an all plastic chapter upgrade set containing:

-wolf priest helmet

-wolf priest crossarius

-various bare heads

-various wolfy helmets

-plastic frost blades

- iron priest head

-space wolf terminator upgrades

-space wolf shoulderpads

- various wolf items: wolf pelt, wolf tails,wolf tooth necklace

-plastic arm with a hawk to represent chooser of the slain

and lots of other bits

Hi all just wanted to see what space wolves boxset people want to come out first assuming we get new models with our shiny new book, i personally hope the first models out are new plastic wolf guard terminators.

 

I doubt we'll see anything of the sort, repackaging of the old sets with a new Chapter Upgrade sprue is what I'm wagering on. New pewter Ragnar and Ulrik models would be nice but I'm not holding my breath.

 

Like Hendrik I'm just hoping for a Chapter Upgrade sprue like the Black Templars and Dark Angels have with lots of plastic wolfy bits. A Wolf Helm, big fancy Chainsword ala Frost Blade, and various upgrades and wolfy parts. The current SW sprue is nice but rather limited.

 

Anyway why would GW make plastic Wolf Guard Terminators? The regular plastic termies not good enough? ;) The Wolf Guard Termies really aren't any different except they're usually given bare heads and wolfy bits but the models are really the same, or if you must Forge World has an upgrade set.

I would really want to see our very own Fenrisian Wolves with bit upgrades like Space Marine armor face bits and spiked collars and a more...

 

AWWOOOOOO

 

 

Something like these with the "Celtic" themed Armor bits? I too would like to see some new "Fenresian Wolf" models. The Cold Ones and Lizardmen have been updated several times and yet the SAME old Wolf models are being used since 3rd Edition Fantasy. :cuss?!?!? The pictured Wolves are actually more to scale (fluff wise) as described in the older Codices and Novels.

yeah i was thinking a space wolves termie sprue including the normal marine termies, like how grey hunters were basically a tactical squad with an extra sprue, also where the hell do i get those kick ass wolf models?????

Did you NOT see the link within? They are Circle of Orobos models from the Hordes game. Don't know where you hail from so maybe see if your local game store carries Hordes, or look online from your favorite vendor.

Well Grey Hunters lack the Tactical Squad upgrade sprues, remember packaging and shelf space are expensive, there's zero reason for a repackaged Terminator unit. The most practical and probable thing like already said would be Terminator parts on a Chapter Upgrade sprue, exactly like how the BT and Dark Angels sprues work, those both include alternate pads and the DA one also includes alternate legs and arms for Terminators, I see no reason why the Space Wolves wouldn't do just fine with that sort of thing or would need a seperate box. Actually a cheapish Chapter Upgrade sprue would probably remove the need for Grey Hunters though Blood Claw boxes are still the only way to get a sizeable number of non-jump pack CC marine troops. Even BT players buy a lot of Blood Claw boxes.

For the new units that I'd like to see:

 

1. New and improved Ragnar Blackmane

 

2. New and improved Ulrik the Slayer

 

3. New and improved Iron Priest (with a serious revision on the rule set; please make these guys worthwhile).

 

4. Return of Njal Stormcaller with new and improved model

 

5. Return of Bjorn the Fell Handed with new and improved model (or plastic upgrade kit for standard Dreadnought box)

 

6. Chapter upgrade sprues (similar to DA/BT) that would enable modification from stock Space Marine boxed sets to create appropriate Space Wolves packs: Wolf Guard in PA, Wolf Guard in TDA, Wolf Scouts, Long Fangs, Grey Hunters, Blood Claws.

 

7. In addition to the things above, I'd like to see some brand new things. That is one of the aspects that I liked about the most recent, 5th edition Space Marines codex - there were several new units, vehicles, weapons, and equipment; all were appropriate and acceptable. I'd like to see some new things sprinkled in with all of the tried and true Space Wolves stuff.

LandSpeeder Storm is inbound already. How it might be best exploited by SW Scouts is yet to be determined (OBEL).

How about a SW box and a chapter upgrade sprue?

 

The box will be like a chaos marines box 2 sets of 2 sprues with enough parts for 5 BP/CCW or bolter marines(So 10 in total) and a 5th sprue with special weapons, swords, fists and the like. Also how about some special plastic wolf shoulder pads to include in there. Not just 1 wolf guard one. And wolfy legs with no :lol::purity seals.

i believe if they redo the grey hunters they should include a ccw sprue like the blood claws get, in other words making blood claws and grey hunters come in the same box, seems the best way to do this, it would allow for grey hunters to properly show their equipment
Another idea!!!!

Leman Russ exterminator!!!

 

I heard there was a platic kit before or an upgrade for the original leman russ.

 

A new Leman Russ kit with variant options is heavily rumored for the new IG release and Forge World has a conversion kit already. :angry:

If we get to keep the Leman Russ and get their rumoured new rule: "Lumbering Behemoth", my Predator Destructor can say bye bye because I want:

AV 14 13(?) 10, fires 2 TL STR7 AP4 and 9 STR5 AP4 shots AND MOVE 6 INCHES!, bye bye Stormtroopers with AP3 Hellguns.

At 180pts? Hell, I'll buy it!
