My thoughts on the new Space Wolves: HQ's: The Wolf Priest

Today I decided to ring in the new year with a tactics write up on the good ol' Wolf Priest. The Wolf Priest is a character who can being a lot of diversity to your army and has a couple roles I feel are best suited for him. This won't be a write up as long as the others as I have only used a Wolf Priest in one role(which i enjoyed) but I do know of some other uses for him that have worked out quite well for others. So on to the write up!

My thoughts on the new Space Wolves: HQ's: Wolf Guard Battle Leader

THE WOLF GUARD BATTLE LEADER

As we bash on through my ramblings on the new codex; we come across the Wolf Guard Battle Leader. This is another HQ character that i have a lot of love for. What is not to love about the Battle Leader. He's essentially a Wolf Lords little brother; and any of you that have read my review of the Wolf Lord know my feelings on them. Once again, it's another character that gives you freedom of customisation, conversion and flavour. The icing on the cake is you lose little from a wolf lord stat wise, but you do lose a lot when it comes to points cost So lets dive in shall we?

My thoughts on the new Space Wolves: HQ's: The Wolf Lord

THE WOLF LORD!!

Now we have the generic, run of the mill Wolf Lord. My interpretation of his role is to mirror that of the Chapter master. This dude can fill any role you want, in my eyes he is the gem in this codex. The Wolf Lord has SO many options. This HQ choice is also amazing in the sense that it has SO much hobbying potential. Space wolves models may generally all look similar or the same; but when it comes to the wolf lord, he is what you want him to be and can look however you want him to look. I have a ton of love for this guy, and have never played a game without him. But if your not careful, he can get expensive SUPER quick. He does start at 105 points, so when you see the options, you'll see how easy it could be to get carried away with him.  Strap in lads and lasses because this will be a long one.

My thoughts on the new Space Wolves: HQ's: Harald Deathwolf

HARALD DEATHWOLF:

While i have not played with him yet(waiting to get the model, i don't like to proxy), i have a lot of love for this here dude because he's on a thunder wolf!!!

Harald is in my opinion, an awesome lord. While i have not ran Harald Specifically, i do have a Wolf Lord on a thunder wolf in every list i play; . For 190 points you receive a very fairly points costed thunder wolf lord with some little extras. Some you will not care about, but some give you some serious options for new tactics and strategies.

My thoughts on the new Space Wolves : HQ's: Ragnar Blackmane

So since i'm no where near my hobby table for a couple days, i figured i would start doing my thoughts on the new space wolves codex now that it has been out for a couple months and i've had some time to play around with it and find what i enjoy. Its also always refreshing to see what other people think about models based on the fact that everyone has different views.

There isn't going to be any order to this so i apologize, I'm starting simply with what i have looked into and theory hammered with.

First up!

RAGNAR BLACKMANE:

So ill start by saying i have never used Ragnar Blackmane in a game, but i've wanted to for quite some time. I won't field him though until i have converted a model for him; this being due to me not being a fan of the 80's rocker look that his current model has going for it. I still think he should have been redone when the new releases drop, we can always hope though.

So lets start the review shall we.
