Njal Stormcaller:
Njal is back in all of his glory. The cyber raven joins him and the most easy comparison is with Tigurius, except that he wears terminator armour and carries mighty runes which blaze and improve his invulnerable save to a 4+. Truly unstoppable he remains.
A storm now covers Njal and this affects enemy shooting and combat prowess (-1 to both within 18" or something like that) and at higher levels can destroy foes and cast them around the table with it's mighty winds. Njal is the master of all six Space Wolf Psychic powers and yes, he is really expensive. Think 250+ points.
Egal was er unglaubliches kann, solange er nicht Eternal Warrior ist und über wenigstens eine unglaubliche Psi-Kraft verfügt, ist er zu teuer!!
Bjorn the Fell Handed. Bjorn is incredibly strong, AV13 to the front and of course venerable. Put those two factors together and he is an almighty warrior. He has four attacks basic and is strength seven. He is also very expensive.
Was zum Teufel bringt einem Cybot Stärke 7?!?
There is also a Telion type upgrade for the Space Wolf equivalent to scouts. This hero, more than three centuries old is the equivalent of a captain and yet with his unruly manners cannot be accepted among the battle brothers, not least because he stole one of the Chapter's thunderhawks and then crashed it during his flight. He upgrades his squad, I cannot remember how.
*joa, mal gucken...*
Battle Brothers:
All Space Wolves have counter attack and acute senses. GUT!!!
Wolf Guard are deceptive, they start off at a little over thirty points but they get very expensive very quickly. A wolf guard with Thunder hammer and Storm Shield weighs in at just under seventy! WOW, das ist teuer! Auch da muss noch irgendwas gutes drinstecken, weil sonst ZU teuer. Sowas wie eingebaute Talismane oder so... Also doch Sturmschilde?!? Hätte mich auch gewundert, wenn nicht. Wikinger-Style Schilde sehen sicherlich lässig aus.
There is a character with a special storm shield who can get an extra attack which represents him slapping his opponent with the shield when he charges. He also has furious charge and a thunder hammer that he can throw in a shooting attack. yes, a thrown thunder hammer. When it hits the foe there is an explosion and it reappears with a flash in his hands... Not bad eh? Ja, wer´s braucht, aber coool...
Blood Claws now come in three flavours, bikers, jump packers and infantry. They remain slightly less able than regualr marines in shooting and close combat but are still really deadly... Okay
Wulfen are gone as a unit. Kein Verlust...
There is a character who rides a Fenrisian wolf in to battle. It's a bit He-Man esque, but in a good way. HE-Man esque... GEIL!!!
Long Fangs, Heavy Bolters for only a handful of points, you know about the same as a meltagun for regular marines... Also you can carry five heavy weapons... It's brilliant. Wow, wenn das nach wie vor 5 Marines mit 5 schweren Waffen sind, bringt das gar nichts...
How much is a regular Space Wolf? xx points? Oh and you get a special weapon for free. Oh, and if you take ten you get a second special weapon for free... Ten men, and two special weapons for 150 points? Sounds good eh? DAS hört sich endlich mal sinnvoll an, 2 Attacken und CounterCharge sind schon mal eine Ansage.
Kit? Oh yeah, every space wolf carries a chainsword, bolt pistol and boltgun. Extra attacks, I think so. You can kiss good bye to true grit though. Niemand brauchte True Grit...
Oh and one last thing. Dark Angels are now not alone in being able to field Terminator only armies! SW's can field all terminator armies as one of their characters makes it possible to field T's as troops choices!
Auch hier: Naja, bitte...
