Structure

This page details military structure of Space Wolves forces including Detachments, Formations and Apocalypse Formations.

Detachments


The Wolves Unleashed Detachment

Codex: Space Wolves details a unique Detachment - the Wolves Unleashed Detachment - that reflects a force of Space Wolves on the hunt. This follows all the Detachment rules presented in Warhammer 40,000: The Rules.


RESTRICTIONS
All units in this Detachment (except fortifications) must have the Space Wolves Faction.

COMMAND BENEFITS
Cunning of the Wolf: Before Deployment, roll a D6 for each unit in this Detachment, adding +2 to the result if the unit’s Battlefield Role is Troops and it has been joined by an Independent Character from this Detachment (before rolling, inform your opponent which Independent Characters, if any, will start the game joined to which Troops units). On a 6+, that unit has the Outflank special rule. In addition, at the start of each of your turns after the first, you may select one unit from this Detachment that is in Reserves. That unit automatically passes its Reserve Roll to arrive this turn (no dice roll is necessary).

Jarl of Russ: If this Detachment is chosen as your Primary Detachment, you can re-roll the result when rolling on the Warlord Traits table in Codex: Space Wolves.

Wolf Claw Strike Force

The Wolf Claw Strike Force allows you to represent the typical structure of a Space Wolves army on the Warhammer 40,000 battlefield. Whether you wish to deploy the full might of a Great Company with support elements, or a force assembled to tackle a specific threat, the choices below offer a great way to pick your army.

The Wolf Claw Strike Force is a special type of Detachment that can be included in any Battle-forged army. Unlike the Detachments shown in Warhammer 40,000: The Rules, it has a Force Organisation Chart whose slots are a combination of specific Formations and Army List Entries instead of Battlefield Roles. However, it still has compulsory and optional elements, as well as Restrictions and Command Benefits, just like any other Detachment.

Although units cannot normally belong to more than one Detachment, units from a Formation that is part of a Wolf Claw Strike Force are an exception. They count as part of both their Formation and the Detachment, and have all associated Command Benefits and special rules. If your Warlord is part of a Formation or an Army List Entry that makes up part of a Wolf Claw Strike Force, that entire Wolf Claw Strike Force is your Primary Detachment.
