Space Wolves - Wulfen Warhammer 40K 8th Edition TACTICS + UNIT SHOWCASE!

[@mattm9470]

Wolfen with the skull is just re-enacting Hamlet. Hes a member of the 13th Great company Shakespeare troupe. Needed some way to pass the last few millennium

[@sorufa888]

If you put a Wulfen in front of a typewriter for long enough, they will recreate Shakespeare’s greatest works

[@johnurban1383]

The wulfen pack leader is required to take frost claws. He can't change his war gear.

[@StrikingScorpion82]

ok good point:)

[@Vaultboy-ke2jj]

You don’t have the option to switch the weapons on the pack leader! He is armed with frost claws and no option to change that

[@StrikingScorpion82]

ok!:)

[@cameronmiller587]

Hey mate, I noticed you mention at 21:30, the Wulfen hit on 2+, however im certain the codex report a WS of 3+. I may have missed something, but can you explain how you got to 2+ on HIts? cheers.

[@StrikingScorpion82]

Space Wolves special rule they get +1 to the hit rolls on the charge or if they are charged. Axes grant an extra attack too:)

[@cameronmiller587]

StrikingScorpion82 hey mate! Cheers. Thanks for clarifying that. Just confirming this is the “hunters unleashed” ability? And when a codex says “+1 to hit rolls” - does this mean reduce the weapon skill hit rating by 1? (Is: Wulfen have a 3+ WS, with this ability, subtract 1 = WS now 2+?) Brand new to 40K - still trying to wrap my head around it- but your videos GREATLY! Help! Honestly fantastic stuff. Would love to see some insight/ review of the ‘new units’ from the August-2019 update. Hint hint, wink wink 😜

[@StrikingScorpion82]

@@cameronmiller587 Yes exactly right. Thats how it works. Glad the videos are a help. Reckon I usually do updates for units when they come out in codexs or narrative books:)

[@joebarker9162]

Another great video. Good work!

[@StrikingScorpion82]

Thanks:)

[@TheMazoruler]

Hi! In your demonstration you forgot a couple of things: 1) the Wulfen Leader has to carry the frostclaws, there is no alternative to this weapon for him. 2) you repeat all the failed wound blows with the frost claws. Keep those two things in mind because they are very important ;)

[@StrikingScorpion82]

thanks!:)

[@Pallomides]

If you attack with the wolf claws you hit on 2s IN THE FIRST ROUND OF FIGHTING

[@Brissebrajan]

Great video Luke, you did a few errors, frost claws adds +1 attack and rerolls to wound, also great axes adds + 1 attack. I used them the other day, the exact same loadout, and they were brutal. Lots of rules to remember though, so no wonder mistakes are made, like to see more of your SW 😀

[@StrikingScorpion82]

Thanks for pointing out. Yeah they are a brutal unit for sure! They have been so useful in the games I've played so far!:)

[@Brissebrajan]

@@StrikingScorpion82 Tried out a new formation the otherday, just added another 3 with frost claws to the squad (8 total) in a stormwolf... Ehm my gaming "friends" hate them now! Hope to see your "new" Space Wolves army soon!

[@StrikingScorpion82]

@@Brissebrajan Sounds good. New Wolves videos coming soon all being well:)

[@robertjenkins2612]

You can also put a Wulfen squad in a Stormwolf and fly them to just over an inch from the enemy, then on turn 2 drop the Stormwolf down into hover mode, deploy the Wulfen within 3 inches of the enemy, then move the Stormwolf off to another area. If you place them in a Stormwolf you need either a Landraider or Thunderwolf to draw the enemy fire if you don't go first. If you go first doesn't matter if the enemy targets the Stormwolf because the Wulfen will already be in the enemy face. If you put a Wolf priest and Wolf Guard Battle Leader in Armour of Russ with them they reroll 1s to hit and wound, plus you choose an enemy to go last.

[@ClaudiosCollection]

Hero Quest damage skulls. I know those tiles well.

[@AlistairStClair]

Your pack leader must take frost claws, he can't swap. Also, the frost claws grant an additional attack so he should have been making 5 attacks

[@StrikingScorpion82]

ok!:)

[@jwrt2326]

What's the difference between wolf claws and frost claws?

[@linfordstinton]

You wound on 2s when your strength is double the toughness. If I remember the wound table right.

[@nathanfogarty2121]

Always get the biggest unit I can fit in my list, always put them on the hunt n try to back up with cav n blood claws ideally with wolf lord on tw with armour of russ, pick a unit to fight last, ha I also forget to fight back on death. Great vid.

[@geeksoftherealm4716]

These are my favourite units by far as it suits my play style. Great video mate

[@StrikingScorpion82]

thnaks:)

[@JJDarkside101]

you could just literally use the "Cunning of the wolf" strategy for 1 cp and bring them on turn 2 within 6" of any battlefield edge of your choice and more than 9" away from any enemy models

[@cavalier7430]

Thats a great tip

[@longhunter5935]

I think this is the best application of that Stratagem. Remember only applies to infantry. Orrrrr maybe a squad of LongFangs with MulitMeltas into a a backfield with enemy armor

[@richardtaylor8989]

That’s how I always use them. I took out an opponents castellan knight in combat that way. Always go with thunder hammer and stormshield in my opinion. No point taking the other load-outs when they get +1 to hit on the charge. 4 attacks with each thunder hammer on the charge hitting on 3s generally wounding on 2s and 3s 👍

[@GutsOfRivia]

honestly I prefer my armies punch from wolfguard terminators lead by arjac pretty devastating with +1 attack and I just love the idea of a wolfguard terminator assult teleporting in a key place and ramming through the lines feels like what the space wolves were famed for.

[@Brissebrajan]

So did i, but the wulfen are better, feel no pain, fights back in Close combat if slain etc. So you get alot more bang with these. But Arjac and a retinue of Wolf guard terminators are still a cool option =)

[@jameszumsteg1433]

Ah yes my favorite unit type.

[@rf_cattleprod]

Wulfen are an amazing unit. I love/dread playing Space Wolves players just because of this unit right here. I actually can stand the marines riding wolves into battle. The thunder wolf calvary is the dumbest looking unit GW ever created.

[@R1CK-Moscha]

It would be nice to change this vid cause some significant errors. Some ppl still mentioned it already. Wulfen Packleader hit with 4 base attacks, not 3 and +1 for dual wielding Frostclaws. So u missed 2 attacks. That‘s damn huge. + reroll for wounds. Maybe new players will get be confused by this Video.
