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



Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you can already use them. The first page of the Space Wolves codex states "When choosing your army, you may make choices from the Space Marine Codex and/or Space Wolves Codex." It has no written limitations to it.

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

I do wonder what we'll be paying for all of these Wolves, both in terms of points and dollars (substitute your local currency here).

I think I'll only really need the "Wolf Box" of parts that's been rumored.

Well, maybe a couple of those boxes, but still...

Well, like with my puting a patent on 'Golden Globes' if the Skaven Poison Wind Globadiers turn out to be priced like 'Goldswords', let me also patent the title 'Gold Teeth', if Long Fangs end up as the same price.

And Gold Guard, Bling Claws and Grey Gold.

I wish I could say "No way!" but given the almost random nature of GW pricing lately combined with some ominous remarks from their last quarterly (or was that yearly?) review, I don't know!

There is nothing random about GW pricing, as "random" would tend to imply that prices go up *and* prices also go down with nearly equal likelihood. In general, GW prices only go up. Ergo, there is a clear pattern. The only question is by how much GW will raise prices on a given item in a given year.

Unless Bikes are effective with SWs, then they'll find a different useless unit. Jump pack troops maybe?

I'll agree in that you have to look hard to see them, but there are a few random elements to their pricing scheme.

Even if it is only that things go UP in a randomly (seemingly) determined amount.

That is, Gold Swords, the Orc Warlord on Wyvern, etc.

SPECULATION: we know we have Ragnar, Logan, Bjorn. We suspect that we will have Ulrik, Njal, "Wolfriding Guy", I would not be suprized if they added even another on top of these.

From what i have heard, there is Ragnar, Logan, Njal is a definate, i know people who have seen him, apparently he is in terminator armour this time around.

THe wolf riding character, and there is what has been described to me as a trickster character, seems to be some norse reference, i dunno, was weird :S

And i would say ulrik will make it in agian, and bjorn is there too.

in norse mythology the reference of a trickster is Loki i believe, and the wolf in norse mythology is fenir(spelling?) one is a reference to the devil (loki).

Where as Fenir is the wolf who kills odin! i am curious as to how they were referenced. Because if they are referenced then the space wolfs are going to get a point in my book.

Loki is not an analog to the devil.

My feeling of the Norse mythos was that he was everything bad about men. Selfish, cruel, and dishonest. Not the driving power behind all evil in the world.

Fenrir, or Fenris was one of Loki's children, along with Hel, the ruler of Niflheim (or Hel), and the serpent of Midgard.

Loki was not killed, because he was family, but he was imprisoned, strapped to a rock, and a serpent's poison dripped into his eyes.

I think a Loki/Trickster type would be in the fluff at least, someone the others don't really trust, but is likely a scout or psyker. Though i could see him being a captain.

I think that Loki was part of the inspiration for the Azazel character in the Sigmar novels.

Bam, said the lady!

O to my knowledge loki is their illusion of a devil because like most other religions the devil is view as a trickster... but we digress.

What the hell are you smoking?

People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.
