Krakendoomcool Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Officially excited now. Wulfen dread with Axe AND claw! Ok blizzard shield is probably the best thing any dread has ever had in 40k but how cool is axe and claw gonna look! Wulfen dread smashing my Deathguard and Ork armies into the bin and taking over...oh wait Orks! Awesome!

Armchairarbiter Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Wow I am super happy and pumped with the information they released today!! I was ready to share the revelation of the sword/board with a heavy flamer combo but someone beat me to it! I can't wait to hear more, so far it appears GW is on the right path with our Codex! If the Wulfen dread can advance and charge..... golly.

M.Redbeard Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Im so incredibly pumped for the flexibility that new dread gives us..... Not to mention how insaney awesome Hunters Unleashed is assuming thats our chapter tactic. It seems to be since in applies to Infantry, Cavalry, Bikers and Dreads.

Guest Triszin Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Wulfen dread has no shield. I guess he wields it two handed for the scythe attack. A pity, since no shield = dead dread...sigh. nope base wulfen dread load out is Fenrisian great axe, WOlf claw and sotrm bolter. the dreads holds the axe one handed still. Replace either fenrisian great axe or storm claw and storm bolter for a blizzar sheild and a flamer. its an incredible dread frankly Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/349531-codex-next-week/page/36/#findComment-5145501 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire Wolf Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 What do you guys think of the 'Close Combat champion' mentioned? I feel like that's all of our HQs already!

M.Redbeard Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Thing about the Wulfen Dread it does indeed share abilities with Murderfang. Before the Abilities fade one can read Murderlust, so he can reroll failed charges at least.

I feel like that's all of our HQs already! its in the lore and finally on the table "you can now add a close-combat Champion to your Great Company" arjac is the champion of Grimnar. we can now make our custom chapions for our greatcompanys it sounds like I hope it allows us to make Ulfar the first champion of russ. cataphractii armor, chain axe, storm bolter, cyclone missle launcher Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/349531-codex-next-week/page/36/#findComment-5145513 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armchairarbiter Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 What do you guys think of the 'Close Combat champion' mentioned? I feel like that's all of our HQs already! If I remember correctly these are basically a cheap Lone Wolf from the regular SM force right? With the new heroic intervention I think they would be great, cheap babysitters for a unit of Long Fangs. If anyone charges them, heroically intervene from a hidden spot since melee doesn't require LOS.

Before the Abilities fade one can read Murderlust, so he can reroll failed charges at least. Not to mention the 8" move. Im incredibly curious how the old venerable will stack up similarly loaded. Their 2+ to hit is less of an issue if we get +1 to hit in the first round regardless of how we get there. Maybe they separated the loadouts and venerable are more standard now? I hope not, like i said Im loving the flexibility here.

Konnavaer Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Really happy about the Hunters Unleashed rule, it means we are going to be an effective and deadly close combat force as we should be and also will be able to hit back hard when we are assaulted, plus the characters heroically intervening means we can have decked out characters standing with our longer range units for a really effective counter punch if they get charged, I can't wait ! Giving characters hammers and fists now means they will effectively be ignoring the -1 to hit with those weapons which is going to be brutal, bring on Friday for a look at some stratagems and relics ! Feels good to be positive brothers ! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/349531-codex-next-week/page/36/#findComment-5145524 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Holy hell. They included the Contemptor in the base codex? A sign of things to come, perhaps?

Fire Wolf Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Here's (wishlisting) hoping one of our stratagems temporarily makes an entire unit go to the edge of the wulfen curse and double their attacks or something for a round of fighting!

Armchairarbiter Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Hunters unleashed can't be the chapter tactics, that's so over powered? It is brother! Says it right in the article, it's our "faction ability". Well, if it isn't our Chapter Tactic. Then it is our version of the Red Thirst or whatever the BA gets with the +1 to wound. So maybe his + a chapter tactic? The +1 to wound is a blanket ability on much of the BA units as well.

Karhedron Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 OK, after the disappointing reveal of Tooth and Claw, my optimism levels are rising slowly. I know how good "Red Thirst" is for Blood Angels and it looks like "Hunters Unleashed" will be similarly effective for us. Blood Claws hitting on a 2+ can potentially be viable without any further character support IMHO. Most of the unit descriptions are too vague to read much into but Dreadnought detachments are definitely still going to be a thing. As for our characters, I think wargear options can best be summed up in the words of the song. Hammer Time!
