Tsavong Lah Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 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. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/208931-second-wave-of-minis/#findComment-2492698 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heru Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 If we look to Daemons, who have just now got their 2nd wave, it's likely going to be a long time before we see any more Space Wolf stuff from GW main.

It makes the eldar in my very sad. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/208931-second-wave-of-minis/#findComment-2492703 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune_Priest_Rhapsody Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 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. -R_P_R Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/208931-second-wave-of-minis/#findComment-2492710 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vash113 Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 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.

Kenmichi Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 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.

Beef Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 The Logan mini sis to small compared to the new plastic termies. The sculpt is great but its let down by its tuiny size. I agree we dont really need a second wave. Just an update on the special characters.

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. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/208931-second-wave-of-minis/#findComment-2492916 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsavong Lah Posted August 20, 2010 Author Share Posted August 20, 2010 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.

Kassill Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 My thinking on a second wave would be updated characters and some vehicle bits. Maybe some varied shoulders with raised iconogrophy of the different companies would be nice, kinda like how the released the CF ones.

DapperDave Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 If the gods of forgeworld are listening: please do something with Ragnar that's better than the current "I'm a little teapot" pose... such a cool character deserves better.

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...

archangel23 Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 What about a new Ulric the Slayer, he is by far my fovorite mini of the special characters. He deserves better as well. While we are at it and new plastic Bjorn would be good. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/208931-second-wave-of-minis/#findComment-2493299 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranwulf Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 MOAR SPACE WOLVES STUUFFFF!!! Now, in all seriousness, I believe SW should get their own Thunderwolves. I love Thunderwolves out there, but I think we need GW ones. Oh, and Logan and Ragnar NEED NEW MODELS. Seriously. NEW. NEW.

The_Betrayed_Spacewolf Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 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.

The_Betrayed_Spacewolf Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 well no where does it say that logan is a giant. hell hes described as cunning and fierce, i tend to think of him as the second type of USMC the scrawny guy who will f you up better than the big hulking guy.

Vash113 Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 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.

Kassill Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Well one opion to another I suppose, but my Logan will be the big burly guy I imagine leading the SW's. :wub: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/208931-second-wave-of-minis/#findComment-2495215 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpsilver Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 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.

Kassill Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Would I be crazy in asking for a plastic kit that included bits to make either an Iron/Wolf/Rune Priest? Kinda like the Chaos Termy box, or the generic marine commander box, or heck, even the new Daemon Prince box? Price it around 20$ or so.
