Subject: NOW is the time for your completely made up and false Space Wolf rumors!!!one!!!!
So apparently the long-neglected and rarely updated Space Wolf chapter will be the next codex, which is a great relief to all of us since it's been nearly 4 years since they were updated. Obviously a much higher priority than the Sisters of Battle no?
New Wolf-Walker*, which is a Super-Heavy-Cavalry-Beast-Walker and consists of a giant mechanical Thunderwolf ridden by a SW Dreadnought.
*Can combine with the Blood-Knight, a Not-Quite-Super-Heavy-Jump-Pack-Character-Walker-Flyer exclusive to Codex Blood Angels, and the Deathwing Knight, which is a Very-Bulky-Super-Heavy-Walker with a 2+ save, AV13, Storm Shield and Thunder Hammer (released via White Dwarf Weekly and inserted retroactively into Dark Angel fluff) to form the Imperial Knight... oh, wait, that's taken... The Astartes-Knight, second only to the UltramaKnight in power (also available for the small cost of 1 kidney and your firstborn son).

Random Table of the Wolf: roll on this table before buying your army (from a shop, not with points). The number you roll is the number of wolves howling at the moon that must be clearly visible on your T-shirt during every game in which you use this army.
PSYCHIC POWER
Other End of the World Wolf: think of all the models you wiped off the table without lifting a finger by using Jaws of the World Wolf in the last book. Now write them all on a piece of paper, putting "Wolf" in front of all their names. Each turn, on a roll of 4+ add D100 of these models to your army, counting as Battle Brothers.
FLYER
Wolf Talon: exactly like the Storm Talon, armed with Wolf Cannons (count as Assault Cannons) and Wolfhammer missile launchers (count as Skyhammer missiles). Also has the front half of the hull replaced with a massive gold wolf head. And Furious Charge.
WARGEAR
Wolf of the Wolf: this is a wolf. The model who takes this can feed him and take him walks. A Wolf of the Wolf may buy an additional Wolf of the Wolf, which is listed as the Wolf of the Wolf of the Wolf, and so on into infinity. If this makes the word "Wolf" become the most common word in your army list, you win.
Belt of Fluff Immunity: If your Warlord has this piece of wargear, before deployment you must immediately start a fluff argument with your opponent about whether Space Marines are still able to "do it." If you win, no female models in your opponent's army may attack your Warlord as he has charmed them with his pick-up lines. Your opponent giving up on the game or getting a restraining order counts as a win.

Driven away from WH40K by rules bloat and the expense of keeping up, now interested in smaller model count games and anything with nifty mechanics.

Well, thank you!
Maybe they'll make a fluff change so "The World Wolf" is the name of a battleship, so you can't Deny the Witch against it. Actually, if whoever's writing the book is reading this, that's a joke, please don't put that in.

FudgeDumper - It could be that you are just so uncomfortable with the idea of your chapters primarch having his way with a docile tyranid spore cyst, that you must deny they have any feelings at all.

Someone must have looked at the Stormtalon and decided that the only thing that could improve this horribly boxy fighter was to add another box onto it! Make it even LESS aerodynamic.
They are going to release a Wolfguard "Sternguard" equivalent kit. Except it will only consist of three models, cost $67.50 USD and be monopose only. But they'll be so covered in skulls and wolf pelts they'll be almost as big as nobs.
Thought for the day: Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
30k Ultramarines: 2000 pts
Bolt Action Germans: ~1200 pts
AOS Stormcast: Just starting.
The Empire : ~60-70 models.
1500 pts

The SW have replaced their Predators with the all-new WolfTank Wolflance WolfWolf, mounting a long-barrel Wolfcannon, two pairs of WolfClaws (treat-as DCW Power-Klaw+1) permitting the WolfTank to make 4 melee attacks in close combat, 5 on the charge.
It also has a pair of hull-mounted wolfeyes. They do not look soft.
Spoiler:
Wolfeyes in action:
Spoiler:
The WolfTank supports the new SW heavy armor, the WolfTank of the World WolfTank. All the equipment listed above, plus a Wolfhowl Blaster (treat as NoizeBlaster, 24" template, and Wolf Howlers (treat as Laud Hailers).

It is best to be a pessimist. You are usually right and, when you're wrong, you're pleasantly surprised.

UPDATE: Every single Space Wolf unit has been replaced with a kinda emo looking poster of a wolf howling in front of a moon. It can be equipped with the Wolf, Wolfwolf, Wolf Wolf, or the Wolfwolf Wolf Wolfwolf for a whopping 210 points.

They've replaced the traditional battle-standards of the Great Companies, and the Chapter as a whole, with variations on a relic recovered from a long-lost ruin on Fenris, recently returned to the surface during a recent Time of Ice and Fire, thought to have been taken from a tunic once worn by Leman Russ himself.
