Leading the Skyclaws... requires a Jump Pack!
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 13/17.
I have reviewed 27/34.
Time elapsed: 76.47%
Review Completion: 79.41%
One Ahead of 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 $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!
680 days since the start of 10th Edition.
This is Review #351, I am 329 reviews behind! (Lowest I have been is 314 behind)
Space Wolves, Wolf Guard Pack Leader with Jump Pack
10th Edition Index
Basically the same as the Wolf Guard Pack Leader... but with a Jump Pack.
This means that he can join and lead Skyclaws... if that is your kind of thing!

Thoughts
So you can use this to field a 15 man Skyclaw Pack, led by a Wolf Guard and either a (Captain) Wolf Lord with Jump Pack or a (Chaplain) Wolf Priest with Jump Pack! A 17 man flying pack!
Basically you'd be playing Firehowlers Great Company then! That is their Jam!
That makes 30 Space Wolves Datasheets Reviewed putting them on 85.71% Completed. The total Completed is 38.31% Complete! Can I review them all?!
