Damn. Space Wolves are looking awesome. And just when I'd sworn off them and sold some OOP stuff on eBay (including a games day wolf priest new in box! )

I'm really angry they put the Wulfen on 40mm bases. Seriously, why?

If they're on 40mm bases it feels like they're as big as Gal Vorbak for 30K

I mean they're about as big as Marines, right? Why put them on Bases twice as big as they should be on?

Like a lot of you I am thinking Blackmanes might be the core (pardon the pun) of a very competitive list.

If my math is right, it has a minimum points cost in the realm of 850pts, which nets you ten free pods. Yes they are minimally useful units, but 20+ units of chaff covering the table, leaves 1000pts for say TWC and Wulfen, and a mountain of table control on your very first turn.

I don't think it would be a fun army, per se... but I can definitely see it being very successful at big tournaments.

I love that people were bitching about no free transports. But the Blackmanes get them with half the needed models and all of them come in T1. That is going to be absolutely brutal. The supreme Drop Pod army has arrived.

I wonder if there has been any updates to the Claw units to WS4/BS4.

Please let Blood Angels get an update of this caliber, GW!

Yeah, no kidding. ALL of them showing up on T1 is just crazy awesome. It would have been crazy awesome even without the pods being free.

If the Space Wolf stuff turns out to be too powerful, I'm sure the ITC will act quickly to nerf Tau.

I see there is a Chaos Daemon release coupled with this for rules and spells - that aren't included in the Chaos Daemon Codex. Really feels like DLC come to 40K

You are 2 years too late to argue about that.

new GW video for the book came out. some things i noticed with the power of the pause button


Iron Priest has 2 wounds with no mount but increased to 75pts base
pistol is 20pts
new hellfrost hammer is only 5pt upgrade
can still take mount

Ulrik stays what looks like the same

Krom can now re-roll failed saves within 3" of an obj
his eye also allows him to re-roll wounds

the wolfkin auxillary formation gives the whole thing monster hunter and outflank
and you can combine all units into one big unit if you have more then 20 it gives +1 attack to the unit

you may also bring in a unit that is already outflanking from the side closest to them without rolling.


that is all i could get as the pause would not work for me while it was sliding the pictures in.

Hi guys!

I am back and released from my duties.

There is still plenty stuff to be revealed.

Where should we continue?

Can you confirm that iron priests are now 75pts?

Do Space Wolf Scouts still have special weapons(Meltaguns and Plasma Guns)?
Are the Legendary Great Packs or whatever they're called restricted in any way?

Could someone try to separate the formation and great pack data sheets from the video? My internet is too bad to do it

How many attacks have dreadnoughts? How about their weapons upgrades costs?

Can you please let us know what the Nurgle relics and psyker powers are,please?

Hi Iuchiban

Also: There is now a Codex: Spaces Wolves - Wulfen Edition (Enhanced) sample available as iBook and eBook. Ulrik is on the cover.

This could get a printed release. I'm currently downloading it and checking if the appendix is complete.

Hi Iuchiban, could we please have the Slaanesh and Nurgle artifacts and psi-powers please?

Half the Wulfen look like they are staggering drunks. With it being Space Wolves I'm ok with this, just need to green stuff in some bottles.

Here, have an Exalt.

Scouts do not appear in the book, so they remain 100% the same.

Predators, Whirwinds and Vindicators get same treatment as space marine codex.

Dreadnoughts do not appear. So they dont have 4 attacks.

Thanks for the info...

Iuchiban I know that certain people would buy you beers if you went in the Daemons thread and detailed Tz formations!!

What are the requirements and bonuses of the legendary great pack formations?

Can we get info on the Daemons formations?

Sorry wolves players to hijack your thread but I second this question:

So would landspeeders count as vehicles? Does this mean you can pick the base speeder and add a multimelta and assault cannon for free? (and keep the base price of 50 pts) If so this does give us a bit of much needed firepower.

you can see most of the new rules if you pause at the right spot.

Iron Priests are 75 points, but get a stat boost, and an extra wound

I believe that would be how it works, it says all Iron wolves vehicles.

Englishfury- so if I wanted to take a lone wolf, I would have to purchase a drop pod from the FA slot to embark him (since he doesnt have a dedicated option)- what about things like blood claw bikers- I assume you couldnt take them as BCs as you cant put bikes in any transport options?

Okay, through the power of the pause button I've gotten info (but not a lot) on the Daemons formations:
Murderhorde: already seen
Gorethunder Battery: already seen
Warpflame Host: seems to consist of pink horrors and flamers
Burning Skyhost: has screamers and some other things
Tallyband: Seems to be plaguebearers
Rotswarm: has plague drones
Flayertroupe: Daemonettes
Grand Calvarade: Not sure, probably seekers
Infenal tetrad: 4 daemon princes
Forgehost: multiple soul grinders?
Luchiban if you could give us more info on these formations (preferably starting with Tzeentch) that'd be awesome
