Everyone knows curves lead to temptation and chaos.

I don't mind the design, I wish the wings were a bit bigger/longer but overall it's not the worst thing to come out.

I hope that we got a wolf player with low enough fluff repspect to make the conversion:

Careful, a few more and you will tire the dog head joke form "heh heh" to "*groan* again?" before the codex is even released.

This happens to be the most SM looking flier ever made by GW proper and people are complaining. Kinda funny.

I'm not I really do love it. At first I wasn't really sold on the gun ship version, but the amount of mobile S8 AP1 weaponry on that bad boy is amazing! Melta/Lance to boot!

I thought SW didn't believe in flyers and all that jazz. I remember there was some reason behind their terminators not deep striking.

I think the models looks pretty great.. Are the problems with the model that it is *too* imperium like? Boxy and outrageous are pretty much what you signed up for when you play an imperium army..

I think the 4th edition codex made some mention about fearing Teleporter technology (which they had used repeatedly prior to that codex). It also gaves us the "space wolves don't like jump packs and prefer to fight with feet on the ground" nonsense. Glad to see both may be going by the wayside.

Spoiler:

I think what really needs to be asked is how many people will convert it to have windows so the SW can stick their head out on long trips.

Care to guess the pricing of this new hot dog? I'm thinking $110CAD/$90USD.

An interesting thought regarding pricing: will it be cheaper to buy two of these to kitbash a Caestus, or cheaper to buy one Caestus to kitbash into two of these?

It certainly fits the "flying brick" aesthetic that GW seems to be going for in Space Marine flyers.

I really like the transport version. Not terribly convinced by the gunship version.

Sadly it looks like this will be only for Wolves as the details appear to be sculpted on to major pieces rather than being attached to the chasis as optional bits. I hope I'm wrong and they have allowed for a more "plain" variant.

It's surprisingly 1 € cheaper than the Storm Raven, so it should also be below 100 CAD

I'd go for the second one, though just about.

Nope, 2xStormwolf = 1x Caastus at retail. Factor in shipping and discounts, the Stormwolfves come scheaper. Not to mention time and bits invested to convert the Caestus.

I wasn't either until I tried to think of decent anti-armor options for Space Wolves.

Krak Fangs aren't as great as they used to be with the new damage table. They can still glance things to death, sure, but AV13/14 gets rough.
Power Fists are pretty plentiful, and AP2, but they require melee range.

The gun ship has an AV12 all around hull that ignores Melta. It's a flyer, so it can Jink if needed. It can be fitted to rock:

2x TL Multimelta
TL Lascannon
Hellfrost Destructor

That's 2x TL S8 AP 1 melta, 1x TL S9 AP2 and 1x S8 AP1 Lance, Hellfrost. Not much is going to survive that. Does a good job against MCs, and once in a blue moon might even take down a Transcendant C'Tan!

YO! PERSON WHO KEEPS TRACK OF RUMORS ACCURACY? COUNT ME AS FALSE BECAUSE SW ARE NOT EARLY NEXT YEAR!

WOOOO!

Already did that a couple weeks ago.

I need to see how things fit together, but I may be able to kit bash the Gunship.

Is the Transport going to be dedicated or just an FA slot?

I would assume the Gunship is only heavy, but you never know.

The transport one? Much better.

Welcome to 3rd Ed 40K, where even the exceptions have exceptions!

Omg, I'll be buying new... again! GW has gotten me.

Good God. Someone took the time to use the spray paint tool in MS Paint to spray out the rules.

Which is stupid since they already leaked. /facepalm.

Whatever they can do to advertise...

The new flyer... is a brick. Did anyone actually modell that thing? Looks like they took a brick, glued on some spare bits and called it a day.

Almost as inane as saying things like "A Land Raider minus 35!" for points costs.

I thought we were past that, but no. I blame Warseer's points rules.

It looks like they looked at a couple other things from 40K and based its form on that, which is more than they ever did for the Chibi-Hawk.

Good gawd, if we keep ending up on the same side, the board may explode.

You beat me to it. I think it is an established shape and looks great for boarding actions. Also, I noticed that the rumors have been spelling Hel with one L. That makes me so happy.
