Feral Warpwolf
Feral Warpwolf
Circle Heavy Warbeast
Warpwolves are humans that have been transformed into savage beasts well suited for battle. The druids of the Circle Orboros use the vicious feral warpwolves to strike their enemies hard and fast, unleashing them to sow death and discord with tooth and claw. Contrastingly, the white-furred purebloods cut swathes through the enemies of Orboros with measured ferocity and bone-shattering howls. Retaining some portion of their human intellects, the sword-wielding stalkers are stealthy killers that prowl behind enemy lines and strike without warning.

Analysis of Feral Warpwolf
Feral Warpwolf in a nutshell
The Feral Warpwolf is a heavy killer. With a higher MAT than non-character warp wolves and three initial melee attacks it simply does a better job of killing heavies, especially as it comes with a scarily powerful animus. With above average speed for a heavy most of the time you will find yourself warping str and charging in to show your manliness off to anything that gets in your range.
Combos & Synergies
- Any living warbeast - Every warbeast wants to hit harder and more accurately. It's just a matter of determining what you can afford to lose next turn.
- Lanyssa Ryssyl, Nyss Sorceress or the Blackclad Wayfarer - Hunter's Mark is an excellent threat range extender that provides free charges.
Drawbacks and Downsides
- In order to get full use of the speed you need to not warp strength. It's pillow fisted at this point
- no way of rampaging through infantry like other warpwolves.
- Vulnerable to knockdown like other warpwolves
Tricks and Tactics
- Remember that you do have more speed (and a longer trample) than people expect
- Decide when to Primal. It's not always a good idea.
- Warp Armor is what you use before the fight actually starts.
Other
Changes from Mk II
Feral now has the same animus as the gorax rager, rather than the single most situational animus in the game.
