What Im curious about is how they kept this secret, last I heard was Blood Angels, then POW! Wolves. Which is good, Im not complaining.

If I remember right there was always debate on whether SW or BA would come first. Most assumed BA since their codex is older if I remember right.

I'm pretty sure the SW codex is older, and by a decent amount. I always thought that it was odd BA were being rumored.

Just checked lexicanum(for whatever that's worth), and it shows the SW codex 6 months older.

I think it may have been like Sister of Battle, the fans were just trying to use willpower to make it happen.

It'll be nice to finally have a use for all these Forgeworld Volkite weapons.

SW were fall 2009 (just after Space Hulk). Blood Angels were spring 2010.

We didn’t get grav cannons on regular devastators either. Probably because GW didn’t make a marine portable one. If GW makes a new longfang squad, or some new SW sprue and includes the bits for frost guns, I suspect we’ll see them on marines. If not, vehicle only.

If they are getting a dread kit, I’d expect to see them there.

We don't have Centurions to mount the guns on though, so maybe they'll slap them on the Long Fangs instead... that said, we haven't heard about new GH or LF boxes so I doubt they'll have man-portable versions.

Take 10 Grey Hunters
Upgrade To the Wolf Guard: Take a Combi-Plasma [I assume this is an option]
Take 2 Plasma Guns
Take 2 Plasma Pistols
Shove them in a Drop Pod

That is a 1st Turn 12" 8x Short Plasma Bubble

Haters are still going to have reasons to Hate them.

Yeah that has been debated already, it'll depend on whether the rumours are true though obviously. If it is though...

If this is one of the true rumours, I can see Plasma Hunters becoming a commonly seen strategy. If you figure that's only one troop unit, imagine having all those shots but times three coming down in drop pods on turn one?

Was it just GH in rumours that could do this or are BC getting the one plasma pistol per 5 models as well? (according to rumours)

That would be awesome. Given my track record with plasma, I could wipe out half of my own army in one single round of shooting

And given mine, I could wipe out a whole squad of hammernators (maybe my friend's dice were cursed but he was always failing that 3++)

Forgot to say that in my other post.

The carnage... so many exploded plasma weapons...

With the Blood Claw 1/5 Special Weapons Rumor You could do this:

20 Blood Claws
Upgrade one to a Wolf Guard and give him a Combi-Flamer
Grab 4 Flamers
Add a Wolf Priest with a Combi-Flamer.

A 5d3 Wall of Death! or 5 Flamer Temples

I may only field this one once, but it will be fun to do.

I HAVE lost all plasma gunners, same turn... my dice hate me.

Whoa, what was the rumour for special weapons? That's brutal.

And wouldn't that be 6d3 or 6 templates? Throw in SotH and outflank. Everyone would hate you soooo much.

My last game, 2 grey hunters double tap, 2 dead grey hunters. I'm totally with you on that.

Also, where'd the 1/5 rumor come from? I haven't seen that.

It is now on the first page, the second large group iirc.

Oh, it was implied 'same as above' and I didn't notice it.

I'm still not seeing it, are you sure you aren't confusing it for the "They can also take plasma pistols at 1 per 5 in addition to special weapons" because I'm pretty sure they mean you can get your 2 special weapons AND the plasma pistols.

Possibly, but with the Blood Claws who knows. We are still unsure about the Plasma Pistol Rumor.

Dang, I got into reading about the Stormwolf... the pic cut off. That's flipping awesome!

Please someone paint wolf's teeth along each side with the angry eyes, like we paint the shark faces on Thunderbolts/A-10s.

I just have to say that I LOVE the new flyer. It looks like the FW assault ram but better. Say what you like about the stubby wings but I think it suites the design rather well and doesn't detract from the battering ram shape it has. I sure hope that the price will be decent as I may have to pick one up and Thousand Son it up...

I'm betting that the Natfka/Voice/Vela train is wrong and we won't see Helfrost on other units. Afterall, you didn't see the DA Flyer's gun on DA Tac's.

Any unit that gets a new model has decent chances of getting new guns. Obviously they won't add new gun options to old units that have no models to represent it.

So the Long Fang box and Long Fangs getting access to little freeze whatevers will both be true or both be false, IMO. Same for other units.

I'm actually really excited to see what some people do to suit it more towards another chapter. Mate of mine is already fiddling around with ideas for his Raven Guard and got another friend of ours thinking about how he could change it up for his Salamanders.

New rumors look terrible, mix-n-match TDA and PA was basically my favorite element of the book right beside super cheap killy GH squads :(

If all those ice-gun rumors are true, I am going to just load up on them in every unit that can take them and make terrible Batman and Robin quotes every time I fire them until my opponents quit:

I wouldn't get too upset yet, most of those folks are pretty unreliable.

Glad its not just me. My long fang plasma cannons kill themselves without fail the first time they fire.

It's kind of hilarious in a sad way when your happy a rumor monger has a gak record

I see Wayland has preorders up for the Stormfang - RRP of £49...

Ooo thats cold.

Hey cool it More Dakka. I was wondering when someone would break the ice with a picture like that.

I don't know about you but these rumours send a chill down my spine, I get the feeling GW are skating on thin ice with this one tbh.

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but they're up for preorder now:
