Allies,
Ill be going with Space Marines to complete, gather and acquire a larger choice of units for my Wolf. Ive play Imperial guard back in 3rd Edition and cant really see myself going over the large built of troops again. Might kick-in some Vostroyan but that would be for objective fluf conversion more then anything. Ive look at other codex and got the following impression (Please correct me if im wrong)...Dark Angels
Will wait for the new codex to come in within the next few months. The 6th Edition book cover is to dramatic to not see it coming.
Grey Knights
Costy but good if you want Lord Kaldor Draigo with Paladins (termies with two wounds) for troops, gain access to a stormraven for fast attack and top an assassin on the table as elite. (275+ few 55 + 205 + 145 pts) That would put your allies almost equal in points with your wolf on a 2000pts fight (1000/1000).
Blood Angels
Hard to gather on the Legion momentum of special rules with only one HQ plus Troop choice. Mephiston for high cost... if not Captain Tycho in Death Company plus one troop of death company and then one elite dreadnought... Leave ya one Baal predator to who we do not have access as fast attack for its assault cannon and then a stormraven for heavy support. Again costy trick (250 to 175 + few 60 + 125 + 115 + 200 pts) almost 1000/1000 with your wolf on a 2000pts game.
Ultramarines
This is where i have found cheaper stuff to gather so far... A Kor'sarro khan with 5 bikes that outflank for HQ and Troops... then a lower costy solution to our Bjorn famous character as... wait... an Ironclad Dreadnought... sure he is WS4 BS4 but he still gather 13 for front and 13 for side armor, plus few cool weapon like the hunter killer missiles to be sent at the start of the game against your opponent flyer... seismic hammer with meltagun... i mean if compare in points with Bjorn its a great save (270 pts vs 135 pts). Total come to about (160(45) + few 90 + 135 pts) almost 600/1400 with your wolf on a 2000pts game.
I dint go Sister... Orks... or Dark Eldar yet... For fluf reason... tuff a Dark Eldar whishes with a Space wolf head is still bugging me when i go to sleep. I mean yes our Scouts got hit and the space marines scouts are not at the boots height to our space wolf scouts if taken as low cost allies troops... but... what if you would simply replace them with some Dark Eldar / Space Wolf conversion to get a unit that can do the same damage if not more. I mean can Lelith Hesperax not be 'THE' perfect solution to replace our scouts... How about Duke Sliscus... The thing that bug me would be to turn them into a conversion so they look like feral imperial troops. Almost... as if you would be fighting with human Space wolf troops on fenris like 'Battle of the Fang'... Can it be DONE ??? Is it not time for our wolf to see few chicks on the table going barbarian crazy ?...
