 A
Space Wolves army makes for a truly different and
unique version of a Space Marine army. The organization
and units found in the Space Wolves are radically
different from those found in other Chapters, which
means that the composition of your army and the tactics
you use will be very different as well. You'll find
that the Space Wolves are an attack army that rewards
a player who likes to play aggressively and get "stuck
in." However, the Space Wolves are not ferocious
berserkers like the Blood Angels. The Space Wolves'
headstrong attitude often means they are the first
into battle, but once there, they fight with the cunning
of a wolf pack rather than the frenzy of a rabid dog!
When building a Warhammer 40,000 army
the best place to begin is its respective Codex. These
books are indispensable, not only providing you with
the complete rules and army lists for your army, but
also containing guides to painting, assembling, and
selecting your army. Lastly, Codexes contain the army's
background story that you can find nowhere else.
Codex: Space Wolves is one in a
series of army books that act as supplements to Codex:
Space Marines. Each book in the series describes
an army, its history, and its heroes in detail. Note
that Codex: Space Wolves is not a stand-alone
book; you also need Codex: Space Marines to field
a Space Wolves army. Inside Codex: Space Wolves,
you will find:
Army Lists
Rules and information for new units available only to
the Space Wolves, such as Blood Claws, Grey Hunters,
and the famous Wolf Guard. Information detailing new
weapons and wargear used by the Space Wolves is also
included.
Hobby Section
Eight full-colour pages packed with invaluable tips
and advice on collecting, painting, and playing
with a Space
Wolves army.
 Special
Characters
Rules and information for famous Space Wolves characters
such as Logan Grimnar and Ragnar Blackmane.
History and Organization
Background information describing the history and organization
of the Space Wolves.
Once you get the appropriate Codex in
your hands, you'll need some troops to command and form
the core of your growing army. Next, we'll take a look
at the Space Marine Tactical Squad boxed set, the perfect
place to find your first recruits.
