Space Wolves Codex Review: HQs

As with all Space Marine HQ sections, the codex offers a choice between killy and support HQs. Where the Wolves differ is in how these are implemented. This section of the review details non-SC headquarters models, and what they can do for you.

Branching out: Fantasy + Blood Claw Tactica

Greetings. I am going to branch out into fantasy as well, and acquire some dedicated fantasy authors. I understand this will be ...interesting... for a "40k blog" but I am sure we can pull it off; however I would like your opinion on whether I should. Anyway, the meat of this post will focus on Blood Claws, so lets crack on!

Wolf Scouts 1

Greetings fellow Sons of Russ, and welcome to yet another post about the Wulfkin. This post will be about those touched by The Great Lone Wolf, Lokyar; the Wolf Scouts, and also about their tactical and psychological advantages.

Greetings Internet!

Elhi'Ahcolee here, writing a good old introductory post. Hopefully I'll be writing a fair few articles here on the blog, work and time permitting, which will be of light tone and may require you to find a dictionary once or twice, because long seldom used words are awfully fun to use.

So a small bit about myself I suppose, I've been into 40K since about 2003, although the first thing I played as a young boy back then was the old 'Space Crusade' board game, this inevitably lead me into the Tabletop hobby, back in good old Fourth Edition! I even dragged a few friends in with me too. Since those far gone days I've played a multitude of different armies and own a small contingent from about every force. Tactically I play for the fun, I rarely use vehicles as I can't resist a good infantry or cavalry charge. My first army being Chaos I've gained a devious persuasion from Tzeentch, often muttering "Just as Planned" or quietly scheming with every player around the board.

Anyway, glad to be here and hope to write many articles on a variety of subjects.

Death Company vs Death Cult Assassins round two

In recognition of my co-author's first post regarding SoB, and how one of their elites -the Death Cult Assassins- smash a Death Company unit into the ground, I wish to show how they may win. I will do an equal points example, then will try and adjust his example DC unit, and see how they fare without altering points. This will be hard, but I will endeavour to show tactics and unit composition that may make it easier.

SoB brief codex highlights


Sisters of Battle: Codex highlights
This is just a list of some of the highlights that I think there are in the White Dwarf SoB codex:
HQ's:
First and most certainly foremost Saint Celestine full of mostly win for her cost, as far as I or anyone else that I know can tell. All they’ve done is upped her stats and almost halved her cost from the previous Dex, WS 7 BS 7 I 7 (which I think makes Miraculous Intervention all the better) 5 attacks base; however only T3.
Miraculous Intervention is AWESOME; when she dies, on a 4+ she gets back up with d3 wounds. Now once she gets up, she can charge into combat with 6 i7 attacks, meaning she will pretty much always get her attacks before she gets killed again. Furthermore, her ardent blade gets a flamer template at str 5 ap 4 before charging again.
(Also note in the FAQ it states that if she is removed from play, she still can get back up on a 4+)


SGT_LAG


Hi my name is Adam (SGT_LAG), I am a 40k fan and will be writing a few of the articles on this blog. I mostly play sister of battle and orks, sisters because of the death organ -I mean c'mon- :D and orks because there is nothing funnier than seeing the enemy cower when they see 180 rampant blood thirsty orks coming their way. I will mostly writing about summaries of what other people have researched and what I have experienced myself; I hope people find it useful and interesting, especially the SoB as they have the newer of dex's and are one of the more complex army choices in my opinion.

Long Fangs 1

Greetings wulfkin, and welcome to another day at the blog. For this post, we shall be talking about what weapons to equip long fangs/devastator squads with, using space wolf codex for points cost; the information contained within should still be useful for other Marine codecies however.

Space Wulf Podding 1



This will sound obvious, but DROP THE RIGHT POD IN! Dropping a Melta squad in front of foot guard is not a good idea. In the same vein, dropping a flamer squad in front of mech anything is a bad idea. Plasma weapons should ideally drop near heavy infantry or rear armour.

Introduction: Wulfvir

Hi, I am Wulfvir, and I am starting a new blog devoted to all 40k armies. I am quite capricious and flit between armies; I have had several failed blogs due to this, as I tried to specialize too much.

I will be recruiting other decent players from my FLGS to help me keep this site up to date, as because of my flitting, I tend to leave armies to gather dust. I may also be accepting guest publications, as long as it relates to 40k tacticas / list building / etc.

I will not be accepting lists that need advice, although if I have another author who specializes in a particular army, I will pass it on to him.

To send me a publication, send it to  wulfvir@hotmail.co.uk

Anyway, I will be updating the blog with a Space Wolf Drop Pod tactica, so hold on!
