Warpstone Flux Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️
3/5 stars. The rules are average.
Background.
There are no Wolves on Fenris.
Except the humans who might or might not have mutated into new forms. Freki and Geri are two of the largest versions of them, whatever the Fenrisian Wolves origin.
Leman Russ takes these beasts to battle along with his Space Wolves to act as his body guard pets.
Strengths.
Great movement, good stat line overall, and breaching 6 combingin with fear and fearless plus other juicy rules makes them a decent threat.
Weaknesses.
The 5+ save is an issue. They will get shot to death rapidly without significant thought about placement. Perhaps its better to think of them as adding 8 wounds to Russ when you take them in some ways. Their bulk is also an issue.
Overall.
A reasonable unit for the price to accompany Russ. You will need to consider what you're doing with them and how they're getting there. Otherwise you are going to be very vulnerable to small arms fire.
Difference to First Edition.
Roughly the same. A lot of rules have been changed (cf., look out sir), but overall they come out as about equal to before.
