Xwingt65 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 I agree, Skeletoro. I think a Flyer is a shoe-in. I'd love to see a power armor Wolf Guard kit similar to the Sternguard kit (that thing is awesome!!) and most likely a Rune Priest Clam Pack. Only a guess here, and maybe a little bit of wishful thinking!! End of Line You have a wolfguard kit. Its the space wolf pack box. My guess is on a short release, 2 weeks. Week 1: Plastik Runepriest, Wolfpriest. Some wolfy kit, either a flyer or a horrid big kit. Week 2: codex, new plastik devastator squad, strikeforce box.

Baulder Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Hmm, seems implausible he'd be initiative 4. How sure are you? not sure at all, but looking at the zoomed image the shape shape of the number seems consistent with the str and toughness.

Plus of course, the SMs had Sternguard models before the current plastic kit. Just because you can make Wolf Guard with the pack box doesn't mean GW won't relaunch a dedicated PA Wolf Guard box. That way they can sell 5 models for £30 instead of 10 for £23 . (Note I don't believe this is likely, only that trying to argue against a PA WG kit using the Sternguard box for precedent doesn't really work) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293384-space-wolves-ork-starter-box/page/10/#findComment-3744114 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rune_Priest_Rhapsody Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 LOL@ Dantay!! @Leif: I sadly agree with you, but that's always the way it goes when speculating about upcoming releases. You don't really ever know until you see the actual thing. @Nrth: God I hope you're wrong... My thought (again with my wishful thinking...) is that GW is holding rumors close to them until after Stormclaw hits!! *crosses his fingers* End of Line Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293384-space-wolves-ork-starter-box/page/10/#findComment-3744124 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would be smart for GW to put out an amazing elite box at this point, because it would be full of goodies that old timers like us would want and be happy to have, even if we are paying a bit for it. I know I would to deck out some of my models at this point, and make them look a cut above my legion of wolves.

Dantay VI Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Amen... I have a ton of grey hunters and blood claws, not to mention wolf guard terminators. I have very specific ideas in mind for where I next want to take my army (or armies) of Wolves. If they did a vanguard and a sternguard style box for Wolf Guard, well then I would have to find new and ever more creative ways, to keep topping up my super secret space wolf slush fund that the wife has no knowledge of...... (30 sky claws and 30 jump pack wolf guard spring to mind for instance!!)

skeletoro Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Anyone notice he's wearing mark 6-ish armour and that his right leg has a winged wolf head that is very similar to one of the old Mk v imetal space wolf grey hunters?

skeletoro Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Dark angels: black knights, fliers Chaos: turkey Vanilla: centurions, anti air tanks Ig: new tanks Eldar: wraithblades, fliers Orks: morkypork As far as I can recall every major codex release in recent memory has had several new models. But they've also had something else: new models for new UNITS as demonstrated in the list above.. I'm expecting to see one or more new additions to the codex that will receive models. Whether it's a failed wolf aspirant in a gimp mask, a flier, or some elite wolf guard unit (though we kinda already have that with TWC), I think there'll be something very new. Not just new models for old units. How about a cyber-MC with IRON PRIEST handlers? That would make that weird rumour of a MC with handlers a tad more believable. Iron priests could do with some love.

Wraithwing Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Well, this box set has sucked me back into the warp, er... I mean 40K. Going to sell off the Orks or trade them for more Grey Hunters, and then start a small force. It's been a long while since I've done Wolves, so looking forward to it.

Squark Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 The only units we have that need new models are the priests. Sure, missile launchers, combi-weapons, and terminator power weapons are scarce, but they exist, and that seems to be all GW cares to provide. I think we're looking at two new kits- one for a flier (well, they could give us the pidgeon and/or the potato), and one new vehicle or other large model (which will likely have two variants). This is pretty much in line with other releases- DA got unique land speeders and fliers*, CSM got the fiends and I the turkey, Tau and eldar both got a monster and a flier kit, Codex marines got Centurions and the stalker/hunter, guard got the taurox and wyvern chassis, and works got the gorkanaught and gretchin artillery. * Yes, they also got knights, but those were just variants packaged into kit updates, which we don't need.

logun Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 i'm also a little worried we haven't seen any codex rumours other than its coming at the end of the month. usually there would be some kind of whispers this close to a supposed release date. just hoping GW have gone all ninja sneaky with this one.

skeletoro Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I bought it in the hopes of reduced blurriness, but my hopes were dashed. Then again, it was NZD5, so not a big deal.

Squark Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Well, if you have a knight, the Gerantius dataslate isn't bad from what I've heard, and probably won't end up being reprinted anytime soon, so there's that, especially if you want to fluff your wolves as part of the Sanctus Reach campaign (Since both Krom and Logan's companies are there, possibly with more of the chapter in tow).

It has some interesting articles on the modelling of the 2 new characters, and some other random stuff. Some tips on painting Space Wolves and Orcs. It cost 4 dollars.
