Warhammer 40k - Review Library 327 - Space Wolves, Canis Wolfborn

He's a wild man that was raised by wolves!

Hello everyone! Zak Ludick here from Cape Town, South Africa and this is a Warhammer 40k - The Great Unit Review Wheel! post!

Now known as the Unit Review Library! Here is the current Library Link post!

What is it all about? It is not there to just give a stat. It is there to give MY review of the unit!

Space Wolves incoming!

As explained in This post about new reveals at Adepticon the Space Wolves are suddenly being launched and dropped on our heads suddenly!

Thus my time for reviewing their Datasheets is running out. I have 34 Reviews to do, I am trying to maintain a fast pace so I will give myself 17 days including today to complete all of these. That means that the last day of this personal challenge will be the 15th of April 2025!

Today is Day 2/17.
I have reviewed 3/34.

Time elapsed: 11.76%
Review Completion: 8.82%
1 more to Par!

Beyond them looms another 85 reviews of the Coming soon section! I better get cracking!

Hobby Fund - Working myself into the clear

With my hobby posts, I generate a hobby fund. 50% of the income goes into the fund. At the moment I put all my HBD earned from Warhammer posts into my alt account @zakl.hobbyfund.

I am collecting funds in the following ways:

  • Blogging about Warhammer to earn HBD
  • Accepting donations - Can be sent directly to @zakl.hobbyfund in HBD
  • Selling some of the collection to friends.

At the current count I am paying off some hobby debts. I still have $264 to pay off!

Every bit counts!

Back to the review.

The whole project has become quite the Challenge! With so many units to review in the game the consensus in the hobby community is that I will not have enough time to review all of the Datasheets before the new edition of Warhammer 40,000 came out.

I should have started when 10th edition launched!
669 days since the start of 10th Edition.
This is Review #327, I am 342 reviews behind! (Lowest I have been is 314 behind)

Space Wolves, Canis Wolfborn

10th Edition Index

Canis Wolfborn... literally Raised by Wolves. He is the only Space Wolf Character that can lead Fenrisian wolves, though, it would probably be better if he led Thunderwolf Cavalry.

He is an Epic Hero, so you can only field 1x like Bjorn.

He is 75pts and the model is $60.

Let's check their stats!

Stats

Movement 10"
Toughness 6
Save 3+(armor/invul/Feel No Pain)
Wounds 6
Ld 6+
OC 2

Weapons

Ranged Weapons

Bolt Pistol

12" Range, 1 Shot, Hitting on 5+, S4, AP0 and 1 Damage each.
Pistol (This weapon can be fired while in melee)

Melee Weapons

Wolf Claws

8 Attacks, Hitting on 2+, S5, AP-2 and 1 Damage each.
Twin-linked (This model can re-roll Wound rolls with this weapon)

Crushing Teeth and Claws

3 Attacks, Hitting on 4+, S5, AP-1 and 1 Damage each.
Extra Attacks (These attacks can be made in addition to the other attacks this model makes)

Abilities

Born of Wolves

While leading a unit, melee weapons in the unit have Sustained Hits 1. So 6's to Hit cause additional hits!

Alpha Predator

Each time this model ends a charge more, select one enemy unit and roll a D6. On 2-3 that unit suffers D3 Mortal Wounds, on 4-5 the unit suffers 3 Mortal Wounds. On a 6 that unit suffers D3+3 Mortal wounds!

Thoughts

Canis and his unit turns them into a Horde melee blender!

It is also worthwhile to mention that Thunderwolves give him +1 Damage on the charge. So Dam 2 Wolf Claws would be great!

The only advantage of putting him with Fenrisian Wolves is the ability to Advance and Charge... which is not needed in some Space Wolf armies, because they get that anyway!

I have this model, still need to paint him!.

That makes 6 Space Wolves Datasheets Reviewed putting them on 17.14% Completed. The total Completed is 35.69% Complete! Can I review them all?!

Thank you for reading!

🤣🤣🤣🤣 There are no reins! Actually on he other Thunderwolves you will see that none of them have reins!

But I can see the reins... from the wolf's mouth there are chains, which are connected to leather which then bunch up at the saddle. The wolf has reins for steering but Canis would chop his wolf so bad as soon as he grabs those reins, or the saddle, or anything really. They need to figure out the Wolverine retractable claw situation.

Whoops. I never even saw that. I have a Canis, but I have not painted him yet.

But my OTHER Thunderwolf Cavalry do not have reins. So I was surprised.
