Shit, for 250pts then you get a squad that dishes out 25 Str 10 AP 2 attacks on the charge. Sheesh that hurts.

From what little I've seen, the Str 3 vs Str 5 debate is still raging furiously. 5 makes so much sense but damn...that scan.
One other aspect has come into the equation: apparently german sources are saying the Wulfen can run and charge. Also all but confirmed they hit you on the way down at whatever Initiative step they die at IE always hit back

Yes, both of those special rules (in the original post) are verified. Which is awesome, you basically have no reason to not take TH/SS, because even if you die before you strike, you get to strike at that initiative step.

moar updates!
Curse of the Wulfen.
All non-vehicle models within 6" are affected. For Blood/Sky/swift claws it is 12", for Long Fangs it is 3".
Wulfen, Servitors and units that starts in a transport are not affected.
At the start of the player turn, roll a single dice for all units. The effect lasts until your next player round.
Units outside of combat gains the Hunt tables effect, units in combat gains the Kill effect.
Hunt
1-3: re-rolls failed charges and... Smashdown? Don't know. EDIT: Just read a translation that said it was Hamer of Wrath, which makes more sense.
4-5: Add 3" when you move, run or charge. Basically dunestrider.
6: All models gain Furios Charge and gains 1d3 attacks for charging, unless they have Rage.
Kill:
1-4: +1 initiative.
4-5: Re-rolls to wound.
6: If killed, you may attack before being removed, even if you already fought in an earlier Initiative step.
Wargear.
Grenade launcher is 12", S4 Ap5 assault 3. Or assault D3?
Frostclaws are +1S, AP2, Shred.
Stormhammer have Helfrost
Twohanded frost-axe is S+3 AP2. Strike at normal initiative when charging, otherwise at I1.
Holy fucking shit guys, the two handed axe is amazing - WELL worth 8 points if you ask me! S8 AP2 at initiative 5?? Almost better than S10 at I1 if you ask me - especially for 12 points less per model. These guys are absolutely out of control, holy shit. I will 100% be using these guys as "flesh changed" thousand sons allies, all bestial and mutated. These are so much better than possessed, I'd be furious if I were a CSM player lol

So, I'm failing to see any downside to these units. The "Curse" is a bubble buff to all your space wolf units, and the wulfen themselves are amazing.

The axe is really good, only down side is the loss of the Storm Shield when compared to the hammer. The Wulfen armor save is only a 4+, so i think the 3++ gets a lot of mileage.

Well since this is the internet and I have a boring job, let me tell you what I've observed. -"They aren't as good at thunderwolves!" -"They look dumb!" -"GW is stoopid!!!" -"Where is my Chaos codex?!" -"Plastic sisters!!!!" -"Age of Sigmar is the worst crime in human history!" Somehow all of these make it into your standard message board discussion. Though I do think there is some debate about the base strength still. However, seeing the rest of the rules, if they are base strength 5 that would probably make them almost absurdly good, as opposed to crazy good.

"I cant wait until they AOS 40k!!!" - FTFY At least the good news if they ever did is that we'd all say fuck it and 9th age the game. Which might finally give Chaos and Nids halfway decent fandexes. Not that I'd ever wish such a grave fate on 40k, just being optimistic.
