Dreads with Helfrost cannons?

Sign me up! I am gonna go grab 3 Dreads, Get my that new Bjorn and make a Helfrost army!

Things I want for Bjorn:

1. Take a drop pod dammit

2. Some other kind of special rule that makes it harder to kill him, other then a invulnerable save for vehicles that REALLY sets him appart from vens.

3. Another special rule that has to do with after the game bas begun combat.

4. Higher armor. He needs to be a 14/14/12 to show how awesome he is. He fought with Russ for crying out loud. He is so special that he only wakes up once a 1000 years to tel stories or if something REALLY goes wrong.



I also want to see a new tank. Like, maybe let us take that new Guard tank that has those half tracks or something cool like that.

agreed, murderfang is a horrible name. I hope its just a spacewolf that became a wulfen inside a dreadnaught.

Did what I could to splice the images, it certainly looks like something boat like being pulled by wolves...

That was my thought as well or some crazy Blood Claw and that was his nickname but his real name was lost in the records or something.

The Wulfen thing would be the coolest though.

The wolves are absolutely pulling something. And Little Bird was right last week. He will be right again here. While I don't like the idea of a chariot, that is apparently what we are getting. I'd rather have a clampack Wolf Priest or clampack Rune Priest or a resculpt of Ragnar or Ulrik. But we'll be getting Logan and this vehicle, so I just hope they are good.

It's not too hard to imagine that 20 years from now, kids playing 40K will look at things like Bjorna Claus on his sleigh and the flying wolf's head the same way we look at zoats and biker space dwarves on trikes now. The difference will be that back then, the designers didn't know better and now they do, they just don't really care

Well, this pic do make it look like we will indeed get a gakky grav chariot pulled by wolves. The only redeeming quality about this, is that it wont be available for regular hq, and since I pretty much ignore special character, i wont get to see this crap disgrace my gaming tables. Hopefully it's not a plastic kit, so we still get another or two of them in this release.

Good God, I hope that GW's pulling our leg... I guess we'll have to see the model itself, but still... this sounds ridiculous. And that'd mean that the other rumours in that set are all true too.

I'll agree that a dreadnaught with an advancing leg pose would be nice, but then a stable firing platform is both feet planted.

The great stonking claw on his other arm doesn't need a stable firing platform.

Plus having a model of that size balancing on one leg can be rather precarious.

I have a plastic dreadnought converted into a running pose, done back when the plastic dreadnought was first released. It's survived ok so far.

And having some motion in the legs doesn't have to mean running.

Duh, I forgot they're plastic now... I still use metal dread's. I have'nt finished any of the plastics yet. I did however go dig out my new Furioso... (snickers gleefully....)

Ok, so yes agreed.

Assuming the Logan picture fits in to that, I'm going to guess that the animal head in the bottom left of Logan's picture is the dragon/wolf head on the bow of the dragon boat and the small bit of claw you can see just above the guy shooting the bolt pistol is part of Logan's wolf cape.

Posting the pic in a sec, I modified the images

forgot to raise the image on the left, oh well. Banner from sled on upper right image, images were distorted to hie the sled, tried my best to make it fit.

It looks like a raven wing jetbik meets santaclause.... How did this get past the design studio?

EDIT

I give you the space wolves codex cover

HAHAHAHAHA!!!! Good one!!

I doubt it is the cover given the recent trend since 6th edition of single charcter embossed images on the covers. It might however be a full page interior piece of artwork.

Hm I like Bjorn but at the same time I don't, it is a great model but I think I'll try and combine it with a ven dread. Would have been great if they had made him in Contemptor armor since then we would have a plastic contemptor :(

Guess I'll be the dissenter the Flying Wolf Chariot of Doom sounds awesome. As does Murderfang.

Not liking the rumoured rules much, but what else is new - bloody random warlord traits replacing sagas, all the wolf guard changes, not to mention the lack of the new AA tanks and fliers!

And, yes, whoever decided Murderfang was a good name for something needs to be dismissed from the naming committee as soon as possible. Might've made more sense if it was a pattern name, I guess, eg "Murderfang Dreadnought".

Hey, I almost called this chariot thing back on page 9

Anyway, those pics from the teaser dont look like thunderwolfes, far to small and realistic. Looks more like regular fenrisian wolfes bought as companions for a HQ.
Dog sled is a thing in polar regions though...

You never know long fangs might get flakk missiles. This would be really good with their split fire rule so you may not need that AA tank. It looks like either of the new fliers is fine AA btw.

I'll guess Murderfang turns out to be a Fenrisian wolf stuck in a dreadnaught, rather than a SM,

beloved pet of chapter master X when it heroically fell defending it's master from grey knights/orks/the monster under the bed he ordered the aritficers to preserve it in a sarcophagus not actuall believing it would survive, but it did so he had it build into a dreadnaught where it could continue to serve the Wolf Lords of the future

C'mon, guys - if there is a dreadnought that SHOULD be covered in bling and gaudy, it's Bjorn - the oldest living Space Marine. When the mark of service to the Emperor is a carpet tack in your forehead for a mere hundred years, and Bjorn has served over 10,000...damn right he should have gold wolves and stuff everywhere.

I'm not into SW but I like the model.

I agree. Looks like a natural progression of the original Bjorn model, and it makes perfect sense to release a new one - presumably in plastic - to replace what must be one of the oldest if not the oldest model in GW's range.

"Murderfang" -_-

Yeah. I'm of the opinion that if the name of your unit could double as the name of a death metal band or, worse, sounds like something out of Metalocalypse, then it's probably a bad name for a 40K unit.

If I played any other army than what I do, I'd be excited for the prospect of a Venerable Dreadnought with a Storm Shield (and hey, a Dreadnought with a 3++ might actually be worth fielding, depending on price!), but as a Black Templars player all I can think is "sigh, that's another item we've had on the wish list for Emperor knows how long that someone else got to first".

William Murderfang Murderfang Murderfang.

I want wolf guard and grey hunters to be able to take the new flying ship as dedicated transports. So I can use like 12 of these and have my entire army come in off on reserves.

12? With their point costs your army will be smaller than a drop pod one!

P.s. - any news on the Grey Hunters? Do they retain their chainsword in spite of Stormclaw's entry showing them without a melee weapon(unless bought)?

The most recent leak has them at 14 PPM+2(for CCW) more for the old loadout.

"Grey Hunters Pack
14 points per model with a Bolter and Bolt Pistol
Any model may add a Close Combat Weapon for +2 points
One Special weapon per full five models still, but costs raised to same as C:SMs
Wolf Guard Upgrade available
May take a Stormwolf as a Dedicated Transport
No other information"

Rumour is it will be a +2 pts to purchase one. Making them either 16 or 17 points each.

I actually quite like the idea of this grav-chariot thing. Hey, if we're going to have to endure a "ermagerd yolo awesumz" big kit, this is, like the flier, probably the least-worst option - at least it isn't a werewolf with wolf claws riding a giant thunderwolf.

Plus, I would not say no to a new plastic Logan Grimnar, as long as they don't try and be gits and pose him so he can't be used on a regular base.

That would honestly be pretty badass and Murderfang being the name of a wolf would certainly go down better than it being the name of a person.

i guess i'll wait until we actually see this "chariot" but the premise sounds silly. But if High elves can do it, i suppose SW can too!
