I won't lie, I just hope there are some Primaris Space Wolves heads that don't look completely weird.

I'm really, really going all-out with my Deathwatch Kill-Team's Primaris Marines- to the extent that I'm making a 'standard with helmet' look, and a 'later in campaign, no helmet and battle damage' look.

So yeah, that's two models for every Specialist but whatever, it's cinematic and cool.

If this means my wolf primaris can finally all wield regular bolters and chainswords. I am all for it.

I sincerly doubt that'll be the case. as awesome as it'd be to have a "grey hunter interceptor equivilant" I expect space wolf primaris Marines will have minimal differance from vanillla primaris

My bet is it will be alongside the wolf codex and add a character model or two for them, then new units for the GSC as a pr3 iew for their codex, like the Armiger's in forgebane. It's also a handy way to use interest in the wolf book and army to prime people for the GSC later, while orks are popular enough to stand on their own.

I can't find the postings anymore, but didn't they flatout say that GSC were getting a release in advance of their book?

Aye, Kan - at the UK Games Expo GW Seminar, they previewed that GSC dude with the sign post as a weapon, and specifically said that he would be out in advance of the Codex, as they weren't announcing the GSC Codex in that seminar (but were announcing SW & Orks).

Given the usual GW approach is not to preview more than 3 months in advance, though, they are running out of options on when to release those two books - I was expecting them both by Sept 1, and I doubt we'll see either out on the same weekend as Titanicus...

^This! Btw. Lady Atia Said, Review on SW 'dex on the 18th, so that marks the pre-order date. Another thing to consider, next week is WHFest Europe, GW probably wants to have clean palte going into the next round of previews, shown there on the 18th.

Looking at pic geusss you’d get dreadnought, intercessors and new character for space wolves at least.

That is the Primaris Dread too.

If they are not Long Fangs, and don't have the option for a Chainsword (or better) they are not Space Wolves.

Well technically there cannot be Long Fang Primaris or any fangs really as Cawl fixed the flaw. Also I would guess this could be a case of careful what you wish for as I could see that this could be the 1st all Primaris codex after what's left of the original chapter got BLAMMED for being mutants and heretics.

She said a review on the 18th. No mention of what that review was for. A SW codex is certainly possible but not confirmed.

.. why? the space wolves geneseed is hardly THAT degenerate. I imagine ahrd questions might be asked about the wulfen but they're not gonna exterminate a first founding chapter.

Nice thats a good idea! Im not doing KT (for now), but my approach to Primaris SW was that all of them have helmets, the simplicity of the armour reminds me of starwars clones. Also going for the clean no battle damage look. But yes most SW heads are plain silly and would be nice if they take this chance to do something less weird.

Also if they put to much bling bling on the kits, which is something I do avoid on Primaris, I will stick with the current vanilla kits.

yeah I never did it but for my blood ravens my inital plan was to run a mixed old marine/Primaris force and weather the old marines armor to hell and back and make the Primaris armor absolutely pristine.

Only read it once but the last fluff when Magnus returned had the chapter massively depleted by combat and then Magnus spell that returned his planet to realspace also triggered the wulfen curse in all but the strongest willed space wolf. I think it mentions in one great company there was 5-7 non doggies left and they got killed completing there mission. Also a lot of wolves went full puppy right in the middle of the Dark Angels, Grey Knights and inquisition fleets among other witnesses.

I think you might be miss-remembering things. Much like all the people who remember Fenris was destroyed. Should pay more attention. A lot of what you just said is blatantly wrong. Both Svellgard and Fenris the Planet were re-settled by survivors from the Siege. The Space Wolves, Dark Angels and Grey Knights all took 'massive casualties'. But like every GW story these numbers are all extremely vague and they soldier on, much reduced but somehow always having enough. On top of that Post Siege of Fenris the SW recovered the Entire Heresy Era 13th Great Company. Stormbirds, Sicarins, Spartans, Fellblades and all. Which is probably greater in size than the SW Chapter was before the Siege.

From a sales standpoint I cannot see GW changing the SW overly much. Since 2nd edition they have been the second best selling marines behind Generic. Sure most if not all new kits will be Primaris. But that is because Primaris are the new poster boys. Personally I'm hoping for Intercessors with a free Chainsword upgrade, With a leader who has complete access to the normal set of Pack Leader weapons. Its not over the top, it lets them make a new upgrade kit, Since the current one works just fine for Primaris. The standard LT Primaris model that every other release got. And if we are lucky a new Ragnar (probably primarisized because as stupid as it sounds that is a thing).

keep in mind they got back the remnaints of the 13th company it sounds like a LOT of them died, fell to the wulfen curse or just dissappered. I suspect conveniantly the space wolves got back a decent sized force just big eneugh to reinstate the 13th company to their active duty list

Perhaps we get primaris grav razorbacks and hellblasters with storm missile array -cant get more spacewolf than that!

That said heresy era great armies were in the thousands, 13th was one of the smaller because it was made up of the fenrisians who helped russ conquer the other tribes.

But even with the 600ish wulfen they collected and several hundred heresy era vlka the space wolves should be way over codex numbers even with the losses suffered during magnuses attack.

Are those numbers actually in the novels (or whatever the source if any) or is that just a fanspank wild guess? I'd be surprised if GW committed to giving a number as opposed to just some wordy flourish if anything.

This week. I doubt this is the last primaris release of the year.

Look at the article - there's more to come. "Wulfen Dreadnoughts" are referenced, and that hellblaster looks like he's got Wolf upgrades.

Well, It is not a good sign that the new units mentioned were HH style terminators and Wulfen dread. These are all existing kits (Wulfen dread is most likely just generic version of Murderclaw.)

you can't honestly believe that won't be generic with a murdefang build

If the BA can have Death company Dreads why not a Wulfen one for the SW? It just means that the pilot(or what's left of him) has started to wolf out in his sarcophagus.


Oh and it looks like the SW Intercessor pack leader gets a chainsword on there upgrade sprue.
