Space Wolf Rumors - Aug 2014
via an anonymous source on Faeit 212
The venerable dreadnought shield is called a Blizzard shield, and it grants a 3+ invul to every damage on in front facing.
the axe ist just like a CCW with mastercrafted.

Jaws of the world wolf is still in, its power 6, warp charge 2, focused witch fire with 18" inch. Single model ini test or removed. MC's auto pass this test.

Long fang squads start with 2 space marines, the ancient and a long fang for 30pts.

really? It's generally enough for you to figure stuff out by context.

Looks like Faeit has some rough translations of Psychic powers and warlord traits up.

http://natfka.blogspot.com/2014/08/space-wolf-codex-rules-relics-and.html

The traits seem a bit lackluster compared to what I would have liked. Especially if they are random. One seems to be specific to thunder/fenrisian wolves getting buffed. Would be a shame to roll that one twice in a row without having any in your army.

Psychic power look nice. If I am interpreting them right, most were not changed up too bad, aside from all of them being 18" now. All got a nerf bat slap of some sort.

Living lightning is primaris, which makes me happy. 18" S7 AP- 3 shots. Looks like it pretty much has the necron Tesla rule, any 6s to hit generate 2 more hits.... unless it is snap fired... So it is like a baby tesla destructor.
Looks like Storm Caller is pretty similar, as is tempest wrath, though they now target instead of act like auras.
Murderous hurricane is now pretty much a large blast rending bolter, which for 2WC is a bit... lackluster.
Fury of wolf spirits was buffed/nerfed. Now S6 ap- and S5 ap2, but it looks like it is one shot of each, though possibly precision shots?
Lastly jaws, which is now a focused whichfire.
Personally I don't know if I will roll a bunch on the table. I still dig living lightning, I think Tempest Wrath will be a nice deterrent against other assault armies and just messing with people in general.

What I am really interested in are these relics.

Helm Durfast: Re-roll to hit, attacks ignore cover. On a rune priest this could be cool if it is not too expensive. Boosting living lightning to twin linked will be nice, and ignore cover on that rending template wouldn't be too shabby either.
Armor of russ: +2/++4, and if I am reading this right, in a challenge your opponent is -5 initiative. That is just awesome. I think we will see a few TWC lords running around in this.
Black Death: +2S AP2 unwieldy, gives +3 attacks when outnumbered. Not sure when you want to be outnumbered at initiative 1.
Lastly, and possibly the coolest?
Wulfestein: Unit gets Furious Charge and support? carrier has Berserk. Who doesn't like a unit with furious charge?

**Ferrum_Sanguinis**

Any Germans in the house?

Oh and no EW for the Sagas/Warlord Traits anymore is BS.

**Anpu42**

The Armor of Russ mixed with the Black Death could be wicked.

If you can take more than one relic - some codexes allow - others don;t

**waizer**

looking at all of these leaks I'm personally quite hopeful that the codex will offer up a lot of new and interesting combo's

I think my main gripe with having Saga be Warlord traits is that now your limited to one Saga. Before you could have 4 guys with 4 sagas in your army (and a few other guys with built in Sagas). Thus helping with the whole idea of an army being lead by epic heros. You could have your Warrior Borne Wolf Lord, your Hunter Wolf Priest, your Bear Wolf Lord, all in the same army.

Now your just going to be limited to random roll wolf lord and nobody else of any narrative significance.

Thats the sad part for me.

Rumor had that multiple sagas could be taken even though they are warlord traits. We'll see though...

That would be pretty awesome. Maybe that rumor allows you to bring a special character with a pre-set saga, and use a custom character with a warlord trait saga as your warlord.

**pretre**

Yeah, no way to know until we get the book.

really? In im Swedish and probably used to quite bad english because I have no problem following that

**Super Newb**

Every German 40k player is now on my enemies list for not translating that stuff.

**Red Corsair**

Wow, I rarely use psychers anymore because it just speeds up my games but holy crap those powers suck. I am a bit relieved that I won't be tempted with Jaws anymore

They managed to make every power worse if that translation is true.

The relics seem lack luster as well. I am guessing the eternal warrior and hammer every one wants is in the champions supplement. Not being cynical, I just remember rumors of mnore relics in the supplement and that's my guess. I don't think I will deviate from the traditional TH/SS or SS/(any other weapon) and runic armor that I and many others usually used.

I am betting an EW wolf pelt is in the champions supplement or whatever it was titled.

REALLY itching to see unit entries for our troops and thunderwolf cav more then anything else. Gona be a long week

That chariot is too silly looking. Guess they had to find a way to top guys riding around on giants wolves. Well they succeded.

**Triszin**

So did they remove mark of the wulfen and replace it with rage and berserk?

=(

Gah, I hope this is actually true. My Wolf Lord is supposed to be a character/beast slayer, and if he loses access to EW then he's going to be extremely vulnerable to all those Bloodthirsters and Abaddons that he used to take on with a reasonable chance of survival... Gonna have to adapt unless there's some very nice relics in that supplement.

Also, I can't believe that no one else has said "Holy crap, it looks like frost blades now give +2S instead of +1!"

Im fairly sure that Arjac is loosing EW aswell (have no source, just a feeling for GW logic) and that upsets me the most, how is he suppose to do anything to any badass?

**Justyn**

I have to agree the psychic powers look very lackluster. I mean ini test on a single model that isn't a MC within 18". WTF is the point of that. 18" Living Lightning.....

sniping out squad leaders, heavy & special weapons, lower init characters, etc...?

**Super Newb**

Yeah it's not like living lightning was overpowered before. Oh well I guess it would be ok in a pod list now. Still if wolves can still take from biomancy I'd probably use that tree instead

**pretre**

Logan and Chariot with endurance would be pretty funny.

**Red Corsair**

Living lightning went from unlimited range to 18" lol I don't mind the set shots and faux tesla but 18" seems kind of horrid.

If Lone Wolves get worse and lose EW I'll be really sad. Mark of Wolfen had better not be awful either lol. We have already heard that wolf scouts have been punked ha ha. I am hoping that we don't lose the character on all our units from the previous book.

Ha ha yea totally a fair trade feeding a guard player my RP for a 50/50 shot on his auto canon

I am sure there are situations where it will shine, but there are just too many cases where it is useless IMO. Hey it could be wrong though, maybe its just an 18" beam

**Justyn**

"Holy crap, it looks like frost blades now give +2S instead of +1!"

1 for it being an Axe, 1 for it being Frost. Pretty sure Frost Swords will still just be +1 STR.

You mean having a mediocre to low chance of sniping out said things. Except characters which you have almost no chance.

At first I thought this, then realized you'd need to trade a special weapon and a plasma pistol. So your losing 3 s7 ap2 for 3 s7 ap- that need to be successfully cast in addition to fired.

- Although we can not hang more photos Codex, we can talk about rumors, like Tom Nanson While we said in her e-mail ... so we are open to your questions about the release of the Wolves and Codex xDDD , I think that does not infringe any copyright once you have read it in full, no?

- We finally official confirmation, with the invaluable help of our Sources Limited (with whom we are delighted to continue working), the releases of the week, are these:

* Logan Grimnar in Stormrider: A new multi-part plastic box, which costs 47 euros, which contains all the necessary pieces that Grimnar riding Logan, the Chapter Master of the Space Wolves, Great Wolf and King of Fenris mounted on chariot, palanquin drawn by two huge thunder wolves. Furthermore, the model can also be mounted Logan walk.

* Fenris Champions: A new supplement to the Space Wolves, coming out in hardcover, full-color, English only at a cost of 39 euros. With it we can create a fighting force based on the Great Company of Logan Grimnar. Contains background, stories, new ways to warlords and new relics. It also contains additional combat missions as well as new formations.

* Companies Fenris: It is a painting guide, which comes only in English and a cost of 26 euros, with schemes to paint a Space Wolves army and all their weapons. Contains background and different uniforms of four of the thirteen major companies of the Space Wolves.

No doubt it will be another weekend of great joy for players who are Space Wolves, and ruin our portfolios xDDDD

- And the thing does not end there, and the guys at Spikey Bits currado have an awesome unboxing in English, yes, the new flying the Space Wolves, the Stormfang / Stormwolf! I leave it here:

Only if SW gain access to biomancy, otherwise that's an expensive tax to pull off the combo. It would be funny though, well for one player anyway

What needs translated? The googletranslation from nafka is understandable. Anyway, if theres something someone didn't understand, I speak german. But It's a lot of effort to translate all of it.
