Bikeninja Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Hey guys, Just wanted to share some of the info from Games Day I have been reading involving the Sons of Russ. Seems IA 11 is going to feature one of the Great Companies and we will be getting a Wolf Lord model and some conversion bits. Also, no confirmation on who is doing ThunderWolves. THis info comes from Fraggle on Warseer who was in the FW seminar. Apparently they do not know if GW or FW is going to do them but one IS going to do them at some point. Enjoy guys, raise an Ale and lets go spank some Dark Eldar. They need to be put in there place.

BloodGeld Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 What say you brothers, whose Great Company do you think it shall be? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/212001-space-wolves-games-day-uk/#findComment-2522095 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan230 Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 I dont know how they do time lines in the IA books, but if I had to guess they would kill, and then replace a Wolf Lord. Thats my bet. Otherwise, my bet is on either the Fire Wolves Lord or Iron Wolves. I dont have my codex near by so I cant put down names ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/212001-space-wolves-games-day-uk/#findComment-2522101 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopToffee Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Wow that's a bit depressing... That means Thunderwolves are at LEAST a year away - because the sculpting won't have even BEGUN yet...

Prot Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Yea that is depressing. I don't understand how they miss the boat so horridly on these decisions.... I mean who is the superstar who decided they would take the time to sculpt.... 'Lukas the Trickster' and not Thunderwolves? I imagine it's the same guy who decided Pyrovores should be done instead of the Doom o'Malatai. It's completely and utterly stupefying to me when I think of those decisions... I can't find any reason for them. Maybe GW should look on Ebay at the number of TW sculpts on ebay from different sellers, or Nid Drop Pods. If the market is strong enough to support fringe sculpting companies for certain units, then maybe they should re-asses their criteria for scuplting certain units. Hopefully the forgeworld guys look at this. I'd rather see Forgeworld scuplt a unit we KNOW will sell, and be USEFUL rather than see them sculpt something pretty, and with no use on the table top. (IE. Look at the new eldar units coming out for example.)

Aeddon Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Better than nothing at all I suppose. I really like that FW is using the Space Wolves and we'll end up with some good looking models. That being said I really hope that GW does the thunderwolf models. I'm sure that FW would do a great job but we'd get more variety and possibilities out of GW than FW. Just my opinions mind you.

wolfpack Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 I agree with Aeddon...GW would give us a better variety and the cost would be more conducive to fielding a full squad or perhaps more than one unit...where as FW would end up costing an arm and a leg as has been the case in the past...

Max_Dammit Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 they can keep there TWM models, they missed there boat a long time ago, there are at least 4 different options that are above GW I like my wolves wolf like and not squirrel like <_< Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/212001-space-wolves-games-day-uk/#findComment-2523198 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who wouldn't love a squad of ThunderSquirrels in their army? Talk about vicious! And the ability to run straight up a tree!!! Seriously, I have the Filipino models, but they arrived all busted, and I don't have it in me right now to green stuff it all back together right now.... It would be nice to see what FW -could- do. I mean I could always use more. :huh: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/212001-space-wolves-games-day-uk/#findComment-2523280 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max_Dammit Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 didnt you complain about the damaged wolves? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/212001-space-wolves-games-day-uk/#findComment-2523332 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prot Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 didnt you complain about the damaged wolves? No unfortunately I made a big mistake... I received the box, then just opened it enough to see what it was. I put them aside because I didn't want to lose, or mix up the parts as I was working on my Grey Hunters at the time. Fast forward another month or two, I open the box and it is busted up pretty bad. This was back when the original company was dealing with a guy based in the Philippines and since then I see they dropped their association with him. So I figure I kind of screwed myself by not acting in time. Plus the ebay guy was impossible to communicate with (I messaged him several times, waiting months to receive my package... I guess this is why the company that makes the wolves doesn't deal with him anymore.) Still to this day they are my favorite variant of the TWC, but I don't have it in me to put them all back together again.... Maybe in the near future. Truthfully I am having so many problems painting my Wolves (so slow with all those bits) that I would welcome a one or two piece TWC model from Forgeworld at this point, regardless of their pricing.
