They don't have a symbol yet according to the BRB.
Which indicates that all future DT's can probably be taken as a stand-alone.
Or they will introduce some other way to classify them.

Perhaps not even have a symbol at all?

Silly question, but I cant see it on the GW site. Is there space wolves data/pyschic cards like there was for orks?

Edit: derp. its the one image with a 'sold out' in all different languages. Didnt think they'd change the image for it..

Yes. Should be in stores.

This is what makes me think you can't take them as a choice - it has to come as a transport option, not a stand alone option..

Any vehicle with a transport capacity is a transport, not just those bought as dedicated transports.

All dedicated transports are transports. Not all transports are dedicated transports.

Ok... Are we done with Space Wolves now? Please dear God let this be it! Next army please!

Lucky gits get all sorts of goodies, went to my local shop, nothing but SW's... Very nice kits, very happy for you flea ridden, long in the tooth, hairy blokes...

Well, very soon we'll be done with the thread.

The sheer amount of mistakes on that page is mind blowing.

For example...

Harald Deathwolf is a Wolf Lord on a TW... He has four wounds in his page of rules.

So just a quick heads up for anyone thinking of adopting the Frost Sword & Storm Shield combo for Thunderwolf Cavalry, both of the swords (the Runic Sword in the Space Wolves Pack, the Power Sword in the Wolf Guard Terminators) are left handed, and all of the arms used to hold onto the Thunderwolves (and mount Storm Shields) in the Thunderwolf Cavalry box are also left handed.

I'm sure a lot of you are more creative than me, but I'll be using the one handed Nemesis Force Sword from the Grey Knights Squad box; if the blades happen to be the same size I will convert the Runic Sword blade onto the Nemesis Force Sword, but those things are pretty anyway and this allows me to 'reserve' the Runic Sword for Rune Priests anyway!

If you're not going down a Storm Shield route then you can use the Runic Sword arm from the Space Wolves Pack on the left, and a Bolt Pistol in the right, or whatever you fancy. It's just this one combination has put my new Thunderwolves on hold until the bits arrive! When finished it'll take me up to 8 TWC, (one of the nine was used for a WC & PF Wolf Lord), although his old sheer cost prevented him from being fielded often. Now that Canis and Harald perform similar functions and allow Outflank with TWC I doubt we'll be seeing much of the old boy!

Yeah I'm seeing the odd formatting error crop up, Frag Missile under the listing for Typhoon Missile Launcher is a prime example from that page.

Do GW normally fix these for reprints? Wonder how many will go through circulation until they fix it! I haven't picked mine up yet, might hold off, (OCD).

So Mark of The Wulfen is gone?

Frost Swords can be Chainswords, and in fact the image for a Frost Blade in the 5e codex is a chainsword(Page 59 of your 5e codex), they even have pattern designations for them. The TWC box comes with right handed Chainswords that are also pretty good looking. Just paint them up nicely and you're both good to go and fluffy(pun not intended)

Looks like we traded MotW for 1 free lone wolf per GH, BC, and WG troop choice...


Yes I am angry that MotW is gone

Any info on the supplement?

Motw is what made lone wolves so good :(

Regarding embarking, in the ebook version its on page 282/340 in the section called "combining reserve units"

Basically it says reserves can embark in any transport held in reserve and roll together.

Yeah, so it doesn't preclude a unit from embarking on any transport. The only thing stopping you is if that transport is a dedicated transport, as the rules for dedicated transport explicitly say it can only be deployed carrying the troops for which it was selected.

Previously codices had a "dedicated transports" section, which stopped you buying them separately. But both the Ork and apparently now the SW codex no longer have dedicated transport sections, they've lumped the transports in to other slots, so you can buy them separately and just treat them as regular transports rather than dedicated transports OR you can still buy them as dedicated transports like you have previously.

There is already precedence for this, the Ork Battlewagon is a Heavy Support, no one argues that you can't buy a Battlewagon as a Heavy Support. But it's also a dedicated transport for Nobz, so if you buy one as a dedicated transport for a Nob unit in which case it no longer takes up a Heavy Support slot... but then only unit that can deploy in it then are the Nobz themselves. Another example is Terminators who can take a Land Raider as a dedicated transport, which would have otherwise been a Heavy Support.

Be glad GW didn't have this system when the Eldar Codex came out... you'd be able to buy Wave Serpents without having to buy anything to go inside them

Really? I thought EW and FNP and such made them good. I generally took SS/CF/TDA.

No more power weapon/SS combo on any terminators makes me sad. Have to rip apart some of my models now.

This drop pod thing (and getting dedicated transports as a separate unit), is it because GW get a headache when they try to fit DT in unbound armies?

Just reprint your power weaps as frost swords/axes

You can have WC, combi or TH with SS.

I thought you could have frost too?
Edit: does this mean all my SS, power/frost weap TDA pack leaders are going to have to get deconstructed?

A model wearing TDA, can replace his SB with:
Combi- 5
WC - 15
TH - 25

a model wearing TDA can replace his PW with:
SS - free
Frost A- 5
Frost Sw -5
WC - 10
PF - 10
CF - 15
TH - 15
WG can also get dual WC or TH/SS for 15 by swapping both.

I think im in denial because i dont want to spend more money on something GW is more than willing to let me take advantage of in the short term and then FAQ to say i cant after they have my $$$.

Yeah. there goes the viking like shield wall with swords and axes. Now its shields, hammers and claws. :(

Shame you can't replace the SB with a SS :(

Woot! my multi-tool termis are still good. Wolf Claw and Power Fist, good for what ever you run into.

Arent wolf claws now +1str? Are they still ap3 at ini 4?

And shred and specialist weapon.

The more i read the book the better it sounds. I know some folks are mad about the GH changes but i think this book has a lot going for it.

And GW figured out you can take a crappy model and give it a name and better rules and make it a decent option. I actually am considering Harald just because.

I thought 1000 lb marines riding wolves was slowed when they came out. Now im finding myself considering them...

Wut

All the rumors said combi's for WG TDA were the same as the last codex. Dagnabit

Whoops, they're 5.
