I do NOT like what I'm hearing so far IF this is true. 2pts for GH to get a CCW? No new model for Ragnar?


My troll whiskers are twitching.

Not you, FS, but the source for the poster on BoLS. What I suspect we have here is a bunch of wishlist carefully adjusted to sound informed and blended with what we already know or suspect.

I may be wrong, but Grimnar in a super hover chariot is stretching my credulity.

Yeah, I'm not really inclined to believe this stuff. A Wolverine Dreadnought character that he haven't had any inkling of yet? A Logan resculpt (on a freaking chariot!?!)?

The outflank thing and relics sound pretty cool though. I almost hope that there's at least some true stuff in there.

I've been disappointed in the appearance of the newer models recently, turns out not to be the actual kit but it's the GW painting. I'm sure Bjorn, and the SW flyer will be bada$$ kits once you get your hands on them, and I know there is some serious talent out there that smoke the GW work we've seen.

Six HQ's? Seriously? I'm all for epic heroes and stuff but what game short of an apocalypse match would you even be able to fit that many into?

I love the new Bjorn model but for some reason I can't stop imagining him with a cane and pimp hat to go with all that bling. And is it bad I kind of really, really want to see what this "Murderfang" will look like? Because he sounds like an absolute nightmare in close combat.

Little gutted about the GH if that is true but an extra two points is still cheaper than Codex Marines so not too bad right?

Yeah, it's long been postulated that GW mediate their painting of display models to make them look "achievable" for your average hobbyist, especially the younger ones who might get easily discouraged when their first Marine isn't a Slayer Sword winner, which, frankly, isn't a problem solely confined to GW.

Frankly, I don't hate the flyer, I just have no use for it, and Bjorn is exactly what he was always going to be, there's very little that could be done with him within the confines of everything that was already established, especially when the dread chassis is so limited in terms of poseability.

To everyone who doesn't believe the logan-chariot could be a thing: I'm not saying it's definitely true, but if you look at the release trailer, you can see (quite early on) two wolves chained to something, which could be interpreted as a hint...

Not to mention that the artwork for Logan later in the same video, shows a nice wolf ear infront of him. Looks like he's following on behind a Fenrisian Wolf that's just out of shot.
Also interesting how both the images of the chained wolves, and the later image of Logan, are both running in the same direction.

Baseless speculation but I suspect they are the same picture!

Well, if you look at the video again you will relize that they are actually pulling something with the front that is eerily akin to a Viking boat, inscribed with that Nordic line art. And at the end of the video Logan can be seen riding something wooden, with a flag at the back.

I will now take all bets that Logan on a Chariot/Longboat is a real thing, you heard it here folks step right up and place your bets on the 9th wonder of the GW universe.

I'll agree that a dreadnaught with an advancing leg pose would be nice, but then a stable firing platform is both feet planted. Plus having a model of that size balancing on one leg can be rather precarious.
