Is rebasing a viable explanation?

Probably the most reasonable speculation, or new rules. However this is a SW forum we can't have reasonable speculations! You dissappoint me Karack Blackstone!

[Guest Triszin]

simplest explanation wouldn't be rebasing, but a reboxing, with a new instruction booklet with rules

EVERYONE START PANICKING

 

THEY ARE TAKING OUR WOLVES AWAY

[Arentius]

OR "Fenrisian wolves can make a unit with a character" yes, this should be a thing

[NightHowler]

Confirmed: Primaris Fenrisian Wolves inbound

[PeteySödes]

I’d love them to officially go on the small ovals, the 40mm did them no kindnesses in gameplay or even modeling IMO.

 

It’s a relatively new kit though so frankly I’d be surprised if they went away unless we truly were getting the homogenization treatment with other Astartes. Not going to get worked up yet though. ;)

Well the cyber wolf kit is resin, and we know GW is slowly killing resin/metal kits off. So could be a additional sprue for a cyber wolf.

Lol, that is all I can say at this point.

What is the background on resin?

 

Was that what they marketed as fine cast?

 

Is it inferior to plastic?

 

I have been reading about 3D printing lately and uv cured resin is actually quite popular in that field (SLA printing)

"Fenrisian wolves sent to pound to be euthanized"

[PeteySödes]

A kit with multiple new cyberwolves would be very welcome. Pulling the non bionic good boys is still be an odd move though unless they were making some big combo unit as an upsell.

 

It certainly would save me tinkering with a bunch of those new enforcer mastiffs.

I can't say 100% certain but I do know there are more fines/taxes in producing resin than plastic (for at least US) for a company. Additionally why run 2 separate model making materials when you could switch to one. From every business aspect its better to go with plastic than a mix of resin and plastic. Maybe one day when 3d printing has become refined enough to mass produce models we will see a return to photo-resin, but i doubt we will go back to plaster-resin (i think that's the correct term for finecast).

 

For hobby it's great (except for the chemicals and clean up) and you aren't being fined/taxed by the government. 

[Wispy]

let's go way out there with our speculation: a new dual kit that builds Primaris Canis or Primaris Harald thst comes with a retinue of Wolfkin and cyberwolfkin.

 

replaces three resin characters with one stone.

God, I sure hope the new models are all jumping off of rubble /s

 

Haha, in reality I'm hoping for some even more detailed and mechanically gifted good boys!

[GrFlur]

"There are no wolves in Fenris"

[Dark Shepherd]

They just had a price increase too. Fairly simple sprue as well. Think its too late in 8th for reboxing/new rules

 

UNLESS

 

Theyre back to being wargear for characters.

 

Would love a new dual Fenrisian/cyber wolf box but thats too good to be true

 

UNLESS

 

Theres new wolf beasts in the box with Ragnar

[Jorin Helm-splitter]

I have two different theories.

 

1) the new price point was too high, so they're rebooting them as a unit of 10 with a different price point.

 

2) alot of space wolf players are experimenting with brigades. Being able to fill the FA slot low cost units is pretty strong.

[Dark Shepherd]

Maybe blisters of 2/boxes of 10?

 

Dont think its brigades as 3 cyberwolves would do that for a lot less

 

Maybe it was part of a Ragnar buzz that had people buying them? Though then it wouldnt have the no longer available bit just the sold out online?

[Jorin Helm-splitter]

I've seen quite a few cyber wolves that were made with the fenrisian wolf kit and green stuff

Yea like I’ve said the fen wolves are still fairly recent and easily hold up still. I think you’re right, even just based on history where “x” disappears people freak out and it’s a reboxing.

[Dark Shepherd]

Reboxing would be in line with change back to being wargear, cant see any other reason to rebox

[PeteySödes]

Sometimes it’s just the box style though, if I recall they still had the background art vs the grey new style. We’ll see shortly I suppose.

 

I’d just rather reason it to be something mundane and be surprised vs disappointed. If we get anything other than Ragnar it would be more than most get so kind of unlikely in my mind.

[Cpt.Danjou]

We all know what this means, Russ is inbound. ;)
