TiguriusX Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Read the wolf guard fine print on the leaked terminators datasheet *** Wolf Guard: If this unit is from the Space Wolves Chapter (or one of its successor Chapters), it has the Wolf Guard keyword. *** Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/366777-space-wolf-successor-rumor/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Space Wolves have had a "successor chapter" since the introduction of Primaris, so this shouldn't really come as a surprise.

librisrouge Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Yeah, the SWs are now able to have Primaris successor chapters. The rubricon primaris stabilizes their geneseed (as far as we know so far.)

TiguriusX Posted October 2, 2020 Author Share Posted October 2, 2020 Space Wolves have had a "successor chapter" since the introduction of Primaris, so this shouldn't really come as a surprise. Game rules are not novel lore rules. The Wolf Spear didn't exist in our codex or PA update. We may be able to do custom traits like vanilla marines now. I can't wait for the official news and rules preview.

svane jotunsbane Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 More concerning is the loss of the wolf guards weapon options and the standardising of the whole squad with the one weapon.

Rune Priest Jbickb Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 More concerning is the loss of the wolf guards weapon options and the standardising of the whole squad with the one weapon. Its likely a feature of our supplement not actually a loss. This just says if we take an assault Terminator squad they count as wolf guard. Not that regular wolf guard Terminators are no longer an option Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/366777-space-wolf-successor-rumor/#findComment-5610511 Share on other sites More sharing options...
templarphoenix Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 I care more of that we cant mix cc/shooty weapon in a same squad more than successors to be honest.

Guest Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 This is just the codex, I am sure that WG Termies will get their old weapon options. After all Deathwing are missing their iconic mace and shield.

Dark Shepherd Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Other parts of leaked codex mention us granting successor chapters Strikingscorpion82 on youtube will hopefully cover it in his preview today as he is a big wolves player Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/366777-space-wolf-successor-rumor/#findComment-5610771 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Triszin Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 nothing on space wolf successors in the book. no color schemes, no mentions. besides the generic ( space wolf and wolf succesors) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/366777-space-wolf-successor-rumor/#findComment-5610884 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Shepherd Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Aye no details yet, guess we have to wait to the codex. I can see it going either way tbh Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/366777-space-wolf-successor-rumor/#findComment-5610937 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Priest Jbickb Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 I think most of the other successors were discussed in their parent supplement give or take a couple more famous ones so I suspect the supplement will tell us Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/366777-space-wolf-successor-rumor/#findComment-5611192 Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabulousRex Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 I'm pretty excited to use successor traits with SW units! I had a 13th Company army WAY back in 2005, so ild like to be able to take Stealthy to represent that. There's Also a +1 to hit trait (on the charge ONLY), and the 6" HI trait is still there. So if you liked the old 8th ed SW playstyle, you can use these rules to emulate them. I'm honestly viewing Successor SW rules as "build your own Great Company", rather than straight up New chapters.

WickedJester1013 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Oh as I officially decided to run my wolves as a wolf spear successor I would be excited to see rules for them. Even have 3D printed icons! Unless they suck then I might have to change lol Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/366777-space-wolf-successor-rumor/#findComment-5611198 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrathOfTheLion Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 From what I've seen of the leaks, the rules are there to play a Space Wolves successor. Whether or not they show art of the known successors, the Wolf Brothers (defunct) and the Wolfspear, remains to be seen. Could be the Wolf Brothers end up reconstituted, like the Soul Drinkers seem to be.
