Wraithwing Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 It seems that the nerf bat has being swung hard on the non-primaris chapter specific units. Bulwyf, Overkill and Starlight_Wolf 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this mean there's potential for primaris versions of said units down the line, a la BT Crusader squad? If so Primaris sized TWC would be quite something (unless just the rider bulks up and the mount stays roughly the same) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Triszin Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 I honestly don't expect a wolf codex until the end of 10th frankly. I'd be happy to be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamulot Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 I agree that the Heirloom weapon treatment is similar to Accursed weapons. However, Wulfen and Thunderwolves have no ability to take Power fists or other melee weapons. A CSM terminator squad can be kitted with multiple PF/CF and Chosen can take PF. That is a major difference. Wolf Guard Dan, Toxichobbit, Bulwyf and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnivore Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 I seriously doubt this will even ping on most anyone else’s radar, but I’m gutted they knocked my favorite character, Arjac Rockfist, down to a generic S8 from his mighty S10. I hate when they can’t just let characterful stuff be. He wasn’t game-breaking, but I loved his uniqueness and the fact that every now and again his strength and special attack caught someone by surprise and did something epic. He can still throw his hammer, that’s something, but it’s just basic thunder hammer strength now. Doesn’t really fit the fluff of the biggest and strongest Firstborn Space Wolf/Space Marine in the current setting.

Dark Shepherd Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 (edited) Wulfen even lost frost claws The shooting of Stormwolf's has been shot to pieces Blood Claws have to be in units of 10 or more Murderfang needs an FAQ Harald lost outflank Pleasantly surprised we got WGPL Wulfen Dreads look good Ragnar looks flexible Long Fangs got rr 1s Edited June 12, 2023 by Dark Shepherd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squark Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 56 minutes ago, MasterDeath said: Its not the vanguard Treatment. Its the Chaos Treatment. We play that way for months now, its Not that bad, calm down. Not really. Chaos get two choices, which means the unit can have multiple roles. And Acured weapons are noticably stronger than the glorified chainswords heirloom weapons are.

Blurf Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 This is the one index I've seen so far that I absolutely don't begrudge it's players for having a problem with. It's...not good. None of the Spacewolf specific units are that great, and their army rule is MUCH worse than the standard marine rule. Maybe SW are supposed to be horde army now and wulfen and thunderwolf cav are like 18ppm?

AnvilofFenris Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 I quite like that the enhancements help achieve the sagas. Majesty= Pelt of the Balewolf (battle shock opponents units, drop their OC, take the objective) Warrior Born= Frost weapon (Precision to pick out characters from units) Beastslayer=Black death (for bonuses BA monsters/vehicles) Bear= Wolf tail talisman (let’s you tinker with damage to get that below half wounds/not dead balance) Might help trigger those sagas with appropriately equipped characters and then unlock those strategem bonuses Valerian 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ehfull Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 (edited) The worst thing for me is the loss of capacity to control the fight. No more spell for fight last, no special HI, no russ armor, no fight first some where in our index. This and the fact we fight far worst than other fighty SM, are the nails in our play style, imo.

Medicinal Carrots Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Gladius does seem to be the better detachment for Wolves. You lose out on some flavor, but you're still at least as good as Codex marines and potentially better that way.

Space Wolves are still Space Marines Plus, they're just not Space Marines Plus+ like some of the other divergent chapters.

MasterAO Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Quote ■ For every 5 models in this unit, one Wolf Guard Terminator can replace its power fist and storm bolter with one of the following: ◦ 1 assault cannon ◦ 1 heavy flamer ◦ 1 storm bolter and 1 cyclone missile launcher If you give a wolf guard terminator a heavy weapon, they loose their power fist.

Dark Legionnare Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 I was wondering "Man, what will GW do to 'balance' thunderwolf cavalry and wolf guard" the other day as I thought about GW's seeming aversion to anybody having squads with hammers, fists, etc... other than termies and aggressors. I did not expect "Here's your S5 chainswords, enjoy." Good lord, haha... TWC get at least serviceable hitting power with damage doubling up on the charge.
