Love the list ideas. I really hope the Wolves get a range refresh this edition.

[@johnhildenbrand2642]

They need one, but I wouldn't be surprised if they have to wait til 11th, we're a year in, Astra Militarum has been heavily hinted at for some refresh for Krieg, Votann and World Eaters are still in need of the other halves of their armies, and Emperors Children has all but been confirmed at this point, not sure they are going to be taking on a lot of other projects before 11th on top of all that

I used to hate space wolves because they were so scruffy. But now I love their anti-authority vibe and the kitbash potential and focus on unique individuals. I also love firstborn so this is very much where I belong. For those worried about height, just put a firstborn model on a 25mm base before gluing that to a 32mm. At that point they're basically the same height as any other marines, and coating their feet in snow or ice effects can artificially make their legs seem longer. Even if you only want to build primaris, the grey hunters/blood claws box contains so many bits that you almost need to grab one even if you never fully assemble a model from it

[@greg_mca]

As someone who plays this faction a lot (albeit with relatively few wins), several of the more fun units include: wulfen dreadnought with shield (hits hard, surprisingly tanky, great for just running directly at the enemy), grey hunters (very fast in stormlance and can still shoot freely, including special weapons), wolf guard (hits on 2s with a character, great for mass fire with storm bolters), blood claws (absolute melee mincers), and wolf guard termis, who can all have hammers and combi weapons, making them the best anti-terminator terminators around

The best part of my week is when you drop a video!

[@AsgardMedic]

My problems with Space Wolves currently: A good ranged army with only decent def/melee is a bit better then a mainly melee SM army, and since the SW specific detachment is meh and there is no close combat specific SM detachment we are starting with one hand tied behind our backs. Or you can go with stormlance, print 24 wolfriders and call it a day... Anyway, they are fun to play, even if challenging a bit, but i wouldn't recommend starting a big army until the codex drops

[@TheSilverfox999]

I look forward to seeing how this unfolds. I am curious if there are things to add to my collection or if i can make this list already

[@kennethphillips6006]

Nice video! Since proxies are the method of the day, I’d have rather seen a box of Blood Claws to fill in as Infiltrators. 5 more bodies (for other projects) and more SW bits to deck out the Jump Pack Intercessor proxies.

[@StarkMaximum]

If I had a nickel for each 40K KZbin channel I follow that is biased towards the Thousand Sons and makes a lot of jokes at the Space Wolves' expense as a result, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird it happened twice. Also, on your point about not liking all the various themes the Space Wolves have, I feel that. I love the Viking and Norse themeing and the ice and cold weather themeing, but I REALLY pass on all the wolves but that's the thing GW really wants to focus on. I would much prefer if they were idealizing bears imo but I guess wolves sell better.

[@Speeds_Gaming_Corner]

I can think of quite a few people I know who prefer bears. They like the animal too.

[@tinylittledragon9412]

I like this series

[@Luftwaffle12]

Love the series! Would you consider doing a Skew List/Thematic List for a specific detachment? Like something that keeps the idea of being competitively viable but leans into a specific detachment for an army? Codex Space Marine's come to mind or the new CSM Codex are fairly diverse.

[@Speeds_Gaming_Corner]

I tried to do that for this one with lots of Wulfen, but often times the "themed" lists are gimmicky and way too expensive. A wulfen + Thunderwolf spamming list is like $1200. Each list I do I try to lean into a bit of skew to give that type of player an idea (See Black Templars Ironstorm Dreadnought list vs Sword Brethren list).

[@Luftwaffle12]

@@Speeds_Gaming_Corner yeah fair enough, I really appreciated your Chaos space marine video because I was building my first ever army when it came out and had chosen CSM as my flavour of space violence. Keep up the awesome work!

[@Speeds_Gaming_Corner]

@@Luftwaffle12 Next month I am planning to update that video with the new codex in mind.

[@Luftwaffle12]

@@Speeds_Gaming_Corner I thank you, can't say it's a mutual feeling with my wallet though :D

Magus vs Magus' own ego is a 0-100 matchup. Rest in piss the thousand daughters and thousand children he didn't care enough about to save.

[@Speeds_Gaming_Corner]

Sorry, where is Leman Russ? I know where my Dad is.

[@thenotaryjerod12]

Just to add on, the Grey Hunter box has 2 duplicate grey hunter spru kits, so 4 sprus total of bits that fit on primaris models, shoulders, extra pouches and such. I have been vulturing my box for the last month.

[@danielmartinezmartinez441]

bloodclaw box is better . same sprues, same price, but you get 3 duplicate sprues (6 in total)

[@thenotaryjerod12]

@danielmartinezmartinez441 Oh snap! I didn't know they had their own box. The blood claws are models you can make out of the grey hunter box as well, thanks for the info man!

[@piotrjeske4599]

Jesus. So this is a budget list? What happened to 3 GH units,1BC unit a runę priest and wold lord , with two long fang units as support.

[@Speeds_Gaming_Corner]

My budget lists still aim to give players something that van at least pick up a couple wins at a GT. Space wolves are being very hard carried by expensive units right now unfortunately.

[@spicybarbecue222]

would love to see one for night lords

[@Speeds_Gaming_Corner]

I'll be having an updated CSM one next month. Can't guarantee that the "Totally not Night Lords" detachment will be in there though.

[@HyenaRump]

Why the mark 6 heresy box btw?

[@Speeds_Gaming_Corner]

Assault intercessors with jump packs are passable Space Wolves unit. Assault Intercessors with Jump packs are $60 for 5 whereas these are $70 for 10. Recently (50 minutes after my Blood Angels video went live) GW announced they were pulling the isolated Jump Packs that you could purchase to turn regular Assault Intercessors into Jump Pack Intercessors ($80 total for 10 Primaris Jump Pack Intercessors). Given that the choice is more or less "$70 for Beaky boys or $120 for Primaris" I went with Beaky Boy supremacy.

[@HyenaRump]

@@Speeds_Gaming_Corner Oh that makes a lot of sense, thank you!
