Valerian Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Okay, I looked around on here and didn't see this posted anywhere, so I figured that I ought to; you know, for the morale of the Fang and all. Anyway, according to the rumor-monger Harry, famous over on the Warseer website, Phil Kelly is finished with the Space Wolves Codex (and is now working on Grey Knights). This rumor confirms 1) That the codex release shouldn't be too far off now (a late fall or winter release is plausible), and 2) The codex design lead: Phil. Enjoy and discuss, Valerian Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/164519-space-wolves-codex-finished/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vassakov Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 It's been done for awhile, however some more recent rumours - especially those concerning Space Hulk and the Trygon have indicated it might have slipped. As GW have cracked down massively on their rumourmill, we probably won't have anything until the Gamesdays in late summer.

OnlyInDeath Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Well, it's nice that the dex may be finished, and it confirms what we have been hearing all along, that Phil was the one working on the dex (think we knew that one for over a year now). However, that being said, as far as I've heard, the only SW model that was due to be released this year already has been (the collectors ed SW WG w/ LC's). Even if our dex is written, doesnt mean that we have any new product line to actually release the wolves under. However, that being said, neither did the BA's, so they may just be giving us a dex only and hoping that we will be happy with what we got for models. Again tho, if that's the case, why have they stopped producing any SW models, in effect clearing inventory of their old molds. My guess is the rumor over early '10 is looking more accurate, as that would give them time to get models under production.

The_Betrayed_Spacewolf Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 mind you the tyrgon and the playtest tyranid codex were all a hoax. i dont trust anything said on warseer as far as i can throw a space wolf Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/164519-space-wolves-codex-finished/#findComment-1934441 Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, there is an image of something in the Apoc rulebook which is apparently not a FW conversion - the owner has said that. Furthermore, it's been confirmed by several sources (Harry, Brimstone, Scryer) that multiple Superheavy kits for a variety of races were well on the way... a Trygon being given as an example of something that was being worked on.

arcath Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Im just going to go ahead and quote my source. Take it for what it is. He told me this in late February. Okay, I had a major nerd out while I was there, and they had just finished a lot of new stuff. - They were done the new codex and a ton of new models, and were in process of doing photography for them - I don't know if the new models were in a state where they are ready for manufacture yet. I did glimpse some plastic Wolf Guard terminators they were working on, and they looked top notch and dynamically posed. - From what I inferred, I think a set of Space Wolf stuff might be one of their big yearly releases, much like Black Reach. - One of the coolest things I saw was a new special unit! It was a Space Wolf in terminator with two lightning claws riding on top of a giant wolf. Coolest effing thing I've seen. - As for when it comes out, it's probably looking to be next year. Perhaps late this year at earliest. No one was sure when I spoke to them.

Dark Bjoern Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 That´s old, at least two years. You can see it on the FW homepage. It was a conversion for a GD. The thing with a new C:SW out at Dec is something that i hear for 3 years now. I will only believe it when i hold him in my fingers.

Durfast Spiritwolf Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 It's beyond rumour: every time I go into one GW store or trade stand and mention that I have wolves, the staff ask if I'm looking forwards to the new Codex and how they are planning a new SW Army or dusting off their old one :ermm: I understand that it will be more retinue based with packs/clans following a certain style in a broadly similar way to Orks. So whilst they have Speedsfreaks, Goffs, Flash Gits etc, SW would have Iron Wolves, Blackmane, Morkai etc. I think that we can safely expect something around Games Day UK.

Sons of Horus Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 a termie riding a wolf would look just ugly! :) i certainly hope they don't do it.

Rommel44 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Yeah, that model looks terrible :D Anyway, I personal think that we will most likely see some point changes (cheaper GH and LF please :unsure: ), new special characters, the 13th company in our codex and maybe a new unit. Besides that, i'm not sure what else they could do.

Marek Grimfang Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 That model in itself is superb. As a centre piece or as a GD piece, very pleasing to look at. However, applying something of those lines to the actual game, aside from Chaos, takesaway from the game and feel of the game. I would be upset if something of that nature ended up in our Codex, and the book would lose credibility in my camp.

Valhalla Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Yeah, that model looks terrible :) Anyway, I personal think that we will most likely see some point changes (cheaper GH and LF please B) ), new special characters, the 13th company in our codex and maybe a new unit. Besides that, i'm not sure what else they could do. I'd also like to see the 13th company incorporated in the new dex, probably with a HQ choice that would allow you to play them as Troops. They'd probably also need rending and furious charge. I'd also like to see blood claws get boosted to WS 4 and gain furious chare in favor of Beserk charge. Other Additions I'd like to see: Wolf Priests either gaining Litanies of hate or Healing potions as part of their standard kit. Fenrisian Wolves drop to 10 points Logan needs a complete overhaul as he's nowhere near worth his points cost right now I like the idea of an HQ giving you certain army abilities and this is the new GW trend (Dark Angels, SM, Orks) I expect that Wolf Guard will now be incorporated in every GH and BC squad as a squad leader Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/164519-space-wolves-codex-finished/#findComment-1935739 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I so want to believe he's right :tu: Frankly I've had enough of rumors. Until it's released and I can see/order it, they won't exist. That they are coming has been the only fact to date. I'll dust mine off and get excited when things are seen and not "heard". I can't plan my builds until know 'what I can' and 'how many of' I can have in my units. Do as you all see fit.
