You've all been very naughty!

He'll counter your mistletoe with a TOW missile!

That chariot is fething disgusting. What the hell were they thinking?! Grimnar looks decent, but seriously what the

I like the new Grimnar on foot. Though it's awfully quick to get a new sculpt. He just came out in 5th and poor Ragnar is languishing away with his 2nd sculpt.

Oh you beautiful bastard...

I havent been around for long... but wasnt it discussed earlier that Logan's sculpt is a 'tad' older than that? like 2 editions prior to that?

I wouldnt know to be honest. I play Sisters of battle

Let's not go there again...

Ughhh so stupid my Viking Half-Werewolf Super Space Men Warriors clad in Rune covered powered armor were completely serious and grim dark now this stupid Viking sleigh has ruined them. Typical GW anyone who likes these obviously enjoy childish things like diapers because only an infant could enjoy such an obvious pandering to a child base.

I'll stick to my other armies of Fungiod Techno-Barbarians and Vampire Angel Cursed Berzerker Super Warriors, like an adult.


......./s/ obviously

Looks great if rumors are true I'm totally making a chariot riding 6hq army.... Hmmmm maybe do Egypt Themed Jackal guys for a chariot army or something. My only complaint is now I'll need to eBay an old Grimnar just to have it since I've never bothered getting one before.

I'm always amazed that he is able to produce a decently painted GW model using the cheap nylon GW brushes. Personally I find greater control in dipping my thumb in paint and smearing it over the model. I wouldn't be surprised if each time they cut he swapped out for a Rosemary & Co or a Windsor & Newton.

GW brushes are Kolinsky sable. They are also not bad. Not the best by any means, but they are not bad, as long as you get ones that haven't been abused in the shop and don't mind them not lasting that long.

WHY ON EARTH ARE THE DIGITAL EDITIONS OF THE BOOKS MORE EXPENSIVE THAN THE REGULAR???!!!

Mind=blown. That is ridiculous.

The iBook versions have allot of extra stuff in. They ebook versions are not more expensive. They are normally cheaper.

Personally I think over all this is a good release. The flyer and the Ven Dred are both nice. The chariot is a nice model taken on its own IMO. Totally out of place, but then so are people in hand to hand combat. I think it's a nice mini, just too silly.

Dont you mean a PAW missile

When they said they were "innovators" I did not know this is what they were talking about

I want to see the sleigh looted by one of the freebooter orks with a pirate hat. Add side cannons and being pulled by squigs dressed as parrots.

Haha that's the greatests. I would have never thought of that. You have more imagination than all of GW.

That chariot is just about the worst thing I've seen in awhile. It's a veritable cornucopia of fail.

Rather than separating customers from their wallets they seem to be innovating new ways to separate us from our previous meal.

That was the final straw. I'm switching to Warmahordes. There, I can get a more serious looking model like a chaos infused Elf riding a sleigh pulled by demonic looking reindeer....

Logan is over the top. But, if the rules a good, be prepared to be bombarded with hover chariots in the near future.

'... oh what fun it is to ride in a two-wolf open sleigh... hey!'


Yikes...

That chariot pleases me greatly.

All of a sudden I want them to leave my precio0us Blood Angels alone indefinitely....



Like so many others I do not know what they were thinking with this grav-dinghy. Why does it need to be pulled by wolves if it has the grav tech? Logan looks fine, if less dyamic than his previous sculpt, but seriously, what is this?


Also, congrats to Space Wolves players on having the only in production plastic dread multimelta.

It's not so much that one of these concepts is better or worse than the other, it's about the model fitting in the supposed tone the universe in question is trying to set.

I thought the use of thunder wolves were a dark secret of the SW they officially denied ever to include in their ranks.
Now Grimnar himself has them pulling his chariot?

Or did I read to much in to the fluff?

Anyway, Logan looks great.
Chariot I could get used to because this months releases obviously take SW over the top anyway.

Also you can fit Bjorn's fist hand with standard claws so you can have a clawed powerfist, as well like the FW hand (see below)

In a universe filled with the souls of elves giving life to automatons, halflings with sniper rifles and orks who shoot goblins through wormholes, a hover chariot is not fitting in the supposed tone? Fair enough. To each their own

Wow having been a long time space wolves fan I'm not a big fan of this release, the dreadnaught is good for sure !

But that chariot... Seriously ? Yeah they were never a serious sort of army but I really don't like the look and idea of that. Wasn't to kwwn on the flier as well :\ I'm a sad space pup !

That's a kind of reductive way of looking at it. Orks have always had an inbuilt comedy value, so shooting Grots through wormholes works for them. Given the nature of Space Marines, their overarching aesthetic and fluff, a hover chariot definitely does not fit.

Here comes logan, riding in the shortbus longship.

The wolves are like Logan's bike-lock. If he ever parks up and leaves his grav-boat outside the local shops or tavern when he quickly nips in, then anyone trying to mess with his ride gets their arm torn off.

Before 'Ere We Go and Freebootaz, Orks did not have inbuilt comedy value. Granted, those two books did come out in the later era of Rogue Trader, but I understand the idea you are conveying.

I think some folks have an interpretation of what 40K is and the chariot does not fit into that. I find that line of thought a bit funny based on what I previously laid out.

Again. To each their own. I'll gladly plunk down my model holding the souls of twin space elves piloting a giant automaton against a futuristic Viking riding a hover longboat.

Please don't get too caught up in the ridiculousness of it all. Remember, this is still, at its core, the fever dreams of a bunch of 15 year olds doodling on the back of their notebooks while listening to heavy metal. They've given it a gritty reboot, professional authors, and way more legitimacy than any 80s RPG should ever have; but this is still a game about space orcs and space elves fighting in skull covered tanks, on skull covered planets, in a skull covered galaxy.

Just let the screaming guitar riffs wash over you as you absorb the awesome that is the shortbus longship wolfcart

This is so enraging, somewhere in the Fang lies the other half of a bathtub no one can use anymore!
I guess he did it because his wolves hated bathing days anyways.

I think I must be the minority then but I think the chariot is great! Sums up the total madness that is Warhammer for me, in the best possible way!

I'd remove the wolves and have a Dark Eldar style hover skiff, use the creatures for something else.

If that's the case, wouldn't that be like wearing your mess dress to combat? Like if he's gotta make an entrance to a planet and let the ruler in charge know who's boss, you wheel out the TugBarge. Otherwise, why in combat? All I see is him flying high and having two angry wolves dangling and being generally frustrated about the situation.

Three words. Mordian Iron Guard.

I dont even play wolves and I kinda cringe at it. I mean the necron one kinda makes sense but this one... I mean.. yeah...
On the other hand 40k has always been over the top, so at least they're sticking to their guns.
