Nice model. Average painting if that's by 'Eavy metal though! Not enough to tempt me back to marines though..... |

What does it matter? It still deserves tis own thread to stop the other one getting derailed. I agree with you about the paintjob though, pretty average. |

The paint job is worse than average. Certainly not what I'd expect from Eavy Metal. Legs look useable. Depends what they've done to the codex for me. |

Saw this on BolS, actually I thought the paintjob was pretty normal for their showcase armies. The face especially is nice, very nice expression. I really like the upright poses on the new Wolvies. I wish they had those legs on the regular Marine sprue. Right now the only upright Marines are Assault Marines and some of the metal stuff. |

I LOVE IT. GREAT COMPANY ON ITS WAY, HOOAH! In all seriousness, the hair is meh, but 30 some odd heads? And clippers will make these guys real gems for marine chapters who think helmets are for pansies. The concept I already have going is to emphasize the viking aspect of the Space Wolves. Through in some Chaos Marauder parts, scary dragon bits, with a focus on flame weapons. Pillage and burn and all that goodstuff. I am trying to find a Great Company that would correspond with this image if anyone has any good ideas (looks at BDJV). |

Maybe do your own Great Company? I'm torn on that matter, as I want my own Wolf Lord, especially given the current rumours, but I also quite fancy doing Ragnar's company after reading the books. The new model I think is decent but not amazing, but I fully intend to kit bash anyway, so 30-odd extra heads, plus presumably similar numbers of chest plates, legs, weapons etc is great news. They'll also probably look much better with a different paintjob IMO, as opposed to the baby blue with bright reds and yellows. Soooo 2nd edition! |

I hope they remake Ragnar Blackmane. I want these plastics for use in DA marines or basing for DA to show what happens. |

New Ragnar would be ace, current model doesnt really sell the whole "ferocious wolf-super-man" deal, I want a dynamic monster of a Wolfmane. |

Well Wigan, you can always use counts as ![]() I think your right about making you own. More room for me to expand on the ideas I had. I hope that Logan gets redone. And they use this as an opportunity to release a Terminator Armored Captain model :D. |

The Space Wolf codex has an October release date. Here is the current round up of the codex rumors. 7/12 The Space Wolf codex has an October release date. LC's are called Wolf Claws in the new codex, you can choose to either re-roll to hit or to wound. Canis Wolfborn is the new SW SC; He's riding a very big wolf in a not so weird way as that sounds. Let just say those bloodcrushers look like grots!!! Also Canis is power armoured and has 2 wolf claws. The wolf has some cybernetic bits on it. IIRC taking Canis also allows you to take two cav choices, 1 can be SW mounted on wolves, the other is just wolves. Njal Stormcaller returns to the Codex with a new model, holding a gnarled staff out before him. Bjorn the Fellhanded returns to the codex. All special characters have been resculpted. Wolf Scouts will remain the same and they also have the option be mounted in a Land Speeder Storm There will be 2 main plastic kits, however 1 of them can be used to make pretty much every SW troop choice by combining the oooodles of spares on the sprues with normal vanilla marines kits (e.g. a box of devastators plus the extra from the sprues will make your Longfangs. IIRC there are around 30+ heads on the sprue!!! there may also be a special vehicle, but I'm not sure if it's a complete kit or if there will be an upgrade sprue to add to the existing kit. There's also a funky new way of kitting out your characters called Sagas, it is similar to the Vampiric Powers used by WFB VC, but IMO much more fitting for SW, and very fluffy, in fact it is IMO one of the best ideas GW have had in ages. You choose "sagas" for your characters, perhaps someone with Saga of the monster killer (I made that name up by the way) may be better at killing monsters (high strength things) in some way, although there could be drawbacks to this as he may need to kill so many of such things per game to continue his saga...... Space Wolves gain access to an Assault Cannon Land Raider variant. The current options for jump packs are going to change. BTW Jump Pack marines are called "Skyriders" in SW Codex. Plastic Wolfguard Terminators; they are ambidextrous, ie they will have right and left handed weapons options like Stormbolters. When asked about Pack/squad size, Brimstone says that Space Wolves will be even less Codex Astartes than they were before. Edited by BDJV, 12 Jul 2009, 09:01 PM.

Ah, I think I'll be picking some of these new ones up to masquerade as my Fire Wolves reinforcements. Quite like the idea of a lot of new head's as well, bit of variety never hurt. |

Yeah...all the rumours I heard where apparently false, when the guy coudn't back up what he said. I and everyone else who started a wolves army because of those rumors were livid. I take no responsibility in the falseness of the rumours, it wasn't my fault. |

Wait and see if my 13th Company will be in anywhere viable. I refuse to have vehicles with Space Wolves. |
