A unit of these guys in no way instagibs any of those. At least, no better than TWC do it already.


Unless they attack twice as a result of being killed off... in which case that has probably been a very worthy trade.

If I get any of these, I am definitely giving them shoulder pauldrons from a Grey Hunter pack. It solves most of the visual issues I have with them that I can do anything about short of a large amount of customizing.

We'll find out soon enough eh.

Yep, as expected, better pics confirm initial view; no thanks. I don't understand how they could mess these up, literally all they had to do was translate that brilliant piece of artwork into model form, instead we get quillhair, armoured booty shorts, ludicrous weapons, and pignoses :(

The one on the left is a pretty good Wolvering - but the rest are not selling to me - especailly at the price.

Man, they look... busy. I hope the heads are removable or swappable. I feel like they could be vastly improved with just regular marine heads. Not into the caveman vibe.

Wait, oh god they have soul patches.

I feel the models and poses are ugly. The portions are definitely off. Look a bit like bobble heads to me, and the arms are freakish. I like the rules for them though. They may only have a 4+, but they are multi-wound models. I feel like I would love to give them T5 in some fashion, but I suppose Invisibility would work just fine. I feel frost claws on them will be a thing with their I5 S5 Rage. But, hey I'm not a SW player so I could be wrong.

They are workable, I guess, but the fact that they have been granted gear that you would only see on veteran warriors like Wolf Guard really irks me. Not as much as being part of normal Space Wolf formations, but still doesn't sit right.

They were much better when they were marines too far gone to the Curse to even use weapons properly. The Thirteenth Company's great shame being used as a weapon against Chaos, because of their even greater-than normal resistance to the Ruinous Powers.

If I could justify the price, I could at least grow to like the Ice claws, if only because I would immediately paint them as steel claws, kind of like unpowered lightning claws being driven by their enhanced strength.

The death throws rule will indeed delete one of most knights. As they still get to hit even when they die.

Seeing that there are ten heads and a whole bunch of weapons in this kit (5 thunder hammers), buying a box of regular marines alongside this and making ten less busy Wulfen would look a lot better.
As a side note we have known for a while that the beginning of this year was fyreslayers and then space wolves, but we still don't seem to have any idea what is coming next. Are we getting new demon models?

Yeah, they're shamefully bad. Any time the tired "GW make the best models in the world!!!" line gets trotted out, these should be conclusive proof to the contrary.

At the very least they need fully armored legs.

Absolutely, that is what I will be doing.

They will match neatly with the old metal wulfen models that I have. And probably not look as gangly.

It all depends on the scale. If these things are significantly larger than regular Space Marines it could take significant conversion work to make regular SM legs fit without looking silly.

Termie legs should work.

The box of Beastmen were free and I've has the Grey Hunters for years. GW wants me to spend $240 on 20 dudes. Instead I'll spend $60. They don't hate me, but they don't love me as much as they could, haha.

I bet if you cut the lower legs off of some Assault Marines and glued them to the upper legs of these kits that they wouldn't look that terrible. Honestly, I was thinking of attaching the feet from these to regular armored legs. May take a bit more work, but is would at least make them look more like Space Marines. Then again, their 4+ Armor Save is explained by a lot of their armor missing/not fitting. I still would want to put the shoulder armor on, since what is a Space Marine without his shoulder armor?

we were wrong, they aren't over the top dialed to 11, they're dialed to 12.

still, headswaps can save a lot of these i think. have we seen sprue? are the heads on the bodies or separate?

The miniatures aren't as bad as I expected, but as most said, really not a fan of the foot. Not too high on the rules also, the hunter/killer table seems a bit of a mess. At first glance, using mathammer, they looked way OP points wise vs fellow assault units, but now that I tested them vs more units, they don't seem that bad, they're just OP compared to my Orks :(
