That extra 5 points ruins what would otherwise be a great looking themed army.

Swiftfangs/Blade Dancers 80
Quickblades 100
Greyspears/Manauvi 110
Darkclaws/Bahadur 120
Arktos 95.......505?

I was hoping to try these guys out at an upcoming tourney but they are 5 points too many.
You have to make decisions about which ones to include.

He is over 90 points because he is very good--he has one of the strongest ranged attacks in the game, and can boost other ranged units once he dies. His Attack boost is also very, very potent since most/all of the other wolves are Hunters.

So, they are not "5 points too many;" that particular build is 5 points too many. Try another one. For instance:

Swiftfangs 80
Quickblades 100
Greyspears 110
Manauvi 110
Arktos 95
495
is a solid Varks build.

Also, many events have moved away from always playing 500 points.
