Wolves (taken from
White Dwarf #'s 231 & 234 )
Special Rules 'For they shall know no fear' & Drop Pods - As found in Codex Space Marines, these apply as normal to the Space Wolves. Acute Senses - Space Wolves may reroll the dice when rolling to determine how far a Space Wolf unit can see at night. This roll must be accepted, even it is worse than the first. Blood Feud - Space Wolves never forget a grudge and have had millenia long feuds with both the Thousand Sons and the Dark Angels. When fighting in close assault with troops from these armies, they will always need a 3+ to hit, regardless of respective Weapon Skills. However, the Thousand Sons and Dark Angels will also only need a 3+ to hit. 'No matter the odds' - Space Wolves ignore all negative modifiers for Morale Checks for being out numbered in close combat. In addition, Blood Claws and Wolf Scouts may never choose to fall back voluntarily and must always charge if one of their models is within 6" of the enemy, unless the pack is led by a Wolf Guard champion or Independant Character. Counter-Charge - If charged, Space Wolves will spring up and counter-charge. Unengaged Space Wolf and Fenrisian Wolves from a unit that has been charged may move up to 6" to get into base to base contact with the enemy. These models do not receive +1 Attacks for charging, but will fight with their full number of Attacks. Dreadnoughts and Long Fangs may not counter-charge. Models may counter-charge a Sweeping Advance, so long as they did not Rapid Fire or shoot heavy weapons in their Shooting Phase. Space Wolves Armoury Space Wolf Characters and Wolf Guard may pick up to two single-handed weapons, or one single handed and one two handed weapon, plus up to 100 points of Wargear, either from the Space Marine Armoury, or the Space Wolves Wargear List. In addition, Space Wolves cannot take Terminator Honours and characters in Terminator Armour do NOT receive the +1 Attack bonus. Space Wolves do not have access to Holy Relics - they are replaced by the Cup of Wulfen. Only one of these items may be taken per army and they may only be used in armies of 2000 points or more. Single Handed Weapons Frost Blade or Axe - 25 points (Independant Characters only) Wargear Cup of the Wulfen - 40 points (Wolf Priests only) Wulfen Pelt - 5 points (Independant Characters only) Psyber Raven - 10 points (Rune Priests only) Rune Staff - 10 points (Rune Priests only) Space Wolves Wargear Cup of the Wulfen - A model bearing the Cup may reveal it once per battle. This may be done at any time, though the model with the Cup must not move during the turn it is revealed. On this turn, all Space Wolves within 2D6" get a +1 Attack bonus. Frost Blade or Frost Axe - Treated as a Power Weapon and adds +1 to the user's Strength. Wulfen Pelt - Provides wearer with a 6+ Invulnerable Save. Psyber Raven - Enemy Infiltrators may not set up using their special rules if the Space Wolf army has a Rune Priest with a Psyber Raven, unless they first roll a 4+ (roll seperately for each unit). Rune Priests with a Psyber Raven count as having an additional close combat weapon (+1 Attacks). Rune Staff - A Rune Priest with a Rune Staff may reroll his Psychic Test if he rolls a 12. The second result must be accepted.
