I quite like the head on the right . . . but the one on the left leaves something to be desired . . . which is a shame.

His face looks a little purple. Is his mouth open because he was holding his breath for a really long time?

Nah. Logan just didn't pay the Fangs' heating bill...

Ulrik the Slayer better not be nerfed.

I annihilate infantry with his almighty power sword and 4 wolf guard lightning claws.

Did everyone just see what Oshova did there???

**Uriels_Flame**

I'm still of the opinion all SM should be in one codex. What's the reasoning it's not? Fluff?

Oh, you're one of the "founding" chapters? You don't play well with others, hence we don't share new technology.

Geesh. I hope the Dark Angels blow up Mars.

Sorry, I blinked.

Damn.

Mr. Warhorse47 from B & C grabbed som3 snaps of the wolf models from a different angle.

linky

**Railguns**

I see. The one on the left isn't screaming. However, neither of them are bald.

**whitedragon**

Thank god they went back to the old style pack markings!

**Bikeninja**

Check out the chainsword that the blood claw is holding. It looks like the chainblade is visible all the way around. The bolt pistol also looks like it has new molding like the SW bolter that came on the old sprue. What would suck would be these being more conversions and not the actual pieces you can get off the new sprue. However I do not think that is the case. The saving for October is now officially under way. Let the shopping begin.

**Oshova**

Just stick 'em all in one book I say. But this would lead to a complicated and possibly annoying codex, if it was to keep the same level of individuality to each chapter. ie. pick a chapter master, this determines other choices throughout the book . . . the book would cost a lot more, be a lot bigger, and would leave a lot of fluff up to Black Library, but at least it would stop the whole book being about Ultramarines . . . =p

**jab4962**

Does anybody know if the new models will be available immediately following the codex release? Also, this accessory sprue, any details/pictures of it? Such as how many models it can support?

**H.B.M.C.**

No one knows how many models it will support. My guess is 5, based upon the Dark Angel one.

And yes, models will be out when the Codex comes out. What models? Again, no one knows. I doubt even GW does.

**Kaotik**

Those wolf tails hanging from the backpack look cool and all, but the METAL collectors range WG had the same pack. It took three in/outs from the carrying case and one of them snagged on the foam and popped off. The plastic kit guys you might as well cut it off before painting and save the time.

Thats why I store my models in plastic cases. They're protected well enough, and playing space wolves with all the pointy accessories, i foresaw that something would go wrong with foam cases. Also, my plastic cases, with a case-carrying case costed around 17 bucks, as opposed to 90 dollars for the GW one, which couldn't hold quite as much models. Plus plastic cases usually have manual dividers so you can fit terminators, bikes and other larger models without gouging out bits of foam to fit them it. Just a tip to fellow Wolves players, especially with all of the extra customization to come with these future models.

**Khornatedemon**

the dude with the mohawk totally looks like he has a troll slayer head with the beard shaved off.

**The_Chaplain**

...well, im greenstuffing it back on now then. seriously, that would look sick as hell.

Overall, I am interested by these 2 new models, but Im curious as to what else these sprues have. You'd figure more would have been leaked by now.

**reds8n**

Which sprues ? The general power armoured one or the plastic termies ?

**Oshova**

GW is being very closed about things atm, no-one knows anything until 4 weeks before release . . . so basically you've got to wait until September to see any more, unless they release some more pictures in newsletters or WD.

**DragonPup**

It's hard to tell at the angle of the photos, but it looks like the brass part of the chainsword is in the shape of a wolf's head.

reds8n wrote:Which sprues ? The general power armoured one or the plastic termies ?

Uh? SW are getting Termie sprues?

**reds8n**

I believe so yes.

And the power armour box set supposedly has lots of heads and gubbins so you can equip many many normal marines with wolfy stuff. Something daft like 25-30 heads. Most are bare headed, at least wolf helm shaped one and things like eye patches etc on some as well.

Bit like the chaos marauder horsemen I think.

**dietrich**

My guess is that the Wolf Guard terminators, if the boxset is released, is much like the Assault Terminator box. It has the body/leg sprue, and then an extra sprue with the different weapons (and probably a wolf chest plate and some other gubbinz). Which, could be a hint, that they don't get the loyalist standard armament of Power Fist and Storm Bolter. Personally, I'm hoping they come with Power Weapon and Storm Bolter, and you can upgrade the Storm Bolter to a combi-weapon, and the Power Weapon to PFist/Wolf Claw/Chainfist ala CSM Termies.

**reds8n**

That would be good.

[speculation mode] Remember ages back there was some rumour, later said to be BS, about the wolfs losing the TH and SS combo ? I wonder if it is only that there aren't any of those in the box set-- not least as FW make nice ones of those (.. right ? Or did I dream that ?

)-- maybe lots of lightning ... sorry, Space Wolf variant lightning claws as this is one of there themed weapons ( fire for salamanders, claws for wolves) and someone saw/heard this and made 2 + 2 equal 5 ?

[/speculation mode].

**Demogerg**

I think the TH/SS rumor was because there is no COMBO for selecting the TH/SS, sortof like how our current codex doesnt have a combo for it, you buy each individually...

I used all marauder heads on my BC since space marines in Viking helmets is deffinate win. I will still end up buying a box each of the new models because they do look good, but not too big a step up on the converted ones I have now. Only marine helms I actually use are the beaks and those have wolf heads painted on them. Stolen idea I know, but none the less cool.

**Thelaugher**

Is there gonna be a new space wolf battle force?

**grimbrandt**

Thelaugher wrote:Is there gonna be a new space wolf battle force?

I can't imagine them not doing one, even if it was only a limited release and then went to direct only

I know I'll be getting a couple

**Oshova**

Blatantly going to be a large army box released before the codex . . . like CSM, DA, SM . . . how I got into Dark Angels lol
