New SW releases: box sets/battle forces

Recommended Posts

Wondering what might come in a new Space Wolf battle force or army box set. I saw what came out with IG which was pretty meager, but SW is a army alone, not a bunch of random units that can be specialized armies on their own.

 

Would be nice to see something along the lines of the Chaos Renegade box. Heavy support, troops, transport, specialized unit, and then a WGBL that can be upgraded to a Wolf Lord if needed.

Just know way of knowing such a thing until its out or someone in the know lets it sllip. Now, what a good discussion is what would you like to see in the new battleforce box.

 

 

Me,

 

New Space Wolf Dread that everyone is talking about as the HQ

 

10 Grey Hunters Box -

10 Blood Claws -

 

2 Attack Bikes

Rhino

Thats alot for a single battleforce isnt it?

 

Well, we are wolves we should get more for being you know... wolves.

 

Seems most boxes have 4 to 5 different options. Guess the Dread was asking a bit much but a very cool wolf lord type model would be acceptiable in his place.

 

HQ

Fast attack

2 Troop types

Transport

Elite or special unit option

 

WG Vrox

Gawd, while I really really REALLY love dreads....I hope there's only the new FW one for the wolves, as right now i have 6, and having to get both a GW one and a FW one would put me in the "insane" amount of dreads category. But hey, that's what I get for being an Iron Wolf backer. More tanks, more dreads, bwaaaaa!!!

I'd say the wolves are unlikely to see a dedicated box-set set.

Marines have 3 sets already...

 

I'd be happy with chapter upgrade set, like the BT and DA have.

This would work out well for both 13th and SW players.

 

A few wolfy chests-plate, backpacks, weapons and fur... a lot of fur.

 

 

The mighty Skoll

We'll certainly get a splash release set like the DA/BA get as far as a Battleforce goes, but it's likely to be limited run. What you'll then see is a 1-3 Box sets containing upgrade sprues and/or full models like the DA Veterans and the BT Chapter Upgrade.

I couldn't agree more... I really like the wolf dreads, and they are great characterful pieces, but I might weep (into my ale) if there is another beyond the Forge World rumour for me to paint.

 

I'd be surprised if it isn't:

 

Grey Hunters

Blood Claws

Rhino

A little surprise! Bikes/jump pack/Wolf Guard probably

 

No way of knowing really though I suppose...

you'll have to forgive this dark angel his ignorance but i am really keen on having both a dark angels army and a wolves army, what i recall from the DA box set was:

1 command squad

1 combat squad

1 devastator squad

1 scout squad with sniper rifles

and 1 rhino transport

 

space marine one replaced the command squad, dev squad with normal marines and snipers with normal scouts, and adds in assault marines.

 

now surely you can make an educated guess at a transport and whatever the space wolf version of scouts are (blood claws is it? haven't read much sorry) and then it'll be filled out with wolfy stuff.

thats my best estimation, you'll have to fill in wolfy stuff for me :)

What I would like to see in new battleforce, even I think that it won't be released:

 

10 Greyhunters / Bloodclaws - sprues to make both

5 Wolf Scouts + kit to make scout leader

5 Long Fangs

1 Dreadnought - possibly with Plasma Cannon

1 Iron Priest - with updated rules

Well GW should really produce plastic dread weapon options as ordering from FW is annoying due to the minimum order value.

 

With regards to what I'd like to see.

 

Tactical Squad (I know)

Blood Claw Squad

Rhino

Dread/Wolf lord plastic kit/wolf guard

Lots of upgrade sprues!

That then means minimal effort for gw as GH could be made from normal tacs plus an upgrade sprue like the one we have but with more cool weapons and wolfy bits and we get all the special weapons tac squads do and a missile launcher for the Long Fangs! It also means you have a playable force to start with. I really want a plastic WOlf lord box with thunder hammers, frost axes and the like even though I can't see them doing it.

 

Remember it doesn't have to stay at the £50 mark as the Empire battalion is £60 but a dread is £25 normally.
