Goatboy’s Grimdark Armylist: Space Wolf Saga of Bodies, Bodies, & More Bodies
Goatboy here with an Space Wolves army list that floods the table with a pile of tough bodies, and can write a new Saga of victory!
Here’s an Vlka Fenryka army list based off of some discussions with some local Texas people. The idea here is to flood the table with a bunch of efficiently tough bodies, gum up the table, and hopefully win some games. This isn’t a list designed to use a combo of some sort and instead just has some of the best Multiple Small Units you can pick from the Space Marine army. I went with the Stormlance Detachment as a nice default “powerful” option that will let me move, shoot a lot, and just punch things into oblivion.
There are some missing things in here and if I wanted to go for a more well rounded list I would probably throw in some Balistus Dreadnoughts or other long range vehicle based firepower. This might have me leaning into throwing an Iron Priest into the list but I think this purely designed horde list might do well enough. It does have a ton of units and a lot of ways it can “punch up”. I also thought the Heavy Intercessors might actually be good in their newly minted point cost of 100 points for 5 tough little jerks with Assault bolters. Onto the list:

Saga of Bodies, Bodies, & More Bodies Tactics
As you can see this is just a list of Space Wolf bodies that are tougher than normal marines. They will probably take more to kill than a basic set of shooting which leads into opponents trying to double or triple up to remove a threat that isn’t too big. They also should put out a decent amount of damage if they get close or get to punch things. You have some fun deployment options in the Inceptors and the up and down nature of the Scouts. The Heavy Intercessors might be an odd one and something you can drop for something else. I just thought it might be neat to try and brew with them as no one takes them for now.
What do you think? A bunch of screaming idiots running at you that have more wounds than they should have? They even have some doggies to run around that they rescued by having them rescue them? Do you have enough time to talk about home brewing?
For the Wolftime!
