March SW Releases


Blackcat

Recommended Posts

I was surprised by the base size on the Fenrisian Wolves. Seing them on a 25mm makes me think they might be really tiny compared to goblin wolves (which I have).

 

I geuss I'll have to get a box and see if I can convert my goblin wolves to be the same base size and make it not look rediculous.

 

Those aren't 25mm's. They're 40's.

IMHO, the thing that sealed the release of Thunderwolves as a part of the SW army was the "Thunder From Fenris" audio drama, by Nick Kyme, which I found very entertaining. At the point when the main characters were riding Thunderwolves, it's a bit harder to write them out of the fluff, considering that a main portion of the fluff was written around them... That's just MY 2 creds, but I think it carries some weight. If the main characters were riding about in a Leman Russ Exterminator, it would be harder to write that particular tank out of the SW mythos. The BL fluff tends to live a bit longer than each successive version of the rulebook.

Ah. Thanks for the correction that would make more sense wouldn't it?

Now to buy a bunch of bases...

If that's intended to be Harald Deathwolf, then I am seriously disappointed. The wolf looks great but the overall presence doesn't hold a candle to Canis who is suppose to be a WG under Harald. If its not Harald, then im confused, since each company only gets one Lord, so why would this guy sport the Deathwolf emblem. At most, I would label this guy as a WG BL 2nd in command under Canis

 

 

It's both. You can include the Deathwolf emblem, in which case it's Harold, or you can leave it out, in which case it's a generic Lord on Thunderwolf.

 

I got the White Dwarf early.

Compared to the Fenrisian Wolves, that Cyber Wolf looks horrible.... I'm also a little disappointed with the standard bearer. This is coming from someone who was introduced (by Mav) with the second edition codex, so I was expecting the banner to look something like one of the pictures from days gone by. Anyway, great news for the chapter. Well worth the wait!

Wow, after seeing them in the 360 viewer, I MUST have these TW mount sculpts. Best thing I noticed aside from the detail of the wolves themselves... new weapons! New arms, armaments, torsos. I may have to go eBay diving in a month or so and grab some of these in bits orders. Can't wait to customize!

 

The Fen wolves look better than what I expected, but their poses may need tweaking. They're plastic, so it shouldn't be difficult! The cyberwolf however... I may just make my own.

 

I've completely had my mind changed on the Wolf Lord as well. I'm still not too pleased with the head, but the mane from the side looks decent.. but that cloak! OMG. Shame it's in finecast, but I'll manage.

 

Arjac looks better from a different angle. I guess I'll get used to it. With a little work, his armor/pose may work for another TDA RP. Anything to abolish the 2E version from records.

 

The wolf standard's left arm annoys me.

Looking at the pictures of the sprues for the TWC it looks like there is possibly some mechanical variant legs for the mounts themselves?

 

The wolves kind of remind me of that cat creature from Chronicles of Riddick....Which I actually like the design of.

 

The Lord is cool and all but I don't think its cool enough to justify the price compared to a box of the TWC.

Aye I'm disappointed with the entire Wolf Standard mini, along with the Cyber Wolf. I'm looking forward for some bits from the TWC... did you notice the wolf tooth necklaces? those new shields and weapons are going to be nice!

Anyone notice this on the Wolf Standard page?

 

"One Grey Hunter may carry the Wolf Standard into battle and it is considered a great honour to do so. The mere presence of the Wolf Standard inspires your Grey Hunters to fight harder, and should you find your unit engaged in a pivotal assault, the power of the Wolf Standard may be just the impetus they need to cause serious harm to your foes."

 

One Grey Hunter...yet this doesn't appear to have been ruled from what I remember.

One in each GH pack currently. Unless they are going to drop a new option on us.

Now try to stay calm...

From the GW UK site. I'm guessing you either get two of the sprue with the pads or there's a third which they haven't put on the site. More pics of other minis there too.

OMG

There has to be a third sprue since I don't see any arms on those two.

How'd I miss that lol. Hopefully with more optional weapons, backpacks, etc. There's supposed to be a severed TS helm too.

 

Is it me or do the heads have flat necks too. And I don't mean the TW. One slight fail is passable I suppose.
