freit101 Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I'm sure all of you would know better than I would. I just recently decided to start collecting 40K space wolves but I noticed that the models that are availible are relatively older. When I asked a local games workshop employee about the availibility of some of the products he told me that I would need to direct order them from the website, stating that they were working on a new model line for the wolves. So I was just considering waiting it out until the new figures come out but I have no idea how long that would be. Anyone have any current information about this or was he just making stuff up?

Torbak the Wolf Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 i guess the gw guy might be telling the truth ... judging by past GW codex release experience, chances of them release some models to go with the new codex is very high ... so lets keep our fingers crossed for some new wolves to incorporate into our battles :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vassakov Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Last "current" info was that a GW design team member at GDUK "couldn't possibly comment" on new models, but said that if we were hoping for something like the DA/BT sprues we were unlikely to be disappointed.

Dark Bjoern Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I would not expect them befor 3rd quarter this year, more likely 4th quarter. Last GDUK it was mentioned that a new C:SW and new models are in work but it would take 12-18 month until they will be released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kittenofdeath Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 i heard that a new wolf guard with lightning claws will be comming out soon, but the GW worker who told me about it said it wouldnt be any sooner than late march Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyshift Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 On Warseer Brimstone said that we'd be getting new Wolf Scouts and a Ragnar model when the new Codex comes out and he's a pretty damn good source IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freit101 Posted January 25, 2009 Author Share Posted January 25, 2009 Sounds very cool, I don't know if I feel like waiting until the 3rd or 4th quarter of the year to start collecting them. On the other hand it just doesn't seem that smart to use a codex that I may only end up using for a few months. Dilemma... Thanks for the responses everyone. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vassakov Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Well, I shouldn't worry about the Dex, as it's free from GW Canada, just email them and print (although I was told at the GW UK Schools League that PDF'd and printed Dexes weren't allowed - he didn't answer when I asked what to do if that's the only one left :) Fortunately I'm taking Daemons) As for models, don't WYSIWIG them with anything that will obviously be removed in 5th Ed - the 4x Assault Cannon Pod of Doom being a good example. Vehicles are pretty safe with the exception of the LRE. You can easily bash together a few Grey Hunters and Blood Claws, they'll be perfectly usuable still and a fairly basic Wolf Lord should round you out nicely.

Cassarus Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 yeah the good old 2ed codex was a good read fluff wise, but the army was a bit... well nasty^^ Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonDrakenstorm Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Last thursday, I discuss with the Nice(France) GW manager. He's a SW and he had some infos about new models. He said that with the new translation of the 2nd SW novel in french there would be some new figs like a fenrissian wolf, like the one Ragnar killed. Imagine wolves as big as a SM in your army !!!
