I have been toying with more wolf builds as of late, mainly involving the Darklord v2.0 and Badru.
For 500+point builds, the wolves do not seem like a competitive option with much popularity (so far, I have only seen one NHSD '10 reported build utilizing the Badru/darklord combo:
Horde Lorde had the stones to play them, going 1 - 3 in Madison, WI with Wolves of Badrux3, Werewolf Lord, Fen Hydra). Despite this, I believe that they still have merit on a competitive level, provided they are paired with strong support units. This is much easier to fill at 500+ points (
some of my suggested, speculative builds).
At lower point, pre-determined-army totals (400 points), the darklord/Badru combo becomes a bit trickier to use effectively. First off, your wolf core (a 300 point investment in one darklord and two squads of bonding Badru) has two strong assets: mobility and one of the strongest, common-based special attacks in the game.
Playing on these strengths, you...
