Cunning Hunters!

Hello everyone! Zak Ludick here from Cape Town, South Africa and this is a Warhammer 40k - The Great Unit Review Wheel! post!
Now known as the Unit Review Library! Here is the current Library Link post!
What is it all about? It is not there to just give a stat. It is there to give MY review of the unit!
Space Wolves incoming!
As explained in This post about new reveals at Adepticon the Space Wolves are suddenly being launched and dropped on our heads suddenly!
Thus my time for reviewing their Datasheets is running out. I have 34 Reviews to do, I am trying to maintain a fast pace so I will give myself 17 days including today to complete all of these. That means that the last day of this personal challenge will be the 15th of April 2025!
Today is Day 3/17.
I have reviewed 5/34.
Time elapsed: 17.64%
Review Completion: 14.70%
One behind Par!
Beyond them looms another 85 reviews of the Coming soon section! I better get cracking!
Hobby Fund - Working myself into the clear
With my hobby posts, I generate a hobby fund. 50% of the income goes into the fund. At the moment I put all my HBD earned from Warhammer posts into my alt account @zakl.hobbyfund.
I am collecting funds in the following ways:
- Blogging about Warhammer to earn HBD
- Accepting donations - Can be sent directly to @zakl.hobbyfund in HBD
- Selling some of the collection to friends.
At the current count I am paying off some hobby debts. I still have $264 to pay off!
Every bit counts!
Back to the review.
The whole project has become quite the Challenge! With so many units to review in the game the consensus in the hobby community is that I will not have enough time to review all of the Datasheets before the new edition of Warhammer 40,000 came out.
I should have started when 10th edition launched!
670 days since the start of 10th Edition.
This is Review #329, I am 341 reviews behind! (Lowest I have been is 314 behind)
Space Wolves, Grey Hunters
10th Edition Index
Once Space Wolves have been blooded as Blood Claws, the squad graduates to the rank of Grey Hunter. Instead of Yellow and red pack markings, they bear Red and Black instead but usually retains the pack markings but in the new colours.
These Marines are used to hold objectives and attack key targets and are armed with a LOT of weapons!
They are 85pts for 5 and 170pts for 10 of them.
A Box of 10 models costs $60.

Thoughts
This is an incredibly useful unit. I have 2x Squads of 5 of them in my Ironstorm Space Wolf army.
I arm them with Power fist, and 2x Plasma Guns. They ride in my Razorbacks.
That makes 8 Space Wolves Datasheets Reviewed putting them on 22.85% Completed. The total Completed is 35.91% Complete! Can I review them all?!
Thank you for reading!
