That page really just says: Space Wolf players you don't really need this book at all.

Unless, of course, you actually want to field any of the new units, or have the latest revised/updated rules for any Primaris units you field.

That said, I’m not bothering with the main dex until the SW supplement arrives.

Sure. No chapter tactic for you and losing tons of stratagems if you don't have the book. Not many vehicles either

Yeah, that bit essentially says "Space Wolves are Primaris only until the Supplement".

Guilliman isn't in the main Codex since he's an Ultramarine unit. There are no Special Characters in the main Codex.

And that means no one else should use them because? Look, we had a thread about what to do about the super heavy auxiliary detachment a couple weeks back in general, maybe it would be more appropriate to discuss this there? But I'd just like to point out that I don't play renegades, I play Legionnaires, and Legionnaires use Legion weapons, like super heavys.

Legionaries, as in these guys who had their arses kicked from Terra to Eye of Terror and ran with tails between their legs abandoning all that stuff? These ones?

Because outside of fanfiction, it makes no sense for them to have any of that stuff left. If it wasn't abandoned in some hasty escape, blown up in battle, then it simply broke down and fell apart from lack of maintenance and spare parts in the meantime. Even CSM and Terminator armor of the traitors is cobbled together from whatever spare parts they could loot, and you think they can field superheavy detachments? How? They are lucky to have a dreadnought or predator from legion days, even the bands that still have them are mostly fielding random looted vehicles, not 30K armored companies...

You know right chaos has planets dedicated to producing new stuff? What with half the guys who made equipment in 30k going chaos...

Logically it's imperium that has lost tech while on chaos side there are literally same guys who produced stuff 10k earlier doing stuff again. There's people there who know how tech works and not just follow 1000's years old rituals.

Yes. The Chapter Restrictions only lists that they can't have Sternguard and Vanguard.

Honestly, a bit surprised the Heavy Destroyer had two gun options; same with the ATV. The floaty bit is a bit odd, but if the Lokhurst lord ends up with good rules, it looks easy enough to swap out the body with something to convert one up.

I've realised from the list of restricted units that Space Wolves can now take "normal" Scouts. Something tells me that separate, veteran Wolf Scouts are no longer a thing in rules terms, even if they're still there in lore...

Just do a fething Wargear list GW. It's not hard.

Agreed. I love primaris marines, but GW's rigid requirement that the only wargear options be the official models is EXHAUSTING. The Primaris Captain is the worst, IMHO. Just let them have weapon options already.

The thing I find most strange about it is that they've decided to use the two worst options:

either the poxy 'this that this not that or this'
AND
entirely separate datasheets for one or two changes.

yet not just opt to do a simple table or a wargear list.

But at the same time they've learned how to format the points section for readability and usability and organize and color-code strats.

Someone on the editing team is clearly letting the side down, because most of the book is a definite improvement when it comes to user access.

It’s just giving the segeants the same options as the non vet versions, but has to be extra wordy because of vet serges being able to have two different default loadouts.

Well list can't be done so that it allows say plasma pistol and thunder hammer if there is no such model. How would you do such a list?

Oh, I understand that. But I was kind of expecting them not to be able to take normal Scouts at all yet.
If Wolf Scouts end up arriving in the supplement? Then they'll be able to take two kinds of Scouts, which breaks their fluff. I don't see it happening.
