If you’re craving a band of fierce warriors led by a larger-than-life, bearded legend riding a metaphorical “flying sleigh” (okay, a mighty ship in the warp), the Space Wolves have the perfect gift for you: the Champions of Fenris. This Detachment unleashes the Sons of Russ in all their saga-worthy glory, letting these hand-picked heroes prove they’re worthy of the Great Wolf’s gaze—whether he’s on the battlefield with them or not.
Champions of Fenris: The Apex of Space Wolves Feats
These are the personal best of Logan Grimnar’s chosen—Lords, Terminators, and savage warriors who exemplify Space Wolf virtues. Their creed? Hunt the biggest game, crush all foes, and do it with a thunderous war cry that resonates across the galaxy. No matter how outnumbered they are, they’ll fight on with heroic fervor, forging legends in the name of the Allfather.
Detachment Rule: The Great Wolf Watches
This is a perfect fit for aggressive Space Wolves players:
- Heroic Intervention for all Infantry and Walker units:
- At the end of your opponent’s Charge phase, if any of these units are within 3″ of an enemy, they can declare a Charge in return.
- Translation: Your foe tries to corner or outmaneuver you? Boom—your Wolves counter-charge with all the fury of Fenris.
- Terminator Objective Secured:
- Your Terminators gain +1 to their Objective Secured rating, letting them muscle enemies off key points while swinging their chainfists or thunder hammers.
- They’re both unstoppable bulldozers and objective sitters.
Wolves’ Wisdom Enhancement: Long-Range Heroics
Take that intervention a notch higher:
- A unit bearing the Wolves’ Wisdom Enhancement can declare a return Charge on enemies within 6″ (instead of 3″).
- This extra distance means you can’t just poke the wolf—you’ve got to stay far away or risk them leaping across the battlefield in response.
Preytaker’s Eye Stratagem: Even the Odds
Even if your Wolves are outnumbered, they rarely feel outmatched:
- Preytaker’s Eye grants an Infantry unit either Lethal Hits or Sustained Hits 1 for a combat phase, letting you tailor your kill-power to the situation.
- Coming up against a swarm? Sustained Hits helps mow down hordes. Facing tough characters or beasts? Lethal Hits can bypass tough armor with mortal wounds.
Why Play the Champions of Fenris?
- High-Impact Aggression: If you love heroic reactivity—charging in the enemy’s turn—this Detachment is for you.
- Narrative Gold: Imagine forging heroic sagas with Terminators leaping in from the side to rescue embattled squads.
- Board Control: Terminators become unstoppable objective-takers, and that 6″ Heroic Intervention bubble forces opponents to think twice before tangling with you.
Grotmas Cheer, Space Wolves-Style
While everyone else might be sipping amasec and exchanging gifts, the Champions of Fenris spend Grotmas charging unsuspecting foes and collecting skulls for the Wolf King’s trophy room. If you’re looking for a fierce, counter-punching army that channels the savage might of Fenris, the Champions of Fenris are your howling heroes this holiday season.
