Man I can't believe how long it is taking to get any new info on the second release. I am hoping foolishly that they amend the dreadnoughts and add something to wolf scouts, if not I am still excited for the fluff and my army is in a good place, I just want some more viable options beyond wolf guard grey hunters and thundercav/wulfen. I will say I am happy we got the 3 tank formations at least, 3 triple las preds really helps us against superheavies, no buying 3 is another tough hurdle at 60 a tank :/

When after Kauyon was Montka released? 5 weeks?

Really? I thought it was within like 2-3 weeks at most. Then again I dont pay much attention to the new releases these days.

If part 2 comes out in that same amount of time, then it should be out by now, but we are in an AoS wave, and wouldn't we have heard something rumor wise? Also if it is coming out wouldn't the plastic rubrics be released with them? I keep hearing that the plastic models wont be released until this summer at the earliest. I dont see GW waiting months after the campaign release to come out with the plastic rubrics. Of course I could be wrong. If I am, feel free to correct me.

Rather dissapointing that it looks like it will be more daemons and not 1K sons.

can't wait, PLease give me named 13th company characters. Sternhammer, Buleveye/wulfen lord. GImme

**Neronoxx**

That's old artwork. It doesnt indicate anything to come as far as releases go, so cool your jets skippy.

**Scorpionov**

really hoping tsons will get some new rules or throw the csm a bone or two cause frankly it is way unfair in terms of balance

Lol! Chaos Marines getting anything remotely good for once?! Hahahahahahahaha!

Doesn't matter how unfair the match-up is, GW only wants their poster boys winning so that Little Timmy can stroke his ego and keep his parents buying him scads of Space Marine/Space Wolf kits.
The role of Chaos Marines has almost always been to play 'effortless punching bag'.

I really don't get the hate for CSM because I've always found them to be a challenge on the tabletop. Yes, I know how to play the game, but we don't play to win, just have fun doing it. All the "useless" units that I've seen people overlook because points or whatever, actually perform very well!

Anyway, are there any more whispers in the rumour mill for this? I'm anxious to see how this plays out.

If nobody is playing to the best of their ability, any unit can look okay. The codex is garbage, and tournament results show that.

Yet the Sun still rises. Seriously can we have actual news in this Warzone Fenris thread as apposed to the same old tired chaos complaining derailing it? I also play Chaos BTW so I understand the issues but this isn't the place to voice those issues.

Nah, it's more that we're just setting our expectations about as low as is humanly possible...

This way, if things stay roughly the same rules-wise, there's no great disappointment.
On the other hand, if things improve even to say, the level of GK's/Ad mech/KDK, then we'll be that much more excited & over the moon about finally not being treated like the crispy-fried poop sandwich we've been for the past 10 years!

The Lost King

Part 1 of the War Zone Fenris Quick Reads series

You can get this story now from the Free Product section of your My Downloads page

Fenris is besieged, and the Space Wolves – with some unlikely allies – battle daemonic invaders across the system. When contact is lost with the Chapter Master, are the Space Wolves doomed to destruction?

THE STORY
The Fenris system, home of the savage and feral Space Wolves Chapter, is overrun by the forces of Chaos. On planets and moons armies of daemons manifest to enact a campaign of slaughter, and the Wolves are forced to defend themselves on all fronts. As the fighting escalates, all contact with Logan Grimnar is lost. Can the Space Wolves find their missing Chapter Master, or is he dead, as the daemons claim?

Legacy of Russ Subscription

Fenris is besieged, and the Space Wolves – with some unlikely allies – battle daemonic invaders across the system. When contact is lost with the Chapter Master, are the Space Wolves doomed to destruction?

SUBSCRIBE TO IT BECAUSE
It's the official continuation of the most exciting event to hit the Warhammer 40,000 universe in ages – discover what happened after the end of 'War Zone Fenris: Curse of the Wulfen' in a series of short stories that pit the Space Wolves against their most ancient and hated foes in a battle for their very survival…

**Chikout**

The call of Archaon and the Deathwatch quick read series both started about 6 months before the related products were released. If we follow that logic, we can expect Warzone Fenris part 2 in the autumn. This seems especially likely given Sad Panda's comments about this being the year of Aos.

author says...

Ladies and gentlemen, the wait is over! Starting today, and continuing until October, expect the continuation of the saga that started in Curse of the Wulfen, written by yours truly. The sequel novel will be serialised in eight ebook chapters, starting with The Lost King today. All eight will be collected into a full, physical novel at the end of the year. And best of all, the first chapter is free to download!

.. Russ' boys are in a tight spot though eh ?

**Nevelon**

1000-1 for the most probable outcome? Someone doesn’t know how to set odds.

I totally agree! Instead we should talk about how the Sisters of Battle really need a new Codex and an entire line of plastic models urgently!

15/1 An Ork WAAAGH!!! shows up and that's when things get knocked into 12th gear.

**Hybrid Son Of Oxayotl**

So, Logan Grimnar disappear, and his last word to his Chapter are “I am Alpharius”!
My fav' would be 10/1 though. Even if the Wolves somehow survive.

Gazhkull arrive, smacks Abaddon behind the hear, tell him “Crawl back to your hole to train some more” and then leave. Anti-climatic much? Reminds me of something

Nah. It's so that SW/Imperial players in general can feel that much more amazing about their army because they "overcame all the odds" and won in the end... somehow.

Gotta keep stroking that massive Loyalist ego and remind the Mary Sues how they always win in the end.

**greyknight12**

How about the GK show up and purge so I can get some new OP formations/units too?

Yeah, the GK show and save the Space Wolves. Like that'll happen.

**Fayric**

If this was Age of Sigmar, Id say the best ods was that the wolfes acended in to myrder ice wylfs -loyal steeds
for exalted systers of battle, to purge fenrys to the land of rainbow yce cream.

But now, yes, Loyalist Marines saves the day 2/1.

Rob Schneider thought being a Space Wolf couldn't get any hairier, but just when he's about to be promoted to Grey Hunter, an Ork WAAAGH!!! shows up and that's when things get knocked into 12th gear.

Rob Schneider is "The Blood Claw"

**Zywus**

Will the Space overcome the odds stacked against them?
It's almost as riveting a odds-overcoming endeavor as John Cena in WWE (who, come to think of it is very much the Space-Wolves of wrestling)

**timetowaste85**

Honestly, I hope the Space Wolves get obliterated. They're a bunch of jackasses.

+1 for a Daemon win!!

Well, the Grey Knights feature heavily towards the end of Part I, so it wouldn't surprise me if they got some formations in Part II.

Hopefully though, we don't regress back to the levels of 5th edition stupidity where games of Grey Knights vs. Daemons was an automatic curbstomping in the GK's favour...

**thejughead**

This is just a guess, but the culmination of the Fenris story at the end of the year does seem to setup a new CSM codex and a reason to launch a new edition of the game, if this is the 40k Endtimes.

Do you do anything besides derail threads and bitch? And people say Warseer is bad.

Let's stick to the topic please.
