"Second Wave" of Minis

Recommended Posts

So I keep hearing about a second wave of Space Wolves plastic stuff being released sometime in the near future; is this just everyone's heartfelt wish or do we have some sort of confirmation that there will be new stuff sometime in the next year or so?

 

Forgeworld have said there will be a future Forgeworld Release of some sort.

 

Perhaps GD Baltimore will provide some Information. Imagine if Imperial Armour 9 was Space Wolves vs XXX. I would cry with happiness, and even more if some new SW stuff perhaps is previewed there. ;)

Ive heard- without any cited sources- that the next IA will be SWs vs Eldar.

 

It makes the eldar in my very sad.

Bah, there just ELDAR!!

 

I would love to see some Wolves released within this next year from both GW main, and FW. But I have heard less than nothing about that actually happening.

For all our sake, let's hope it's true. If so, it will be the first IA I'll have ever bought.

Oh there will almost certainly be a 2nd Wave release. When is another matter, on an 6-12 month delay, or more with some codexies we may have a while yet to wait before any new Space Wolf models come along. We waited 10 years for a Codex, I don't see why a few months makes a big difference though. Daemons and Imperial Guard just got their own fantastic second wave releases, we'll get ours soon enough.

Personally I don't see a second wave happening at all. We have more than enough box sets to make a completely "Wolfed-out" army and because the new kits are so well varied, scratch building heroes is a cinch. The only thing GW hasn't given us is a stable Thunderwolf Mount and with all the 3rd party guys making Thunderwolves I'm really surprised GW hasn't stepped in to steal that market.

 

Another surprise was GWs lack of a Ragnar model with the first release. Ragnar is the poster boy for the Space Wolves, but Njal got a new model? Ulrik deserves one as well, Bjorn perhaps, but Logan's model is fine enough.

Well that's the thing, the 2nd Waves are not huge. For the Space Wolves I would not be surprised if the 2nd Wave includes Thunderwolves and a handful of new Character sculpts but nothing more completely Space Wolf. We may see something else like a vehicle conversion kit or maybe plastic Thunderfire or something generally marine to fill out the wave some more but I doubt it will be big. Doesn't mean it won't happen though.

Yeah, I really just want to see Thunderwolf models and some Fenrisian wolves. I'd like to field them but I don't want to sink a huge amount of money into 3rd party minis.

 

This as well, I mainly happen to be interested in TWC and alot of them, so I could really benefit from seeing a GW unit of them as I won't have an issue with tourneys should I ever go to another one...

logan is fine as he is no where near as static as ragnar and ulrik. thunderwolves would be good fenrisian wolves are fine being represented as goblin wolf riders (go look at 2nd ed. codex and deny it i dare you) everything else is fine as is. maybe a wolf priest model.

While the sculpt itself is "Fine", I agree with Beef in that it is pretty wimpy standing next to a plastic WG Terminator. Unless we get a new one, mine will be scratch built just because of that reason.

Compared to the other Special Characters of his age I think Logan is fine. Being a little small is no bad thing when its still a well sculpted model with an awesome pose. In fact I use that model as the basis for a Wolf Guard Battle Leader that accompanies my plastic Terminators all the time and he doesn't stand out as wimpy.

 

The ultra static and dated Ragnar and Ulrik are the ones that really... really need new models.

I think what is needed (at some point 2nd wave or the far future)

 

Updated Ragnar, Ulrik, and Iron Priest sculpts, and (less severely needing) a Logan Grimnar update.

 

Thunderwolf Cavalry and Fenrisian Wolves/Cyber Wolves

 

The inclusion of a generic Wolf Priest blister. Since right now there is only one, and it was available only at a Games Day 2003 in the past, therefore being quite difficult to get for a dignified price, or at all. Although strictly speaking we don't need one, since it can be kit bashed out of other Chaplain parts etc, but it would be nice to have a excellent sculpt as well.
