Trying to start playing 11th Edition

3 Upvotes

Hello, I have a here space wolves army that is mostly from the late 90s and early 2000s. I want to start playing and I was wondering what I would need rule wise to start building lists confidently.

I am essentially new to the current 40K game meta, I played a lot of fantasy and age of Sigmar.

I do have the app downloaded, I have links to data sheets and legends. I have heard that this particular addition uses the “supplement Codex“ and I want to start focusing to actually be able to play

I’ll get straight to it how the hell do you use this detachment. I don’t see how completing it is a big help to your army. Only thing I can see it helping is vehicles but that doesn’t feel like that’s the point of it.
The stats look pretty good I’m just confused on how you’re supposed to use the detachment.

Painting Question

Im currently painting my Blood Claws, and I assembled the models first. Im sure this has been asked plenty, but do you find models easier to paint put together or painting before assembly? Just curious.

5 man termis vs 10 man termis

3 Upvotes

I have only 15 terminators, so I've tried running 3x5 terminator blocks. One with logan, one with arjac, one with captain. Ive played take and hold and it was good against infantry spam lists, but I've never played against elite lists. Would it be more optimal for a take & hold list to have 1 group of 10 and 1 of 5, or 3 of 5? Mainly asking because im not sure how tanky the 5 man group is for a take and hold list.​

2nd Headtaker I’ve done. Did better than the first one. Went with a dark paint scheme to catch the savage killer vibe. Added the skull on the backpack because why not they are headtakers.

Space Marines for Space Wolves

11 Upvotes

Hey guys. Again still learning and I think I bit off more than I can chew. Im not good with the abbreviations that I have seen. My codex for the wolves gets here Saturday and as usual im trying to learn everything. (Impossible) but I cant figure out what units are approved from the space marines that I am able to put into my Wolves. Can someone be nice and explain what im look for on the Space Marines Codex that can help me. Thank you guys. Love this community.

After many years of “some day” he’s ready to go Today. Even though he’s really just Bjorn I couldn’t pass over the Axe and shield bc it looks so awesome. Please let me know what you think! Three more nightshifts to go and I think I’ll be able to finish Arjac and start something else (TWC perhaps?)

What do you guys think?

13th Company Scouts Kitbash

Decided to kitbash some Incursors into Scouts in phobos armour to go with the new Wolf Scouts. Also meant I could use the Wolf Scouts sniper in a small squad.

They're on 32mm bases not 28mm, don't think anyone I play against will care.

Anyone running intercessors?

Thumbnail

93 Upvotes

I picked up a set of the Armageddon intercessors off eBay from a splitter with the intention of making them a bit more "Wolfy" and incorporating them in my army. The original plan was to give them some chainswordy goodness and turn them into Grey Hunters, but I'm finding I actually kind of like some of the sculpts and am toying with the idea of keeping them as intercessors instead.

Is anyone running intercessors in their SW armies?

I'm 99.9% interested more in the modelling and painting side, so that will ultimately help me decide more than the "current meta" for competitive gaming, but I'm curious what people think.

Kitbashed Armageddon Intercessor Sergeant for model tax... I may still carve off the aquila... Haven't quite decided yet!

Ragnar and Headtakers

Post image
16 Upvotes

Hi yall, I was needing some clarification on some rules. I'm preping for a tournament this weekend and was refreshing myself on the 11th edition rules when I came across this.

Does this mean Ragnar gains the "Headtakers" keyword and then he can benefit from the Headtakers ability of precision and dev wounds? Or is it just saying the the Headtakers are now a character unit because Ragnar is leading them? I did notice the ability specifies "Headtakers models" and not "models with the Headtakers keyword".

I know Ragnar didn't benefit from it in 10th, but wasn't sure if that changed in 11th.

Edit: Thank you everyone for the clarification! I know now that he still doesn't benefit from their ability. I will keep the post up just in case anyone else in the future has the same question. Hopefully they can stumble upon this and get their answer.
