I'm very glad snowballs are now weapons. There must be a krak grenade in it.

I need to see the sprues before I can say if they are any use. Above the waist they are serviceable, though 'Temba, his arms wide' will need his arms cut and reposed probably. If it will be possible to mate those torsos to normal space marine legs, then I can make it work. If not, the kit is useless.

The weapons bitz are always going to have uses, so even ONE kit isn't that bad a purchase.

That's what I'd be thinking if I played Space Wolves.

LOL. I gotta agree.

I actually love most of the modern space wolves models, but Thunderwolves are not my thing (neither is santa sleigh). It just doesn't fit my concept of a space viking. Maybe if it were a mechanical jetbike-wolf I'd love it more

40k aesthetics in general have started to lean closer towards fantasy than sci-fi. You know how the Tau just recently got new Pathfinders and Fire Warriors? Notice how they're barefoot?

Say gents, could we get some of these new guys to pull Santa Logan's sleigh instead of the mush-doggies-mush? That would be so EPIC. So FORGE YOUR NARRATIVE. So 2016.

2016: the year when Star Wars and Space Wolves died... Jesus...

aside from the fact that the Tau feet are exactly the same as they were before, yes, they are barefoot in spats...

gotta say, i really like the Thunderwolves...
they look pretty badass, and if Orks can ride boars, Puppies might as well have wolves

not a fan of the furry legs on the new Wulfen, though:(

cheers

wasn't the movie last year

And didn't the series already die back in 1999?

(or 1980 according to some because of the Ewoks)

It's....plastic. There is no sprue layout where parts would be useless for conversion work.

Ewoks were 1983.

So they were, whoops.

Oh, look. They have Original Fleet. The melee arms race is back on. This game is such a design clusterfeth.

Nothing new, Waaagh gives Orks old Fleet.

I mean, it isn't every turn... and never on units as good the Wulfen are but hey!

SWs are Possessed/Orks/Possessed Orks now.

It honestly wouldn't surprise me at this point. I'm so used to adjusting to stupid ideas when it comes to 40k that I just feel like that's actually a good idea. Just have the sleigh pulled by Wulfen. Let Black Library write fiction about how noble and selfless they are for doing it.

I'm hearing a rumor on /tg/ and spacebattles.com that Bjorn is scheduled to get whacked in a White Dwarf leak. Is there anything backing this up?

Thunderwolves are without a shadow of a doubt one of the most ridiculous concepts GW has ever come up, with an Canis Wolfborn riding a Giant Wolf and wielding Wolf Claws is one of the most egregious examples of GW's over-the-top-ed-ness.

However, the actual Thunderwolf models are perhaps one of the best executions of a dumb idea I've ever seen. I really like those models.

GW design employee- "USR. What does that stand for?"

I want to see the daemon decurion. Might expand my daemons if it has anything that interests me.

They should have clarified if they mean hes getting whacked off or whacked, being the fell handed and all.

I hope there is a cool/fun Tzeentch formation, please give me an excuse to start Tzeentch army, I can only wait for a LoC and Rubrics for so long.

He probably means killed in the storyline, which wouldn't affect your army. They won't remove him from the codex.

In what issue of White Dwarf, Wyzilla? We currently have leaked pages from issue 106 (basically the entire magazine) which do not say so. Those people should show pics that do first and not make stuff up.

Warhammer 40K has never been sci-fi, it's always been fantasy in space, just like star wars. In fact I hate the tau for being too sci-fi for the setting. I'm glad they steer away from technology in 40K

2016: the year when Star Wars and Space Wolves died... Jesus...

The new Star Wars film was really good. If this movie killed the franchise for you, and not the prequels then I don't know what to say...

I really hope there is nothing to the "killing Bjorn" as it would just make an excuse to remove him from future Codices.

When I play 40k competitvely its one thing, but for fun I love fielding SW Dreads and having armies led by Bjorn, etc... Great model... and i'm still rocking the old 1lbs of metal Bjorn. :-p

The problem I have is that 'original Fleet' was originally intended as something to give to armies with Low Toughness and/or Armour that had to get into assault.

Fluffwise it made sense on Dark Eldar, Eldar and Tyranids - who really have (or had) paper thin transports and had to run into the maw of ignores armour that is the basic armament of anything in power armour in this game.

But they....they gave it to Wulfen. Who have a 4+ save (which is quite solid tbh - certainly better than the elite assault units of most Xenos armies), the option to buy the best Invuln save in the game (Storm Shields) and access to a flying transport. Oh, and Space Marine toughness. And FNP. And can strike back after they've died.

It's like...what? They have ALL those forms of 'evasion' to help them....and you give it to them? Not to...say...DE Wyches...or Tyranid Genestealers....really?

They get it with the their next Codex
Because it makes sense to remove it first it give it back later.....

edit: as has been pointed out, these are conversions

edit 2: definitely conversions, they're apparently from Golden Demon France 2015

Poached from /tg/

Those are conversions
