With the new Codex Space Wolves currently on pre-order, would it be unwise for me to continue with this series expansion until I know what is happening to my current packs, or can I feasibly expand in other ways?
Let's look at the current Grand Imperial Army list, which is made up of only Space Wolves at the moment and check what the implications might be:
Grand Imperial Army - 2,130pts
Space Wolves - 2,130pts
Space Wolves Characters - 470pts
Logan Grimnar - 115pts - becoming 110pts, model change (base size will need to be resized)
Bjorn the Fell-Handed - 190pts - becoming 180pts
Rune Priest (Librarian, Thorin Thunderstaff) - 65pts - Need to see how SW/SM Codex interact
Wolf Guard Pack Leader in Terminator Armor (Kjarl Diregaze) - 40pts Affected - moved to Legends?
Iron Priest (Kreggus Ironblood) - 60pts - Still good!
Space Wolves Battleline Units - 310pts
10x Blood Claws (Pack Torvin) - 140pts - Unit of 10 valid for 135pts, need to change weapon options
5x Grey Hunters (Pack Hrothnar) - 85pts - No longer a valid option
5x Grey Hunters (Pack Bjandr) - 85pts - No longer a valid option
Space Wolves Dedicated Transports - 190pts
Razorback Dedicated to Pack Hrothnar - 95pts - no longer an option for new Codex Grey Hunters
Razorback Dedicated to Pack Bjandr - 95pts - Ditto as above
Space Wolves Other Units - 1,160pts
Vindicator (Belar) - 185pts - Unaffected
Vindicator (Jorundyn) - 185pts - Unaffected
Ballistus Dreadnought (Voraf) - 140pts - Unaffected
Land Raider - 240pts - Unaffected
Space Wolf Scouts (Pack Skarwin) - 80pts - Gone from Codex, Legends?
5x Long Fangs (Pack Vurheim 120pts) - Gone from Codex, Legends?
Redemptor Dreadnought (Sven) - 210pts - Unaffected.
So we can see that around 600pts of this army is now affected by the changes.
I have no doubt that at least some of these units will be moved to Legends... in which case I can keep them the way that they are and I can then just build new units to be compliant with the new Codex Space Wolves.
However... if I stick to Codex Space Marine units in the Space Wolves army or Legends units then I should be able to expand without issues.
I am not going to be changing any of the points costs until the new Codex and new Legends update has been officially launched.
Do you think this is a fair response?
