Warhammer 40k - Review Library 347 - Space Wolves, Wolf Guard Battle Leader in Terminator Armour

Hold on to your hats! Wolf Guard somethings are coming in hot!

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 11/17.
I have reviewed 23/34.

Time elapsed: 64.70%
Review Completion: 67.64%
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!
678 days since the start of 10th Edition.
This is Review #347, I am 331 reviews behind! (Lowest I have been is 314 behind)

10th Edition Index

5 Attacks, Hitting on 3+, S4, AP0 and 1 Damage each.

Abilities

Tactical Precision

While leading a unit, weapons in that unit have the Lethal Hits Ability. This means that 6's to Hit cause automatic Wounds.

Huskarl to the Jarl

If there is another Character in the same unit as this model, all Character models in this unit have a 4+ Feel No Pain.

Thoughts

Giving a unit Lethal Hits is always really cool.

The Huskarl rule is interesting with a 4+ FNP going to the other character as well as this character.

Weapon Loadout is as you see fit!

That makes 26 Space Wolves Datasheets Reviewed putting them on 74.28% Completed. The total Completed is 37.88% Complete! Can I review them all?!

Thank you for reading!

FNP to only characters is a lil 😑 for me. You can only use that once the bodyguard unit is wiped out and then is it still a unit with 2 characters?🤔

Actually no. This is the same as some of the "Advanced Bodyguards" you get in other armies.

Ogryn Bodyguard
Vitrix Honourguard
Etc

The main leader gets a FNP against Precision attacks.

lethal hits plus a 4+ FNP. These guys aren't going to go down easily.

Its a bit situational. They FNP is only really going to come into effect when you try sniping him or the Wolf Lord in his unit.
