Codex: Space Wolves Q&A
by Andy Chambers

 

Q: Does the Combi-Bolter work as a Bolter (except on the turn that it's used as a Storm Bolter)?

A: Yes.


Q: Does this mean that it can be combined with the True Grit skill?

A: Yes.


Q: Does this mean that any of the combi bolter-melta/plasma etc. weapons can be used with the True Grit skill (apart from the turn that they utilize the "one-shot" Plasma/Melta etc. aspect)?

A: Yes.


Q: When you give a Blood Claws Bike Pack jump packs, do the Blood Claws get Frag Grenades or the option to buy them? Frag Grenades are not listed in the equipment they receive in their Squad entry box.

A: It's an oversight, but we'll just have to live with it for now. I guess that the older Space Wolves just don't trust the young 'uns with jump packs and frag grenades ; )


Q: Would a Wolf Lord plus Fenris Wolves constitute a Mixed Armor formation?

A: Yes.


Q: Can the Wolf Guard Battle Leader take the Mark of the Wulfen since he buys his wargear from the wolf guard side of the chart?

A: No there, as it's listed as Wolf Guard (Elite selection) only.


Q: Master Crafted Weapon doesn't have a 't' by it. Was this a typo, or can models in Terminator Armor really not Master Craft anything?

A: It's the weapon that needs the 't' rather than the upgrade in this case. I'll add a 't' when we reprint just to make things crystal clear.


Q: Are Logan Grimnar & Ragnar Independent Characters? They are not listed as one, but they are listed as Wolf Lords.

A: Yes. They are independent characters.


Q: Can Logan or Ragnar have Fenrisian Wolves? They are not listed as being able to get them, but they are listed as Wolf Lords.

A: No they can't. You must take characters as written, and we could not include Wolves with the models.


Q: Just a quick question about the Wolf Guard Battle Leader. Can a Wolf Guard Battle Leader in Terminator armour take a Terminator Heavy Weapon or can one in Power Armour take a normal Heavy Weapon? It seems that he can by the Codex, but we just wanted to make sure of that.

A: Ignore the reference to heavy weapons in the Wolf Guard Battle Leader entry. It's a typo.


Q: The rules state that a Wolf Guard with a heavy weapon cannot get any other weapons, does this refer to all Wolf Guard or just those in power armor? (i.e. can a Wolf Guard Terminator get an assault cannon and power fist?)

A: It only refers to those in power armour.


Q: Imagine a rune priest leading a Bloodclaw squad and casting his psychic power on them. All are equipped with frag grenades, and they decide to assault an enemy unit in cover. What exactly happens:

a) Due to the psychic power we all strike in order of initiative
b) The Priest and the Bloodclaws automaticallly throw the frag grenades as they charge and the h-h is resolved simultaneously
c) The frag grenades nullify the enemy unit's cover, which would mean that the Wolves strike first as they are still in cover.
d) Other...

A: b) is true unless the opposition has plasma grenades in which case they fight in Initiative order.


Q: Can a Blood Claws squad upgrade their 1 guy in 5 to take two of the options, so that he has both a plasma pistol & power weapon? So he has changed in his close combat weapon for a power weapon (or power fist) and his bolt pistol for a plasma pistol? Or is it just one cool weapon upgrade per model?

A: I really can't see any problem with one model getting both upgrades if that is what a player wants to do.
