[Mr Mystery]

So....

Tyranid style additional unit, or Harlequin style Codex?

Place your bets please.

[Erik Setzer]

I'll just paste my comment from the article on the front page.


I'm sorry, but these models are actually bad enough to induce nausea in me. From the one's horrible Karate Kid pose, to the arms that are larger than a guy's head, and everything in between, these harken back to the worst of the worst, in league with original Lemartes and old school Nagash's head.

What happened to their design team? The new Space Wolves they'd been releasing looked pretty good (Logan's sleigh was a dumb idea but it was a sound model, and he looked good). Murderface McMurderpants was the only questionable one of the bunch, and it was more his concept and the head sticking out that made him bad.

These guys are just awful. Even the AoS stuff I don't like hasn't induced as much of a feeling of disgust in me as these have. It's like they're hiring minimum wage sculpting interns and letting them do production models.

"Best miniatures in the world"... bollocks.

- - - Updated - - -

It might be that I like Space Wolves that I find these models so revolting. But I think it's just that anything THAT bad makes me feel sick, and it's just made so much worse when you have such horrible looking bargain bin models being billed as "the best in the world" and "premium models." Price won't matter a bit to me, because if I want a unit of those guys in my army, I'll make my own. Or just hunt down the old models, which will probably be cheaper. (And if they're such jerks that they make it so you can't use the old models, I'm going to be more pissed. Folks bought them, then you kill off their army, now they have hope they can use them again... let the people use their old models! I have a feeling even if they try that, gamers will be nice enough to each other to allow it anyway.)

[Al Shut]

Have there been any better pics than the one above? I can't make out very much on that.

[Charon]

I love werewolf Jesus and the fabulous one that look like he is checking his makeup or taking a selfie with his servoskull.
Have to agree... terrible poses and way worse than their first minis in the eye of terror campaign.

Hard to believe it, but they actually made those Teen Wolf minis look good in retrospect.

Goddammit, I can't unsee.

[Learn2Eel]

I don't mind the models honestly, besides I feel the Wulfen will follow the example set by Centurions; look "awful" in the low quality pre-release images, surprise everyone with their actual good quality once viewed in person. Rules-wise I am curious how they will operate, I wouldn't be surprised if they are somewhat similar to the Word Bearers Gal Vorbak as far as stats are concerned. Hopefully they have access to transports or are fast moving as I'm assuming they are a melee centric unit.

[Defenestratus]

Curious as to which Centurion models you're looking at. The ones I see on table tops are still the horribly tubby, static, 2-dimensional models they've always been - good pics or not.

Apparently the Wolfen are 30ppm with W4, 4+ sv and FNP

[Kirsten]

Two wounds, not four

They're T4, but T in German is W. They have 2 Wounds (LP in German)

WS 4, BS 2, S 5 (maybe 3), T 4, W 2, I 5, A 3, Ld 8 with 4+ Sv and Feel No Pain (verletzung ignorieren)

Can't read the rest sorry.


And once you build some Centurions, they're a lot nicer, you see how they go together and make sense. They have as much movement as is sensible for a walking tank wearing a bigger walking tank.

[Erik Setzer]

Two wounds, three attacks, S5, T4, WS4, BS2, I5, 4+ armor... They might not have amazing armor, but they're tough sods. Can't read all the special rules in the pic I saw, the page was curved and they weren't in English.

[Demonus]

Each model may take a salvo grenade launcher xpts each
Each model may take one of the following:
Two Handed Frost Axe xpts each
Two Wolf Claws xpts each
Thunderhammer and Stormshield xpts each
One Wulfen can be upgraded to Wulfen-Pack Leader with two Frost Claws xpts
This unit may take a stormwolf as a dedicated transport

Friend linked this. I cut out the points costs but the most expensive is the same price as a scarab base :D

*edit*
abilities loosely translated so may not be 100% accurate:

Berserker (Rage? Rampage?)
-Know no Fear (ATSKNF)
-Curse of the Wulfen
-Counterattack
-Sharp senses (acute senses?)
-Feel no Pain
-Bulky
-Deathfrenzy: If a modell in this unit is killed it can move up and attack at the end of the current initiative step. This even applies if the model already has attacked.”
-Leaping Bounds: This unit can run and attack. It also rerolls failed charge rolls.

So it's a unit of hero models armed with the best gear who can ignore the limitations on running and charging (with Fleet to boot!), and can potentially attack twice in a round.

I'm a Space Wolf fan, and I still feel sick reading all that.

[grimmas]

After every other Space Wolf codex we really shouldn't be surprised anymore. Or as we said locally "cheating like a space wolf".

I'm going to hold off commenting on the model till I see them I the flesh the photography seems to do funny things sometimes. The Turox looks pants in the pictures but really works in the flesh I'm assuming it's something to do with perspective and scale.

I think the Taurox is a bit "meh" stock, but replace the tracks with a wheel kit (I know at least one site had them) and it's actually pretty nice. Went from unimpressed to wanting to get one as an Arbites Justice Wagon.

[Voracioustigger]

The double attacks certainly takes me back to the days of the Eye of Terror Codex with the 13th Company. Mark of the Wulfen gave all characters (including squad leaders) +D3 attacks. Coupled with Lightning claws or a Powerfist, they took out just about anything.

An army of Wulfen will probably be equally as silly as the original 13th Company (which were fun, but silly). I routinely reached close combat with less than a dozen models (and with only a squad of Long Fangs for supporting fire), and would table opponents easily. Different game back then, but, if I'm reading the rules right, it's possible to get 10 TH attacks of 14 Frostclaw attacks (leader) on the charge... from one model. Maybe not effective, but will certainly be entertaining if even a few models make it across the table.

[Mr Mystery]

4+ save neuters (PUN!) them somewhat by reducing resilience.

Sure. They're still pretty tough with 2 Wounds and I suspect FnP, but I can think of a fair number of S8 AP4 weapons which just came into their own :)

[Asymmetrical Xeno]

More intrigued by the new backround than rules, it sounds like a possible advance in the time line.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

50 points a model for Thunder Hammer and Storm Shield?
On that profile? Yes please. They're even better than Terminators

[zanth]

That line about brothers returning after 10k years, is it possible that Leman Russ himself might return and be playable in 40K? Or did I totally miss something in the fluff for the Space Wolves?

[spagunk]

******redacted**********

[Merellin]

10 000 years ago the thirteent great company of the spacewolves was lost when they chased the Thousand sons into the warp. They ahd a great many wulfen. Now, Wulfen are returning, So probably the 13'th company is returning.

[Mr Mystery]

Leman Russ lead that charge though....and I doubt there's anything hard enough to drop him :)

[Psychosplodge]

Leman Russ lead the charge? I thought Russ vanished at a feast taking all his Wolf Guard except Bjorn?

Also didn't they already come back during the 13th dark crusade?

[Mr Mystery]

His was the 13th Company?

I think.

I dunno. Maybe I'm confused, and the 13th Company went looking Russ?

And no. That didn't actually happen, K?

[Psychosplodge]

I think you're probably right in they're probably the ones sent to look for him? Or they followed the thousand sons, but doesn't Russ feature in the heresy post purging of prospero? so he doesn't go then.

Oh did Abaddon wake up one morning and decide not to invade this decade after all?

[Mr Mystery]

Some neckbeard brought out their tattered copy of Slaves to Darkness the copy which must never be viewed under a blacklight, and explained to him why his invasion was Mary Sue and shouldn't succeed.

Abaddon had one whiff of said Neckbeard's breath and nearly fainted - halitosis can be a killer when you've got enhanced senses.

He's currently back in the Eye of Terror whilst Fabius Bile fumes that a mere mortal could create such an intoxicating stench with no help from Chaos.

Saga Edition is looking interesting....unique dice by the look of it.

Certainly an improvement over 'we pimped yo cover, yo' of other Ltd Eds. Whether it's worth the asking price remains a matter for the individual.

[Psychosplodge]

I liked my pimped cover and shiny edged codex. I don't think it was worth what I paid for it though.

[Voracioustigger]

Sounds like we may be getting Sternhammer (13th Company Wolf Priest Special Character)...

Evidence...

1) Helfrost Pistol in wargear (that Wulfen can't take, so we would assume a new character - and Plasma Pistols are common on Wolf Priests).
2) Wulfen are apparently popping up all over (Sternhammer was the Warden of the lost (i.e. Wulfen) and could reportedly bring the Wulfen to Battles all over the galaxy with impossible speed)
3) Sternhammer has already been given official rules in the past twice (once as a supplement, once in Apoc).
4) There is a "Stormhammer" with the Helfrost ability, but the Wulfen entry appears to read "Thunderhammer" from all the translators. It seems the Stormhammer would likely be Sternhammer's special Thunder Hammer.

The original Sternhammer was a beast (and conferred the old 4+ FNP to attached Wulfen), so Wulfen may get yet ANOTHER boost if it turns out that we get a new character too.

Thanks for posting... I just noticed that those pages say there will be a "Wulfen Murderpack" formation.

The Rules page says "...and the Wulfen Murderpack makes these feral warriors even faster and more dangerous"

...as if you needed another reason to take them!

[Erik Setzer]

"Murderpack?" Really? What happened to the Space Wolves being about honor and all that? "Murder" is a death that's not justified. So suddenly the Space Wolves are all about unjustified killing? Really?

But hey, a formation? Guess I'll be converting a few more of these guys!

[Voracioustigger]

Funny - I actually created a campaign after the EoT codex came out where the 13th Company returned to Fenris, and they were followed by Chaos (chasing them) and Dark Angels and Grey Knights (supported by other forces of the Imperium) to exterminate them (though I think back then GKs were more of a novelty). Worked out well (about 1/3 of our gaming group had Space Wolf armies, so it actually worked out well) except for the fact that we used City-Fight rules for when armies made it into the Fang... and the 13th Company was utterly broken to begin with, but even more so for City-Fight.

So about this cool, original campaign... not sayin... just sayin...

[Mr Mystery]

Anyone else hoping that the Thousand Sons get a bit of new model love?

[iheartgrimdark]

No Ulric miniature leaks yet?

[Glyn Armitage]

yuck those wolfen are horrible minatures did someone hit the sculpters on the head with something? or did they have a couple to many in bugmans bar?

[mdauben]

I toyed around with the original 13th Company list back in the Eye of Terror Codex. They were perhaps a bit broken, but I loved the fluff and the miniatures. Unfortunately, these new Wulfen aren't doing it for me. :(

[Psychosplodge]

Yeah the new ones are so ugly.

[Mr Mystery]

I dunno. I'm torn.

I think they convince more as meta-human Werewolves than their predecessors. They resemble the Werewolves I'm used to seeing in such films as The Howling, American Werewolf in London and (the superb) Dog Soldiers - taller and rangier than a human.

But some of the poses? I think I want to see them in the flesh, and find out whether it's just how they've been built, rather than how one has to build them.

Only forward.

To victory.

[Hubristic]

I don't think there's been an official answer to this (at least not that I've seen) but are we thinking the wolves will get a new detachment (or at least errata to update dreads/tank squadrons etc) to bring them into line with DA/codex marines or are we just getting some formations? Seems like a wasted opportunity if it's the latter...

[Mr Mystery]

Who knows?

So far, the Campaign Books have been mini-Codex updates, especially the recent Tau one. If you've got the previous Codex and those, you don't need the reissue.

[Erik Setzer]

Murderpack is also one of the Hellbrute formations. Just sayin

Ah yes, the Helfist Murderpack.

For Chaos, that's fine (though the "Hel[blank]" naming convention needs work). Chaos has in many cases just accepted that they do some shady and awful stuff.

Space Wolves naming so much stuff after a dishonorable act that, at its core, is evil? Not one does it suggest someone needs to send a thesaurus to HQ, but it also just feels so wrong for the Space Wolves.

These two models? Absolutely sexy. I've got a converted Iron Priest but would still gladly run this guy alongside him and field two. (The nice thing is, my conversion looks pretty close to this guy!) And Ulric is a seriously nice model. Kind of funny to see an old school "heroic pose" again rather than "action pose," but it works for him.

[Green_Lumux]

I was going through the we store and noticed that the space wild tactical squad is missing; so I checked a few other countries we stores and it's completely gone there too... Any thoughts about what that means? Repacks? Hopefully they aren't dropping them to 5 man boxes like they did with grey knights and dire avengers :S

And as predicted, the Daemons formations are complete crap.

from Dakkadakka:
http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/240/678007.page#8433267


Khorne
1 Herald
8 units of either Bloodletters, Bloodcrushers or Fleshhounds

All units gain +1 attack while within 6" of one another.

All units benefit from the Heralds loci if they are within 12" of him.

Another formation:
3 Skull Cannons, squadron, may fire as one with an Apocolyptic Blast with AP3 and still Ignores cover, ouch.

Tzeentch
Herald

I was going through the we store and noticed that the space wild tactical squad is missing; so I checked a few other countries we stores and it's completely gone there too... Any thoughts about what that means? Repacks? Hopefully they aren't dropping them to 5 man boxes like they did with grey knights and dire avengers :S

In this week's White Dwarf they show repacks of a bunch of SW kits. They look exactly the same, just with Adeptus Astartes on the box like the new Space Marine kits.

[Psychosplodge]

Oooh, nice.

That's two more Rogue Trader era figures off the shelves then :)

I think the iron priest had aged rather better than most rogue trader era marines.

Latest Space Wolves minis (White Dwarf)

Ulrik - Nice mini, wasted opportunity. He looks like he’s debriefing his squad, not wading into battle. Still better than the other version of him, but I would've liked to have seen more of an action pose.

[Charon]

I would like him a lot more without the totem pole on his back. He has a very nice Odin flair. Krom on the other Hand looks embarassing as he is trying to be sporty in his servo armor attempting a split.

The Space Wolves receive an $85 "Start Collecting" box with 14 miniatures.

1 Space Marine Commander
3 Thunderwolf Cavalry
10 Grey Hunters

That would be $113.75 if bought separately. 25% Off! Not to shabby GW.

[Asymmetrical Xeno]

and if you buy it from dark sphere you can save another £9 on top of that 25% saving which is even better. glad they are continuing with these starter sets.

[Mr Mystery]

Useful set as well, even for the hoariest Long Fang.

Thunderwoof are well 'ard and always welcome.

Grey Hunters are a stupidly flexible kit.

The Commander can be readily converted up to a Lone Wolf, or any other character barring an Iron Priest.

[Psychosplodge]

But space marines on giant wolves? Still just no.

LOL! I love propaganda.

Would you like to know more?

..........If the answer is yes, please report to the nearest Adeptus Arbites precinct who have already been briefed on how to process your query.

(Citizens should be advised that all and any suspicious gunshots from within the precinct should be ignored as this is just the Arbites training.) ;)

from What's New Today
"There’s also brand-new Warlord Traits and Hellforged Artefacts for Daemons of Khorne, Tzeentch, Slaanesh and Nurgle"

but of course we all know Slaanesh is going away, because BoLS keeps saying so.

[Rissan4ever]

I knew it! The Space Wolves are a bunch of mutant freaks! Purge them with fire!

sounds like the sh1t has hit the fan for the space wolves...

[Erik Setzer]

Wait... Space Wolves are becoming new Wulfen?

I swear, if they change the Space Wolves to all be werewolves in power armor (and awful models at that), I'm going to be officially done with 40K.

I suspect at most it would be akin to the Death Company for the Blood Angels- an occupational hazard for any Space Wolf.

[Asymmetrical Xeno]

Yeah, with all the kits they've invested in for the army I doubt they would go that far. it does sound like the timeline is possibly moving forward though, perhaps they'll make the SW more rebels but still loyal to the emperor.

[Rissan4ever]

The Space Wolf geneseed is clearly tainted and must be cleansed. If any of them remain loyal to the Emperor, they'll do the right thing and offer themselves up for extermination. The Emperor is merciful, and he will forgive them.

[Psychosplodge]

That's not how space wolfs work and you know it :rolleyes:
But its nice to see the imperium embracing the traitors to their bossom and using them to cleanse the Emperors most loyal warriors.

[Andrew Thomas]

Erik, I guess you missed (or are willfully ignoring) that they've been retconed to have served the role of executioner since their inception, and that prior to the Age of Darkness, Russ and his get were the go-to Legion for when you needed something dead for sure. Russ and Bjorn aren't exactly cavalier on the subject, but then again, they aren't moping around, whining over being duped by Horus either. The Wolves, ironically enough, don't waste time romanticizing their warfare the way that the rest of the Imperium, their cousins included, do, they just accept that what they're doing, while not exactly righteous, is necessary. They really are the last faction in the game to call the state-sanctioned mass-murder they're expected to perpetrate anything more aggrandizing than what it is: murder.

[Mr Mystery]

Also goes some way to why they seek honour whenever they can - to prove they're more than just murderers.

Whilst they'll stand up to the Inquisiton when they want to wipeout survivors of a Daemonic incursion, that doesn't mean they won't think twice about slaughtering civilians when they're ordered to.

[Erik Setzer]

Also goes some way to why they seek honour whenever they can - to prove they're more than just murderers.

That's kind of my point. There's a huge deal made about how they're trying to do what's RIGHT. Even if it means killing a bunch of people, they'd consider it "justified." The term "murder" is usually used for a more evil form of killing, without necessity. So it feels just wrong for them to run around using it so much.

I think they just don't have a thesaurus around, and the current pen of writers are having a hard time coming up with new names fast enough.

[Mr Mystery]

Ooh, very nice!
