Watcher Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Man, I didn't intend for that Great Wolf theory to spread like a virus... good... good... In all seriousness, I've been thinking a lot about Lone Wolves lately and currently did a conversion based off an art piece from the 5th ed. Codex that kind of spurred those thoughts. How would you feel about a true return of lone wolves AND the use of the strat.? Bums me out that I cant run a lone wolf because of points and it being an index option. They made for the coolest models and the heaviest hitters. I remember my playgroup being terrified of this one model - I AM NATHANIEL GARRO AND I AM A LEGION OF ON...- *AHEM*, being scared of this one lone model beating the living daylights out of their most precious units. They would spend the following turns trying to kill this bloodied wolf, and when they finally killed him.... He CaME BaCk. Would love to see more options for these legends.

Wolf Guard Dan Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 You may take one auxiliary support detachment to field an under-strength unit. It costs a CP to use this detachment. And then you can use the stratagem to make him a lone wolf. I think that checks out. Good luck. The only problem I see is that it says "that has been reduced to a single model" in the stratagem but doesn't say how. Probably intended as the other guys have to die, but it was also reduced to 1 in during army creation. You can also just run your Lone Wolf Models as battle leaders. *shrug* Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/358259-runic-awakening-speculation/page/24/#findComment-5480724 Share on other sites More sharing options...

My main problem with running them a BL's is I already have quite a few that I use consistently and I miss the old shrug rules, etc. for Lone Wolves.

ranulf the revenant Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Careful when talking about Ragnar, the monkey's paw that is GW's content designers is always listening for bellyaching. We could end up with Wulfen Ragnar. Something I would actually kind of like would be a Wulfen Runepriest Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/358259-runic-awakening-speculation/page/24/#findComment-5480781 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Shepherd Posted February 23, 2020 Author Share Posted February 23, 2020 At risk of paranoia maybe lone wolf as a unit is falling foul to no model no rules?

PeteySödes Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 At risk of paranoia maybe lone wolf as a unit is falling foul to no model no rules? Even though you just make one out if any generic wolf kit Personally I think it more likely that they were digging for more things to be strats. But it wouldn’t shock me it the model factored into it.

Bat33.1 Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 If GW are going full Primaris marines it would be very easy for them to switch Bjorn and Murderfang into Redemptor chassis with a simple upgrade sprue. Unless there is some reason only Primaris can fit into a Redemptor?

Bryan Blaire Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 The Redemptor chassis causes pilots in their sarcophagi to burn out faster, so it is probably preferable not to have a hero of the Chapter of the status of Bjorn interred in that chassis until they figure out if he'd survive in it. Obviously if GW really wanted to, they could just write that his strength of will could overcome the energy loads and not burn out.

Arentius Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Please no Bjorn in a Redemptor, that'll give him degrading stats and enough wounds to be shot off the board. By all means give us a NEW Redemptor hero (i mean we have the most dreadnoughts of any chapter after all) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/358259-runic-awakening-speculation/page/24/#findComment-5480829 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Saint Ragnar Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Next week's preorders and stories are up. Looks like we are getting nothing for next week. We will be maybe the week after? I was hoping the start of my jury duty would be balanced by hope of new rules previews next week. So looks like we are getting things mid-march or later.

Vassakov Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 monday should be another story. Tuesday, should hopefully be actual information on PA6 I suspect much of this week will be dedicated to the BL Weekender, with PA6 coming the week after. On the other hand, that would be 3 consecutive weeks of 40k stuff so it is possible that it will be AoS/LotR previewed on 01/03/20 and then PA6 on 08/03/20, for preorder on 14th and release on 21st.

Bryan Blaire Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 You don't need to cast the runes to see that a new Ragnar Blackmane miniature is on the way...Odd, Ran, because that’s all it seems like you’d be doing... Nothing in that story says “New Ragnar mini” just like the appearance of the Death Guard in a PA lead-in story didn’t feature the Death Guard at all in the actual PA book. Temper expectations, lads, don’t inflame them, lest you cause a roasting of all in the Fang due to disappointment. Is a new Ragnar mini coming at some point? Sure, but that story in no way indicates it’s in the next month.

Dark Shepherd Posted February 24, 2020 Author Share Posted February 24, 2020 Ragnar definitely features in the lore/story of Saga of the Beast I think a difference is Death Guard story was first one for The Greater Good I seriously think they might do new pet Wolves for him too cos of scale creep Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/358259-runic-awakening-speculation/page/24/#findComment-5481192 Share on other sites More sharing options...
