LoneSniperSG Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 As ecstatic as I was about the new Imperial Guard codex release this year, I was still looking forward to the brand new completely updated Space Wolves codex! I didn't even anticipate it until December. So there I go, strolling into my LGS, I notice my friend is working and chat with him for a few minutes, then turn to look at the 40k section and there it is. Codex: Space Wolves, sitting out on display like a shiny gem. I nearly fell over (Not joking). So, I've got a box of the new pack, the new codex and the latest GW. Now I think i've read enough of the new stuff to give out my opinion on the new codex. .. This thing is solid gold. Everyone remember how we were called "Space Puppies?" to me, that reflects the OLD codex. The dusty archaic thing that kept us going for seven years. Compared to that little 30-page book, the new codex has made us all into Space Werewolves. We've now got THREE forms of cavalry! Jump-pack Bloodclaws are now a true force to be reckoned with instead of a side note. Grimnar, Blackmane, Ulrik and Njal are badder than ever before. We have all three Land Raider types available, new wargear all over the place, and the new models are crazy awesome to the point where I can make my co-workers exclaim "Hey, that's pretty awesome!" Although we lost our beloved Leman Russ Exterminator (Which means I now have to change my banner and repaint/modify mine for IG), we gained much more in new things, and so many old things have been revitalized and restored. It's a good time to be a Space Wolf. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/182815-lones-take-on-the-new-dex/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhorse47 Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Agreed, but I'm keeping my Exterminators for Apoc games. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/182815-lones-take-on-the-new-dex/#findComment-2162645 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nilsson Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 The New codex is gold, just so much gold it is that it made me sell rougly 5000pts worth of Space Marines for a restart, with only new models. Better paintjob. And lots, lots of droppods. Have a cold one on me; Nilsson Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/182815-lones-take-on-the-new-dex/#findComment-2162888 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Token Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 It's great, but we kinda got screwed out of the new th/ss termies, but those guys are cheating anyways. Is the 20p heavy bolter marine to cheap? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/182815-lones-take-on-the-new-dex/#findComment-2162906 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneSniperSG Posted October 25, 2009 Author Share Posted October 25, 2009 It's great, but we kinda got screwed out of the new th/ss termies, but those guys are cheating anyways. Is the 20p heavy bolter marine to cheap? Realistically speaking, the machine gun has always been the cheapest and easiest firesupport weapon to deploy. 20 pts for a marine with a heavy bolter makes sense to me when taking that into consideration.

Token Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 It would be fun to use a planetstriek defense force with 30 heavy bolters, lots of dakka.. I probably won't, but would be cool.
