Moonstalker Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 5 hours ago, Karhedron said: Agreed, nothing concrete yet but I suspect the prices are roughly in the ballpark. For timing, I think the army box might be a bit further out. We have been rumoured to be getting a season Chaos. Emperor's Children getting March, World Eaters getting April for an Easter/Eaters pun and then DG/1KSons May/June (order uncertain). That would put Wolves around July, either just before/after HH 3.0 drops. All just conjecture on my part. The argument I heard for 4-8 weeks is that's supposedly, usually, what GW's timeline is for things that are "Now" on their road map. Otherwise it's anyone's best guess. Good news is I talked to the manager at my local GW and he says if I miss the pre-order, he'll hold one of the store copies for me.

Apokalypsi Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 So based on the reveal video and article, I'm thinking the Headtakers will be amazing with Ragnar. Assuming we keep something similar to the CoR detachment, he could become a character slaughterhouse by gaining Precision from the Headtakers. I think it'll make Saga of Warrior Born super easy to trigger. Him not having to worry about cutting through all the bodyguard will make it much easier to kill characters.

Karhedron Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 You may be right. Although any Captain would probably do well. Give them a Power Fist and trigger "Finest Hour" for 8 S8 attacks with Precision and Devastating Wounds.

Apokalypsi Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 True. Think I'd rather have Ragnar for advance and charge along with repeatable massive attacks for Assassination. The Dev wounds of the Captain would be nice though for making sure you got Warrior Born.

I’m curious how picking a new target will work. Do we pick a new target when the head taker unit kills the target or just when the target dies? Mastering that mechanic will be important. I was a little worried about grey hunters and blood claws on the News thread. But I think the movers and shakers will be the head takers and rumored terminators.

Moonstalker Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 As good as Ragnar could be with Headtakers, I'd like to see him be able to join Company Heroes like other Captains.

Grimtooth Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Great to see that our Grey Hunters and Blood Claws won’t just be in name only in with what appears to be True Grit and some version of Headstrong/Furious Charge on the Blood Claws. While the models would have been tempting to buy into this codex release, the fact that they are actually SW in the rules now seals the deal. Time to start thinking about an army list!

Just FYI...we already have a 1 CP core stratagem called epic challenge that grants precision.

Apokalypsi Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Doh! I always forget about that stratagem, along with everything but Armor of Contempt. I need to play more regularly.

I need to play more regularly. Print them out as cards and keep a little hand of the few you do not want to forget so you can peruse them quick. As for the wolves, I am so eager to start this army. Have the current combat patrol on my desk to start tomorrow. I would never speak ill of my watch, but I have been painting black armour for so very long. Space Wolf Grey is going to be fun.

Havok13 Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Emperor's Children next week. Could that mean SW in 3 - 4 weeks? Lemondish 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/385581-new-era-for-space-wolves/page/2/#findComment-6103962 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonewolf81 Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 (edited) They teased the world eaters release during Easter time so 2 weeks from now. Space wolves box is supposed to get released sooner along with the T-sons and then world eaters and deathguard according to the road map. So if emperors children were announced first then the following week should be T-sons and Wolves box and the week after that world eaters and deathguard :) (the 4 chaos books were also rumored to be released back to back so we will see) Edited April 7 by lonewolf81 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/385581-new-era-for-space-wolves/page/2/#findComment-6104045 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wispy Posted Friday at 06:03 PM Share Posted Friday at 06:03 PM (edited) I wonder if the rumoured Wolf Scouts will have special weapons and melee weapons to differentiate them from regular scouts. It'd be their classic loadout, which Codex scouts also got (missile launchers, heavy bolters, etc). It might be unappealing to GW give Tacticus troops plasmas and meltas these days but maybe for an elite scout unit they're okay with it. edit: their current rules allow for all that fun stuff, Would love for these types of scouts to get new models Edited Friday at 08:42 PM by Wispy Karhedron 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/385581-new-era-for-space-wolves/page/2/#findComment-6104693 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbarnby71 Posted Monday at 09:49 AM Share Posted Monday at 09:49 AM The best part of the range refresh is, finally the older wolves don't have the male-pattern-baldness that we got lumbered with in the old multi-part kit. You know the ones I mean with the silly sticky up bits at the side like they were attempting a bad comb-over.

But I appreciate how the close combat weapons in both the new Grey Hunter and Blood Claw packs look simple and elegant. No excessive wolf iconography. Even the larger storm shields on the Headtakers have enough on them to not distract from the entire model.

Wolf Guard Dan Posted Tuesday at 02:57 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:57 AM The kit detail is vastly superior to our last refresh. Hairdos and all. I really like the design approach between blood claws and grey hunters. It reflects what I did with my units. Blood claws I made with the 3rd edition kits- less flash and detail on their armor. Grey Hunters are the 5th edition kit- plenty of flash. I do think the new grey hunters could do with a little more flash on their armor but I appreciate the time saved not having to paint it. Say what you will about Wulfen but I would be interested to see what they would design with the modern tech. At least no weird feet.

Apokalypsi Posted Tuesday at 01:21 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 01:21 PM So with the reveal of the drop pod, I'm thinking Blackmanes will be one of our new detachments. Transport capacity will finally allow for a full 10-man squad and, at least, 1 character.

I will be very happy if I have missed something. Given the way 10th edition works, the inability to deploy a 10-man squad + Character to lead them is one of the thing that makes the pod a lot less useful than it could be. The drop pod needs some love because at the moment it struggles to compete with an Impulsor. The Impulsor only costs 10 points more and can only carry 6 models but in return it provides a shooting platform for shooty squads, it cannot be screened as easily and it can still move, claim Objectives and shoot once it has deployed its cargo.

Tokugawa Posted Tuesday at 11:07 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:07 PM In 10th you can pay the cost of 10 models but field 9 models if you really want to.
