Some thoughts so far

Chariot Mounted Logan: Sounds epic and is on my “Must Get List” right now.

Stormwolf: I like the looks of it and am going to get one. I like it better than other Marine fliers so I will be using it as a proxy for them.

Bjorn: New model, Cool, Getting back his Lighting Claw/Wolf Claw…YES! He have been house ruling that for years. As a Lord of War, Works for me!

Grey Hunters: Paying +2 for the CCW, I am good with that [though there many out there will still probably say we should be paying 5 PPM when mixed with Counter-Attack]. Wolf Guard Upgrade, Yay! More Plasma/Melta/Flamer Weapons! Add LD9 at fill size in a transport even better. Getting a Stormwolf as a Dedicated Transport…Yes if it true!, No I don’t want to eat rammen from now to X-Mas.

Murderfang: Cool, especially if it is a Dreadnaught-ed Wolf, who cares about the Rules or Fluff at that mount if the model is cool. Will probably be used as a proxy for my Chaos Marines.

I can't exalt this enough.

Weren't the HH wolves using Murder quite a bit? Like 'The murdermake begins..' etc?

Swear to God, if Murderfang is a Dreadnaught-ed Wolf, I might be selling my Dark Angels to cover a Space Wolf army.

I'm banking on dreadnought wulfen.

Either way, if it is a quadrupedal dreadnaught that I can model catching a Tau Gun Drone in midair?

SOLD!

Not as cool...
But you're probably right.

I admit, that does sound pretty metal.

Dreadnoughted wulfen is much cooler. Why would they put a wolf in a dreadnought...

The better question is...

WHY WOULD YOU NOT?!

Oh I didn't say I wouldn't

Wulfen aren´t really wolves, just space wolves that have been lost to the inner wolf and mutated slightly. Unpredictable at best.

I saw the Logan chariot coming a long time ago. When they first added chariot rules to 6th edition. There were going to be marines or guard being pulled by something. They couldn't just have it be a xenos thing.

As to how I feel about it, well, I'm just going to reserve judgement until I see the model and rules. If it truly ups Logans power to proper LOW status (IE not Gazzy but some awesome MC) then it will be all good.

What I find funny is that this rumored Logan model is pretty close to what a lot of people thought TWC should have been modeled as originally. A marine "walking" a large tethered wolf. Well, now they can get what they really want. lol

In Norse mythology, Thor had a goat-drawn chariot, didn't he?

There are a lot of Norse imagry of their warriors being on charriots being pulled by giant rams.

So yeah, its not a far stretch, but I just wonder about it in a Sci-Fi setting. Seems more like a fantasy thing, but I dont hate it either.

And, yes, whoever decided Murderfang was a good name for something needs to be dismissed from the naming committee as soon as possible. Might've made more sense if it was a pattern name, I guess, eg "Murderfang Dreadnought".

Probably Mat Ward. I mean he renamed Dark Elf Warriors with spears to be "Dreadspears", sword and shield were named "Bleakswords" and Repeater Crossbows were renamed "Darkshards".

Like the old chaos dreadnoughts who where tied down until the fighting got a goin then you send them in with there wire arm and gun and lets have fun watching what it can do....until it turned around.

Oh and if there is a chariot it better be pulled by Slepnir!!!!!!!!!!! 7 legged horse? just awesom.

Aw man, now im torn between the murderclaw and the Imperial Knight for my robot shenanigans. I wonder if the murderclaw plus pod will end up having a similar cost, lord knows its gonna be pricy with those stats.

Pint to the first person who manages to reinterpret that to be pulled by two Stormwolves (they look a bit like battering rams...) and model the chariot accordingly.

Murderfang, for what we know now, is a single character. That means no duplicates.

Imperial Knights (barring Gerantius) are generic units so you can have duplicates.

Please stop. Please. My wallet can only take so much!

What if the chariot is a general transport? Giant Man-Wolf in a Dreadnought on a Viking Sled being pulled by Giant Wolves!

I can confirm that murderfang, is indeed a 'machine'.

Can you confirm it with a picture? Por favor?

I think you nailed it. Ward... literally worse than Hitler

Can you tell us what Murderlust does?

Will do shortly, but don't get your hopes up - it's not a picture of murderfang, so I don't know what type of 'machine' it is.

Murderfang sounds like something a giant kitted out Frenrisian wolf would be. Kind of like the Space Wolves equivalent to the CSM maulerfiend . Count me in.

Muderfang needs to be a Knight-sized combination of Dreadwolfs.

Like Voltron, but with wolves instead of lions.
