*Wolves early / middle 2014, Inquisition fall / end 2014, Blood Angels fall / end 2015.*Not many releases for Wolves, just specific flyer variants.*Finecast big predator wolf.*Wulven units included.*They also get almost all Marine releases till then, apart of flyers.*Inquisition all three ordos, two different armies (grey knights and sororitas). Inquisitors can replace IG HQs.*Blood Angels on early re-design. 

So, according to the rumor here we'll get a new codex sometimes next year. Other than flyers I don't think we need a new codex. What are all of your thoughts on the subject?

When I first read the above I thought the flyer was a big predator wolf. I almost rejected my breakfast. But it looks like he is saying some flyer variants for us (needed!) and a large predator wolf model (cool!). If not, and we are getting a large flying wolf as a flyer I will resume operation breakfast rejection.

I think we desperately need a new codex. We are spent as a competitive force I'm afraid sad.png

Really? The only problem I can wolves having is with fliers, but everyone bar tau has that.

And a new codex may not help us competitively, just look at the still born Chaos Marine codex.....

Maybe it's me but I've found I've gone from winning games regularly to drawing/losing a lot more. I really struggle with getting the best out of Grey Hunters to the degree where if I was going to carry on using wolves I would just take units of 5 in razorbacks. unsure.png

How cool would it be if the codex cover was the Battle of the Fang cover? Bjorn himself! Blood of Asaheim cover would be nice, but the guy is sporting a Deathwatch shoulder pad. For now the rumour seems like a wishlist... I'd rather wait until we are feed more. For now we rally the packs and kick butt in what new armies they throw at us! The key to victory against new codex/armies is strategy and knowing your wolf army.

To be honest, the reason I had focused on my other armies had nothing to do with competitiveness /lack of, though I admit the main reason I'mcoming back is I don't have to tailor my list and buy the £40+ new kits to not get kurbstomped.

And there is nothing like long fangs laying down withering fire with plasma and las cannon :P

i have to disagree there have been several tournament wins by Space wolf lists including some Major tournaments

UK or US?

And could you point me in the direction of the lists so we don't derail this thread?

And to everyone else, everyone plays for different reasons. I've played the army for 12 years and love the models, background and imagery. I own every GW book which even fleetingly features wolves. But I also like to be able to compete at tournaments. That doesn't make me wrong and you right.

Off top of head Nova In US

 

Why us or uk neither are the have most competitive scenes

 

That is p robably Poland or Germany

 

It's c certainly not like 4th ed where if a wolf lord got in top half of a tourney you bought him case of ale at his incredible aciwvement

While we are not in any way in dire need of a Codex there are a few things that would be nice to have updated(IMHO):

 

1: Our named HQ's are too expensive - they are cool, but it's way more effective to just take Rune Priests
2: No way to deal with fliers outside allies / ADL
3: Bloodclaws are a little "meh"

Other nice things would be:
A look at our Scouts
Useful Dreadnoughts
Leman Russ tanks ^^

Some way to have AP2 at initiative (Frost Weapons)
Make Saga's and or "Runes" play (more) an active role in our army
A cool warlord traits table
