Dark Shepherd Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 (edited) The supposed leak of releases for the rest of the year has us down for a Battleforce, which we were already heavily rumoured for, so what will be in it and for how much?

The Great Squark Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Are you referring to the start collecting boxes? Or the boxed sets? It would he odd to get either given that Start Collecting! Primaris Space Wolves is so new while Sisters and Blood Angels are the next imperial factions to get psychic awakening releases.

Guest Triszin Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 It'll probably be stuff that isn't moving to will. Â T wolves, aggressors, reivers and claws Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/359440-space-wolves-battleforce-box/#findComment-5414351 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Guard Dan Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 He’s referring to a leak that a bunch of factions are getting battle force boxes. Which is typical for the holidays. And it just isn’t us. I have no idea what would be in the box. I’d be curious if they’re going to mix old marines with primaris marines. To my knowledge they haven’t in any box sets.  We really don’t have any wolf-only primaris. It would make sense for it to only be old marines. Or something like Ice pelt, intercessor, Wulfen, and a heavy option- maybe a vehicle... and another unit?

I' say.... 2-4 sets of the space wolves sprue (So 10-20 Grey Hunters/Blood Claws/PA Wolf Guard), 3 Thunderwolves, a vehicle of some kind, and Logan Grimnar or a Venerable Dreadnought kit for Bjorn (Our only plastic HQs who aren't primaris) Going primaris would end up replicating the Start Collecting box, which doesn't seem ideal for GW. I don't think GW wants two of their products competing with each other so directly.

killersquid Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Khrom dragongaze is a plastic ha as well! Â I personally don't see a non-primaris kit coming out for wolves at all. If we get a Christmas box, it'll be primaris with a bunch of the upgrade spruce.

Dark Shepherd Posted October 25, 2019 Author Share Posted October 25, 2019 I had the same thought re replication so wouldnt expect Aggressors or TWC. My guess is Wulfen (already Primaris sized) and maybe a Land Raider or even Stormwolf (might help with futureproofing) from our older range so to speak. Then Reivers as they fit a Wolfy Primaris theme plus some Primaris characters. Â Dont see it as being all Primaris as why then bother with us and not Ultramarines or something Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/359440-space-wolves-battleforce-box/#findComment-5414486 Share on other sites More sharing options...
UniWolf Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 I think there will be 2 units of GH with an upgrade sprue and either 2 units of TWC + 3 fenrisian wolves packs or 2 units of wulfen and a storm wolf Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/359440-space-wolves-battleforce-box/#findComment-5414509 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Shepherd Posted October 25, 2019 Author Share Posted October 25, 2019 For comparisons  Last SW battleforce was Stormfang SW dread 5 Wgt 5 Fenrisian Wolves Character 15 greyhunters/bloodclaws  Last years SM were  Repulsor, 3 Inceptors, 10 Reivers, 10 Intercessors, character  Redemptoe, 3 Aggressors, 5 Hellblasters, 10 Intercessors, character, upgrade sprue Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/359440-space-wolves-battleforce-box/#findComment-5414568 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WickedJester1013 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Most likely the same as last year with imperial fists, basic primaris with some upgrade spurs. What they could do is make it a Phobos primaris battle force. No Phobos armored box sets out side of shadow spear. Might even toss in the impulsor or two to get to melee kinda idea.

Dark Shepherd Posted October 25, 2019 Author Share Posted October 25, 2019 My logic for no upgrade sprues is they wont want the Aggressor pads to go to waste :) and if they do aggressors (and intercessors) then thats just the Start Collecting Primaris Space Wolves box  Phobos box would be cool. And might get more people splitting the box and thus buying it Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/359440-space-wolves-battleforce-box/#findComment-5414584 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain_Stormeyes Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 My money is that it will be some Primaris HQ's (maybe some upgrade sprues for these), some Primaris Troops, Aggressors, a Redemptor or Repulsor, and maybe one unique Wolf unit. The thing to remember is that with Wolves and Blood Angels being the boxes, the units in them will need to be usable by the codex compliant sheep marines.

The Great Squark Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 (edited) I didn't consider Phobos units... The Reiver Battle Leader (Gotta put some junk in there, after all :|), 10 Infiltrators/incursors, an impulsor, an invictor, and 3 Infiltrators, perhaps? The problem is there's no upgrade sprue for phobos... yet.

Karhedron Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 I would be surprised to see Phobos units in a discounted box so soon after release. I thought they normally waited a year before putting stuff in cheap bundles? Â Happy to be proved wrong of course. I haven't bought any of the new Vanguard units yet so a battleforce would be a great excuse.

bluescope Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 In my opinion, there will be 1 IronPriest, 10 TSM, 1 Dreadnought and 1 Flyer. Maybe 15 TSM. It's good oppotunity to clear the storage of old marine.

The Great Squark Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 (edited) So, we got 10 Intercessors (with upgrade sprues), 5 Wulfen, an Iron Priest, and a flyer. Â ... Wow. I'm not sure I could make a more disjointed collection of models if I tried. Â I mean, Fliers can't be consistently repaired by Iron Priests due to their minimum movement characteristic, The only legal passengers for the flier both want to be on the ground providing buffs/repairing... Â Yeah, this definitely feels like GW trying to move kits they have too many of.

Yeah its an odd one. Wouldve thought people are falling over intercessors/generic troops by now. Iron priest pays a premium point tax for his Tempest Hammer. Assume theres 2 upgrade sprues for the inters €200 worth of stuff that will probably be what €145? Our last one had about €50 more worth of stuff in it Edited October 30, 2019 by Dark Shepherd Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/359440-space-wolves-battleforce-box/#findComment-5417144 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Guard Dan Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Iron priest inclusion is weird. But the other stuff does get play. Wulfen are our best unit. The flier is a delivery method. Intercessors are good.  Priest could be converted to wolf lord for what it’s worth. And then you have a good force.

Guest Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 (edited) The unit synergy doesn't make sense as you all have said. Â The wulfen are too much for a stormfangs, and only fill a stormwolf 10 of 16 spots. Sure you could throw the iron priest in there, but what does he do? He isn't fixing the stormwolf, and hes probably not charging into combat with the wulfen. Â Then the intercessors are going to have to foot slog it up the board and won't be of any fire support for the wulfen. Â I agree it feels like model clearing time. Most people will only get 1 unit of Wulfen because they are so expensive, 1 stormfangs/wolf because it is also expensive. I don't know anyone who uses our iron priest, or if they do it's a single one. The intercessors are good to have extra on hand as they are 17 ppm. So 3 of 4 units you only keep 1 on hand, and most people have those anyways.

Â I think you can read between the lines here and figure out which elements are going to remain prominent parts of the range going forward. Â Aside from the Iron Priest, which is relatively recent plastic model (only 4 years old), no small-scale Marine infantry. Â GW really needs to get going on some Space Wolf specifc primaris infantry, I am starting to get antsy as my bitz box goes dry.
