Headstrong and reckless Blood Claws in the sky!

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 8/17.
I have reviewed 17/34.

Time elapsed: 47.05%
Review Completion: 50%
One ahead!

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 $254 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!
675 days since the start of 10th Edition.
This is Review #341, I am 334 reviews behind! (Lowest I have been is 314 behind)

Space Wolves, Skyclaws

10th Edition Index

You will see from their shoulderpas that these are another kind of "Claw" pack, meaning Blood Claws, meaning newbies. This is a datasheet to field a unit of Claws with Jump packs - thus Skyclaws.

Its not rocket science.

This is pretty nuts:

90pts for 5 models
165pts for 10 models
240pts for 15 models in a squad!

Let's check his stats and abilities!

Stats

Toughness 4

The Pack Leader can exchange the Chainsword for a Power Weapon or Powerfist. And his Bolt Pistol for a Plasma Pistol.

Abilities

Headstrong

This unit can re-roll the Charge roll and on the charge, they get a +1 to Hit. (So hitting on 2+)

Thoughts

I never realized that these guys could be fielded in a unit of 15! That is actually really cool. You can attach either a Captain with Jump Pack (So a Wolf Lord) or a Chaplain with Jump Pack (So a Wolf Priest) and still add another Wolf Guard Pack Leader with Jump Pack as well... so a Squad of 17 with Jump packs.... with the ability to re-roll the Charge roll... That is pretty spicy!

That makes 20 Space Wolves Datasheets Reviewed putting them on 57.14% Completed. The total Completed is 37.22% Complete! Can I review them all?!

Thank you for reading!
