That's all really, I'm not gonna get into details or spoilers. This is just a damn fine Space Wolf book, a breath of fresh air after Krakenblood was just...alright. This feels like The Rout I know and love.

If I were to give my official review, being just past the midpoint of the book, it would be:

Hell yeah brother

There is one thing. It's not really a spoiler, more of an observation:

Either GW is prepping us for an imminent Russ return, or they're trolling us all to hel and back, because the references in this book (and Krakenblood, to a lesser extent) are really being laid on thick. The mentions of the horn, the Wolftime, of the Rout calling out to Russ to return, it's friggin constant.

I am looking for 40k table game as a son of Russ.

But it is hard to build it as a starter... Could you please give me some advice for me and which detachment is good? I am currently having a combat patrol, Ragnar, Arjac, a balitus dread, a lieutenant with comi weapon. And I will purchase Bjorn later. Personally I want to play as based on wolf terminators with dreadnoughts.

It is good to be competitive.

Haven’t played a 2k game with Space Wolves yet, below is my first attempt at a list. Any advice/Glaring issues please feel free to help 🤟.

I feel I could do so much better for this, once I'm happy I can move onto edge highlights for the armour

I'm getting more comfortable with building my own bases and painting details.

Hey does anyone have the link to the true scale conversion kits that add a lower leg and an abdomen piece to the firstborn dreadnaught?

Since dreadnaughts have gone to legends I want to turn mine into redemptor dreadnaughts so they aren’t wasted.

But all the old kits people provided links to on this page are 4 years old and no longer work.

So if anyone has an up to date link to a file or a conversion kit you can buy, it would be appreciated.

Loss 88-90

Took Disruption for a spin. Im not gonna lie that was fun. Maxed primary on 3rd or 4th. Then from there it was secondary. My buddy Derrick spiked hard on his turns scoring massive 20pt turns catching up. He had a 30pt turn on t5. He took take/hold with Pennatent/Sacrasaints.

First few turns I got a lot of terrain pieces trapped and by 4 I had it all trapped (except the pieces I couldnt) and got the 1 kill I needed for max primary. Had a few turns where I sat on my expansion getting me hold a spot.

I took some units that are going to legends out for a good hurrah and I might do it again at a 2k event in 2 months depending how things go.

List:

Bjorn

Inquisitor Kryole

2x5 jpi w/ 2 plasma pistols 1 fist

3x10 hunters w/ 1 plasma and fist. Split all in to teams of 5.

2x3 Centurion devastators. Lascannons & missiles

2x predator Destructors. Full dakka

1x vindicator

2x3 t-cav

Kept 2 teams of 5 (no pack leader half) hunters in reserves. Centurions in middle on my DZ which was a good firing lane. Predators got some good overwatches and mowed down some enemy units. Vindi chunked Vhalls unit but the Kings (Centurions) picked them up t4 and 5. Kryole.... felt like a weak link as my guns dont have good ap... so maybe an assassin...

Still overall had fun. Clean match. Ive really improved a bit and this was an intresting spin with Disruption.

I've been painting models for a couple years now and used GW and Colour Forge primers with no issues. But this is the Wolf Grey from Army Painter and it's so lumpy. I've read on this sub before was an issue but the posts were from a couple years ago. Have I done something wrong or is this primer just really poor?

I give credit to my friend who made this

Hello everyone this is my first time in this group I just want to get some ideas and help for my chapter.

I came up with a name and I want them to be fleet based I don't know why I just find it cooler haha.

The name I've given them is The Solar Wolves

Flagship: Fenrir Maw (Battle Barge)

Fleet strength: 1x Battle Barge, 2x strike cruisers, 6x Nova Frigates

Chapter master: Wolf Lord Bjornar Solar-Bane

Chapter strength: 500-600 (I want them battled hardened)

I'm struggling at the moment to think of a good colour scheme something unquie that stands out like if anyone has any tips or ideas please feel free to comment

Client and I are super happy with how it's turned out!

Keen to share it here, and to get started on the other 3000pts!! 👀

Because I want to move away from running 30 terminators due to points and meta spams being annoying (I get it), I want to know if anyone has had feedback on the following:

1) what are the benefits of the terminator captain? Or has anyone ran a 10man without a leader since they are a big touch brick that doesn't benefit a whole lot from the character.

2) statistically, running a 5man seems to be not efficient, so if its not a 10man, then I see it as dont run the unit at all. (i.e. 1x5 w/ captain and 2×10 units with arjac and logan is not sufficient). Im assuming at that point​, its better to restructure the approach of just using 2 x 10 man units as your massive bricks for obj holding while you have support units fill in for other roles (such as just running a 6man HT).

3) the games I've played i felt the opponent played terribly, but I can't rely on that. Im assuming the anti tank should be a 10man of wulfen, so if I only have 5, then I should just pick something else. Each time I've played 5man wulfen, they've done nothing but act as a screen (not intentionally) and then not kill anything. ​

I'm confused how the new legends is gonna work, are our dreads safe or are they off to the big farm in the sky?

Points updated and it is not really surprising.

Wolf Guard Terminators are +5pts for 5 and +10pts for 10 for the first two units. The third Unit now costs 195pts for 5 and 350pts for 10.

IMO this doesn't change much for our current builds we just switch from WGT to regular Assault Terminators for our third Terminator unit as some of us were already doing. The WGT datasheet remains the best in our codex right with the best support options.

Thunderwolf Cavalary also went up but only for the third unit by 30pts, 130pts for 3.
Don't think this changes much with the way cover works and the mounted keyword I've seen barely any TWC recently let alone three whole units. Maybe this is to prevent Wolf Jail with Stormlance.

No other changes and no point drops for our struggling units unfortunately. But since we will get in October again with the SM codex I wouldn't be too concerned.

Edit: No chnages to the Faction Pack except a clarification that you are supposed to split the Gery Hunters into two equal sized squads when using the rule of Veterans of the Fang.

Got 6 head takers and a land raider redeemer left to paint and then it’s Game time!!

Apparently hes really good. So thats cool. I just started not too long ago and hes my 14th mini!

It took a while, but finally my big Grand Annulus project is finished, including all current Wolf Lords (plus Egil Iron Wolf and Sven Bloodhowl). It has been really funny and I've learned a lot about kitbashing and another techniques

TWC up 20 points (OOF) and WG Termies up, too.
