The Story:

The money wolves originally were 3 friends with the same passion: Warhammer. Their names: Ian, Kurt and Steven. After another game where they had lots of fun they were discussing the different types of wolves that existed in the old world: Dire Wolves,  Doom Wolves,... Joking  around, they found a name for their triumvirate: The Money Wolves.

The idea arose to create models that would represent themselves: an idea only completely worked out by Kurt till this time. The models would all be mounted on a wolf. Also they reformed their names: Kurt became Curtio, Steven became Stefano and Ian became Iano. Curtio was agreed to be the champion of the money wolves whereas Stefano and Iano were to be the standard bearer and musician. They even made up statistics and rules for themselves (see below).

In 2002 their troop was joined by Kaj (also known as Chosen of Sigmar), new to the game but rather soon accepted by the three founders. It is he who started up this site!

Their motto: Fun and Games!

The Rules:

The unit consists of the 4 heroes accompanied by at least one other Money Wolf. As long as there are not 6 accompanying Money Wolves neither of the characters can do a "look out, sir"-roll. If randomising a hero is hit on a 5+. Afterwards one must determine which hero was hit (1,2: Chosen; 3,4: Iano; 5: Stefano; 6: Curtio)

  • Equipment: cavalry sword, pistol, light armour, shield.

  • Mount: giant wolf

Special Rules:

  • Cavalry Sword: This sword is specially designed for mounted troops. It gives a +2 strength bonus on the charge and a +1 strength bonus in other close combat rounds.

  • Unearthly Friendship: If one of the characters dies in battle the unit will go Frenzy. If there's only one left, he and the rest of the unit will hate all enemies.

  • Expert Riders: The Money Wolves are such fine riders that they can use two weapons in close combat (even when mounted). They must choose at the beginning of any combat if they will use their pistol or their shield. Whatever the choice they can always stand and shoot when they are charged.

Unit Name ## Mv WS BS St To Wo In At Ld Sv WSv Pts

Curtio Kabetche (Leader)

1 4 7 4 4 4 2 4 3/4 9 4+ 5+ Sh. 200
Equipment: Money Bag: Counts as a one handed flail which gives a +2 strength in close combat (not only the first round) with an -3 save modifier due to the weight of the bag. (replaces Cavalry Sword)
Special Rules: Fearless: Curtio is a battle-hardened individual who has seen (almost) everything. Therefor he's immune to fear, as is the unit while he's alive.

Stephano Tche-Esse
(Standard Bearer)

1 4 5 6 4 4 2 4 2 8 5+ 5+ Sh. 100
Equipment: Silicon Throwing Stars: Count as normal throwing stars but with a range of 12" and no modifier for half range. These replace the pistol and can not be used in close combat.
Note: Stefano may not carry a shield due to the standard he's carrying.
Special Rules: Uncapturable: The standard carried by Stephano looks like a motherboard. As no one really knows what the purpose of it is, it can not be captured.

Iano (Musician)

1 4 5 4 4 4 2 6 2/3 8 4+ 5+ Sh. 100
Equipment: Electrifier: Iano is possessed by electric charges from lightning. Through the Electrifier he can generate these charges in close combat with a strength of 4 but a -2 save modifier. Roll a D6 every turn, on a 4+ Iano can discharge the weapon. (Replaces the Cavalry Sword)
Special Rules: T'Echno Music: Iano plays a loud noise (he calls it music, the others don't) with a strong "Beat" on empty (painting) cans. An enemy  that wants to charge or is charged by the Money Wolves while Iano is still alive must make a fear test. Due to the loudness of T'Echno the unit gains a +2 leadership on any rally attempts.

Kaļo, The Chosen (Chronicler)

1 4 5 4 4 4 2 4 2/3 8 3+ 5+ Sh. 100
Equipment: Lapt-R-Op: The Chosen always carries his book which contains the notes about the Money Wolves. It replaces his shield and gives him an 5+ armour save and confers a 5+ Ward Save versus magical and non-magical missile fire for the whole unit.
Special Rules: Broken Wheels: The Chosen, due to an incident in the past, must take an Leadership Test on his own Ld, as soon as he gets into close combat with a chariot (or other device with wheels) : if he passes he can swap all his attacks for a single strength 10 attack that hits automatically, if he fails only his mount may fight that round.
