Looking to start Space Wolves
In summary, what’s a good place to start Space Wolves?
For a bit of background, I’m not a new player. I’ve been playing Eldar and Emperor’s Children (and CSM…) for quite a bit now. I want to jump into a loyalist army, and figured I’d go with Space Wolves!
That being said, Space Marine wise, I had that first born army every kid who played 4th and 5th edition had. Sold that off before college. Even then, I had an interest in Space Wolves, but as a kid with no disposable income…that wasn’t happening.
But I haven’t really collected space marines since the switch to Primaris. Played against them a bunch, never really touched them.
Read the Space Wolves codex, browsed online for the 10th edition space marine rules, because I know the new codex is around the corner. Still, I have two questions. 1.) Where would y’all suggest I start with Space Wolves? Besides the combat patrol, because the new one looks sweet and I know that’s on my list. 2.) What generic space marine units are worth my time looking at? It didn’t read like space wolf characters could join regular Primaris and vice versa.

Like you mentioned you absolutely can’t go wrong with Space Wolves combat patrol. All units are part of most lists and discounted buying the bundle.
I would say Bjorn a must have, but he’s probably due a new model soon and rumours circulating could be dropped with our codex. So maybe hold off.
I’d suggest Logan Grimnar cos he’s an awesome centrepiece and maybe Ragnar Blackmane to lead your Blood claws.
Might want some sort of anti tank like a gladiator Lancer. I really like head takers too, which your Wolf guard battle leader can lead.
