I like the guy with the hammer/shield combo. That's how they all should have looked like - low, predatory stance.

The mono-pose is killing it to me.

The rules vs pointcost seem fair though, will probably convert something beautiful.

They still look terrible.

Anyone able to translate some of the rules? Are the stats in a different order to normal? They look to be S3, T4, 2W, 3 attacks and 150pts for only 5 of them, so that sounds awful unless there's some amazing special rules in there

Move, Run, and Charge is pretty amazing.

Oh my. That's a much better leaked pic. Reserving judgment for GW video for 360 degrees of models, and I hope they do this for all 5 in the unit. I'm a fluff gamer so looking fwd to what current fluff GW assigns them in the WD. I guess if my SW army still hasn't sold in a month I can just add these guys.

They are Strength 5 as I read it and as said they can move, run and charge - (sort of thing that would have been great for Wyches.....................) Plus FNP has been mentioned as a strong possibility

feel no pain,

options:
grenade launcher, two handed frost axe, 2 frost claws, hammer+shield, pack leader with 2 claws, stormwolf transporter

Wow. And they have the same base cost as Warptalons.

So Wulfen are effectively much better Possessed than any actual Daemon-possessed Chaos Marine... At least GW is consistent in giving our rules to Loyalists?!

Wow, 30 pts/model for a 4+ save is pretty bad. Yes they have four wounds and 3(4) attacks, but they are going to get shredded. Too bad.

Yeaah...

I'd hold off on the doom and gloom until we see how everything works.

don't worry, I will probably still get a pack. I am waiting for the other 13th Company assets like Storm Claws. They better make a plastic Rune Priest too, since the 13th has a ton of them.

I think you should, at least, play a game with some (whether by proxy or with the actual models- old or new) before you poo-poo them. They might do pretty well. The dice gods are fickle after all.

I think they only have 2 wounds. That's a German copy. W might not be wounds. It's in the order where Toughness usually goes. English order is: WS/BS/S/T/W/I/A/Ld/Save

Nah, W in this case is german for "Widerstand" which means Toughness. They have 2 wounds (LP).

edit:

Much better clearer picture has lead me to decide that yes, my first impression was right.

Storm Claws were just Wolf Guard in Power Armor and equipped specifically with BP/CCWs.

The only reason I suggest to hold off on the doom and gloom is there's a few things of note in there. It looks like they get Furious Charge and Rampage, and Mark of the Wulfen is listed in the White Dwarf--which might mean they have added a change to it(they usually don't reprint things that are in the codices already for new units). I'm about 90% sure they have Feel No Pain as well(Verletrungen ignorieren). Also looks like they might have Fleet to boot.

Before I was hoping that the ballerina was a single monopose character model. Now this picture leads me to believe it's a whole box of monoposers.

And yeah, I don't see how clearer pictures are going to make them look less bad.

That's a much better picture. Still don't like the Cave Marines.

The 2 handed axe guy, and the TH/SS guy don't look too bad. But the pack leader and the guy with the snowball/skull in his hand (left of TH/SS) are a bit meh. I can't comment on the fellow at the back, though.

I want to see a better picture of the guy with a skull.... not because I think it'll look any less gak, I just want to see if they really all Hamlet on him

The rules are not too bad, it's true that - FNP or not - they're a glass cannon, but at least you can give them an assault vehicle and being able to move+run+charge you'll basically have a guaranteed charge whenever you want. The comparison to CSM Warptalons or Posessed is simply insulting.

The models still look goofy and ugly to me, with unnatural and forced poses. I don't think that's any good considering this is precisely one of those flavourful units that I'd try to have as unique conversions if I were a SW player.

ah, okay. That does not help them be anymore appealing though. Hopefully I am wrong.

sorry, the original source removed the picture

O, how the mighty have fallen.

With GW's rule of "we must only have artwork of the miniatures". I can imagine one will tire of seeing the pack leader wolverine adorned in every. single. picture.

Civil war on Fenris?

translated Text:

For Millenia the 13th was last in the warp after they followed Magnus from Prospero. Now they are back and bring the curse with them. Fenris threatens a bloody war

Hmmm, a new campaign after only 3-4 months. Hopefully they keep this up. We are getting SW v. Daemons now, I wonder what will be next? Hoping for BA vs. Orks or Dark Eldar. They all could use a boost.
