Fury_of_Fenris Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 hey there guys if you cant already tell im new. ive been deciding whether or not to collect the new vanila marines or i think that is what they call them but i really like the modeling side of it and space wolves are really good with all there cool gear. i was just wondering is it worth it taking and original chapter especialy when all the new rules came out for space wolves. and since the codex is heaps old does that mean that space wolves wont really play as good?

deedark Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 From a modeling point of view wolves win hands down, much better opportunity to customise your models Wolves are cool go for it - the codex will arrive eventually and although a pain without it - wolves are totally playable D.

Wolf89 Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 There are lots of posts on this kind of subject, to get a better answer I'd use the search function and read what others have posted and it might help you to better decide. We don't have a downfall with our old codex, we're better than most armies out there currently, and it seems a lot of people are catching onto this fact... The vanilla marines are better than they were, but you'd be following a lot of gamers in the new "rush" to get the new space marines and all their cool stuff (which people forget Space Wolves also get access to as well). The problem I have whenever I play vanilla lists, I find I'm "lonely" with all the special stuff I get with my Wolves and always feel like I should have played them instead for the game. So I try my best to find new ways of playing my Wolves so I don't get bored.

DragonPup Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Ebay, non GW stores. I believe GW Canada will also email you a (badly) scanned copy of it in PDF still.

muzzyman1981 Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Basically you go to the Space Wolf Codex on the Canada site and "buy" it. It costs nothing and when they get your "order" they will email you the copy of it. http://ca.games-workshop.com/storefront/st...&orignav=10 That should be the link for the Space Wolves section of the Canada website, if thats ok to do, if not feel free to delete. All you have to do is as I said buy the Codex and they will email it for free.

muzzyman1981 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I haven't yet got the Battleforce but everyone I have talked to and from what I know is in the set it is an excellent buy....if you can get it, no questions asked. As for why they would do that with the Codex, well the Codex is so old it just wasn't worth it to keep getting it printed (probibly also due to most players have the Codex as well) but they needed a way for people to still get the Codex in its entirety....hence "buying" it from the Canada site, although maybe they should also do it for the US as well but hey, we can't all get what we want and the Canada one is just as good.
