=== {{PAGENAME}} in a nutshell===
''Warpwolves are humans that have been transformed into savage beasts well suited for battle. The druids of the Circle Orboros use the white-furred purebloods to cut swathes through the enemies of Orboros with measured ferocity and bone-shattering howls.''
The Pureblood Warpwolf is a versatile, jack-of-all-trades Heavy which brings both ranged and melee options, the ability to strike deep and surgically behind the lines, the ability to navigate problem terrain, immunize itself against spells, and imbue the ability to bypass the bonuses to ARM or DEF granted by spells (as well as hit models which require magical weapons).  It comes with all the perks of a normal Warpwolf, including the ability to regenerate, high defense, and respectable health boxes.  It also has pretty good self control, avoiding Frenzy most of the time.
* Unlike most warpwolves, which revert to human form while not "hunting", pureblood's are born and stay in the warpwolf form, since they are bred from "normal" Warpwolves.
 
=== Combos & Synergies ===
* [[Feral Warpwolf]] or [[Gorax Rager]] are your most reliable damage buffs via Primal.
* Every version of Kaya offers the Pureblood something:
** [[Kaya1]] increases its melee accuracy and can teleport it back after it's done its work.
** [[Kaya2]] protects it from shooting via Shadow Pack and can increase its hitting power and defense with [[Forced Evolution]]. She can teleport it back with her feat.
** [[Kaya3]] can increase its melee prowess via Synergy. Fog of War and her feat are both good ways of protecting it, while her Field Marshall allows it to move, shoot, and back away.
* [[Kromac1]] appreciates a powerful spray attack to trigger Warpath off of; it can also keep it safe by moving it after shooting, while Wraithbane helps his heavies deal with buffs on their targets.
* [[Kromac2]] provides it with an ARM and STR buff under his feat and Carnage helps with its accuracy in melee. Awakened Spirit lets it cast its animus for free. He also appreciates Wraithbane, especially on himself when he goes into a buffed enemy heavy.
* [[Tanith the Feral Song|Tanith]] improves it in several ways; Affliction to deal with high-DEF or units, Scything Touch to increase its hitting power, and Admonition to keep it safe against melee threats. If the Pureblood warps Spell Ward while it has Admonition up, your opponent will be hard-pressed to both remove it and pin it down.
* Putting Wraithbane on a [[Woldwyrd]] means the Wold will both ignore any defensive buffs your opponent puts on ''and'' do extra damage and hit more accurately against the target due to Purgation. Most players will be very reticent to put out any defensive upkeeps on their models with that combination.
 
=== Drawbacks & Downsides ===
* Somewhat pillow fisted, even when warping Strength.
* Not as durable as the equally priced [[Loki]] or as adaptive as [[Brennos]] or the [[Woldwarden]]
* Wraithbane is situational; it won't do anything some games and be extremely important in others.
 
=== Tricks & Tips===
* The Surgical Strike: Charge a target and position the Pureblood properly so that the assault-spray hits the squishy support models the enemy was trying to keep safe. This just about doubles the range of the Pureblood's spray.
* The Ninja: Warp ghostly and charge ( or trample if you have no LOS) right through an obstruction your opponent felt safe behind. Against higher ARM or multi-wound targets you will need some sort of STR/POW buff though to compensate not warping STR. Also when trampling don't forget that you forfeit your initials so you will usually not have more than 3 attacks. You will probably lose the Pureblood next turn so make it count!

  Errata-Pistol (2023-09-17)
Question: Does the pistol benefit apply to models not in melee with the attacking model when the pistol is on a spray?
Answer: No, it only applies to models with which the attacking model is in melee.
Explanation: The intent is that a model only ignore the penalty for being in melee with the models that model is in melee with. Pistol only works against the models in the melee with the attacking model.
