Official references
Weapon variants
Skin Wolves
The standard Skin Wolf unit. Use its mobility to approach a useful fight while the infantry keeps the enemy occupied.
Skin Wolves (Armoured)
A separate armoured recruitment entry. It still needs support and protection from concentrated missile fire.
A place in Norsca’s army
Skin Wolves and their Armoured version belong to the original Norscan roster. Recruit the entry your settlement offers and plan how it will work with the rest of the expedition. They are distinct from the Skin Wolf Werekin hero type.
Approach large targets with support
Skin Wolves have an anti-large battlefield role. Use Marauders to engage supporting infantry, then send the wolves toward a large threat from a direction that avoids the busiest part of the line. Keep track of nearby enemy spears and missiles.
Speed helps with positioning, but moving ahead of the army can leave the unit fighting unsupported. Reassess the target when reinforcements arrive rather than remaining in a crowded engagement simply because it began well.
Supporting the Norscan leaders
Wulfrik’s army needs mobile support after a landing, Throgg’s monsters need help reaching good fights, and Sayl benefits from troops that exploit the openings his magic creates.
