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 14/17.
I have reviewed 28/34.
Time elapsed: 82.35%
Review Completion: 82.35%
On 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 $242 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!
681 days since the start of 10th Edition.
This is Review #352, I am 329 reviews behind! (Lowest I have been is 314 behind)
Space Wolves, Wolf Guard Terminators
10th Edition Index
We have seen Wolf Guard Packs, Battle Leaders and Pack Leaders of all sorts.
We had a Wolf Guard Battle Leader to lead your army while wearing Terminator armour. Then he had the Wolf Guard Pack Leader in Terminator Armor... and now there is a SQUAD of Wolf Guard Terminators!
Wolf Guard Terminators can mix weapons usually found in Terminator Squads and Terminator Assault Squads.
You can field them in a 5 man pack for 185pts or a 10 man pack for 370pts.
Let's check their stats and abilities!

Abilities
Wolf Guard
Each time this unit makes an attack they can ignore modifiers to WS and BS or the Hit roll. If they target the Oath of Moment target then they get a +1 to Hit.
Thoughts
That Wolf Guard rule means: You can't negatively modify my Weapons from hitting you and if you are my Oath target, I will get a buff to hit.
They are tough and can be buffed further by Characters!
That makes 31 Space Wolves Datasheets Reviewed putting them on 88.71% Completed. The total Completed is 38.42% Complete! Can I review them all?!
Thank you for reading!
