CREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!

CREEEEEED!

It's almost like space wolves were designed for drop pods. The short range, the extra special weapons, the hth abilities, counter charge. Looks like wolves love the droppod.

Thats probably why they put a drop pod in the battleforce?

Space Wolves have ALWAYS been built for Drop Pods. In Fact IIRC Space Wolves were the first to have the Drop Pod Assault Rules in 3rd.

it was a part of the vanilla marine codex in 3rd edition (which was released first in that edition). if you only took power armor marines, terminators, and dreads (also bikes per RAW IIRC but i believe it was later faq'ed) you could deep strike with imaginary drop pods (no models required or were even available at the time).

I HEAR THAT THERE IS NO MORE EXTERMINATOR!!!!

I hear that the rule with exclamation points is "One, or none."

I have also heard that the wolves can no longer take the tanks named for their primarch. Sort of wierd, really.

I've heard that instead of being able to field 13th Company Wulfen, we are instead supposed to field power armored marines riding on wolves?

What?

And then the Pan Fo were Reviled and all bowed before them PMSL.

On topic...

Why do I think that this army was made to combat the Ork???

Well, that (maybe) and sell lots of models.

Though I really can't see them moving too many of the Marines on Wolves...

Neither do I. Although if I've read correctly, you can take packs of Fenris wolves... I've always wanted to have a skirmish line of wolves racing ahead of my Rhinos.

mmmm from the sounds of things I'm actually quite liking the sound of the new codex now, most things being 24" or so sticks to the close quarters theme and makes Long Fangs a viable option...

Might stick to my previous - 1500pts - codex list of: Wolf Lord, Ven. Dread with MM(in drop pod), 28 Grey Hunters (10 in drop pod), 10 Blood Claws
and 3 Vindicators, still short range and with cheaper troops may be able to get some more goodies in... Happy Days! and I dont need to buy the Space Marine codex too! Doubley Happy Days!

Right... time for some more grey paint methinks...

and if you dont mind me asking, how did you guys manage 2 get a look at the new codex?

Some stores get their Advance Store Copies Earlier than others.

cool, cheers, although I sincerely doubt mine does... I'll just sit in the store reading it 4 several hours wen it comes out

Someone please tell us how many power fists/swords Blood Claws will be able to take.

I think me means 1 per model. Yes, that must be it.

-Rocks Slowly-

At least can we take Wolf Guard Leaders to put another PF on?

this makes me butthurt.

but having a dreadnought that is more survivable than an land raider seems like a fair trade.
and 18 point jump troopers
and 15 point grey hunters
and 15 point long fangs
and having Runepriests that actually do something (I have 4 runepriest models, havnt wanted to use them untill now!)

its ok Gwar, we will make up for it with AWESOME (read: Bjorn, Njal, and Lukas)

I think it will be fun when Space Wolves can make better terminator armies than Dark Angels and get better psychic powers than Thousand Sons. Cause that's fluffy.

Yeah, cause Space Wolves have Fearless Terminators that all Deep Strike and Lash of Submission.

Thousand sons don't get lash of submission.

Can't you put mark of the wulfen on the fist guy?

Nope, Mark of the Wulfen can't be used with any special weapons. I'm already converting 4 new models that will be "blade masters" for my army of robed close assault marines.

... so
Logan Grimnar > allow Wolf Guard as Troops.
Wolf Guard + JP +outflank + infiltrate + scoring
+ Skyclaws
+ drop pod assault rules
+ rending on Grey Hunter 1 model.

... are Space Wolves > Blood Angels ?

When have they ever been worse?

I play DA [1 year] , Space Wolves [20 Years]
My only complaint
I just finished Making a Deathwing; AND NOW I NEED MORE TERMIES!!!

...if you'll excuse me I need to go and weep in shame, where no one shall see me, and then start working on my new Space Wolves army.

I hope not. I'm hoping its more like the Warboss makes one unit of Nobs troops, otherwise GW just killed what little shread of uniquness the DA had.

Logan Grimnar allows you to field an entire Terminator army.

Thank the maker. I'm getting tired of using DA rules for my SW terminator army. It just made me feel so ..... dirty (and not in a good way, but more like a ewwwww gross/creepy way).

take care
