Roland Durendal Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Now, I am a skeptic, and don't believe everything I hear or read, but I feel as fellow brothers of the fang, I may as well impart what I "heard" concerning our new 'dex which has been apparently "confirmed" by someone over at Warseer. Again take with plenty o salt. Here be what's "confirmed": - Grey Hunters have 'Ubergrit' (Bolter/BP/CCW) and Counter Assault. Possibly Stubborn. - BC's are WS4/BS3 with Furious Charge - Frag/Krak standard all around - Wolf Guard are SGT equivalent upgrades to squads. Those were the big things that stuck of what I heard. Feel free to offer any opinions on these so called "confirmations". Personally I like them, but as I said I am skeptical as to whether its true or not. As an aside, I know there are plenty of "rumor" and "wishlist" threads, but I figured I'd start one with what is coming out as apparently confirmed. Mods feel free to move or delete if you feel it necessary. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/163373-apparently-confirmed-rumors/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellfury Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Hmmm those would be interesting if true. Though it would be nice if wolf guard were like eldar warlocks who could form a squad, but can also be placed in other squads as well.

Utsujin Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Yea, I saw some of that stuff on either warseer or another forum, but the posts were back from september of 08. I bet half that stuff I told you roland is probably true as it's been circulating through the rumor mill for quite some time. I also heard wolf guard can still be their own seperate unit. Divided either by terminators or PA wearing guard. Thats it so far. I hope we dont get a crappy PDF dex though, I heard that we might get that as well.

JEFF4i Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 1, 2, and 3 make sense... But WG as sergeants? I dunno...the idea of Wolf Guard is they are the personal bodyguard of a Wolf Lord who sometimes take on other tasks...we'll see though.

Megalodon Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Old news, mostly dating back to last April. At this point nothing is confirmed other than we are getting a new dex sometime after IG.

I dunno...the idea of Wolf Guard is they are the personal bodyguard of a Wolf Lord who sometimes take on other tasks...we'll see though. Having them as Sgt. upgrades doesn't prevent them from being the Wolf Lords elite warriors assigned to lead a pack. It'd be cool if we weren't obligated to take them ... but if we are it's not the end of the world either. Just to add to this thread. I've been following the IG rumour thread on Warseer and apparently the new Leman Russ Exterminator has an autocannon that is Heavy 4, twin linked. If we still get it in our dex, it might give it that extra boost over the Predator to make it worth the extra points. Having the lumbering rule would be cool too.

Wolf Guard Hengist Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I reckon were in for a flat and dull cut and paste + edit of the new Space Marine codex with no armoury etc. But that is just my miserabale moaning opinion as I aint looking forward to the new dex.

stinkenheim Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 i think it all depends who writed our new dex as to how cool it is... if we get someone who loves the amry (like i supsect the new I.G was if the rumours are anything to go by) then we could be in for a treat... but either way, it will at least stop the constant whinges of how 'broken' our codex is because GW couldn't be bothered to update it in 2 1/2 editions... pah... i need a sit down and some ale... and yeah the exterminators rules look like they could give it the boost that many think it needs... 14-13-11 armour anyone... 4 shot autocannon... oh and wahts that, it can move and fire evrything... oh sweet jesus as for the w.g. as sergeants... doesn't bother me too much cos i take them in every squad anyway... aslong as the still form a retinue for our characters and have good equipment lists i'll be almost happy Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/163373-apparently-confirmed-rumors/#findComment-1920570 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeti Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I reckon were in for a flat and dull cut and paste + edit of the new Space Marine codex with no armoury etc. But that is just my miserabale moaning opinion as I aint looking forward to the new dex. Frankly, I don't think it'll be that bad. I look at the option in the SM codex and see a lot of potential for a very fluffy, very caracterful SW codex. So we don't get an armory ... every HQ now has his own little armory section with all the options that were there before anyways. Swap "digitat lasers" for "wolf tooth necklace" and "relic blade" for "frost weapon" and you'll have trouble telling the difference with our current 'dex. Except for TDA, the current Honor Guard & Command Squads are just as customizable as our current Wolf Guard ... I'd say even more so. If you really want to accompany your HQ with termis ... get a terminator squad. We may not be able to get the assault cannon spam ... but is that really a bad thing? For me the biggest test will be how they translate our basic units. I don't want to see heavy weapons in GHs and I want to be able to have packs of more than 10 BCs. Our Ven Dred still has to kick all kinds of butt. The scouts need to keep OBEL. Another big test will be the various "fixes" that need to be brought to certain units. - If HQs are going to be costing 150-200pts, they'll have to do something about the retinue rule. The stats boost and special rules are cool, but not if they kill the effectiveness of the rest of the army. - BC jump packers need to be seriously re-costed ... bikers too. - Something need to be done with Long Fangs. In any case, I'll be in line at the LGS to buy it the day it comes out ... hopefully i'll have a decent paying job by then I be able to buy all the cool new releases too!

Spacefrisian Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Their were also rumous in the Inquisition board that our dex has been finished and that Phil Kelly will start work on the Deamonhunter dex.

Vassakov Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Their were also rumous in the Inquisition board that our dex has been finished and that Phil Kelly will start work on the Deamonhunter dex. Aye, our Codex is apparently done according to a few sources of mine. As it's release is currently said to be Sept-November (basically the UKGD release) then it makes sense that it is done now, solid rumours should start to appear from mid summer (probably the US GD circuit) with minis at a similar time. For anyone worried by Phil Kelly, his repotire includes 'Nids, Eldar and Orks, as well as Warriors of Chaos for WHFB. Ours should be fantastic.

Ours should be fantastic. ignore the eldar 'dex (cos i've never played with or against the latest incarnation) and that sounds like ours will be sooo sweet. loved the new ork and chaos books, so much flavour, so cool and so fun ^_^ you guys have made me a very happy pup... as for the idea that it will be released around the uk GD... well lets just say i've been saving up for the last few months as it seemed likely that it'd be released then if it was out anytime this year...

muzzyman1981 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Yeah, for all the cool stuff that the Orks got (not to mention all the other stuff he's done) we should get some REALLY good characters but not so much as to ruin things. Plus he understand close combat armies from his works so that should translate well to Space Wolves.
