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.
Body guards - certainly. Pets? Perhaps. Huge giant creatures that are also intelligent and capable of snapping mortal men in half with their teeth - absolutely.
Strengths.
Only Leman Russ can join this unit, and they come with an array of special rules and a nice stat line.
Geri is that stand out with WS=7, but Freki is also good with WS=5. The latter also has one more attack.
Their teeth and claws come with breaching and 2 damage to cause some serious carnage. They also have fear, heedless, feel no pain and are fast.
Weaknesses.
Loyalist only of course. They are fast at movement = 10, but their advanced characteristics leave them open to statuses.
Overall.
Think of them as extra wounds for Russ and you are probably doing well. The points cost is reasonable as well, although clearly the saving throws are not superlative.
