Wulfen Are Returning

[grimmas]

"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!

Murderpack is also one of the Hellbrute formations. Just sayin

It's what GW will be replacing the term 'squad' with, going forward.

Only forward.

To victory.

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...

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.

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.

I think that settles it. From the image, it looks like the Tempest Hammer and Helfrost pistol are just going to be the new Ironpriest gear for SWs. No Sternhammer. Oh well.

[Mr Mystery]

Oooh, nice.

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

I'm with you on this one I think they've let themselves down it's downright sloppy

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.
