He also states that the resin turrets fit the plastic body just fine, but work is needed to fit the plastic turret to the resin body.

Believe me you ain't the only one waiting on those MkIII.

My e-mail has been completely silent too.

This would be one of those times where a little transparency from GW would go a long way. A simple announcement stating they've got a shipment on the way to the US by ship would help, especially if they went so far as to name the ship so people could use a ship tracker website to see how long it takes.

That opens up a lot of nonsense that the shipping services, insurance and ship companies would not want to deal with.

Hard to tell if that side on photo is completely side on, if it is the plastic one is slightly more narrow on its angles which I like, the old one does look a little brick like next to how tight the kratos slope is.

With the Mk iii, is it possible that they have breacher and destroyer upgrade sprues designed for them, and so are waiting to put out the unit box resupply at the same time?

I don't mean the shortage was planned, but seeing as it's happened they might think 'may as well make an event out of the return'.

it's possiable but every unlikely, the MK VI design is what will get breacher and despoiler kits, the MK IIIs already have those upgrades in resin on forge world

Early, initial 2-3 games at 1000pts between friends, learning more than anything tactical or for winning, do YMMV.

1. Dreadnaughts are powerful, with a lean on perhaps being TOO good. Brutal is really powerful, and the change into being a 'monstrous creature' rather than 'Hull Point' makes them far more durable. Our group believes the new changes are definitely required, but the points need to be increased (as they are essentially the same from HH 1.0)

2. Whover wrote the legion rules needs a kick in the dick. They all smack of different writers not following the same sheet. If and SoH rules are great, Salamanders and RG are awful. Worse, a lot of the rights of war actively go against or simply do next to nothing. A serious buff or rules change is required ASAP for legions that SIMPLY READING THE Rules shows how awful they are.

3. The nerf to the 'pie plates of death' and general lack of spammable AP2/3 has been welcome. Terminators are tough, power armour is resilient, and the game feels more about infantry slogging it out with tank support, dreads fighting and actual brother on brother slaps than 'arty dumping phophex bs.

4. Adding onto 3, the nerf to plasma and the new breaching mechanic in general, we like it. Reduces the plasma weapons universal affectiveness from deleting terminators and dreads. However, Melta still seems weak, needs a buff of some kind, especially in smashing dreads.

5. Lastly, the 'Line' mechanic for scoring, pretty good, perhaps needs to be given to more units in rights of war, but so far, seems to be working well.

Look who's been a good boy:

These might be... controversial

...nnnnnope

Those are gloriously bananas.

Looks okay. You'd only want one pack of those heads for your 40 AoD marines, additional variation would have to come from another legion set. Only okay though, could have been done better (looks a little goofy imo).

Even the shoulder pads look strange...

I've loved all the other Legion upgrade heads and shoulders so far, but these are a (wide) miss for me.

One wolf's head helmet might have been OK, but not all the same.

Hahaha, oh dear, they're very stupid.

I expect to see some people having fun converting up furry marines with them for laughs but they were a bad idea.

Turns out the Wulfen are not the most shameful secret the Space Wolves harbour..... and here was me hoping that HH would not fall for the wolf wolf wolf trap

Generally, they haven't. Unit wise they're still much more Viking-inspired than "we only have one word" inspired and apart from being able to take Fenrisian Wolves as an upgrade in HH 1 (not sure if they still can) everything was much more Norse.

Finally, Power Fursuits.

Yeah... that's not a good look for the Wolves.

Reminds me of the half skull 'wolf' tattoos* that started making the rounds some years back. The owners think they're really rad, but its all kind of sad, instead.

These go really well with Santa Claws and Murderboatface, but they feel really tone deaf for 30k.
Another waste of Heresy Thursday that we can mark off the list.


*the skull is actually based on raccoons, because they have relatively heavier jaws than the narrow skulls of wolves. It looks more intimidating (for the kind of people that go in for that sort of thing).

Just when I thought Space Wolves had a chance... GW once again goes all in on Puppies in Space. fething stupid.

Also don´t listen to GW to paint your space puppies grey. They were always meant to be painted in glorious tentacle pink.

Oh damn that is so funny! Another humiliation inflicted upon the wolfy wolves. Guess they still have bad karma since their 2nd 40K codex.

I always thought GW was hunting for whales. Seems they want to exploit the furry community too.

It doesn’t happen often, but this is one of those rare occasions where I look at a GW release and actually laugh at how stupid it looks.

In fairness, they have two. Wolf and Ice.

Yeah … I know we shouldn’t expect much more than a nod to actual science in 40K, but I’m still baffled by how shooting coldness actually works.

These are just bafflingly terrible. This is the kind of stuff that the furry lovers go to thingiverse to print; not the stuff I expect from GW.

I feel bad for folks who have been long time space wolf fans, only to see them get continuously dunked on with just unbelievably cringeworthy lore/models. Probably the only legion to get more dunked on (in the stupidity sense -- not regarding battlefield victory/loss) than Iron Hands, if only because they actually *make stuff* for space wolves (although I'm guessing long time space wolf fans wish they'd stop, lol).

Put diamonds in a fancy gun and make bad puns.

Weird. I've never really liked Wolfhelm helmets... until this ones.

seems heresy era space wolves continue to suffer with bad looking sculpts. Between the sausage fur varagyr, the invert bolters and these helmets…

No! That movie also never happened, just like these stupid helmets. That don’t exist.

Arnie is the absolute best thing to come out of that movie. His puns are glorious.
