DarkMark Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 The 29€ price tag has me questioning the source; far too cheap for a new 5-model box.

Nova_chron Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I have trouble buying that price as well and I would be very upset to see those kits come out just as a wolf sprue with the assault packs or heavy weapons added Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/295039-sancus-reach-part-2-and-space-wolf-extras/#findComment-3774836 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wookieman Posted August 12, 2014 Author Share Posted August 12, 2014 Its been done before back when the 3rd edition codex was released, and there is a picture of the SM commander "wolfed" up in the new codex.

Rift Blade Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Gotta go with Wookieman here. I bought some my Space Wolves in 3rd when all they did was take a Tac marine bx & add a SW acc. sprue. I think the idea is very possible though the exact details are probably off. However, very curious as to the contents of Sanctus Reach: Hour of the Wolf is actually going to contain. Will be just fluff & some new missions or are we going to see some new rules?????? THe SW part of this campaign has Ol Fierce Eye(came in Storm Claw bx with his own formations), Logan Grimnar(new supplement-Champions of Fenris with new detachment, formations as well as relics) and the Young King AKA Ragnar Blackmane(?????????). Guess I'll keep an eye on the GW sight & see if Ragnar suddenly becomes unavailable. I don't think we'll see new models but a new detachment and/or formation is possible. Who knows, maybe even a new relic or two.

Squark Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I doubt we'll see new models or new relics (Guard didn't get them last time), but it is likely we'll see some formations including elements of Ragnar's company. I guess it isn't totally outside of probability we could see something in a concurrent White Dwarf, though. Gerantius got a dataslate in there after all.

Nova_chron Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I would have loved to have Ragnar redone but I have recently secured from a friend a custom sculpt for him... so I am no longer concerned about a re-sculpt. however I would love to see some kind of formation that buffs drop pod assault armies like allowing them to run the shoot in the first turn they come on, I feel like this would be cool and not over powered but would make the alpha strike a bit stronger.

Rift Blade Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I'm waiting for GW to break their own rule like they always do. You know, each edition of the rules there is something they changed from last edition & for first little while it stays that way then boom. They slip something through. This edition is assault off the deep strike/arriving from reserves. Just waiting.....and hoping......

Nova_chron Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I feel like granting assault after deep strike would be hard to balance out correctly due to the way the meta works but it would be awesome. That is partly why I tossed my idea of a one turn battle focus for the first wave of pods coming down to represent securing the drop zone. I will see if my usual opponent is willing to let me try it out and report back with thoughts and findings...

Valerian Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I'd love to see a new Formation for Ragnar's company; of course, it'd need to revolve around his use of the Claws of Russ drop pod assault. I've got 5 pods ready to torpedo planet side, so bring it on. Frankly, I was underwhelmed by SWU, but at least a couple Formations from the Supplement look promising.

skeletoro Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 What kind of buff would be appropriate for a pod formation? Assuming it wasn't just ObSec+. Relentless the turn they arrive? Would be nice for deploying long fangs. Assault the turn they arrive? Fluffy, but I don't think GW will do this. No way. Battle focus the turn they arrive? Much more useful for teleporters than pods. But good nonetheless. It's difficult because I imagine Ragnar's company doing a lot of assaults out of pods but it's hard to see how that is going to happen, if 'no assaults when arriving from reserves' is a sacred cow for GW. Maybe grant rules similar to the current Lucius pod (the shrouding part) might help... dunno?

Rune Priest Jbickb Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 How about shoot or assault. That seems less op to me because you will still get overwatch fired on you and you have to assault a full strength squad without a chance to thin the numbers a bit. Granted it may be itronger than I think, but it it would be less brutal than landing shooting then assault Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/295039-sancus-reach-part-2-and-space-wolf-extras/#findComment-3775368 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rift Blade Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 That's not a bad idea jbickb. I'm really hoping for some sort of formation based on the Claws of Russ but that's only 'cause Rags is one of my fav Wolf Lords & I've got 5 pods. I'm even trying to figure a way to do decent looking Death Storm Drop pods for cheap but 10(I want to do 2 pods)big ass missile launchers that look identical & good(sometimes I'm to picky for my own good--LOL) is not easy or cheap.

mactire Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Hmmm, would have preferred Chris Wraight. Looks like this campaign could run for a while with the arrival of deamons bringing in the GK's. Hope that they will release some character models for the different factions in clampacks on their own as having to buy a Stormclaw type box each time, while great value would be quite costly and could result in my wife getting very cross with me.

skeletoro Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Still wanna see the exact sprue breakdown for this. Also, hoping on the off chance we see a new wolf lord model (rather than the commander it seems to be) in the strike force. It is looking unlikely, though. And it's a pretty eclectic box by the looks of things (1 wolf pack lacks a transport? 5 skyclaws seems a tad unwise unless perhaps you were going for a 95pt dual burner BBQ strike, but does the box have any flamers?) so I guess it's not the best place for a new wolf lord plastic. If it's really as rumoured, I'm hoping we will see a Blackmane pod strike force box with a ragnar/wolf lord plastic and 3 podded units alongside a dataslate within the next few months... something similar to strike force ultra (how it was released quite a while after the codex). There's also Christmas and bundles etc. Last year we saw bundles for SM and Eldar. Given that SW will still be relatively new (though likely there will be at least a couple newer codices by then) we can hope that if they repeat the pattern from last year, there will be a discount box set with dataslate for wolves. Likely revolving around new models - dreads or fliers seems likely.

skeletoro Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Reckless ferocity is lame, but zealot is really good. I could imagine possibly using it if it had ObjSec for the blood claws (or something comparably good). But trading ObjSec for that? No thanks. Another dumb thing: it looks like the rerolled charge ranges doesn't apply when the enemy models are greater than 6" away? I mean, blood claws only have a 1/6 chance of failing a 5" charge normally. If it allowed them to reroll charge ranges all the time, that would be a nice little perk that might arguably more than make up for reckless ferocity.

skeletoro Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Hmm, the Logan ones look decent. Though it irks me that they lack Sagaborn/first among equals, and only one of them has Kingsguard. The storm wolf one has some nice rules though. HoW and twin-linked shooting when disembarking? Note: assault ramp and relentless, too. Meaning twin-linked, rapid-firing plasma guns followed by an assault. Just a big shame they lack the +1WS.
