• Sagas
  They are now Warlord Traits like other armies with the difference that you can choose them without to roll dices
  HQ Units
  Like 3rd Edition; One HQ per 750p
  Logan Grimnar
  Lord of War, may take Two Warlord Traits, make Wolf Guard Packs to troops
  Ragnar Blackmane
  When all Units in the detachment take Drop Pods as dedicated Transport, Ragnar will be free. Your Army may only take Unites with an Drop Pod option.
  Canis Wolfborn
  No longer in the Codex
  Harald Deathwolf
  New Character, replace the generic Wolf Lord on Thunderwolf, make Thunderwolf Cavalry to Troops
  Bjorn the Fell-Handed
  Now a Lord of War, becomes “it will not die”. When Bjorn is destroyed every Space Wolves Unit within 12″ becomes furious charge, fearless and hate the unit, charakter or vehicle that destroyed him
  Wolf Guard
  Pack Leaders are now entries in the Units like Squad Leaders in other Armies. Still no teleport for Terminators
  Grey Hunters
  Close Combat Weapons are now a option that replace the Bolter, 5p cheaper
  Blood Claws
  3p cheaper
  Long Fangs
  Can’t take Rhinos as dedicaded Transports
• Krom Dragongaze rumored stats floating around.

Rant Session

Tactics Corner

Rules Lawyer

• Paul from the east coast wrote in to point out some interesting rules pointers in 7th. Nothing now says you have to use a certain weapon, and, you can swing with multiple weapons at different initiative steps, piling in at the highest step.
• Formations are detachments, they do not fit into other detachments.
• Your Warlord can come from any Detachment.
• Knights can only come in detachments of 1-3 now, some folks have missed that.
