Warhammer 40k - Review Library 353 - Space Wolves, Wolf Lord on Thunderwolf
Kit out a Thunderwolf Lord with your own style!
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 29/34.
Time elapsed: 82.35%
Review Completion: 85.29%
One ahead!
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 #353, I am 328 reviews behind! (Lowest I have been is 314 behind)

Abilities
Speed of the Hunter
Add 1 to this model's unit's Charge and Advance rolls
Rites of Battle
One unit from your army can use this ability per Battle Round in your army. That unit can reduce the CP spent on a Stratagem used by this unit by 1.
Thoughts
Free CP and a faster unit! There are rules in at least three Detachments that would allow this unit to Advance and Charge and this Move 10" + a D6+1" Advance and then a 2D6+1" Charge! That is some crazy speed indeed. Plus all the other bonuses and the sheer amount of attacks that a Wolf Lord can put out makes him well worth it!
That makes 32 Space Wolves Datasheets Reviewed putting them on 91.42% Completed. The total Completed is 38.53% Complete! Can I review them all?!
Thank you for reading!
