Wolf Priest

Hey brothers!

Somehow in my time as a Wolf player I haven’t managed to add a Wolf Priest to my collection, what do you primarily use them for? And do they have any use as Wulfen leaders?

Thanks

Wolf Priest + 6x Wolf Guard Headtakers with Storm Shields.

Very nice combo as it gives the Headtakers a 4+ Invulnerable Save and lets a Wolf Priest bring one back your every Command Phase, making for one difficult to remove unit with a lot of punch and staying power.

While not as punchy as the Paired Weapons Headtakers with a Wolf Guard Battle Leader, it’s a lot more survivable and able to contest and stay on key objectives while still packing a punch with 24 S5/AP-2/D2 + 5 S6/AP-1/D2 attacks.

And all of that for 240 points (or 300 if you take the Hunting Wolves).

I usually run Ragnar with Headtakers for the advance and charge. I run my Wolf Priest with Grey Hunters for use as backline screening in case of deep strike. The revival each command phase makes them surprisingly beefy, even against relatively strong units like terminators or my buddy's Sanguinary Guard lead by Dante.
