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

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

I imagine it's sort of like the Burning Chariot of Tzeentch's base for the T Herald. He has a "base" that supposed to be used on the Chariot that is part of the chariot with the bottom parts of his feet already on it, but there's another bit in that kit that allows you to mount him on a regular base off the Chariot.

Interesting. Thanks, Wilytank!

Pics of Grimnar improve.... and IMO this "chariot" belongs into a theatre and not onto a battlefield.
( someone like Pavarotti maybe..) Sorry SW fans.

After seeing that picture it occurs to me that if you dropped the wolves and made the chariot bigger (so it could accommodate a couple of Wolf Guard), then you might have something that isn't risible.

There is a difference between the Theater and a Battlefield?

extend it to a long boat, add a razor back turret, and you've got yourself a razerbacklongboat!

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

No.

It could mean the 666th chapter get a revamp. We saw a similar pattern with the Space Wolves vs Orks Sanctus Reach set. I'm guessing another x2 LE character models (one for each faction) plus a few dozen models from their current range.

Back to the topic- Grimnar Claws' chariot looks interesting now there's a close up. I wasn't aware the Space Wolves were involved on Armageddon until now (not up to speed on SW fluff)

that wolves unleashed with ---13----

DONT TEASE THE 13TH COMPANY DAMMIT

Keep in mind there have been several Sanctus Reach books that did not lead to army updates as well...

Yeah, their involvement was kind of a big deal and led to a kerfluffle with the Inquisition. SW don't give a gak.

They were at the first war against demons and Angron not any of the two wars involving orks.

Incorrect, they were there en mass during the Third War. 5 Great Companies present.

Umm. 5 Great Companies in the Third War. Ninja'd!

So just confirming what we've already assumed regarding some of the characters; received the below images in the package with my Stormfang/Stormwolf along with a badge for Logan Grimnar's Great Company (before he became the Great Wolf).

Looks like Ragnar, Canis, Lukas, Njal, Grey Hunter with Wolf Standard, Wolf Guard Battle Leader & Wolf Lord on Thunderwolf aren't going anywhere.

I'm not trying to hide the URL, it's simply www.games-workshop.com/fenris and redirects to the standard page for all Space Wolves, sorted price high to low.

Obviously we know Logan is next, but the badge clearly points to this.

That is really disappointing. Ragnar needs a update.

Canis is very interesting since we haven't seen him in the preview of all the HQs... Maybe an upgrade to a TWC squad?

He really does, there is one displayed in my local GW and he is showing his age, although he is a fair sized model for one in power armour.

On a different note this was in the latest WD
"This psychic discipline is known as Tempestas and through it the Rune Priests can summon howling gales laden with razor sharp ice shards, call forth bolts of eldritch lightning or even cause the ground to swallow up the foe whole"

Does this (^^) mean that JotWW is still in in some form? Or is this just a reference to the old codex? Sorry if somebody has already brought this up, but I don't think so

Nope, still an HQ. Look at the iPad Edition preview, it lists him as a HQ unit.

Am I the only one concerned by the inclusion of HARALD DEATHWOLF, a character for which there is no model? Maybe GW are turning things around.

Harald deathwolfs model is the previously unnamed wolf lord on a thunderwolf.

or am i mistaken?

Look at the pics just above my post, he's still unnamed. But otherwise, yes, that model was used to represent the character, but rules wise was simply a TW Lord with Axe and Shield.

The artworks on the flanks are great. Those Kraken look like the Tyranid symbols from 2nd edition (another 'subtle' hint).

Well, I still don't like the whole chariot idea, but this is a stunning kit.

Why can't Mr. Logan just take a Landspeeder instead of a sled? Wouldn't that be faster, plus it can go over terrain?

land speeders are faster, and higher,

too fast, and too high for their riders to participate in close combat with,



personally, I think a hover galley viking boat is a fitting chariot, Ill personally just be taking the wolves off to make more TWC, as I really like the idea of the boat itself

Easysauce when you do that give me a PM I will need multiple of these chariots and I wont need the wolves!!

Just noticed the Champions of Fenris supplement has additional warlord traits, and relics.

GW half the codex! the same price!

If you look at the top down of the chariot, the bars that connect the wolves to the tether are two different lengths lol. The pose of the recycled wolves dictated the harness rather then the harness limiting the wolves movement (and thus requiring a different sculpt). I was hoping they were at least retractable but appear solid as well.

I hope he likes going in circles.

I bet most people will run the boat chariot without the wolves.

Sad to see the old Logan model being discontinued. That sculpt had a nice character whilst the new one is too cluttered with detail IMO.

Pretty sure where they come up to the chariot, they have play in those tubes (forget what that is called) and part of those is cables rather than poles (the part on the actual harness, not the poles).

I'm sure there will be plenty in the swap shop in a week or two...

So it seems that regular HQ can't take this chariot, so it's grimar only. Weird move by GW

Man, I must be the only one who cares about anatomy. I thought the old Logan sculpt was very strangely proportioned.

Anyway, isn't building your own HQ model more fun anyway?
