Long fangs out of stock on UK website

The new Space Wolves Venerable Dreadnought is out of stock, and now, it would seem, Long Fangs are slowly joining them.

 

While our Codex undoubtedly nears, if the signs and portents thus far are any indication, we will at least see new rules for the LF and SWVD boxes, if not new weapons too.

 

I personally think that the SW's in 8th Ed. will prove to be an amazing Codex, once the new unit options are figured out as to how to get them to work together. As I posted in another thread, Intercessors as a fire support and suppression squad, if one has two groups of three packs, each group comprising one or two GH packs, zero or one BC packs, and one Intercessor pack as a core force section, at least in each Battalion, if done right, the unit synergy becomes, at least in theory, mindbogglingly capable in terms of potential.

As Jarl Coldheart said it's probably reboxing. 99% this is the case. My local store isn't a GW store, and they are totally out of SW stuff except Fenrisian Wolves. I asked when they are getting shipment and the owner didn't know. He has a order in but know idea if it has even shipped. He doesn't know why the hold up and he admits GW won't tell him anything.

 

That 1% only comes from rumors and a hope that SW are the test bed for either unique Primaris or bigger Marines (DG/1k Sons) sized. We are the least codex compliant and SW are a rather sizeable community so it does have some credit but very little.

 

In the mean time I guess we will have to wait and see. Or we can kidnap Duncan and get some info.

Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. The worst being just reboxing of existing sprues and no "new" sprues so to speak.

 

As for the best hope.... HAND CARRIED HELLFROST CANNONS! LOL, sorry for the caps, but I think most of us have long wished for the Long Fangs to carry a portable version of the hellfrost cannon every since it was created in 6th edition for Dreadnoughts, Stormwolf and Stormfang.

 

Still unlikely since I believe GW in the long term wishes us to switch to Primaris and then slowly phase out the old school marines (They can try, but for me, the Grey Hunters will be in my army forever. Unless the Primaris Space Wolves somehow grow enough sense to deviate from the Codex, both old and new)

Only if hellfrost becomes more than expensive melta...

Helfrost is already better than melta by virtue of an alternate fire mode. Granted, I do hope the rule gets a bit more viable, or just remove it entirely and lower the cost.

 

*shrugs meh-ily

 

With all this crazy crap everyone is getting i'd like hellfrost to reduce enemy movement or something.

on the U.S. site, Fenrisian Wolves are no longer available, Long Fangs are gone entirely from the site

I bought one pack of them, never did like the models.

 

We should keep track of everything that's disappearing. Maybe its a sign of things to come.

 

 

Or it's production issues

Most of the time it is false flag and simply repackaging as frequently reminded by Jarl Coldheart and Calderson. But it isn't impossible. 

 

And yes, melta has lost quite a bit of its old flair, and the multi melta is hilariously too expensive. The multi-melta price of 27 should be about right for a portable hellfrost cannon though due to the alternate mode at the cost of shorter range. 

 

Still don't know what to make out of all this May rumours though. Better not hope too much for that.

*Insert obligated reboxing comment here.*

 

That said, we have rumors that this will be the biggest shift for SW and the author said it would be the most narrative driven SW codex ever. If we look at BA and DA they had huge narratives but no real changes (Baal half eaten and Luther escaping) to their codex. They got Primaris but nothing special or unique, so the SW codex may have major changes if the author isnt tugging our leg.

Just hope the primaris integration will be handled better than simply "welcomed into the Fang after proving themselves in combat". 

While I always hope for the best. I think the worst with Gw pushing primaris and trying to streamline stuff I see our skyclaws and long fangs now becoming the normal marine units. I see them trying to justify this with the primaris upgrade boxes for hellblasters.

I actually see a few things.

 

40k wolves want approval from the 13th co.

 

Primaris wanting approval from both. Thus primaris being heavily infused with legion and 40k era tactics and mentalities

 

 

And a legion force coming to terms with what the galaxy and imperium now is.

 

 

Would be a bit funny if the 13th co make the iron priests actually learn what they are doing and not just ritualize it.

It isn't just Iron Priests though, ALL engineers worth the name ritualize technology, from the lowliest tech priest all the way to Belisarius Cawl himself.

 

But yeah, hopefully the transition of the Primaris, the 13th Co and the existing Space Wolves will be done in a dramatic but tasteful manner. Along with the return of the Leman Russ IF it happens. Thus the Space Wolves return partially to their Legion roots without sacrificing their primarch's efforts to change them from distasteful killers, to heroic (using terms loosely) defenders of the Imperium.

 

One thing that gives me hope, the Drukhari book has so many sub factions, maybe different "chapter tactics" for just the Space Wolves in one codex can be justified after all. So hopefully we'll see more of the Great Companies, from those lead by the bombastic Bjorn Stormwolf, to the grim Brand Redmaw. And of course everyone's crazy favorite Company, the Blackmane poster boys.
