Wouldn't matter a damn anyway now that Unbound armies are allowed. You can have as many Wolf Guard as you like.

Except many people don't like or want to use it. And even though I hate it, many people like tournaments which I hear usually require Battle Forged armies.

What about people who have built a Wolfy Wolf army with Fenrisian Wolves, Thunderwolves, Lone Wolves with Wolves, Thunderwolf HQs?

Yeah Unbound is not the answer here. People have made choices with their hard earned cash to create a themed army... "oh but you can, you just can't do it competitively" is not a worthy reply from GW.

I'm a fan of the more expensive HQs unlocking Elite/Fast Attack options, as long as it fit's their fluff and as long as the points and options are balanced on the other end what's the problem?

I've got 5 WG Terminators, (and a Wolf Lord on Thunderwolf), with Wolf Claw & Power/Chain Fists which will need ripping apart as soon as the dreaded "may swap their Power Weapon and/or Storm Bolter for a pair of Wolf Claws".

I just wish Saturday would hurry up so I can hurry up and get it over with.

Little Bird did mention that the WGTDA had more options than those listed in the rumor, I'm holding onto that including 1 handed options. Otherwise nearly all of my finished TDA are modeled incorrectly.

Oh, the price for the chariot has been leaked as 36 pounds / 47 euro / 59 dollars.

If the chariot price is correct, I might just have to have that. Far more reasonable than I was expecting. Are the leaked Chariot rules pics from Dwarf or the Codex?

Looks to be the codex. If you look in the pictures you can see the codex page numbers and the cover peaking through on the edges of the pictures.

Little early for gloom and doom since that's a WD pic and we have no idea if WG can still be troops or not (although recent codexes say no). Wasn't that rule only in the points section before?

Off the Logan topic for a second for what is probably a stupid question, but do we know where in the org chart that Murderfang dread is?

Murderfang is an Elite choice.

Looks like codex pics to me... note the SW codex hardback cover.

Kronk likes Santa Claws and his wolf sleigh slay.

Makes sense. I would've preferred Heavy but Elite makes a lot more sense. Thanks...

It was in the Army List section, under Logan Grimnar's entry.

I think Kronk has had some of my favourite posts in this thread

Got a small bit of money coming my way, who wants to help me pick between a land raider, a stormfang or a new dreadnought?

Roll a D6, Thorgrim.

It's the only way to be sure.

Okay, now I want to make a Landraider pulled by wolves and instead of lascannons, it has murderclaws.

I'll call it Super Wolfmurder Sleighraider. It'll be glorious.

You know what... Murderfang would have made more sense as a Lone Wolf. It just clicked... a last living member of a squad that snapped and went all primal beast mode and ripped apart everyone. They had to keep him locked in his armor and in cryo-stasis as his mind was gone, but he was such a revered member of the Wolf Guard (because of given the Ice Claws of Planet-Battle here), that they would preserve him until he could be mended. But that day never came and they become desperate. So they did the old "point & click" and let him loose.

A W3 Lone Wolf with all those special rules on top of what a Lone Wolf already has? Give him Runic Armor and a Belt of Russ... make it so he can never score and keep him at 135 points and let the boy do the deed. He'd be nuts.

As a dread? Stupid.

I could see an alternate to this. I like the Dreadnought idea and don't even mind the MurderMurderMurder stuff. But if I was going to do something like this, I'd make him a Wolf Guard akin to Arjac in like Ragnar's company. Whole squad got blasted, found him alive but only just, with no legs and his chest ripped open and his organs torn out. He couldn't fight but they had an open Dreadnought and put him in. He woke up, found out what happened and took the Lone Wolf oath. He's sane, just really freaking pissed. His Dreadnought body makes it really hard to kill him and fulfill the oath. He loved using a pair of Wolf Claws so had the Iron Priests craft him Dreadnought sized ones. Boom, Lone Wolf Dreadnought.

So far, I'm in for a dread, two storm fangs, the codex and the cards. Once Logan comes out, I'll grab him too.

Forgot to add the bikini babes sat on the front mate lmao.

Please do that conversion lol

I think Murderfang's stuff would be fine if he's not named Murderfang with Murderclaws and Murderlust from the planet Omnicide.

Give him a viking name and title. Harad the Bloodthirsty or Rolf the Mute. Rename Murderclaws into an appropriate viking-ish legendary name. Claws of something something, Fangs of something *propername*. Keep Murderlust 9since it's the only one with the name murder now). Change Omnicide into something less angsty. Boom, Murderfang became 4534512% less stupid.

Now hide that head poking outside the dread's body.

Can't wait for this codex. Totally going to use it to bring an incredibly silly army to the Nova Open that consists of tons of deepstriking solo terminator armored models! It's gonna be pretty amazing

Yes thankfully the dread kit comes with other head options, included helmeted ones...

I'm getting some new dreads because, well, dreads.

BUT, I will say that I'm currently assembling my Stormwolf and it's a very enjoyable model to put together. Really liking the kit!

Just my 2 cents.

This has been an assault heavy release for SW.

Murdefang, Sword+board dread, 11-16 attacks on the charge Loganmobile. The custom SW datacard shown in the WD also involved assault.

On top of that, WG combis are going to become more expensive.

The flyer is the only true ranged release.

If there was such a thing as "too metal", that would be it!

Epic.

That's the icing on the cake of fething stupidity.

Or it's awesome. Really depends on your point of view.
