Space Wolves Rumor Roundup

[Asymmetrical Xeno]

My thoughts;

We are possibly about to see the first campaign boxed set, models from two factions bundled together. I don't think this is a starter box at all, but an attempt to sell us minis we wouldn't otherwise buy.

I think you are 100% correct on this, bundle two factions together with (perhaps) a bit of discount and an exclusive model or two. Quite like the idea myself.

This "Monster and Handlers" concerns me. Why would they give us an MC when we clearly are in need of a flyer or AA more? Also why would they make Logan a LoW? He's expensive but an extremely viable HQ choice and should remain so. (AKA don't wreck my Loganwing lol) And are we of the universal (unconfirmed) opinion that we're going From Ork Codex, to Boxed Set, to SW Codex? I for one wouldn't be surprised to see a Games Wolfshop logo in the coming weeks....

I'm concerned about that too. I have a horrible feeling that our flyer will actually be a dragon. A freaking dragon. You know, cause a dragon in Dragongaze's Great Company is so painfully obvious they have to do it.

All I want is access to the Stalker and some type of fighter like the Thunder Budgie. I'm so sick of the wolves being portrayed as primitive and bring afraid of flying. They're the Wolves. Only Malficarum bothers them, and they ward that off and get on with their mission regardless of what they have to do or kill. That's their whole point of existence.

You don't need a flyer, Space Wolves don't trust flying, its been a long established part of the fluff, as for AA, well, they'll possibly get access to flakk missiles and maybe a stalker or hunter.

I think we're seeing the end of "HQ unlocks X as a Troops choice", with Unbound and al units being scoring, its not really needed anyway, there might well be a Logan's Terminator formation too, thats the direction the game seems to be heading for things like that.

Never really thought of the Great Companies as having numbers, more a shifting of seniority as Wolf Lords and company names/badges changed, but maybe that is just me. The 13th being an exception that proves the rule

Nonsense, SW fly perfectly well; teleportation on the other hand is a no-no.

It's the Thunder-thunder Wolf-wolf cavalry. A unit of Thunderwolves combines together into one giant wolf.

You mean teleporting. They don't like teleporting. They don't care about flying. Otherwise, they'd never leave Fenris.

I was hoping for a Thunderwolf Chariot!

Now I could support that, Armed with Astartes Grenade Launchers like on the scout bikes.

A dog sled, or rather wolf sled...

Sort of like Radagast the Brown's Hare sled but with more teeth, sounds fun...
