Spearhead for Space Wolves


Night Runner

Recommended Posts

??? who are you?

 

anywho i highly doubt the stormraven will be a multi released unit. if you can provide support for your rumours then be my guest and i look into them. however such a thing hasnt happened since the crusader if night runner is right. such things havent happened since the 2nd edition. if you can clearly give a reason as to why the stormraven would be spread to any chapter via expansion then let me know.

 

in the end though brother ramses please respect your betters and hold your tongue before you lose it. have a good day now whelp and maybe learn from your own words yes?

 

just out of cursiosity, before you typed that sentence, did you ceck the post count or the joined date before you called somebody a whelp?

 

-------------------you-------------b. r.

join date--------july 07----------august 02

pot count-------489--------------1226

 

so not only does he has almost 5 years on you, he doubles (almost triples) your post count.

so be respectful to you elders, whelp, or suffer your own threat.

Yeah, that's the other thing. If the Raven Guard flier uses similar rules - and I imagine they're the same thing - I have no doubt codexes and Space Wolves will be given access to it with some IA rules.

 

Yes, it'd be IA, so tournament use would be iffy, the model will probably a big expensive pile of resin. but it's actually not a model I'd actually want to use for tournaments. I'd like it for for some fun games, kicking sky claws out the door and a dreadnought with them.

same for black templars, even the old blood angels, once again dark angels. im sorry but forever and a day this wont happen.

land raider crusader maybe? just a thought

 

im sorry but the answer is still a firm no.

in your opinion

 

I honestly thought the Storm Raven was the thing Forge World were working on for Raven Guard, announced mid/late last year.

most probably

i took this photo at GDUK 09

i was told by the FW creator (in short) that it was basically "a flying land raider" those words

a form of lander smaller and nimbler than the thunderhawk

here are some pics of my favourite examples from the PORTFOLIO of ideas, this wasnt created on a whim

just my two pennies

I agree the Storm Raven just doesn't fit the space wolves at all. However, a land based assault vehicle somewhere between the landraider and rhino would have been a nice addition!

 

well that sort of thing has been rumoured in the fluff for ages. the land raider apparantly has system redundances in it that Landists (i think- basically the follows of Magos Land the guy who discovered the LR STC) believe could hide a heavy armoured tank that would sit somewhere between a predator and a LR. apparantly they were around in the heresy but lost, likely when a FW went rogue or when Mars went into civil war.

 

OT chances of it spreading between codexes is minimal. If GW release a kit for it and it sells well then it will likely be put into the next C:SM but they won't do it within a month or two of BAs coming out for fear of it taking the gloss off o their new toy

I'm just looking forward to getting my two Predator Annihilators out of the case, along with three Land Raiders (And a Crusader, not that it'll do much...) ad mess around with tanks.

 

I'm torn by the idea of the supplement though, I like the lasting feeling of a proper book but it would make WD worth picking up again if they do it right, apart from issues that have obvious interests for me

I'm looking at that forge world WIP, and all I can think "Squad comes out of one ramp, dreadnought comes out the other..."

 

I havent read the BA rules for it yet, but i think the rumors said it could take a full squad AND a dreadnaught.

 

I thought looking at the pictures it was more like a combat squad each side, and a dreadnaught out the rear.

The blood angel storm raven is a 12 12 12 skimmer fast vehicule who can transport 12 marines (even with jump pack if I remember correctly) and 1 dreadnought with spirit of the machine, anti-melta rules, 1 twin assault canon 1 twin heavy bolter and 4 miisile S8 PA1. There no picture or drawing but it's describe as an smaller thunder hawk with claw for the dreadnought (like the FW vehicule thundeerhawk transport). For the background it's a vehicule know for a moment by mars technopriest but they don't use it's cause they still looking for corruption. However two "chapters" already use it blood angel (and successor) and grey knight.

 

The best rumours of a storm raven model is not before october made by Ulfhedin of tempus fugitives who work at GW when we ask him about the design of a similar vehicule. (but he maybe only speak of the FW model who look like too the storm raven)

 

The FW model look like much in design the storm raven but it was name storm eagle and are likely don't transport dreadnought (but maybe he will transport 2 squad)

storm frog? i havent heard that one before

 

It's not surprising. Rumours regarding StormFrog Mk 1 transport were leaked just recently. A week and half ago, something like that IIRC...

 

really? thats a terrible name i thought u guys were taking the P lol

your wrong about the stormbird. no other chapter will get it, your rumor is made up bunk or never going to happen.

 

and no reyrex gw in this case isnt it for the $$$ as you put it. its a blood angel item just as thousand sons are chaos, wave serpents are eldar, raiders are dark eldar (but wait couldnt they do an out of codex cross bound wave serpent for the dark eldar?) wolves are for space wolves, the stormraven is for the angels. its not going to be a cross codex unit. sorry end of story.

 

 

Black Templars. Land Raider Crusader.

 

 

That is all.

now i know it is for their company and what not but to me it seems that GDUBs is just pushing supplements out the door left and right. Which is kind of annoying to me personally. I like the prospect of new models for the game as a whole, just i feel that they are shoving more new content at us every month.

 

then again maybe i just don't play enough to desire more then a basic game every now and then...

 

 

I too feel like you, to many supplements, great for hardcore gamers but pointless for me as I dont even game that much anymore,

Yes, but at least they are optional supplements. I have yet to buy, read, or play with Cityfight, Cities of Death, Apocolypse, or Planetstrike. They are great for people who play all of the time, but the basic rules are fine for anyone who doesn't get to play too often.

 

The good thing about the supplements is that they bring fresh ideas and concepts which occassionally get incorporated into new codices, or new editions to the game. They also allow for some new models to be made.
