Well the fluff adds up, so far we are the best hunters ever, better than all the other astartes tech. So maybe:

 

Better reserves? Sub 9"

Deny other reserve? more than 9"

Expanded outflank? (the most boring option sicne we have it)

Maybe character targeting shenanigans?

Scout buffs? (almost certainly)

maybe acute senses allows us to immediately charge units placed on the board after turn 1?

Maybe yea! I hope for some shake up rules. Something that disrupts certain game plans.

Does anyone know if the new SW Codex will feature some of the new Primaris successor chapters created during the Ultima Founding, such as the Wolfspear? 

 

We can only hope atm :)

I really really hope it talks about our successors, and has rules for them.

Hmmm ... Sounds like we get a codex and then the rest of what should be in the codex spread over some campaign books. So buy 3 or 4 books for what should be in one?

 

Please tell me I'm wrong!!!

 

Dude, it's not 7th edition anymore, not only rules now are NOT limited to campaign books anymore (see Armigers, were in Codex too, with better rules to boot), but you can find datasheets in unit boxes too so the need for new books is lower than ever...

Gaaaaah! I wanted something more, just a taste. Just a taste.

 

You see what you've reduced me to GW. Are you happy now?

I feel all of wolves are now in the pavloving response stage

 

 

also

ToothClawLore-Aug13-Page10Artwork-6ma.jp

 

primaris bloodclaws.

 

looks like bolt carbines and chainswords?

 

 

Two interesting snippets.

 

From the article:

Orks "seeking entertainment elsewhere by engaging in violent races across the sweeping open plains"

 

Gorkamorka?

 

And from the video:

"Beset by not only Genestealer Cults, but also Orks, and various cults have risen up in the darkness."

 

Chaos cults? Imperial cults?

good pick up

 

 

Those are grey hunter markings though right?

 

Primaris blood claws would be awesome though. 

 

Yes. BC's are yellow and red.

But I still have a LEAD mountain to paint through before the wife will let me have any more models. ;)

 

I want a single book as that's about all I can get under the radar. :p

doesn't look like the space wolf primaris upgrade sprue isn't this weekend.

 

so wolves might be getting another wave of releases?

That is expected. What isn't going to be release for a while is the WGBL I think. I am still thinking about getting the collector's editions, specially if it comes with the dice (which I do like) and the data cards in some sort of combo.

Im think about grabbing everything, as I only own a 5*? primaris marines that i've converted into bloodclaws.

 

and I'll sell all the genestealer stuff

That seems like a decent deal. I do not know if the B&T is for me, since I don't know if the Agressors are a unit I would spend the points on, the Intercessors I already have 10, and for a WGBL I always go for Jump Pack for mobility.

wait wait wait... new artwork featuring regular Marines and not only Primaris? Oh the implications... That's it boys, Space Marines are here to stay!

It's not the first time. There was a Crimson Fist last stand-esque that featured both, and some BA artwork.

I think we'll see improvements to units like Wolf Scouts (if they'd give us specialist ammo for them and rejigger the point cost, they'd be just what they need to be), and some sort of improved differentiation between Hunters and Claws. 

 

Points shifts. Thunder Wolf Cavalry get a patch. Hunter/Stalker/Talon/Hawk access, maybe LSS. I live in hope that Wolf Tartaros and Cataphractii units will retain access to combi-weapons, but it's not likely. I highly doubt we'll get the Storm Raven, so our dreads are still walking or podding. 

 

All that is pretty much what I expect, plus the Stratagems, Chapter Tactic, Relics, etc. 

 

What I'd like to see?

 

Plastic Ragnar. I mean, c'mon. 

 

Plastic Rune Priest and Wolf Priest. 

 

Ranged helfrost weapon options for GH, BC, LF, maybe scouts. Carbines, Cannons, maybe pistols. 

 

Plastic cyber wolves kit. 

 

Something to bring TWC into usefulness again, yet make them different from Wulfen. I think the trick is a greater movement stat and a small points drop. 

 

I'd love to see Wolf Priests able to bring back models, but I think folks are too scared of revenant Wulfen/Lone Wolves for that to happen. 

 

 

I do think this Vigilus War Zone thing has legs. We heard so many rumors of a box including Orks and Black Legion. I'm wondering if there aren't three boxes out there, and things have kept getting conflated because of it. The Nachmund Gauntlet is basically New Cadia, except instead of containing the Eye, it's the only stable bridge to Imperium Nihilus. I smell a campaign coming....

 

I'd really like to see some sort of hatred towards Thousand Sons. I mean, we've torched each other's homes three times now...there should be something in the rules to reflect that. 

 

The two real wishlist items for me would be talismans, tails, and rune weapons getting their old rules, and for more priests to be able to ride TWMs, instead of tooling around behind on a bike. It'll never happen, but eh. Oh, and scout autocannons to return. But now I'm showing my age....
