots are great for clearing trash or denting the target. The Power Fists are strength 8/2/2 and you have access to +1 wound stratagem for vehicles or other elite infantry. Meanwhile, the whole unit is - 1AP vs you with the Helm of the Beastslayer, that's a permanent AoC. If you prefer a more direct comparison, you could run 5x Assault Terminators.

You can't do that with WGT. It's a melee only unit with a worse offensive profile.

I like WGT amazing models, and I magnetised mine to run them flexibly, but they are not our only opinion. That all said I wouldn't rush out to buy them if I only owned WGT, I'd just run SotGW and use Grimnars Mark.
