It´s not allowed to post copyrighted material on this site w/o permision. But i can tell you this much:

Space wolfs.

They have alot of true grit. So alot of your troops has both bolters and 2 attacks in cc.
The champions have alot of upgrades that gives them bonuses in cc. +D3 attacks that hit on 3+ and stuff alike. And some things that offers counter charge.
They generaly have alot of cc goodness and lack alot of tanks.
No speeders, predators, whirlwinds, landraiders and so on.

They are cool in general, esp with all that cc goodness, but hmm...
they are special, since they dont realy have that many kinds of units.

I dont know if im looking at the newest edition. But im quite positive that they get their own new dex in december.

Armybuilder might have some data on the space wolfs. Go tjek it out if you cant get the dex.

One tank they do have is the Leman Russ, as it's named after their Primarch

They can take any take they just use the entries from the space marine codex

I am actually starting a SW army (got 1 tac squad painted) and the bottom line is they are basically Marines with most of the names switched. Instead of a psychic hood it's a runestaff, instead of a librarian it's a rune-priest, instead of a Dev squad its a Longfang pack etc.

They are pretty much like regular marines. They do have "true grit" as standard though. Their Dev squads can also split fire, which is pretty cool. They used to be special in that they got venerable dreads but now I think all marines can get them.

Space Wolves do not believe in drop pops or jet packs (they are for sissies!)

They also get Bloodclaws, which are young Space Wolves that get +2 attacks on the charge but they have lower WS.

There is a special choice called Wolf Guard, which are sort of like mini-characters with different wargear that you can attach to a regular squad as a kind of leader. They can also form a retinue for a character. That is the only way to get terminators by the way.

They get a Leman Russ variant that is good at killing mass troops but which has no ordinance weapon.

Finally their characters can get a sweet weapon called a Fostaxe that is a power weapon that adds +1 STR!
