Recommended Posts

GW have a link to the Grey Hunter pack here. If you scroll through the images, you can find pictures of the sprues as well as lots of examples of what you can do with them.

According to Valrak we are getting a new Logan Grimnar model, not sure if this was from same rumour dump that included Darktide box, which is cool but I wonder if his sled will be legendsed? if he gets a new sled I will lose my mind as then we are highly likely to get new TWC

A new Logan would be surprising given he is quite a new sculpt and already in plastic. Then again, the other 3 big named Chapter Masters have now crossed the Rubicon so perhaps it was inevitable.

If he came with new Wolf Guard it would make some sense, and feed into the 10th edition is the terminator edition vibe

 

Means we might be more likely to get new Arjac and Njal) too

 

The sled seems like a pain to balance or need lead to a load of complaints as its so hard to get the keywords or rules interactions right

Valrak rumor:

 

New Logan.

 

 

- if real I see sled going away

One can only hope. I get that 40k can be silly in how technology is repurposed, but the sled is  just too cartoony.

Yes, it really represented the nadir of the "Wolfy McWolf-face" design aesthetic.

I'd love to see him go the Gravis armor route a la Calgar so he can run with Aggressors.

 

I have a soft spot for good ol' TDA. If they can do as good a job on Logan as they did on Belial, I will be one happy puppy!

He's had two releases in Terminator armour already. It justifies his update more if they take a different direction.

 

Gravis looks a lot better now than it did when the Primaris 1st appeared. Perhaps Logan and the Wolf Guard could all be clad in Gravis armour going forward?

 

Although I do suspect they might stick with the classic Terminator look.

Hopefully they do something similar to the Calgar kit. He could be accompanied by two Wolf Guard, and he can still join a variety of units alongside his bodyguards.

In terms of expectations, it really depends if rumours are true and we get a true wave or if we get the other type of release and get a single HQ.

 

If its the latter, I think Logan is fair since TDA just got remade and all that. Or they blindside us with a someone random.

 

If we get a proper wave along the DA/BT format then I would hope for:

-Logan in TDA, sans chariot for the love of god.

-A support character, I would personally favor seeing a new Njal. 

-Wolf Guard Terminators, maybe tone down the pelts a bit but otherwise I think an upscaling of the current kit would do very well. Lots of trophies and weapon mish-mash sets.

-Wolf Guard, I think the idea of extremely personalized bands of grizzled veterans is pretty central to the identity of the Wolves. Covering them in runic panels, trophies and the like would be perfect.

-A generous sprue in line with the DA/BT one, although I would trade a fair bit of real estate for more head options. 

 

Russ is of course a hope but if we roll him then I would swap out Wolfguard for 13th Company Veterans, something more humanoid and 30k than Wulfen. Proper Sky Warriors returned from a more horrific Valhalla.

 

Bjorn and a new Dread kit would be cool but its too much at odds with precedent to seem likely.

Valrak let slip we're allegedly getting a new Logan Grimnar. This on top of his "Russ is closing out the edition' chanting.

 

If we get Russ to close out the edition and a buffed Sanguinor (hopefully) as a Primarch-equivalent for the Blood Angels then all the Big 4 chapters will have a massive centrepiece leader model by the end of 10th.

If power armored wolf guards get their own kits, it would possibly in sword brethren way, many melee options, improved statline e.g. 3 wounds, higher price tag.

 

And there will certainly be some named heroes can't pass Rubicon this time...

I would definitely love to see something like that.

Can I add the Russ closing out Edition is my personal theory/foil, I'm going to speak more on that soon :)
