I'd be inclined to agree but it's a foolish sentiment. "We deserve this." So just because my book gets updated first, it's supposed to suck?
There are some people whose armies are out of date but who are perfectly menacing just the same; some would argue that 5th Ed has been very kind to armies like the Nids or the Dark Eldar.
I think that, fanboyism aside, the cheese factor will be obvious when every power armored army at your LGS is proxying to be the wolves, and there are all of a sudden 50 Space Wolves armies in your neighborhood overnight.
I don't think the logic of a long wait has any relevance. The length of time you have to wait for your codex does not mean it should be more powerful. I agree that this book fits the Wolves, but to deny the utter cheddar wafting from this codex is just ignorant bliss. These guys are going to be the OP flavor of the month and for the next few months we are going to be seeing Space Wolves fight Space Wolves or Space Wolves fighting Guard, and it's gonna be a long boring few months before the Nid vs. Nid stuff starts when they get an update.
I dunno. The book fits them, but it is still severely powerful and has some already-obvious power builds. It's like a whole book full of Vulkan Hestans. *shiver*
It is a great book, but the fact that all the SM armies are now so wildly different is a sure-fire sign that the others were guinea pigs, victims of the "scale back experiment" late in 4th edition along with Chaos.
Get ready for the dual of the Blackmanes!
