The 2nd Wave


Corver

Recommended Posts

I think we will definitely see Thunder Wolves, either forge world or a second wave boxset (that will probably be 2 models so you have to buy 2 boxes :)) They are the big 'new unit' and have cool stats, plus GW knows they will see like hot baked goods.

 

It will be very sad should they not update Ragnar, specially if they release a rhino variant and not the SW poster boy. That would be wrong. I can't see them releasing a ton of stuff though, so expect Ulric and maybe Logan to stay the same (2 new sculpts and 2 old for the SCs) No Arjac, he's easy to convert from the WG box set, or get creative with Lysander model.

 

As for time, how long was it between marine dex release and the appearance of the landspeeder storm? I'm going to bet a tankard of ale and say spring.

 

Would be nice if FW also did a land raider kit, as i'm sure LRCs will be on quite a few shopping lists.

Yeah, I thought that. But they did a Dark Angels one WAY back in 2nd edition, so why not a Space Wolves one? It would look AWESOME if it was being pulled by Fenrisian Wolves XD!

 

Or with barel of ale on the backseat...

No, No No ... that goes in the land raider and the drop pod ... to explain the two seats we lost.

 

As for a second wave, I also expect a redo of the SC ... though I could see them leaving Logan as is.

 

It's also just aberant that we don't have scultps for our HQ slots that aren't SCs, except for the EoT era rune priest. No wolf priest and no decicated wolf lord or battle leader (sure, you can make one from the boxes ... ). It's pure wishlisting, but I'd like to see a box similar to the SM HQ box that would allow us to make the various HQs, but with even more wolfy bits.

Well here's my wishlist:

Ragnar Blackmane metal blister

Ulrik the Slayer metal blister

Some good looking plastic Fenrisian Wolves, but not like those lion Freki and Geri as on mr. Abnetts SW novel plz...

 

From Forge World I expect a kick-behind resin Venerable Dreadnought/Bjorn. After those amazing Dreads for the other marines, I think I can't be wrong... :) This idea has been on my mind way before there was some solid stuff about our new dex, and I will be eating my mug if I'm wrong. :woot:

Something I forgot to mention-while I was at Games Day UK 2009, I saw one of the designers with future new models ENTIRELY made out of Green stuff-there was that Dark Angels guy with the midget carrying the helmet, a prototype thunderwolf-no-one ontop it though, and a....thingy.....it looked like a Chaos Spawn Champion...or something......
Space Wolves riding Tyranids.

 

Hahaha, after a few barrels of ale I'm sure the SW play genestealer rodeo!

 

OMG you guys read my mind! hahahahaha.

 

 

anyway 2nd wave:

thunder wolf cavalry

ragnar

logan grimnar

random box i forgot 1

random box i forgot 2

and finally:

random box i forgot 3

 

 

this is considering GW said they were going to release models if they were in the book

there is no new ragnar or logan. they, along with ulric, are going to be the same. thunderwolf more then likely, although there are no plans from GW to make one. same with the fen wolves.

i dont think we will see box sets. we have the one box that can go with all the others to make tons of things.

i thought gw said theyd be updating all the space wolf soecial characters

TWC, Ragnar, Fenris Wolves. I don't think we need special tanks accesorry (but it would be still nice)

 

What do you think about this picture, from GD: http://media.shozu.com/cache/portal/media/213fb0/117442118

On right corner. It seems like a new plastic cavalery model.

look at the codex. no new sculps. if they were going to do it, they would have shown them in there

 

Actually, its not the first time that they use old models in the pictures in codexes and army books, then bring out new sculpts in the 2nd wave. It tends to happen a lot in Warhammer, especially with the elven races. Besides the Ragnar and Ulrick models are very old, it would be worthwhile at this point to make new casts of new sculpts, than re-cut the old ones. Also Logan is a great model, but he is too small compared to the new termies. My bet is on new sculpts.

that cavalry model is canis, one of the two shown on that stand, early designer version

Popped in to have a peek at the codex and the lovely new minis, and pointed out my despair at the same (and perfectly still cool as) Ragnar sculpt (which, incidentally was released just prior to the release of 2nd edition, along with Njal and Ulrik - still got the white dwarf with 1st edition rules around here somewhere.) His response was "2nd Wave" and a knowing grin. So fingers crossed for that. No idea on the time as yet though
They are definatly re-doing Logan [again, I asked Phil kelly] but no idea about the others. I think that Ulric looks fine myself.

It seems alot of your information is the opposit of what we've heard before. Haven't it already been stated that Logan wasn't getting a remake? I'm getting kind of suspicious here... ah well might be the beer.

 

- Forgetful

Really hoping for a Ragnar re-sculpt - the current one just doesn't cut the mustard.

 

That said, been looking at the Space Wolf Pack sprues... you could put together a pretty damn fine Ragnar using some of the bits in there...

 

yeah i noticed there was a topnot head that had the same sort of gnarish snarl that he has
