Space Wolves Rumor Roundup

[40kGamer]

I would be well peeved if Grey Hunters lost the ccw, bolt pistol, bolters combo my entire great company is kitted out with a mix of weapons. Don't fancy rearming them just to suit poor codex writing!'

Right there with you. All of the rumors listed make wolves generic marines wearing furs... hopefully these wash out as false.

[Unionfootball067]

I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that murderfang is the new name for Bjorn's claws.

Murderfang is the name of the new dreadnought

[DWest]

-New SW Dreadnought w/ Rampage and Furious Charge. Ap2 talons with Shred.

It was if millions of Furiosos and DC Dreads with Blood Talons cried out in rage, and were tossed back into bitz boxes.

It was if millions of Furiosos and DC Dreads with Blood Talons cried out in rage, and were tossed back into bitz boxes.

And Helbrutes still cry...

[Bold or Stupid]

If all this is true I will be very happy. Nice to see the Helm of Durfast again

[TopToffee]

Absurd if Ragnar really isn't getting a new model.

[Charon]

Why "absurd"?
Look at the whole Eldar range. Most of the models are around since 2nd edition and never got an update.

[Agramar]

Think about this:Almost all "old models" are still on sale are Jes Goodwin's works.Jes Goodwin is today the head or one of the "big bosses" of Citadel Miniatures,so this slow renovation of models is related with him.How?I dont´t know.Royalties?No,of course but there is something related...

[MarneusCalgar]

Curious about that Logan´s wolven chariot
