Wolfen army

original thread ↗

Hello everyone

I don´t know if this is the right place of if anyone want to help me. But it´s the best spot I´ve found.

So a while ago I bought a lot of Wolfen models. I been using them as Ogres and the Ogre kingdom army book. It´s been OK and the play style of the Ogres fits quite nicely how I think an Wolfen army should be played. But now when I tried that and my friends are using their new and shiny army book I´m feeling jealous. So with no real rumors about a new Ogre book I started to create a Wolfen army book :)
It´s just in the beginning so I checked what models do I have and how do i think they should be played. The list are based on the Ogre kingdom book and a little from the beastmen. It would be really nice to hear if you think point and rules are playable or what´s wrong with it. All help and comments are welcome.

So far it's just a list :)
