Space Wolves Space Marine Army List
For Russ and the Allfather!
Forces
The Space Wolves Space Marine Army List uses the datasheets from the Space Wolf Forces section, the Imperial Navy Forces section, and the Titan Legion Forces section.
Using The Army List
The following army list allows you to field an army based on a Space Wolves Space Marine army. It can also be used as a stand in
army list for any of the Space Wolves’ successor chapters.
Space Wolves formations come in three types: companies, hunting packs and support packs. You must have at least one Great Company and may not have more hunting packs of any one type than you have Great Companies. You may have any number of support packs.
The formations that may be taken in a Space Wolves army are shown on the chart that follows. The chart also shows what units comprise the formation, what upgrades are allowed, and its points cost.
Each upgrade that is taken adds to the cost of the formation, as shown on the upgrade chart. The upgrade chart also lists the units that make up the upgrade. Note that these will sometimes replace units in the formation they are taken for, and sometimes takes the form of additional units for the formation. Each upgrade may be taken once per formation.
Space Wolf armies may be supported by Imperial Navy aircraft, Titan Legion battlegroup and Space Wolf aircraft formations. A maximum of up to a third of the points available to the army may be spent on these formations.
Special Rules
The They Shall Know No Fear rule applies to all Space Wolf formations (see They Shall Know No Fear).
Space Wolves Transport
The Space Wolves are a highly mobile army. Because of this, the points cost of a formation usually includes enough Rhino transport vehicles to transport it and any upgrades that have been taken. Determine the number of Rhinos needed after all upgrades have been purchased. The number of Rhinos will always be the minimum needed to carry the formation, you can’t take extras along to cover any losses!
Note that many formations don’t receive Rhinos, usually because they can’t fit into them. Detachments that come with Rhinos will be noted as having plus transport
in the units section of the army list opposite.
Also note that you don’t have to take Rhinos if you don’t want to. If you’d rather field the formation on foot instead, so it can act as a garrison for example, or be transported in a Thunderhawk Gunship, then you may do so.
In addition, you may choose to replace a detachment’s Rhinos with Space Wolf Drop Pods. If you do this then the detachment will enter play in a Space Wolf Drop Pod using the rules for Planetfall (see Planetfall). Note that if you choose to do this you will also require at least one Space Marine Strike Cruiser or Battle Barge to deploy the drop pods from.
Before each game, after the opposing army is known but before objectives are placed, the Space Wolf player may choose which formations with the plus transport
aspect are deployed in Rhinos, Space Wolf Drop Pods or on foot. If the formation has any units unable to deploy in Space Wolf Drop Pods then that option cannot be selected. If the formation has any units unable to be transported in Rhinos then do not count them when determining the number of Rhinos needed.
Unblooded
Blood Claws are most eager to prove themselves in battle. All Blood Claw, Skyclaw and Swiftclaw formations that are attempting to take engage actions receive a +1 modifier to their action test roll. Additionally, they must always make their complete counter charge move (unless they reach base contact with an enemy unit before then) so long as they remain a legal formation.

- Planetfall
- Transport
May transport one formation of only the following units: Blood Claws, Grey Hunters, Long Fangs, Dreadnought, Venerable Dreadnought, Wolf Guard Terminators. After the drop pod lands, its Deathwind attacks all enemy units within 15cm. Each enemy formation attacked receives a Blast marker for coming under fire, and an extra Blast marker for each casualty. Then any troops carried in the drop pod must disembark within 5cm of the drop pod or within 5cm of another unit from the same formation that has already landed, so long as all units are placed within 15cm of the drop pod. Drop pod models should be removed from the board once the formation they transport has disembarked. Counts as a Drop Pod for the purposes of being transported.
Pack Mentality
Space Wolves prefer to fight up close to the enemy and therefore never back down when a friendly pack needs help during an engagement. Space Wolf units with Commander can order up to three formations of troops to follow them when they make an assault, as long as all the formations have at least one unit within 10cm of a unit from the commander’s formation.
They Shall Know No Fear
Space Marines are renowned for their tenacity and bravery. This is represented by the following rules:
- It takes 2 Blast markers to suppress a Space Marine unit or kill a unit in a broken formation (ignore any leftover Blast markers).
- Space Marine formations are only broken if they have 2 Blast markers per unit in the formation.
- Space Marines formations only count half their number of Blaster markers in assault resolution (rounding down—note that assault resolution will not receive +1 for having no Blast markers if the formation has 1 Blast marker before rounding down). Halve the number of extra hits suffered by a Space Marine formation that loses an assault, rounding down in favour of the Space Marines.
- When a broken Space Marine formation rallies, it receives a number of Blast markers equal to the number of units, rather than half this number. Space Marines with the Leader special ability remove 2 Blast markers instead of 1.

Critical Hit Effect: The unit takes a point of damage and is moved D6cm in a random direction. If this move takes the titan into impassable terrain or another unit it can’t move over then it stops immediately and is destroyed. All units it moves into or over suffer a hit on a roll of 6+.

May step over units and pieces of terrain that that are lower lower than the unit’s knees and less than 2cm wide. Critical Hit Effect: The unit’s plasma reactor has been breached. Roll a D6 for each breach on the unit in the end phase of each turn. On a roll of 1 the unit is destroyed and all units within 5cm suffer a hit on a roll of 4+, and on a roll of 4–6 the breach has been repaired. Any breach not repaired causes one point of damage.
Imperial Void Shields
Imperial Titans are protected by void shield generators. The number of void shields each Titan has is noted on the Titan’s datasheet.
Each void shield will automatically stop one point of damage and then go down. Do not make armour saves for damage stopped by void shields, nor allocate Blast markers. Once all of the shields have been knocked down, the Titan may be damaged normally and you may make saving throws against any hits that are scored. Hits from close combat ignore void shields but units using their firefight values must first knock down any shields before they can damage the Titan.
Void shields that have been knocked down can be repaired. Each Titan can repair one downed void shield in the end phase of each turn. In addition, if a Titan regroups it can use the dice roll to either repair the void shield or remove Blast markers (e.g., if you rolled a 2 you could repair 2 shields, remove 2 Blast markers or repair 1 shield and remove 1 Blast marker).
