Subject: New 7th Ed Sanctus Reach Campaign boxset - Stormclaw - new pics page 9
You heard that right, a 7th edition box set is coming for pre-orders, and has been seen in White Dwarf issue 24. That gives us pre-orders starting this coming weekend!
So who is it?......... Space Wolves vs Orks. Literally confirming that Space Wolves will be our next 40k codex. Looks like we will be getting our 7th edition mini dexes very soon. It makes sense with Dark Vengeance going away.
please remember that these are still rumors from someone that has seen the white dwarf for next week. Until we get more official information or videos on Monday these must remain as rumors.

White Dwarf issue 24 has a Space Wolves vs Orks box set in it.
The cover has Space Wolves on it, and the exact quotations are Space Wolves vs Orks Boxed Set: Stormclaw.

Alaric Prime is a planet sundered by war as the Orkish Hordes assail the last bastion of resistance, Sacred Mountain. Imperial Knights and Cadians regiments are all but defeated. Face Rippas death was exaggerated, Krom Dragongaze, a new special character for Space Wolves is set for epic clash as the second installment of Sanctus Reach continues.
Images hold 5 terminators, 1 special character-Krom Dragongaze, 5 Blood Claws, and 5 Grey Hunters.
10 gretchin, 1 special character-Grukk Face Rippa 3 Killa Kans, Ork Boyz

In the Space Wolves picture it says on the bottom that the box indeed contains a small rulebook as well as a campaign supplement.

From Fulop78 on Dakkadakka.
I'm not sure if it's been posted already
box content:
1 x Ork force made-up of 5 Ork Nobz; 10 Ork Gretchin; one Runtherd; and 3 Killa Kans
1 x Space Wolf force made-up of 5 Wolf Guard Terminators; 5 Grey Hunters; and 5 Blood Claws
2 x brand new plastic characters - Ork Warboss Grukk Face-rippa and Wolf Lord Krom Dragongaze
1 x 32 page campaign booklet which includes datasheets and narrative missions
1 x 208 page small format softback version of the Warhammer 40,000: The Rules
for a price just a little shy of 100 euro
Oh and it's while stocks last.
Updated title to reflect the fact that this is a campaign box, not a starter.

for gods sake, can we PLEASE have new ork buggy models in this set. Is there an older one still in use? yes I know kit bashing, but I would like some new orkey driver models, and kit bashing with a newer updated set to start off with would be preferable anyway.

Not only is it anonymous, it contradicts info from a monger with a (near?) perfect track record.
I always like to see new stuff, even when, as in this case, it is not relevant to me in the least (although getting a bit sick of Ork releases now if I'm honest) but I'm the living embodiment of skeptical wrt this.

wasnt it also an anonymous faiet source that said the starter set was BA vs Orks?
Maybe its blood angels vs space wolves with a Ork peace envoy trying to settle the dispute. Their might even be a way of winning without fighting the battle. Of course you'll have to buy the new kit to win, its a model of an Ork in a lawyer suit that looks like their lawyer from the chapterhouse case. You'll be suing for peace....or a piece of the profit.

Blindfolded dart-throwing.
SW vs Orks would have me actually buying a starter though.

Didn't White Dwarf pretty much day DV would be back with an updated booklet? My memory's not great on that so someone feel free to correct me.

If this happens, I will buy a set. I was going to get a Wolf Battleforce at some point to paint up as a small Wolf detachment (mainly to justify the set of metal Wulfen I have) but a starter with Orks would be awesome.
Given the source, I doubt it is true, but I would love to see this happen. And it would not prevent GW from putting out Black Reach with the updated booklet, it would allow for 2 different starters with 4 different armies in them, which people have clammored for.

Wow, there's a White Dwarf coming out next week! And it's got an article by Jervis in it! WOW! That's literally all this tells us.
Not being funny, if you're able to take a photo that clear of that specific part of the cover, you can take a pic of the whole thing!
On topic, I would be mildly annoyed if SW were in the Starter Set. A) It heralds a new SW codex, and with that will come an inevitable halving of the Grey Hunter box, and B) because some cheap, plastic and chapter-specific Blood Angels would have got the boys in red off the shelf and back onto the workbench.

Yeah, but who doesn't have 60 grey hunters already? Plus the starter would give cheap GH most likely anyways.

I only have 30
The real loss would be that, to my mind, the SW pack is the best value MEQ kit on the market; for less than 1 (nice, but boring-ish) Tactical Squad, you get the full 10 guys, a plethora of options, more wolfy extras than you can shake a wolf- sorry, a stick- at, and it will be a shame that this will inevitably go to 5 man for the same price as Death Company or GK when they get updated and reboxed.
Snap-Fit GH will be nice, but they won't come near offsetting the sheer value, variety and usefulness of the Space Wolf Pack box.

If you can keep your head, while all about you are losing their's, then you have probably completely misunderstood the situation!

Not moaning, just suggesting that it would be a bad thing that, given their previous business moves, is likely to occur. I'm not saying it will, and will be very pleased if it doesn't, but look at the pertinient facts:
The Dire Avengers were a 2-identical-sprue kit of Troops that was reboxed into a 5-man squad at only a marginally lower price.
Other variant SM Chapters have chapter-specific 5 man boxes rather than 10. BA have the Death Company, DA have the Veteran sprue and Grey Knights have the 5-man PAGK box.
Following those trends, and when you consider that the SW box is A) a 10-man set with 2 identical sprues and therefore easily halvable and B) GW have taken the idea that anything in Power Armour that isn't a Tactical Squad (or the Chaos equivalent) comes in 5-man boxes, it seems likely.
Again, I'm not complaining about it as it hasn't happened yet, but I imagine it will, and when it does, I will be disappointed.

Could be interesting. For me to buy a Space Wolves vs. Orks starter set, a lot would be dependent on the contents. I already have the Orks from 5 sets of Black Reach, and I'm slowly replacing them with Kromlech Orks, anyway. Don't have a Space Wolves army, but could be tempted into it if the right goodies are in the box. If there are, say, Ork buggies and/or big gunz in it, as well as some nifty Space Wolves stuff, I could see myself buying into it. Otherwise, no.
Strangely enough, I always like Space Wolves fluff, but was never really interested in playing the actual army. I think a good Blood Angels vs. Orks starter would have interested me more, but, again, also dependent on the contents.
Regardless, we'll know soon enough when the WD hits.

I call bs on this one. Would be great considering I just started my first every imperial army and its space wolves and I doubt I would have the luck to have both army's I have or am building in one box. It said nothing on that PIC of WD about any new starter set not even the supposed name of the box.
Just hope the space wolves release when it does come isn't as much a shambles as the work one

Even if it was a starter, I'm not sure that the quote from WD really dispels anything. GW would only ever reference current product even a replacement was a day away from being previewed.
