Before you see the codex you will see something else new under the sun for Space Wolves. Think in terms of the most glaring current gap in the Space Wolves lineup.

Just incase people haven't seen these.

So a flier then? What else are SW lacking in their lineup?

Yes, it would be a flyer, obviously. I assume this would be like our "Gorka/Morka-naut" type unit. Hopefully it doesn't suck!

**Thorgrim Bloodcrow**

Is it bad that I kind of don't care if Space Wolves get a flyer or not? I'd be just as happy getting some skyfire/flakk missiles and some other kind of new toy. Fingers are still permanently crossed in hopes that they become Codex: Vlka Fenryka. And I'm still hoping that these so called "Rune Warriors" are some kind of new anti-psyker shield unit. I'm actually not overly fussed about using psykers anyway. It'd be cool to go against armies that rely on psykers and just nope my way across the field to hit them in the face.

The rune warriors thing isn't happening.

**dienekes96**

But the $200 for a box of stuff and new HQ unit probably is. I hope the sculpt is MACK PHLY, though.

**Fayric**

The glaring gap sure sounds like a flyer.
Still the teaser for hour of the wolf has a page with ragnar artwork and a page with headline "the deeds of ragnar blackmane".
Makes me wonder.

**Triszin**

Gap sounds like a flyer to me, but the way its worded makes me think wulfen. =/

**1hadhq**

A

thunder..

thunder..

thunder-hawk?

or Castle Greyskull to complete the set.

**plastictrees**

My money is on a Drop Wolf.

**Uriels_Flame**

Trojan Wolf...

I would be ok with drop pod anti air units.

Immobile gun placements ?

Make them the Dwarves of 40k?

**WrentheFaceless**

Exclusive video of the new Space Wolves air unit

Spoiler:

**cincydooley**

Huh. It's a good thing no one has been saying there'd be a space wolf flyer prior to this.....

**Bulldogging**

Sorry if this was posted already.

There is a new Space Wolf flyer coming next week, that comes with two options. Space Wolves are here!

Please remember that this is still a rumor.

via an anonymous source in Faeit 212
It will come in 2 versions:

First - 215 points
One - assault transport with TL hell frost cannon
Two fire modes:
- s6 ap3, blast, then it forces a Str test. If the test is failed, the enemy dies
- s8 ap1 , heavy 1 - rest is the same
16 models capacity
Heavy Bolters with MMelta or Skyhammer Option

Second: 220 points
6 models capacity
Hell frost cannon (the same as above)
Storm Strike missile

Both flyers have Machine Spirit and Ceramite plating.

The model will cost as much as a storm raven.

Yeah I'm calling BS.

**Jefffar**

Yeah, I think some wires are severely crossed on that one even if it is based on something true.

That said, I do fully expect a 'Stormwolf' or 'Wolftalon' in there somehow.

I hope this isn't true. I don't care if their points get changed to more closely match Codex Marines as long as they get to keep the Bolter/BP/CCW combo.

You and me both. But after my Tyranid and Ork armies got updated...

**haroon**

hell frost cannon lol? That guys not even trying to come up with a believable name.

**Thorgrim Bloodcrow**

I guess I'm the only one that actually likes the sound of the name "Hell Frost Cannon"? At least he didn't call it the Wolf Cannon or Fang Cannon or Tail Cannon or *Normal Space Wolves Adjective* Cannon.

**Bulldogging**

It sounds fine to me. It's just a nickname the marines give it.

**Kal-El**

But wolves can't fly!! Anyways the "gap" could mean anti-air because wolves do not have this as of yet either. My hopes is for a cool flyer...not that dark angel weird flyer thing that was fail.

**BlaxicanX**

Space Wolves getting a Flyer would be so mind-numbingly disappointing to me. Just give them the damn Stormraven/Talon and call it a day, on that end.

If they had to get some big dumb new unit, I'd advocate a Monstrous Creature. Not a giant wolf, but maybe something that they capture on Fenris and then harness for warfare, like a giant kraken-esque thing, or something.

Given the other Marine books have Marines inside other types of armour, the wolves will get a wolf riding a wolf.

Nonsense, thats not thinking outside of the box.
What they need is a wolf in Dreadknight style armor, being ridden by a Centurion

Or some sort of four legged "Wolfnaught", and when you link 5 of together you get Voltron.

It's very norse, which is cool. Although, I'd like it better if it was Helfrost Cannon. (One L)

while I don't think wolves necessarily deserve their own flyer, I hope they get one because I fething hate the Stormraven/talon.

**Ferrum_Sanguinis**

Natfka's doubling down on the flier rumor and saying it's true (read the comments section)

**Kirasu**

Lets not make fun of people for creating dumb names.. GW is MORE than capable of matching if not exceeding childish names for SW stuff.

After all, they do quote Leman Russ as saying He will return during the WOLFTIME. Which is quite possibly the STUPIDEST quote by any primarch in the history of 40k.

Maybe they can actually make a new Space Marine flyer that actually looks good as currently IMO only the FW ones look cool.....but I doubt it

**Jefffar**

Hell Frost is a great name for a SW weapon, other than it lacks any reference to wolves.

Why so if I may ask? I think this is a reference to the Völuspá. You know "Axe-time, sword-time, | shields are sundered, Wind-time, wolf-time, | ere the world fall".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V%C3%B6lusp%C3%A1

I think that suits Leman Russ quite good.

**Thorgrim Bloodcrow**

I only just realized how perilously close, if it is in fact true, the Hell Frost Cannon could have been called the Bifrost Cannon.

Dear god, think of all the rainbow jokes that might have happened
