Agreed, the captain looks awesome. As someone who likes to get the unique Space Wolves minis and has been waiting for a mini-40k rulebook, this basically secured a purchase from me (as long as the starter set isn't like $200 anyway). I'll have some Orks for casualties and/or to sell too to make back some of the cost.

If the Grey Hunters are new I'll buy it. But if they stay the same I probably won't. I'm a Ragnar man.

Well this might be my first GW purchase in two years if the wolves are unique enough.

They don't look any more unique than the standard GH box.

SO DA get all nice unique one off models, I'll be disappointed if its just a repacked for wolves.

They still get a new codex which is all I've been asking for.

I am guessing there is no mini rule book in there.

*edit* bolded my part.

The DA were part of a starter set.

It's not a starter set. GW is releasing box sets to coincide with the new campaign releases. If you look at the white dwarf cover that I posted it's described as a box set.

You mean Tactical Marines that can be built out of a Tactical Marine and Devastator box mixed with the Dark Angels Chapter sprue?

The only thing really "unique" was the Deathwing, the two characters, and the leader for the Ravenwing.

Don't GW refer to DV as a "boxed set" too?

I've always heard the starter sets referred to as boxed sets, going right back to when I started in 2nd edition.

Granted, I don't think it is a new starter set, because the more logical thing would be to show new snap fit models instead of the old multipose ones. But I could definitely see them selling the new starter set as a campaign set and rulebook in one. That's basically what they already do. They'd just include a mini rule book and also a campaign book.

And...?

They don't really describe things as "starter boxes". Island of Blood was referred to as "the Warhammer boxed game" and Dark Vengeance was the same just referred to as "the Warhammer 40,000 boxed game".

If its a deal like the Termi captain, I might get an Ork one for the Warboss, as with three Clans to add boys to, I can't really have too many doubles.

Although in that case I have zero interest in buying a expensive Wolf one for the Space Wolf figure.

If's a Starter set like the Dark Angel one, I'm not sure, Space Wolves are an army I have owned three times now before selling them off for other projects. If I brought a box for a load of Orks, and it came with Space Wolves, it might just lure me into making another Guard ally force.

It says "Space Wolves vs Orks boxed set". Not "Space Wolves vs Orks boxed sets".


Plus the "Dark Vengeance" boxed set is now actually gone. The only thing in that section is the Cultists.

May the Space Wolves get a Codex as well loved as the new Ork codex.

Why do you hate me man?


I play both of those armies, so I will definitely be getting a copy of the new box set.

If the Ork side really is a Warboss, some grots, some boys and some killa kans, that's pretty much every bad unit in the codex in one set. A perfect bunch of whipping boys for the Imperials to demonstrate their superiority over.

I wonder if that would prove they do things on purpose.

Given the quality of recent codices I'm not sure I want a new SW codex. As a Tyranid and IG player, I feel like I've been put through enough abuse for now

Feth... I only needed 4 more of those Dark Vengeance boxes... I was so hoping they'd last longer...

Now... I must go.... *flys to eBay*

Check local independents or GWs. As of right now, they haven't had a "send back" order issued.

Why would you "need" 4 dark vengeance boxes exactly?

Depending on Orks contents I'd be very tempted to pick one up.

I've built a 2500 point list using exactly 4 DV boxes worth of DA models... actually... all the DA except the Company Master...

Does a new Wolf dex mean you'll have some characters removed and some of your weaker units nerfed further?

All our characters have models, so I think they're safe (and if we're lucky, Ragnar will get a new model to replace the old one). To be honest, it's the new unit that has be worried, it'll either be a flier that doesn't fit the fluff or some kind of giant Wolf Knight.

Krom Dragongaze? Worst name ever.

Wonder if it will be like the old expansions (dwarf,undead and Orc ones) that had a scenario and some cardboard scenery. So you get a couple of unique models some plastic objective scenery and a book that would be quite cool.

Suddenly, all the rumours of daemon "mini waves" and the like snap into focus

Hardly.

Warboss becomes a nob. Boys are always useful. Grots plus killa kans plus bits box = cheap mek guns. It would be excellent.

If you can't turn one kind of Ork unit into a different, more useful Ork unit, you're doing Orks wrong.

Exactly! No orks minis are ever useless.
