Mark of the Wulfen

The Mark of the Wulfen is limited to a single Wolf Guard model in each army. It can be shown by either painting facial tattoos on the model, or converting the model to show it in its beastlike state. A Wolf Guard bearing the Mark is treated as an Independent Character and must remain on his own at all time. He is allowed to be near another unit but he cannot join it. A model bearing the Mark of the Wulfen may not be given Terminator Armour, a jump pack, nor may he ride a Space Marine bike.

A model bearing the Mark of the Wulfen explodes into a wild bestial fury in close combat. He undergoes a physical transformation into a wild beast-like creature. Such is his savagery in combat that he receives D3 additional attacks and always strikes his foes on a roll of 3+ whatever their Weapon Skill. On the other hand, his complete disregard fore his own safety means that opponents will always hit him in close combat on a D6 roll of 3+, whatever their Weapon Skill. Finally, a character bearing the Mark of the Wulfen simply does not know the meaning of fear and will automatically pass all Morale and Pinning test and may ignore opposing troops or weapons that can cause an opponent to automatically fall back.
