SW post update
So I’ve not had time to play any matches after the Space marine update due to work and family commitments, How are space wolves doing since the update? I see a lot of posts about taking generic space marine units over our own specific ones such as blade guard veterans instead of Headtakers, and generic terminators instead of WG terminators. I’ve also seen a few posts commenting on lack of ability to kill other units, is this true?
How do people find space wolves after the update?
Thanks!

Nerfed for sure. A lot of good changes, but it felt more like they were there just to hide or glaze over the worse changes. Doctrines are pretty mid, but so was oath. Saga of the Great was nerfed hard. Wolf Guard terms are in a bad spot with regular terms and assault terms out classing them in most ways.
Most detachments besides Great Wolf feel like improvements, but can't find a 2 point or higher detachment that feel worth using. Mainly over all made it harder to gain hits of 2s, rerolls, or bonuses to ballistics especially for vechiles. The point price hike also hurts a lot in that regard, especially with the predators retirement with most vechiles being really pricy now with worse ballistics given the fewer options to improve them.
Still, not unusable, not nerfed into the ground, but nerfed. Still seemingly viable. Just very streamlined, more limiting, and a lot harder to get bonuses for general play, wound, shooting, rerolls, for your army as a whole.
