Not only are they great at grabbing objectives, but they have the same speed as Blood Knights, making them a suprisingly good option for a Khastelai army. You can also run them with Radukar for some wolf-centric buffs, although it should be noted they don't get buffs from corpse carts anymore. And of course, they're still SUMMONABLE, meaning they get all the same benefits as Skeletons and Zombies. They also share the "Dead Walker" Key-word with the Zombies so they can share buffs the would effect them. Overall, probably one of the better offensive options for your fodder, although they lack the staying power of Skeletons even with Endless Legions.		*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls/Eng_Dire_Wolves.pdf Dire Wolves]'''(135 pts/10, max 30, {{AOSKeyword\|Summonable}}): These are a solid option, being surprisingly tough with 2 wounds and fast as fuck.

You can heal up to 3 wounds, or return slain models that have a combined wounds characteristic of 3 or less to it. Add +1 to the casting roll for each hero on the battlefield. No unit can benefit from this more than once per turn. Even more healing options is always welcome, especially with deathly invocation only being used once per turn per unit now.		* '''Invigorating Aura:''' Casting Value 8.
