Sanctus reach part 2 leaks

Never thought of that. One would assume where Logan is involved it would most likely be the Champions of Fenris relics but who knows. Still kinda of hoping there will be a Claws of Russ Formation. Knowing my luck, they'll do a bloody data slate instead of real book on Ragnar's Great Company with it in it.

No sagaborn/first among equals is just confusing.

 

Well, remember that the first Sanctus Reach (Stormclaw) didn't have a lot of the stuff that we have in our codex, either.  These new Formations are supporting the Campaign Set, and not necessarily the Champions of Fenris supplement, so they're going to probably all be somewhat simplified versions.

 

That's my guess, anyway.

Personally I'm enthused about the art we saw on the GW blog post about this, there's been some terrific new art recently and some really great space wolf stuff (despite artists being forced to depict grimnar in his wolf sled)

 

I mean, look at these badass wolf guard

I like how these look just like the terminator heads that come in the sw termie box.

The one with Ragnar is just disappointing though :(

Exactly why I'm not getting the book. I'm building a Ragnar company and the only Ragnar formation comes with a minimum of 43 claws of various descriptions and is clearly meant to run on foot. At 10-man minimum for the units that can take pods, Ragnar can't fit into any of the pods, so you would need to put him in a unit that isn't part of the formation, or get a stormwolf for one of the units just so he can deepstrike.

 

Admittedly I was planning on doing one of those things anyway, but I only wanted a third of the number of bloodclaws this formation requires. Maybe if he also passed on his Furious Charge to other units from the formation within 12" I might consider it.

They did something similar in the CoF art. If you look at Daggerfists pic, he is made almost entirely out of available bits. I think that was a pretty interesting plan as it makes it a touch easier to model for those of us lesser skilled conversion it's looking to make a particular guy.

How about the LEGION KHARYBDIS ASSAULT CLAW from Forgeworld? It can take up to 20 Space Wolves. Then you could have Ragnar and some Blood Claws all in one bundle and still use the Claw once you land to wreak havoc.

Just a thought.

No accident at all! For example, the one on the right there is Ingvarr Thunderbrow; you can find him in mini form in the codex, and he's made entirely from the terminator kit.

 

On the original topic, I like the wolf guard strike force, adding hammer of wrath to explosive arrival seems like it should be fun as hell. I wish it was available in half-sized form, though, because that's a lot of points to stick in reserve.

It's a bit of a shame the strike force doesn't get the WS5! Is it supposed to be specific to Logan's company? (fluff-wise) It say's its a favourite of Logan's, but doesn't outright state it's a Champions only formation. (rules wise) there's nothing to tie it to the COF supplement. None of the three special rules (sagaborn, first among equals, kingsguard) are given to it, and nothing we have seen (yet) suggests a player can choose to field it using the CoF traits/relics. Which kinda irks me a lot. I really hope GW issues errata to improve the interface between the formation and supplement.

 

If an amendment/clarification/errata made to Ragnar's Claws allowed the compulsory charge to override 'cannot charge turn 1/when arriving from reserves' it would be really good and what's more- really appropriate for Ragnar. It'd even have a modicum of balance, due to the 6" rule as it would be possible to fall outside charge range (actually with the circumference of the pod and the 6" disembark it would be pretty easy to get them within 6" if you aim the pod right next to the target you want to charge, but perhaps a 10+ inch scatter, or complications due to terrain making placement difficult, would add some risk to using this method).

 

Might fire off a suggestion to GW about it.. try my luck.
