Don't really like the model, but looking at the sprues it looks like an interesting kit to play about with.

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.

Its so bad but so god damn good!

**Azreal13**

So the Space Wolves release is going to be eked out over the rest of the summer much like the Orks one has been running since Christmas?

Invalidates all the new daemons rumours by the sounds of it.

Shame.

**Commander Cain**

Ooh looking nice! It's also ever so slightly cheaper than the chibihawk which is a pleasant surprise.

**Deadshot**

Also, looking at the sprues, it appears to take Rhino doors like the Stormraven. So if you place the Missiles/Multimeltas etc elsewhere, you can use FW Chapter Rhino doors and back hatch.

Not necessarily...

Space Wolves book could be leading up to another "Stormclaw" styled box featuring Wolves and Daemons.

It isn't impossible that it's the new release format I guess, but considering I was already skeptical about the new daemons rumours, this isn't exactly making me more optimistic.

**Ferrum_Sanguinis**

I don't like how the pilot's legs are molded into the seat. Gonna make it hard to paint for most (not me since I always just paint over the canopy sky blue, makes my life so much easier.)

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

I saw somewhere (BoW forum? or BoW facebook I can't really remember) that somebody was saying the next campaign box would be Blood Angels and Dark Eldar

which might be made up nonsense but I'd almost believe as BA will be up reasonably soon (just coz they are amongst the only old SMs left), but Dark Eldar seem an odd choice to pair them with so it just might be real

Blood Suckers versus Soul drinkers?

Must admit very tempted to get one of these Stormfangs

From Element Games newsletter

Given the size of this beast [SW flyer] for a limited period only GW are rereleasing The Fang Spray, available from the 4th of August.

http://elementgames.co.uk/games-workshop/citadel-games-workshop-paints/the-fang-spray-6-pack-

whether this means it will also show up in other GW regions? (since spray paint shipping seems to be a bit of a logistical nightmare at the moment)

I .. I .. I .. I know I shouldn't post here, I don't play the game, but it's in the 'N&R' section so fair game as far as I'm concerned, and this utter monstrosity demands comment!

As shocking as the design of this miniature, how crude and toy-like and completely disregarding of the physics that govern existence, even more shocking has been the general reaction of "Wow, actually that looks OK!"

My only thought must be that GW has set the bar so low that anything that isn't a red hot needle to the eye gets met with encouragement, that you positively have to scrape through the mud and grime at the bottom of the barrel to find anything so absolutely, positively, hideous to look at.

Even with a genetically enhanced ugly tree (made to look as bad as possible), hit with the ugly stick so hard, again and again, and an involvement somewhere of the fowl, stinking bowels of satan, I struggle to think how anything so monumentally abysmal could have been produced.

Honestly an absolutely fething terrible 'miniature', and I am shocked and appalled at the lack of artistic and creative critique applied here by some of the members of Dakka!

IMO this beats the ogre cheerleader, by far the worst looking miniature that GW has ever produced it just fails on absolutely every level. It's like someone took the essence of Adrian Childs, the arse of a baboon, a 1930's tractor, combined it with some chewing gum and threw it into the teleporter from 'The Fly'.

It actually hurts my eyes to look at it..

Or people like different things. Shocking, I know.

Clearly you've never seen Adrian Chiles.

BOW it was. Which means it is unlikely to happen.

You have my unconditional apology.

Feel free to buy this and have it sent to me.

My first visual impression of this image was of a bad joke photoshop job...

Then I realized it's a thing GW makes and sells :(

I just can't get over that flyer...

Leaves plenty for me.

**ashikenshin**

I changed my mind about that flyer :( looks very dumb in that last picture. Maybe it's the way they are arranged.

**pretre**

Pop over and check out the 360. That'll give you a better idea.

**Triszin**

I want it, I have to wait to buy it, but I will be grabbing 1. Hot DAMN. This is THEE space marine flyer. Bulky ignorant but at the same time awesome. En mass they look awesome, But I think whats putting a lot of people off is the way that they are modeled on the bases, leaning forward. If they were all flying level, I think people would like them more.

**Ian Sturrock**

Totally painting mine up as a wolf's head with big teeth.

**Jayden63**

That is a lot of molded on SW iconography. It clearly is going to be a chapter specific unit for quite some time.

Not that I mind. I feel that 40K has lost a lot of its identity with the pay to win and to hell with FOC shenanigans that have been prevalent over the last few years.

**pretre**

Pretty sure it'll be chapter specific for more than 'quite some time'.

**Vasarto**

So, is anyone else going to fething point out how this model is the ugliest most useless fething model in the game?

It looks like a penis or a fething coffin. ITS UGLY.

SPACE WOLVES DO NOT fething FLY.

I mean...omfg.

Its blocky, ugly...that thing in the middle on top of the ship that looks like an open exposed engine. This is without a doubt the ugliest model in the game. More so than any other flyer.

I could make a better looking flyer than that.

Citation needed. We've gone over this ground plenty in this thread. Maybe take a sip of a frosty beverage, lean back in your chair and read through the previous posts.

I think the Storm Talon still holds that top spot personally. In any case, I'm not a fan of this model but I don't think either of your comparisons are accurate. If anything, it looks like that little german dog's head that someone posted earlier in the thread.

Good thing people have different opinions on stuff. I find both the Chibi Hawk, Storm Talon, and DA upgraded land speeder hands down worse looking than this assault ship. I like it because it specifically has a landing craft look to it (ala WWII) and with a little imagination, old school viking Long Boats. It just needs a dragon head on the front and a row of shields along its flank.

I thought of that earlier, but definitely think this is the way to go.

**Triszin**

Space wolves don't fly*

THen they'd just be wolves.

**More Dakka**

That's not correct, they don't teleport, they do fly (Thunderhawks, Caestus Rams etc).

I like it actually, the gunship model more than the transport version.
