Codex Next Week

I dreamed last night that our new codex would have the rules for Sanguinius.

You heard it here first, folks.

 

Careful fellas... I know it's highly unlikely for a space wolf to get the Black Rage but this guy is having dreams of Sanguinius!!!

 

someone call chaplain lemartes!

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....

GW will see your requests and give you... a Primaris Lieutenant in a box set, and a codex that will provide stratagems and some relics.

 

Is it just me or does the battle leader look like he has a regular bolter, possibly a bolt carbine (like Reivers have)? It looks too short to be a bolt rifle.

Are you viewing on mobile? Forums seem to be squishing the image. It looks longer on desktop.

On mobile. But it’s not just that. The gun is missing the cylindrical greeblie on top above the mag that bolt rifle variants have.

I'm hearing through some sources about a potential nerf, that the Blizzard Shield is going to be reduced from 3++ to 4++. Now I think/hope that they didn't apply change in the final draft of the codex.

Hoo boy I’d be pissed, I expect a point increase but that’d be massive.

I'm going to wait and see what is in the codex, but I can't seem to get any hype to continue my wolves. The Primaris WGBL is neat, however I fail to see how to really implement Primaris into my SWs without melee. Also the Primaris are a pain to convert. I am attempting to convert intercessors to use Wulfen weapons to count as Wulfen. Their poses are suited for carrying a gun not shield+hammer. Reivers are easier conversion as they hold their arms apart. It's been almost a year since Primaris release and I was hoping to have more variety of troops for all SMs is all.

 

I think we will see more Primaris soon, either in a gathering storm style campaign or a supplement that they try to sell to every marine player. I don't know if they will try to fit in a close combat specialists though between BA & SW we already have death company, and wulfen. Those are really hard units to match up too. Intercessors, and aggressors both filled in gaps and I would think most primaris units will follow that pattern. 

 

 

 

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

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. 

 

 

You know something? Maybe something wrong with my eyes but I cannot tell whether those guys are Primaris or not. The main close up guy without a helmet and the one behind him looks like he is holding a bolt rifle and the knee pad.... oh yeah, the knee pad is definitely Primaris Mk 10. the further 2 in the background.... could be regular grey hunters as the armour doesn't look like Mk 10. Thankfully I've been painting my Intercesors as though they are Grey Hunters with appropriate markings.

 

Either way, very good artwork, looks like the old and new school are working together.

got some information from a decent source

 

The Wulfen Dreadnought is kind of a Murderfang variant

would be fun to see similar load to the wulfen models.

 

I'm most curious to see if the wulfen dreads get fnp

 

 

FANG

could you ask the source, if we get 13th data sheets?

 

 

thenif there are any "brand new" data sheets to the wolves, like a storm raven

He's clammed up for now, but i'll ask around

I think I have a bridge to sell you guys. In the meantime why don't we wait for legit info.

 

*Brynngar voice* Don't be a party pooper! We're all coming together with ale in hand to cast our runes of foresight to discern the pretty trinkets we may have! 

Lol totally but i just can't get behind the "I heard from my second uncle twice removed who lives in canadas kid who went to a GW store once that __insert triggering nerf__ and ____insert obvious derp rumour___ ."

 

I'd rather hear some crazy wishlisting and called shots than that.
