Pretty awesome mini's. Full of character, in stark contrast to the recent Blood Angels(imo).

I like everything else, but that Primaris armoured character looks derp af. It's like he was made during the lanklet marine era or something..

"The larger point though, is that as players, we have more control over what the game looks and feels like than most of us are willing to use in order to solve our own problems"
Njal looks like he is still wearing terminator arms. There is something off on the proportions I think. I might also avoid the little knives on guys armed with twin lightning claws
Otherwise, what a great looking load of angry beardies

So Wolf Guard now come in either power armour with axe/sword and shield (or axe/sword) or Terminator armour with... axe/sword and shield (or storm bolter).
Really great release for the wolves so far (if you look beyond the horrible painting style the sudio provide).
I have spent years rebuilding my space wolves in no-nonsense primaris style, I just start getting some wolf bling cravings.
Nice to see them going back to the really old power armour Njal, but the terminator Njal is simply one of my most favourite 40k models, so Im not really impressed.
They are all a massive improvement on their current/previous models.
Saying that...
I'm not a fan of some of the leg poses, they look awkward. This is something that I've noticed with some of the Emperor's Children releases too, many of the legs are splayed wide, like the designer is desperate to fill the width of the base.
as a SW player, none of those really gets me exited
yeah, finally true scale SW models, but except for the size not really different enough or so much better that I am gonna replace my current models with them
and still no proper Wolf Scouts
Harry, bring this ring to Narnia or the Sith will take the Enterprise
First new release in a long time that's made me think for a second "Hey maybe I would like that army!" despite the scale change with the rest of my collection. Grimnir in particular is a great model, just oozing atmosphere like the absolute best GW models can do at times.

Is he really that popular that people will spend 42 bucks for his glue free model from the Space Marine Adventures game?
Everyone is just so starved for Space Marine Lieutenant models.
Surely I can't be the only one who thinks it looks like someone put this guy's head in the wrong place?

You're not. If you're worried about your opponent using 'fake' rules, you're having fun the wrong way. This hobby isn't about rules. It's about buying Citadel miniatures.

this is how normal Marines fit into Primaris sized armour
I'm not all that familiar with Primaris lore.
Is there a reason they couldn't make armour that fits properly?

Terminator Armour never fits normally as the head was below the shoulders or the neck in a 90° forward, this is just the most recent "lore" on why the proportions for the armour doesn't git and with the SW models they somehow stick with it instead of making normal one (like the previous version)

On one hand, the new kits all look good- more detail and leaning into more viking and berserker look than werewolves and wolves as horses. On the other, 2 seperate kits for basic troops, 2 variants of wolf guard, and 5 characters so far makes this a bigger release than EC except for fulgrim

Russ confirmed?
No need with all the shiny new kits. And right after a different primarch.
Next edition Legions of the Damned supplement lead by Ferus Manus maybe?

LOL, I know you are joking, but please don't tease me with that, as it would be epic as heck.
I think Russ is unlikely at this point, as I'm sure his model would have been leaked or rules seen by some rumormonger. However, he MIGHT possibly be linked to a campaign instead? Four Chaos Primarchs to two loyalists is a bit unbalanced, and there are only so many loyalists they could pull out and Space wolves are one of the BIG named chapters. I mean, what are the other options? A daemon-like Corvus Corax that is part shadow (which actually would be cool, but low player base), or Vulkan that has finally healed and gotten therapy for his mental issues?

Russ coming with an end of edition narrative thing ala Lion is very on form.

I look at the SW minis and it feels like they let the sigmar sculptors loose for once. It has that dark intensity and gentle ability to reinvent the wheel that 40k releases rarely have these days.
Funny, I actually really liked the power armored reveals they did of the Wolves, to point I was thinking of grabbing some, but these Terminator ones just look...not that great to me. GW feels all over the place with Terminator armor, sometimes they seem to actually work a bit to fix the insane proportions of arms popping out of ears, and then the next terminator kit brings it back. Like man, maybe I gaslit myself into thinking otherwise, but I swear the new generic Terminators mostly fixed the proportion issues.
The new Wolf Terminators are surely built off the basic CAD bucks for the updated Terminator kit and the proportions seem to match. I think they look great but I wonder how flexible the kit will be. I don't need to collect SW but I'd love to make a Space Hulk/Boarding Actions force.
