Space Wolves Rumor Roundup

Unless MOTW is in the mêlée weapons section of the wargear list?

6 HQ? And I'd thought 4 was good in the past. Send forth the heroes!

I know what you mean, the Venerable Dreadnought kit is a fantastic example of utility, with three options out of the box, whereas this boils down to Logan mounted, Logan on foot.

On they other hand GW have discovered a way to charge probably about 40 quid for a single special character, or will Logan be available without his chariot?

I cant imagine this is a single use model, it's such a very limited need piece. Aside from some conversion uses, only space wolf players that want to run logan, and then only one will be bought. The new Wolf Dreadnought however has 3-4 possible uses, thus enticing players to buy more then one, same for the new flyer. In fact, you would have to go quite a ways back to find a new unit that was only a single option/use box set.

Umm, are we both working of marneus' pics? None of the pics I saw had the mêlée weapons list...

That makes a lot of sense. That's a single £40 for each Space Wolf player who doesn't have an old Logan and/or wants the new one, from which they need to recoup design and production costs as well as make a profit. Thinking that way, may well be likely we see it has a second use.

Is this where Barney Stinson steps in and says "haaaave you met my friend [URL="http://infinitythegame.com/store/imagenes/articulos/280006-0485_2.jpg"]Operation Icestorm[/URL]?"

The santa sled is pretty funny, though.

RIP mark of the wulfen, you will be missed by this old long fang.

I think my Guardsmen lost quite a few in the transition to the new name.

BA lost Moriar?

Are you discounting things where rules exist and models don't, like Cluetin,

I had actually forgotten about that...poor moriar
