NemFX Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Back in the old days of the third edition, I used to actually get to play proper games of warhammer. But, joking aside, there was a Space Wolves unit called thralls. They were basically the SW equivalent of servitors. Were there models ever made for them? Does anyone on here still field them? Anyone converted up some? After looking through the codexes, most of the art for the Ultramarines actually has thralls helping them instead of servitors. Notably, they congregate around chaplains and dreadnaughts. So yeah, just throwing this one out there, since the Space Wolves codex is supposed to be rereleased for 2010.

Growler67 Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 So yeah, just throwing this one out there, since the Space Wolves codex is supposed to be rereleased for 2010. It's actually being released (officially) in a few weeks. Unofficial peeks are starting to arrive. No mention of Thralls yet as most people are concentrating on Vehicles, Special Characters and unit sizes. Perhaps someone who gets a good look could answer your question after they pop in this thread for a gander. I wouldn't mind some Thralls myself, but I'm one that will have to wait and see until October.

zombied00d Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 The Thralls were pretty much a holdover from the 2e codex for use with the Wolf Priest. I do not believe that there were ever SW specific servitor models made but that's largely what the unit was. IMO simply not worth the points as an unit on the whole compared to the rest of the codex, so no, I have never fielded them under the 3e codex.

Grey Mage Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 The only "Thrall" model I ever actually saw was Tzeentch thralls... sorcerous apprentices you could sacrifice to boost a chaos sorceror. To bad too... though goodness knows if the new book will have them.

Forseti Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Apparently our Iron Priests get cybernetic wolves instead now. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/177870-thralls/#findComment-2102993 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temprus Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 For a while, GW was selling Servitors in blisters marked "Space Wolves Thralls" with the code of gw8006U. Edit: found part number and full name of blister. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/177870-thralls/#findComment-2103373 Share on other sites More sharing options...
warboy Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 i've converted up some wolves a little while ago that i guess you could call thralls, they're definitely not standard imperial servitors Link to thread here. and the original idea thread (more pics further down) bonus is, if the cybernetic wolves rumour turns out to be true, i already have some models for them!

TeamLando Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 I bought the Empire Flagellants because I wanted the heads, that left me with alot of "can't use that one for a marine"-heads and some flagellant bodies. I was always thinking of using them SPARES as thrallS, and I probably will, when given time! I do hope the new codex give us some cool new rule regarding the Iron Priest, and yeah, a new min wouldn't hurt. The old mini aint bad, it's very good, but seeing regular SM's gotten like two new techmarines in a short period of time....it's not impossible.
