Ah, sorry I missed that, in that case do you think we will get more box sets like this in the future?

Boxed sets sound cool.

Too bad this one's with Space Wolves.

Wolves needed an updated badly, and they are next in line to get one, so is definately fair to be them, the next codex and not the BA.
I cant wait until the middle of august

This better have a rulebook in. Very excited either way though!

It wont have a rule book. Its not a starter set. It will have data slates for models, new scenarios/formations but no rule book.
Thats my guess . I hope i am wrong

In the grim darkness of the 41st millennium there is only time in the release schedule for space marines.

Would be nice if DE got an update or Sisters finally getting a release instead yet another flavor of marines that gets crap shoehorned into it to justify them being a separate army.

Have you been asleep for the past 6 weeks? Unless Orcs have been retconned to some kind of SM chapter

No, cause then they could have an invulnerable save and bikes as troops.

Simply building up the hype for the arrival of the space wolfs at Sanctus reach ;-)

@Archon_Zarbyrn

It was a loyalists turn to get updated and SW were the most outdated of the remaining ones. DE were one of the last 5th edition codexes so they had to wait. Sister got an update (not a hardback one,still better than nothing) and who the hell plays sisters anyway . GW made a favor to the remaining sister players to give them something , instead of withdrawing the army completely cause i dont think it should have a separate codex (lack of fans).

There wouldn't be a lack of fans if they would have bothered to actually keep the model line updated, they are still lacking basic plastic troops for feth sakes. Anyway on SW, while I feel the various SM chapter should get attention it shouldn't be at the cost of entire other armies getting neglected for years cause yet another marine army is being updated. However, since we just had 3 non-marine updates in a row and GW current release schedule is way faster, it should be fine. Though I am worried about what stupid new unit/fluff will be in the book. SW already have some of the worst background out of the marine chapters, and GW thinks that the word wolf must be spammed at all cost.

On a slightly different note, it is quite nice to see some art work getting a miniature.

And if there aren't any rules, I'll just buy the character of ebay, yes he'll be over priced but currently building a 30k army as I already own a great company worth of models.

Is it something new for a power armoured character to be on a bigger base?

is there a rules reason for it or just to accommodate his heroic stance?

@Young Logan: I thought that guy looked familiar!

@Alphaecho: Rule of cool. I do it for most of my MEQ characters.

That guy does look pretty cool, I have to admit. Ironically my issue with SW is the same as every other Marine; it's the furthest thing from "forge the narrative" to have two Imperial armies fight each other.

Actually, SW are one of the easiest to justify in that regard. They've killed Inquisitors face-to-face, blown up Ecclesiarchy battle fleets that came to close, and almost gone directly against the Grey Knights on Armageddon. They have their ideals, and their way of doing things, and if anyone gets in the way they get beat down, Imperial or not.

Ork Flash Gitz come on larger bases, but they don't seem to be 'bulky'.

So, a bit more freedom in designing by not being restricted to a 25mm base then.

Some of the fluff for them is great. They really don't want people poking their noses into their own businesses. Space wolves are one of the chapters that need their own book imho as they are organised so differently from the other marine armies, it would be more difficult to put them in with ultarmarines. If you think about the units they have (thunder wolves, normal wolves, blood claws, lone wolves etc) there are far more 'specialist' and don't really fit with other marines

A "joke". Sure.

So keen.

Will be interesting to see what they put into the box. Based on Krom's fluff the intent is probably a lot of wolf guard.

Could be first box I can use everything in it
Hope for something good in the box hoping orks buggies and a wolf flyer (yeah right) anything but a dread is fine

Well, looks like a mix of old and new models, most likely just the characters being new.

Don't have much hope for a discount on the bundle, but hey, GW did crazier things. Got myself a bunch of Wraith things from that bundle they did some time ago.
