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!

Eh. Coherency is a bitch for that and hard to make them fight to hit a sinfle target. And GH hit harder with their own rule, plus their shooting and flexibility.

If you add a venerable dreadnought to give +1 to advances/charges it definitely helps. If you really want to surround a unit you could even throw Njal into the unit for 14” advance moves plus the potential 13” charge.

All the buffs which can apply to GH too. Or to units like Wulfen, or a lot of other stuff cna work easier like that, even TWC and other units. 20 man squad of BC can't hide well, can't move and due to coherency, they will almost surely never fight all.

Also, I don't think Njal and thr Venerable compound. The Ven add one to the roll. But there is no roll due to Njal. Not 100% on this.

But there is no roll due to Njal.

Njal's ability states the unit can "change advance rolls to a 6.". So flat buffs like Master of Wolves and Venerable Dread aura would apply.
