What to Know

Tactical Overview

{ "tweet": "Introducing the Space Wolves Wolf Scouts! A 6-model team (5 Scouts + 1 Fenrisian Wolf) that excels in both melee and shooting, with 3 APL, 7" Move, and 3+ Save. Their 'Elemental Storm' gambit lets them charge from Conceal and fight/shoot twice per activation, making them fast and versatile. Unique rules like 'Hunting Astartes' and ploys such as 'Cloaked By The Storm' boost defense, while 'Savage Fighters' adds extra damage. They're tough, adaptable hunters who dominate within their storm!" }
