I found these interesting tidbits on the Space Wolves forum posted by Renshijim after GD Baltimore.
Space wolves, ok no one wanted to speak on anything of the wolf codex but I did manage to speak to the folly twins that are working the new models and they say that the wolves are getting more models and attention the the other chapters did. (I.e. black templars, blood angels, and dark angels) also the one thing I did find out from just about everyone is that the special characters of the wolves are close combat killers, so far the playtesters said that getting into close combat with a wolf character meant you will lose. sounds interesting to me and I hope that the rest of the army are just as deadly in close combat.

Of course, in 5th edition, this isn't all that it is cracked up to be!
They will basically auto-win CC, and then auto get shot to death next turn...
Unless, of course, they have a new special rule that, say, allows them to consolidate into combat?

That is what tactics are for  ...instead of sending an overkill SW squad, just send like one blood claw per 5 enemy terminators so that the enemy can just barely hold out for the initial assault  .

2d6 consolidation? Or may consolidate into an enemy model (or at least ignore the 1" rule).

Something like that sounds workable, sure.
Of course, GW might not think that far ahead, forget all the annoying details about 5th and not take it into account at all.
Anything's possible!

I can only assume the Folly Twins means the Perry Twins. Who, unless they were blatantly lying, are almost exclusively sculpting LOTR. One of the brothers stated he had NEVER sculpted a Space Marine, while the other had only sculpted a few. Just a data point to judge the remainder of the rumors.

I don't know where you get your info from, but both Perrys have worked on Space Marines since the Rogue Trader era. We have them to thank for the original Calgar no less: http://www.solegends.com/citrt/rt105lordmacragge.htm They just have been more focused on IG related minis for 40k before they went to work on LotR. They also designed both of the new IG Command Squads, so they are not that "exclusively" LotR, at least not anymore.

At the moment, any of the SW HQ guys can have 6 power weapon attacks on the charge, 7 attacks on the counter charge. Hitting on 3+ at S5 at I5. That seems pretty damn beefy already even without looking at the other 10 guys that they are joined to. So yeah, having their character models clean house in HTH will be just par for the course.
Before the new chaos codex came out I played with a character heavy low model count Emperor's Children list. Now that list doesn't work anymore, so I'm really looking forward to what the new Wolves can do. Especially since SW are the only marine chapter I'd ever consider playing.

Well, I got it directly from their mouths when they were asked about models they had worked on during the Q&A at Games Day. So my info comes from Alan and Michael Perry. Does that work?

I'm coming into this thread a bit late but wtf, right? I could not be happier about the SW not getting TH/SS as lightning claws make sooo much more sense to spess wulf mentality imo. Couple that with the squad of assault terminators that always swing 1st on a sucessful psychic check being gone from 40k forever and I'm happy. The TH/SS swing 1st guys should have been an apoc datasheet for + 200pts anyways IMO.

Unless they were being sarcastic, they either have amnesia or old age is setting in then. Admittedly, they may feel they are "exclusively" LotR even though they do a few non- LotR every few months.

I found this posted on the B&C by VonMerrick.
I was talking to someone with the company at Games Day and the fact that the wolves were my first army came up. I asked about the future of the Leman Russ tank in the army list and he hesitated, and asked if I would be really mad if they took it out. When I hesitated a bit, thinking it over, he countered with "What if they got a unique predator variant to compensate for the loss of the Russ?".
Between new Wolf art being done, the blurb in the White Dwarf, and my friend from Games Day, it's really appearing obvious that the wolves are on their way. No its just a question of will i get my Iron Warriors done before the release ( I am so slow anymore, and agonize over every detail..that i mess up!)
One more confirmation that the LRE is going away.

CC will never kill shooting. You always have a turn to blast them to hell after they've swept 1 squad (maybe 2 if they sucked another in). I swear, if they give them consolidation into CC I'm gonna be pissed. Chaos deserves it a thousand times more than marienzzz.
