Even with his higher than necessary price tag, Arjac has always been a beast on the table and just fun to play. I really hope he stays.

I have never actually played as him. His ranged power weapon at 6' just seemed a odd and useless choice to me.

I wonder if we are getting other new models after the codex is released or if this is it.

Pre-ordered the Regular Codex, the new dread kit, the datacards, and the new flyer! Now i need a Logan release (i dont like the sled, but i like the pose/sculpt better then my current Logan), and some Long-Fangs, and ill be content!

I really need to get Arjac, i really want to run him just to see what happens if i get em in CC lol, also i need Lukas, as that's my first name! Though i dont think i would take em in a game, unless i was just having some fun.

I've had mixed success with Arjac on the table-top. I like him though!

I once killed Kharn with a lone wolf though...it was pure hilarity. Not so much for my opponent.

If I remember correctly isn't arjac's hammer concussive? In which case throwing it at a monster before engaging in combat would be very beneficial despite the tiny range.

The stats on it help too. Especially if he's popping out of a drop pod and sees a shiny bit of armour in front of him and decides he doesn't like it.

Having run 15 blood claws with Lucas the trickster and wolf priest in a land raider crusader I can't wait or this release.

Hoping that combo will drop by at least 50-70 points

Lukas is da bomb. That awesome moment when their chaos lord / Abaddon(!) has to challenge and then promptly and utterly destroys Lukas (and themselves) in the process.

Ive had that happen on 2 separate occasions and it's friggin' awesome. How to make your points back with Lukas the Trickster 101

So this is a thing

However that is superb

We've talked about it, but here's the image:

I don't care as much about most of [well that is not true "I am as giddy as a School Girl"] what I am seeing.
But Bjorn's Knee Replacement Surgery must have paid off, because he can now use a DROP POD!

And its confirmed! Logan is a LoW!

Notice the second column on the left, where it lists all of the HQ choices. Logan is absent.


BUUTTTT!!! Harald Deathwolf is in the Codex!

DOes it remove it from the list when you're working on it?

 pretre wrote:

Because Space Wolves never had those as an option for drop pods.

So wait, do you have the digital codex?

If so

What is the wulfenston

and

is Mark of the Wulfen still in?

The Rumor is that Wolf Guard Terminators can now Teleport, so there looks to be a lot of changes.

No. If you look in the image, the user is working on Bjorn, and Bjorn is still in the list, bottom slot.

The only time I have fielded Lukas was in a GW Character Royal Rumble weekend event, (Saturday was the Character and his unit, Sunday was Character only). Because the 14 Blood Claws were such poor opposition for everyone, (shot to hell with AP3, blown to pieces by Orbital Bombardments), they ignored him completely on the second day to the point where it genuinely came down to just Lukas and, if I recall correctly, Kaldor Draigo. Not one of the people playing had any idea about The Last Laugh apart from the Store Manager... as Kaldor easily swept Lukas aside the fated roll off was successful and removed them both from play simultaneously - game over, no winner, classic Lukas.

One of the first events I went to, (chose Lukas as I liked the model and fluff, knowing he would be destroyed but hoping to at least get to test The Last Laugh), but one of the events I always recall when anyone asks me why I play 40K

All jokes aside though they need to fix Pelt of the Doppelganger so that any successful roll to hits, (upon which Lukas will be the intended target), can be rerolled. If they balance this with a "cannot Look Out Sir!" I don't see the big problem. Leave him out there long enough and he'll get smushed easy, but pop him in the line of fire for small squads and he might just significantly improve their longevity... but yeah I have not fielded him in a game since, much as I love the guy!

Wow. I love that chariot even more now.

So the special edition codexs are only unique due to the packaging and coins. glad I decided no.



Happy to see logan sits int he cchariot base, so any 40mm base can fit in. nice.

Is that a special base for Logan or something else?

looks like a special base for logan

Yeah, that picture actually makes the chariot look better. But I'm biased because I think it's totally something Grimnar would use. It's impressive and remember the Wolves have a reputation for being a more open and helpful chapter than most, especially under Grimnar. He'd be crazy inspiring to your average run of the mill imperial guardsmen in that thing.

I forget that Grimnar's always going to bat for the common man. Good call.

No, not the chariot base, Grimnar's base. Check out the top down view. Is that part of the chariot or his base?

That grey knight part on the Sanctus Reach, does this mean Grey Knights are definitely next?

Part of the chariot kit I'd say. You mean the swirling stuff or what he's actually standing on?

Its a special greatwolf base for logan, looks like, but he has 1 foot off of it. hmm

What he's actually standing on. The great wolf seal.
