vanguardwolf Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 i was in my local gw store drooling in the stormtalon. and i told my disgrudge against only C:SM getting in to the lacal manager. he told me not to worry and that here are things coming up. i trust him on this becouse he was wright with the fenrisan wolves 3 weeks for the fist pictures. he told me not to worry about it and that there would becoming soon. so what would GW be up to for the wolves? a large flying transport i doubt that. a gun ship? why? the stomtalon has that coverd. a new tank or an other fast vehicle. bigger droppod variant? what do you think, what are you hoping for?

shortysl Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 If the rumours about the new rules for fliers in 6th edition are to be believed then it's fair to assume that you will be getting some form of flying vehicle, even if it's only giving you access to the Stormraven. Could be anything to be fair though.

Mimir Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 I would like to get some kind of flying transport. There was something about Space Wolves Stormcrow in BL books...

Kassill Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 We may instead be getting a counter to fliers rather than fly ourselves.

Thargrim_Bloodwolf Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 To be honest you won't really be missing out with the stormtalon it looks as aerodynamic as a brick and it's nothing really special. As far as new SW units coming out, I doubt it will be a flyer because, let's face it, walking was good enough for Russ so it's good enough for his sons right :D Therefore I think it'll probably be some sort of tank addition like the return of the Leman Russ exterminators.

CainTheHunter Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 My bet is on flying sledge pulled by huge flying winged wolves (another new specie, previously unknown to Imperial Scholars, believed to be one of the thunderwolves subspecies).

Growler67 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 (If I still played) Access to Landspeeder Storms would just make sense for Wolf Scouts and OBEL. Perhaps a special (faster) transport that can keep up with Fenresian Wolves to better flank an opponent with. Maybe wheeled instead of tracked and trading armor for speed (there will always be trade-offs) or possibly armor panels (like shields on a dragonship) with outrigger decking behind to reduce vehicle bulk (lower AR) and possibly open top for "Fenresian Disembarking" to more quickly engage and overwelm the enemy (special rule) - can disembark and move/attack at 1/2 normal distance or something like that. I could see this applied to White Scars too as they are a "fast moving/flanking style" Chapter. Many of the decisions by GW in recent years have just taken a LOT of the uniqueness of a LOT of the Chapters and favored the UltraSmurfs in the process. Venerable used to mean something special to the Space Wolves for example.....no longer. As for the "flying bricks" comment, seriously, the Storm Raven is a smaller version of the Thunderhawk flying brick, but it doesn't matter much with the engine technology in the 41st M. Just thoughts..... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/253563-no-stormtalon-for-us-but-what-will-we-get/#findComment-3076830 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ragnarok Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 walking was good enough for Russ so it's good enough for his sons right :( God I hate that fluff from the 3rd ed. dex which they pulled from the nethers.

Don't assume SW players really believe or care about the proposed fear of flying. ;) it's obvious lord rags has his personal pilot instead of having to fly in a thunderhawk piloted by jester!i'm pretty sure HE is the sole reason we don't like flying! ;) as for the flyers, some AA seems logical since they are otherwise the unchallenged masters of the sky. i seriously doubt anyhting coming from a GW manager though Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/253563-no-stormtalon-for-us-but-what-will-we-get/#findComment-3076857 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be a little bit cautious posting stuff like this around the net as GW are notoriously trigger happy in firing employee's who leak release information early. I have heard that somebody in a GW store lost his job by leaking info about the new paint range mere days before it was officially released...

MeatGrinder Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Its going to be something silly like Thunderwolves with jetpacks. Whenever they add something new to the codex its seems to have to include a giant wolf somewhere.

JeffJedi Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Crazy idea, but what about a Viking Longship? Sort of like a stretched Landspeeder Storm, long enough for ten or twelve power armored Marines with extra engines.

Akela Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I have to say, someone's suggestion that we might get the ol' Exterminator back for AA had me unreasonably excited....even though you'd almost need to be on a ramp to get those guns to elevate properly. I still say we ought to have access to all Leman Russ variants: if we're to be w/o a flyer, then let us cruise in the hulks named for our primarch!

Ikken Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I could care less about the flier , but what i would like is if they gave long fangs +1 to hit or +1 on the damage chart against fliers . if 6th is really going to be more infantry focused than 5th , it would tie in very well .
