PeteySödes 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. *Raises horn. Good short story though.

NightHowler Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 If you want some real tempering of expectations, then try to remember that it is entirely within the realm of possibility that Ragnar simply dies fighting the beast and is not “primarisized”. I’m sure Ragnar will be in the lore. I hope it’s good lore with great sagas on both sides. I hope we both get nice rules. I hope Ragnar doesn’t die. Keep expectations low to reduce the impact of disappointment. Or keep expectations high to maximize the blow. The choice is ours.

It jimmies back and forth whenever a old face is about to get a Primaris re-release and it's been shaking up a storm o'er the last few days.

PeteySödes Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 (edited) I think this may be new art... Nevermind looks to be from sanctus reach era. Double Edit: Warcom article at least confirms we wont get "death guarded". "The next Psychic Awakening book, Saga of the Beast, will centre around the Space Wolves’ attempts to finally end Waaagh! Ghazghkull, and you’ll be able to pick it up next month. In the meantime, get ready for the Ork incursions by grabbing the original model for Commissar Yarrick, available for one week only on a Made to Order basis."

Wolf Guard Dan Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 The prophesy of Gloomwolf lines up with most peoples expectations. Ragnar fights Ghazkull, loses, doesn’t die but gets whooped, probably Primarisized. This may be the best short story of the bunch. I’m not biased, I swear.

Krakendoomcool Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Nice short story! Looks like Ragnar is gonna be in the thick of all the best fighting. I wonder if he does go Primaris. Would be a bit of a shock if he did get a new model and wasn't a Primaris. From a story point of view would be interested to see if he gets defeated or decides to go Primaris. From a minor gaming point of view he will no longer fit in a drop pod as a Primaris. He is the king of drop pod assault after all. Wonder if they give him another way to get right into the thick of it. Exciting times anyway. betrayer41 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/358259-runic-awakening-speculation/page/25/#findComment-5481283 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Blaire Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 It’s a very good short story, IMO, and the fact that it’s rustling Ran’s ole bone is probably doing good things for him. Krakendoomcool brings up a really good point - what other mechanisms could they give Ragnar to get into the thick of it (assuming that we will continue with “Primaris can’t get in drop pods” and there aren’t any Primaris ‘pods)? Since there’s little game mechanical difference between the Phobos and Tacticus MkX armors, it might be cool to have a grav-chute version of Ragnar that could run with some Reivers (even better if we were to get a nice Reiver upgrade unit at some point) - it seems his style of combat to fit with that. What else could GW do? If they do a new Ragnar, whether classic or Primaris, I’d like to see him get some new wolves just for his kit and be more aggressively posed.

You really think GW is going to kill him off? A little reasonable realistic outlook needs to add some balance here. I’m sorry, but I would argue that urging caution is the opposite of folly. Recommending that people not get their hopes up is like saying, ”you should wear a seatbelt because an accident is within the realm of possibility.” Am I saying you’ll have an accident? Good lord no. I’m just saying that if you drive fast with no seatbelt and the worst actually does happen you’ll be in trouble. I am absolutely not saying Blackmane will die. I’m saying we shouldn’t expect a new model.

Watcher Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 We all have our own expectations and we cant force anyone to hold our own. So Brothers, lets stay banded together in hopes of what we know we'll get and celebrate when we/if we receive the unexpected!!!! On another note, I wish Geedubs would just release more sneak peaks. It seems like Wolves keep getting put on the backburner a bit. Looking forward to when we can actually see what PA6 has for us.

Nrthstar Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Been around long enough, I'm ok with feeling excited and hoping for a new Ragnar, if we don't get it, nothing new, been through disappointed to not have a new toy yet. I haven't been this excited for a GW preorder Sunday announcement in a long time. I'll bet 20 Ork Teef on this one, new model! And if I'm wrong, oh well, there's always more Orks to get more teef from. betrayer41 and Mogdredd 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/358259-runic-awakening-speculation/page/25/#findComment-5481330 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Stormwolves have always been my favored, 8th hasn't been kind to them. Between their prices, being priority target, the ease of killing, and no primaris allowed they have been harder and hard to justify. The mere idea of these longship-style ships screaming as they come down from orbit, then hovering while their bolters pound at the enemy lines. Then the massive maw opening, marines jumping out in a frenzy to charge the enemy line in a murder-frenzy. That idea is what I want my army to be.

Sarto ripped claw Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Ragnar is so getting a new model. yeah yeah yeah dont get your hopes up but that sucks the fun outta it. if no model yeah i'll get disappointed but im a big boy it wont last long lol. One thing I heard is that the reason we haven't yet seen Gaz's model is because he's wearing Svangir and Ulfgir's pelts. As much as this would sqdden me i think it would be awesome narratively. If ragnar is defeated by gaz those wolves are not going to sit there and watch fgaz finisgh him off they will be stuck in. i can see gaz killing the wolves in front of ragnar either before hes defeated or as he lies on the precipise of death. ranulf the revenant 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/358259-runic-awakening-speculation/page/25/#findComment-5481474 Share on other sites More sharing options...
