===Pros=== *You like any of these things: assault, Vikings, runes, wolves, werewolves, wolves, snow, ice, honor, beards, Nordic names, repeating words, wolves, and not wearing helmets. *Your troops units reliably pull their weight. Blood Claws hit impressively hard on the charge, and your Grey Hunters can be more mobile and choppy than Tactical Squads. *The Space Wolves have access to unique wargear that is generally slightly better than what Codex Astartes Space Marines use. *Awesome looking exclusive models. Space Wolves are covered in pelts, teeth, talismans, and runes which gives them a Viking-inspired, savage appearance. **Consequently, an added benefit of playing Space Wolves is that you'll piss off PETA *Not only are the models awesome looking, but they're cheaper than vanilla marines, depending on which units you buy. Specifically their devastator, tactical and assault squad equivalents all go for 37 US bucks each. And that unique flyer ~6 points down goes for a dollar less than a Storm Raven gunship (really saving up for that Nuln Oil). *Powerful HQ characters, both special and standard. *The Tempestas discipline is good for helping you survive shooting long enough to get into combat. *All the Wolf you could ever wolf. If you like Wolves, look no further. We also have legitimate Werewolves in the army now. *Unique access to Thunderwolf Cavalry and Wulfen means that few armies come close to being as good at assault as the Space Wolves. *Between strong troops and strong HQs, you can take bigger detachments for more command points without feeling like you're being taxed. * A unique flyer in the Stormwolf which is essentially a flying Land Raider. Packs a 16 troop capacity and half a dozen heavy weapons to back it up. *Between Prospero Burns, Leman Russ: The Great Wolf, and Horus Heresy Inferno, the fluff is being overhauled to make the Wolves both more serious and more likable. * Grey Hunters, Blood Claws and Long Fangs can take Wolf Guard who are able to upgrade to Terminator armor. It might not seem like much at first. However an extra heavy or power weapon can't be understated. Cyclone Missile Launchers have strength comparable to a [[Plasma gun]] with more range and doesn't have to exchange his Storm Bolter. * Confirmed to be getting the next Codex with a handful of new units, as well as the goodies from the vanilla Codex that the Wolves didn't have access to. Can you say "Wulfen Dreadnought"? *A certain HQ can be painted as a killer Santa
