Wispy Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 I think the point of emphasis is his 'warrior born' close combat ability and drop pod tactics are secondary. he can give his company drop pod abilities without him actually needing to do be in one.

Wispy Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 also there was this spear thing from the Rumour Engine with a space wolves pyramid gem set in it awhile back. some thought it was Aelf stuff but the Lumineth Realm Lords dont appear to have anything like it. could be related to us.

Leif Bearclaw Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 they released Khan without a bike, they won't even blink about drop Pods.  This I was shocked when they released Khan without a bike. Like jaw on the floor shocked. I won’t be shocked if the do something equally thoughtless and stupid to Ragnar.  Call me a bitter cynic if you like, but why was this surprising? Even when they introduced Khan in 5th, although there was the option for him to have a bike, the only model was on foot. So model-wise not that much has changed. They replaced regular-Marine Khan on foot with Primaris Khan on foot.  The only thing that's changed is the whole reduction of customisation and 'no mini no rules' trend that's reared its ugly head. So the lack of a bike option is hardly surprising in an environment where Primaris Captains can only take a power fist if they also swap their bolt rifle for a plasma pistol.  Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/358259-runic-awakening-speculation/page/28/#findComment-5484069 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chazzmos Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 As someone with a pretty much fully Primaris army, I'd love it if they started transitioning all of the Primaris units into their equivalent Space Wolf unique units. Start with Intercessors becoming Grey Hunters and getting chainswords. Â I'm not that keen on new models as I'm still enjoying the Primaris and converting them a bit, but wouldn't say no to a sweet looking Ragnar. Â With all the speculation, I'm still going to be happy with pretty much anything and I'm excited to see what that might be.

Jorin Helm-splitter Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 I'm actually happy Saga of the Beast isn't up for preorder next week. If we're getting anything it'll be previewed before it goes up. Plus I can't use the rules at adepticon anyways.

Spinsanity Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 While ai agree Doctrines don’t really fit the Wolves, I’m pretty sure they’ll get them anyway; not doing so would mean Wolves is the one marine chapter you can’t mix in with the others because it means the whole army doesn’t have doctrines, making a I-VI / DA-SW alliance on the board extremely unlikely all of a sudden...  I know the ‘Super Doctrines’ make soup less interesting, but marine-soup should remain a possibility imho Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/358259-runic-awakening-speculation/page/28/#findComment-5484255 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wispy Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 (edited) Adepticon might be one of the things slowing things down. might get some more teasers before then instead of a full roll out.

Bulwyf Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Any chance they can to frustrate and disappoint SW players they will find a way to take it. Â I have zero hope that we get anything in this Saga. We have been left to rot as the worst army by far in 8th edition for the entire run of 8th. Why change that now?

Chazzmos Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 True true but we cant really get any worse can we... At least now we can have various flavours of crap to choose from I guess.  We're not winning tournaments, but outside of an ultra competitive context, I think we're fine. We can make a pretty good CC army with Wulfen and other units (e.g. Blood Claws, Aggressors, Wolf Guard), or a shooty army with a bit of a counter punch centred around Bjorn. We've got quite a range of unique units to pick from.  Sure, we'll got demolished by top tier armies, but the majority of armies will as well won't they?  I still love my wolfy space vikings and enjoy putting them on the table, but if an IH meta list is opposite me I just see what damage I can do or bit of play I can have fun with, never expecting to win. But if all of the tables around me have meta based net lists on them, then I'm either in the wrong place or running the wrong army.  Based on this, I'm looking forward to any models, rules, or lore that comes out with Saga of the Beast. I've also got a soft spot for Ghaz, so like that we've got some interaction with him.

Bulwyf Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Trust me I hope we get something absolutely lovely and wonderful. I just have lost any faith in GW delivering it to us. I still play my SW but it is completely demoralizing when you can't play them in even local tournies or even for casual games you have to bring your best list against a casual list to have a somewhat competitive game.

Wolf Guard Dan Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 We’ll get a few good stratagems and probably a mediocre super doctrine. The meat of it is getting access to litanies and combat doctrines. We will be fine. Hopefully we get a couple good relics too.

Dark Shepherd Posted March 2, 2020 Author Share Posted March 2, 2020 We’ll get a few good stratagems and probably a mediocre super doctrine. The meat of it is getting access to litanies and combat doctrines. We will be fine. Hopefully we get a couple good relics too. Will cry if our super doctrine is morale related.  Maybe this is crumbs feeling like a feast when youre starving but...  We have 2 relics so any more is a big deal. Add on any form of doctrines, litanies. Psychic powers seem to be trending lower in warp charge so that could be good. Plus we need more strats and our best one to be cheaper  for me/I think, the fun part will be making us more thematic as an army, defining/refining our style of play as a close combat army.

Sarto ripped claw Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 They can make him the Reiver lord. Drop him when you drop a pod. Per rules it wouldn’t matter if he’s coming with the pod or next to the pod.  Aesthetically I hope they don’t because he’d look better with the big boots.  Anyone else a little disappointed we didn’t get any other reveals this week? All we got was two pages of fluff (AND THE BEST ODIN-DARNED TWO PAGES IT WAS OF PSYCHIC AWAKENING).  I’m expecting the Ork reveals to be first. Brace yourselves kin.  I don't know many people who use drop pods in 8th unless your going full out fluff its just not competitive. So i'm not bother if he cant use it theres al;ways ways they can make alterations so he gets other things instead   Adepticon might be one of the things slowing things down. might get some more teasers before then instead of a full roll out.  the Makari teasing was a nice way to give them a time buffer.  I think the Corona virus affecting china majorly where a lot of GW's warehouses and manufacturing is done may have a part in this.

Karhedron Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 (edited) I think the Corona virus affecting china majorly where a lot of GW's warehouses and manufacturing is done may have a part in this. No. GW manufactures all its models in Nottingham, right here in the UK. Outside the UK it has major distribution centres in Memphis in the US and Sydney in Australia. The only things I have heard of being outsourced to the far-East is book publishing as GW doesn't print in large enough volumes to be worth opening their own printers (my info on this may be out-of-date). Â Bottom line is that GW doesn't manufacture in China so the impact of Covid-19 is likely to be minimal. Similarly, because they don't manufacture in China, they don't need much warehouse space there (I don't know if Warhammer has much of a presence in China).
