Orange Knight Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 1 hour ago, Apokalypsi said: I'm guessing they'll save the talon for Corax if they decide to ever bring him back. I have a feeling he'll stay as a lore only character for a while yet. He's a Daemonic Raven creature now, hunting Lorgar in the warp, and the Raven Guard aren't as popular as the big 4 chapters. I think we'll see Russ in the near future, and eventually MAYBE Rogal Dorn or Vulkan. The Imperial Fists are extremely important in the lore, and a key focus for GW in the Horus Heresy setting. I'm always dejected at how ignored they've been in 40k - we don't even have a model for our chapter master, or much lore for thar matter, but that's another topic entirely. Claws are associated with the Space Wolves, so the Emperor's Talon makes sense. They could go a different direction, and have a wise, Odin inspired Russ with the Spear from the HH novels.

Karhedron Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 I think that the spear the Emps gave Russ to hunt Horus with is a possibility but I don't think that he took it with him on his vision quest. I think he left it in the Fang and it was eventually lost when Ragnar stabbed Magnus in the eye with it. It was eventually recovered and returned to its shrine on the planet Garm. Russ is usually depicted with a chainsword in artwork so I would imagine him carrying either the Spear or a chainsword (or both for sweep and strike attacks).

And for those who haven't read SW novels the funny part is Leman Russ hates that gdamn spear. StrangerOrders and Karhedron 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should give it a shooting profile. Just to reflect the books where he is constantly trying to get rid of the thing only for it always somehow find its way back.

Wispy Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 They might just keep selling Stormrider and Logan. I can see them just dropping the new Logan sprue in Stormrider boxes and jacking the price, lol. Dark Shepherd 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're just a little stir crazy, we have no idea what we might be getting so any rumours at all makes us jittery. Edited April 25 by Wispy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harald Fairmane Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 My wish list is that I think they should "primarisize" a lot of the previous great space wolf flavour, - wolf guard set like the sword brethren, those same wolf guard can be used as pack leaders in other packs - wolf guard pack leader option for every squad in addition to pack leader - Wolf Scouts can take a phobos wolf guard pack leader - primaris grey hunters which gives intercessors chainswords for a couple extra points - true grit is back - fenrisian wolves should be much more present, option for all characters to take them - updated sculpts for thunderwolves, larger and more muscular. possibly cavalry rectangle bases for wolves and thunder wolves instead of circles. loved the 13th from the eye of terror, would be interesting but highly unlikely if they got their own mini codex consisting of only infantry, bikes, wolves and a rune priest gating them around the board. Could possibly add scouts. Wolf Lord Duregar 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
