I'm hoping SW will indeed have extra-super-duper stats and cost appropriately more points to match - we need a genuinely unique chapter, not just pale grey marines with wolf icons on them.

I second that, I want the concept of space vikingr to be reflected on the rules

I third that!

Yes, lets all hope our armies become stupidly OP and make other people nerdrage over how awesome we are.

fix'd

Let's all watch Super Troopers and settle down here.

I never mind playing against Woofies, but it was usually more the players who played the army. They remind me of the upity SM crowd. Here anyway.

Put all the SM chapters in one Codex please.

Troll Much

Nope - I'll put it in my sig if it makes you feel better.

He's not trolling. He just doesn't like SMs having more than 1 Codex.

I'm hoping Bjorn will be available through extras on the plastic sprue (a'la master of the RW in land speeder) Because there is no way he'll be all metal (think of the cost) and hybrid kits are a pain (and something GW seems to be moving away from).

SW will get a boost, there will be drawbacks (most likely the points it will cost to field them!) and people will rage over another SM Codex coming out before an overdue Xenos update (and yes, they will have a leg to stand on).

However, the above poster is correct: coming in to the Space Wolf Rumors thread to complain about Space Wolves?

Not the right idea.

Not complaining about SW - general complaint for SM in general.

My original comment was about the players in my area.

The more OP the better. Just means when DA get re-released it will be awesome.

Are you certain GW is concerned with how much you'll be paying?

"Always being outnumbered" doesn't seem to fit the GW model of SELL MORE CRAP very well.

I'm hoping "extreme stats" is an exaggeration. If they are better stat-wise than a Grey Knight, that would be rather silly.

No, it's not trolling at all. It's constructive criticism. And actually, since the Space Wolf codex links off the Marine codex, you could argue that wolves have gotten two updates, the 4th and 5th edition marine codicies. I know all the wolf players around here are insanely happy with the mix and match they get out of both books.

On the contrary, it stands to reason why GW thinks it necessary to release another Marine Codex when there are other books that are in far greater need of some 5th edition love, like maybe Tau and Necrons, (who fared especially poor in the 5th ed redux) or even Dark Eldar.

(Of course we all know the real reason, because marines of any flavor sell better.)

So...Demogerg, it is you that are trolling.

Hey whitedragon - that Avatar of yours, what is that?











That's trolling.

lol, are those the new Dark Eldar models!?

/sarcasm off

Maybe they're new SW characters. The Valk's! Just need wings.

Seriously though. I'm all for updating all codex before releasing yet another edition.

I hope Bjorn is AV 14. DA got Sammael and his 14 Speeder.

BT already have AV !4 transports. It's not like they're going to let you take multiple versions of Bjorn.

Back to this? Seriously? Every xenos race except DE has gotten a release since SW. Tau and Tyranids are less than 5 years old.

And whining about Sm getting crunched into a single book became irrelevant over a year ago when they announced the 5th edition SM Codex contents. Since SW aren't in that book, and I've waited 9.5 years, how's about my army gets a release.

I hope GW makes a billion dollars on Woofs, cashes out selling the game to Hasbro, and that your xenos army gets released in pog form only next year.

If anyone feels the need to whine or troll, make it informed, or at the very least relevant.

Thanks.

So wait, you think I am trolling my own thread?

Demogerg, the GTFO comment is a bit much; we all know what it stands for. Please click on Rule #1 in my sig for a list of the Dakka rules.

Thank you.

Putting it in bold is overkill.

Removed.

The rumors sound good!

and +1 to what Dienekes said!!!

I've come to terms with Wolves getting their codex. I just wish GW would hurry the feth up with it already. I'm happy for all the giddy SW players and all, but I personally don't care to hear about more SMs. Xeno codices are much more interesting to me and I'm excited to see what's next. Hopefully we'll get 2 or 3 xeno codices in a row to make up for the consecutive imperial releases.

I really do hope SW players are generally satisfied with all their exciting changes. I'm excited to play against them too. Having lots of Dark Lances becomes more effective when fighting a smaller army!

See, that's the spirit. Lemonade from lemons and all that.

I might pick up wolves if they are another low model count army.. The vehicle spam that is the meta right now cost lots of moolah.

I doubt GW will give SW expensive transports. They will mech up like every other army if they want to be competative. If tournaments are not your thing, then yes SW probably can be made on the cheap (compared to other not mech armies). Do we have any idea how much the new boxes will cost?

Are the Space Wolves expected to get the Ironclad Dreadnought as well?

And the Assault Cannon option for the Razorback?

(not sure if that is standard for every marine codex)
