Your faithful servant, Brother JonnyWolf Hail wolf brother! First off, thank you for your service; second, there's apparently nothing concrete that I have found, however search fu for Bell of Lost Souls might find you something useful in the rumor mills online, as well as just 6th Space Wolf Codex.

Reede Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 We had a few rumors that looked at June or July earlier in the year / last year, however those rumors have been pretty much debunked by this point with Guard and Orks (and supposedly a 6.5E rules set coming out along-side orks and a new starter set), so the Wolves as far as we have seen have been pushed back a bit towards later in the year or next year. On the bright side, with the release of Horus Heresy book 3 it's looking like HH: Prospero is about to get some love, so we may just be seeing our Wolf King receive his rule set alongside a new codex release.

Rune Priest Jbickb Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Thanks for your service and as to your question the rumors have said this year, but it looks like fall or winter at this point Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288890-new-codex-rumors/#findComment-3639017 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inquisitor Kravin Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 First, as others have said, hope you manage to stay safe over there. Second, GW has really clamped down on rumours these days so I wouldn't rule out it being June/July as they kept Imperial Knights well under wraps. If I had to place money though I'd go for more like October.

Trevak Dal Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I'd guess the biggest thing will be probably losing the 'free' special weapon in Grey Hunter Squads, as I don't think any Space Marine book does that anymore (at least the new ones). Warlord table, probably an AP3 or 2 at initiative Chapter Relic or the like. They'd be doing you fellas dirty if they did you like Chaos (have to roll for your wargear/Sagas) but your loyalists so I wouldn't worry too much. The other "khorne" players around here who don't want daemon engines have been using Space Wolves. I'm...trying to make it work. If you guys get good stuff, expect a horde of Spikey Wolves and such, for those who don't want to drop flags and go Vanilla or 30k.

Rift Blade Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Echo the others. Look after yourself over there. For rumours, I've noticed a trend with some new codexs coinciding with FW stuff so as has been mentioned already, with book 4 next up hopefully dealing with Prospero, maybe we'll see our new Dex to coincide with our ancient enemies the Thousand Sons. August -October looks promising looking back on previous releases & the timing for them. For what we'll get & loose... hate to say it but I can see our banners disappearing, our second free weapons for the GH's as well as our pyschic powers getting nerfed or probably out right changed. On the bright side, the rumours of a new tank make sense if you're familiar with our last codex, grav weapons will keep us in line with our brother marines & personally hoping for Flakk Missiles for our LF's. Hopefully BC's & Iron Priests get tweaked as well as our character costs. I think we might also get access to A flyer, guessing the Storm Raven, again to keep us roughly similar to Marines. Who knows, maybe they'll even do something silly like give our WG or LF access to Centurions! LOL!!! My 2 cents anyways.

d@n Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 The 2 rumours that have been doing the rounds for a year or more, are..... A centre piece relic tank and a wulfen type unit. I would be happy with both those units to be honest, but I'm not looking forward to a new SW codex. Long fangs will get the universal split fire rule and a price hike. Rune priest will loose there runic weapon rule and get generic rule book powers only. Wolf priests will get the same rules as chaplains. Sagas will probably go, replaced with relics for no good reason. Nothing will be be done to make claws worth taking, grey hunters will get a point hike in some form or another at best and at worst, loose there banner to make blood claws seem better. Iron priest will probably be moved to hq inline with other marine codices. What I would do Lone wolves. Get extra wound iwnd and gains an attack for every lost wound. Blood claws need a price drop to around 12 points each and should be able to take 1 melee weapon for every 5 models, the same goes for sky/swift claws and be able to take upto 15 of them. Wolf scouts should be moved to troops and either get space marine bikes or a land speeder storm. Wolf guard any wolf guard should be able to except challenges if he is in the unit with the warlord. Wolf priest, take an upgrade to give a unit fnp. Wolf tooth neckles and wolf tooth talisman should have a 1 use banner, like the the wolf standard and blood claws should get excess aswell. Dread noughts should get a living relic rule. If there destroyed they become an object for SW and any SW unit within 6" are fearless. Long fangs if there going to loose there special split fire rule and get the one from the rule book then they should be able to choose between, split fire, tank hunter, sky fire. Rune priests are going to be hit pretty hard but then they will get a massive points drop. All independent characters need a point drop except maybe logan. We will get an armoury so expect to see thunder wolf cavalry go and wolf guard be able to buy thunder wolfs as an upgrade. I would forgo relics and keep sagas. There essentially the same thing.

Wolf Guard Dan Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 As mentioned previously our codex update is not on the current rumor timeline. These threads always end up as people giving their opinions on stuff. And I will too The only thing I am sure we will lose is points cost on characters and there will be some restructuring of the Rune Priest powers. Hopefully grey hunters will remain largely untouched. Banners and extra special weapons may be changed but I don't think anything so drastic. We get special weapons because other chapters get heavy weapons in their tactical squads. Banners are there to replace chapter tactics. Blood Angels are due before us. Whatever the direction of the development team takes them will clue us into how they will handle our codex.

d@n Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 the space wolves codex is older then the blood angels one. not that that makes a difference. I would of thought we would be seeing a new dex around late summer.

Rune Priest Jbickb Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I wonder if with the IG name change to Astra Militarum if we will be getting codex Vylka Fenryka (I may have miss spelled that) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288890-new-codex-rumors/#findComment-3639862 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valerian Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 the space wolves codex is older then the blood angels one. not that that makes a difference. I would of thought we would be seeing a new dex around late summer. They often do not get released in an order associated with the previous version. Some codex get revised relatively quickly (e.g. Space Marines), while others miss whole editions without an update (e.g. no 4e version of a Space Wolves codex). I wonder if with the IG name change to Astra Militarum if we will be getting codex Vylka Fenryka (I may have miss spelled that) It is a distinct possiblity; however, the Dark Angels 6e codex didn't get a new name. Chances are that codex titles will rest on GW's ability to copyright the term. Imperial Guard is/was too generic to copyright, so the title becomes Astra Militarium, but IG is used throughout the innards of the book, and is described as the informal name of the formation, used by the Soldiers and common man of the Imperium. If GW can get away with copyrighting "Space Wolves" (which I expect they can), then no need to give a new/special name on the book jacket.
