I think I like the chariot. Logan looks pretty big. It'll be good to retire his Napolean complex.

I assume the wolves provide the forward momentum and the grav technology simply keeps it in the air? I get what you're saying though, but definitely model over mind in this instance, and I don't mind

You could kitbash it to have some sort of rocket engines pulling it.

It doesn't HAVE to be pulled by wolves. Logan WANTS it pulled by wolves.

It isnt pulled by wolves, he is hunting wolves with it (yeah they are chained to it... Logan isnt a fair player, what can I say...)

So that figure is gonna be 81$?

35$ for the 2 thunder wolves
25$ for logan
20$ for the boat?


+1 $ cause logic

Well the trolling is complete. Trolled by GW wow. lol

Edit: Yes in a world where stormfangs and cheep grav tech exist like, you know, the landspeeder it is certain possible and even probably more safe to have this not pulled by wolves but by that logic maybe it would have been safer for Logan to maybe stay at home and let his many, many armies fight his battles for him possibly?

So in truth why not take a hover chariot pulled by wolves, it maybe your last day alive why not flaunt it in style? And what is more stylish than a grav boat pulled by wolves?

That or the rule of cool simply applies.

Well i mean, Logan can't pilot it. He's too busy absolutely going to town on whatever poor models find themselves next to this vehicle.

Ugh it took 10 years to forget pod racers ruining my star wars Pretre you cruel man....

I think the dogs are more of a sweet guard/attack asset and less prepulsion in theory but maybe I am wrong.

I think a different paint job will do it a lot of justice. Also, aren't those TWC size wolves? Damn.

Actually it is the exact same plastic as the TWC box, 2 of the 3 wolves from the box.

Form what I can tell

I'm sure you could find an anakin head and replace his.

Yeah, it will probably not have the skimmer type.

Ooh, neat. If that sucker is all plastic, I will be ecstatic.

It will be plastic. The only way it will stand on that tiny fin on the bottom is that it is all plastic. Not the first time GW has done a big kit with a special character in plastic.

Squeeee!

I'm going to need some more Krakenbeard heads. Hopefully Logan is customizable like Krom was.

I cannot believe that chariot thing is...a real thing.

Wow.

Unless I'm looking incorrectly, the wolves are different. The TWC box comes with one with a bionic arm and ones with a bionic left eye, and right wolf on the chariot is leaping off of something that is not ground level.

Where does it say this? 5 grey hunters for 70pts = 14pts a grey hunter. But only a wold guard leader comes with a chainsword and the rest of them don't have extra close combat weapons or is there a photo you've missed? I mean if this is true than great, but it doesn't look like it

Yeah sorry, I didn't realise I was looking at the bottom of the page and hadn't refreshed so hadn't noticed two pages had popped up since, my bad.

On another note chariot looks pretty good, not sold on Logan yet, will need to see close ups of him first

I'm really hoping the rumors about other wolf lords being able to take one is true, which means that Logan will probably be removable. Heck, he might even still be on his base in that pic...

.." Radaghst Grimnir the Grey was not like the other Chapter Masters...."


..... well.... it's different.

BTW Logan Grimanr is no longer popping up instore, like the model is actually vanished form the American, British, and Canadian stores if no one has checked.

He's been gone for weeks.

It's been a while since I assembled mine, but Im 99% sure the wolves had option to not use/use bionics. I know I have at least 1 extra TW leg in my box.

Look at the feet position, if it isn't the same sprus, its a very minor changed one.

Reminder from the first post:
Logan Grimnar - Lord of War - Points = Land Raider
Epic new model, comes with a sort of grav-chariot called 'Stormrider' pulled by two enormous Fenrisian wolves, but he can be used without it as well.
Stormrider - Points = 70
Treated as a vehicle, didn't get AVs, has a 4+ Invulnerable save and cannot suffer Penetrating hits (all Pens are reduced to Glances).
Gives Logan 4 S5 Ap- attacks on a turn when he charges.
Logan loses Deep Strike if he takes Stormrider
Lots of other cool rules, but didn't get those.

logan grimnar:
uhhh,
gak.
this dude.
again..

I'm gonna go ahead and suggest that the Chariot will be an optional upgrade for Logan, and the model will be detachable and come with a 40mm base for the characte, like the Necron CCB. That way, GW doesn't invalidate the old model completely and make many people angry, and allows the chariot to be used for a Wolf Lord.

Previous rumors would agree.

Well, not to mention that you also have the precedent of the whole "Lothern Skycutter" for High Elves.

Which incidentally if people are looking for a 'larger' boat, might fit the ticket.

I think he has to be really, doubtful they'd make a new sculpt for the Chariot but not useable in game otherwise i.e. having to use the old finecast model. Assumedly this would allow you to pop a TDA or PA generic Wolf Lord on there regardless of base size, (although does mean that you'd have a based model on top of a painted model though; been done before?

Magnetize the character to the base, so he's removable and put magnets on the chariot. Problem solved.
