Extra Muscle and leadership for your units!

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 12/17.
I have reviewed 25/34.

Time elapsed: 70.58%
Review Completion: 73.52%
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 $242 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!
679 days since the start of 10th Edition.
This is Review #349, I am 330 reviews behind! (Lowest I have been is 314 behind)

Space Wolves, Wolf Guard Pack Leader

10th Edition Index

Sometimes the Wolf Guard squad split up and send members of their company to lead the various packs in a Great Company. Sometimes it is for 1 mission alone, a single hunt. Other times it is a permanent position, especially when most of the Wolf Guard's pack are disbanded.

A Wolf Guard Pack leader disguises himself as a regular soldier unless other players know what to look for.

This Wolf Guard is 30pts.

Abilities

Inspiring Leader

Pack Leader

This model cannot be your Warlord and cannot be given enhancements.

Thoughts

Simply put - He is an extra Powerfist/Thunderhammer to your unit. You can give him a Stormshield to make him more durable.

One re-roll leadership per game is really good for battling against Tyranids and the like.

That makes 28 Space Wolves Datasheets Reviewed putting them on 80% Completed. The total Completed is 38.10% Complete! Can I review them all?!

Thank you for reading!
