Grizzly Adams Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 that would be Best. Day. Ever. I can't stand any of the non GW wolves, and none of em match my Canis model... effin GW. How dumb do you have to be to not release a model that you would make a killin off of?

Wulfebane Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 that would be Best. Day. Ever. I can't stand any of the non GW wolves, and none of em match my Canis model... effin GW. How dumb do you have to be to not release a model that you would make a killin off of? This. The rumor's been roaming around since late winter that TW models and/or Fen. wolves would be released at the end of this year. I still manage to have high hopes, but I'm worried that the rumors were misconstruing things, what with the upcoming release of all the beasts the fantasy Ogres Kingdom is getting this season. Among them are ogre-mounted rhinox models which have been suggested often by people to substitute for TW models (when the current rhinox model is only available from ForgeWorld). My hope is that what with the rush of Storm of Magic beasts (manticores, dragons, etc) and the soon-to-come ogre line, that it will put a spur to the sides of the sculptors to pump out long-overdue beasts for current armies.

Durfast Spiritwolf Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Even had Phil Kelly telling me 'they're on the way - be patient' and that was over a year ago (sigh)...

MalachiOfRuss Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 The rumour I heard was that FW wanted to do TWC models but GW said "no" because they were going to release them. At the time, the rumour gave a timeline of "end of September." I think they made the Canis character and model as a "test the waters" piece to see the potential demand as well as see the response to the sculpt. From what I read, response hasn't been good on the Canis model so it was no surprise to me that GW "pulled back" and took their time releasing TWC models which were probably planned to be in plastic kits. I think they want to get it "right." Here's hoping they look good when they're done - that could spur a resurgence in their popularity.

Grimtooth Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 If GW gives me a model with as much thought and imagination as they did with the new Ogre mounts, my Mythicast wolves are gone. If the recycle the Fangir concept, Mythicast will get another order from me for not other reason then to send my receipt to GW to show my opinion.

Blacksad Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 in that case, you can send the models themselves my way. :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/236797-thunderwolves/#findComment-2855782 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schertenleib Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I just can't being myself to buy the Canis model. $50 for one figure that isn't even a well received sculpt? I'll wait thanks. If they make me wait too much longer though I will order from Mythicast.

Bulldogging Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Makes you wonder how much they lost by not making TW minis, someone screwed up big time. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/236797-thunderwolves/#findComment-2856244 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalachiOfRuss Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Makes you wonder how much they lost by not making TW minis, someone screwed up big time. I think the delay was intentional. I think they put out the Canis special character to "test out" how well received the sculpt would be. I don't think it was received well, so maybe they "pulled back" on doing TWC models in plastic and looked at re-doing the sculpt to be something people would be more satisfied with.

Brother Karr Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Honestly I would prefer them not to have any kind of terrain wolf features. I want them to have several rows of rotating teeth like a shark. Look vicious and as big as a rhino. I own a Canis sculpt and its ugly. Especially the chest area that is under the body... a Big 'V" divit that took a lot of green stuff to fill in and I still could not get it to match the Silly GW triangle fur sculpts. I want them in plastic so I can rebuild canis and actually build Harold Deathwolf as a character and be legitimate if I go to a tournament with out having to get it OK'ed by a the judges.

I agree with you overall, I've even debated that against people that think they should look like Terran wolves. Nowhere in their description do they sound like that, and it even goes on to explain their anatomy in the codex. They should be monstrous beasts, not a big Malamute or Husky..lol.

Simo429 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I was told by one of the warhammer world employees when my club had arguments over using non GW models for models that GW don't make that there should be them out in 6 months which would have put them out in about September.

Nrthstar Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 The good: Yat tournament sanctioned wolves. The bad: if they are hideous or even just disappointing, we won't want to use them, tourney safe or not. The ugly: all of us who have spent money on 3rd parties are now screwed. I actually love my Mr. Dandy wolves and I'm gong to order two more next month. The uggliest thing though is what of the people like our newest whelp who has crafted their own wolves out of pure greenstuff? This is all too little too late from gw. That said I'm sure the non gw ran tourneys will still allow the old wolves, at least I pray they do since I'm going to be getting around to tourneys this year.

Grimtooth Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 My main LFGS will honor them in their GT and whatever tournaments. I have no problem believing that as soon as Battlefoam starts throwing any big tournaments in their new gaming saloon, that they won't have a problem either.

JoeVmt Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 True. I heard a lot of rumors of FW or GW making them but nothing so far. I am not expecting anything either because it seems GW are more focused on pumping out other armies like sister of battles and necrons for their upcoming releases. If you really want them, I suggest kit bashing from GW's bloodcrushers or getting alternative models from other producers. Personally though, I don't want to fork out 40 EURO per model. So, I made my own :P This is what I used as a starting point : Thunderwolf Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/236797-thunderwolves/#findComment-2858091 Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartanhwt88 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 MAny posts ago someone mentioned that FW wanted to do them and GW said no, they were right. As for the release date, the original rumor was that they were supposed to be out last year but they sculptors were not too happy with the way they came out so they scrapped them. and decided to redo them. From what I heard the first try looked like the Canis models. I am rather sad that FW is not doing them. I think that they would be really Bad A. On the upside FW is doing Brad Redmaw for the Imperial Armour 11. *******SPOILER WARNINGS******* As for the multiple rows of teeth and all of the other weird mutations they would have if you looking in the codex all of the pictures they look like giant Wolves with lots of bionics. Personally I really like the Canis model, I think that it is very accurate to what many of the Thunder Wolf pictures look like. Now I realize that I am not nearly as high ranking a member as many of the others that posted, but I question is what to Werewolves look like when they fully turn? Because the way it is implied in "Prospero Burns" is that there are no Thunderwolves on Fenris, they are all Space Wolves that have fully turned.
