40K RUMORS: The Wolftime Approaches
Selected rumors brought to the community warseer’s: BDJV and 75hastings69
Fasten your seatbelts. Talk on the tubes is the Sons of Russ are returning this October.
WOLFRIDERS?!
BoLS has been hearing talk of at least one unit capable of riding wolves and this might be it:
-The new trade order form lists Canis Wolfborn ($41.25) in the marine section.
He’s got a very big wolf in a not so weired way as that sounds.
-Wolfguard Leader/Wolfguard Bodyguard riding wolves!
EQUIPMENT
Always reliable Brimstone has been dropping hints:
-Lightning Claws pah, the Wolves of Fenris have no use for such items.
In relation to this recently released mini:
Others step in to say:
-They are called Wolf Claws in the new codex, you can choose to either re-roll to hit or to wound.
CHARACTERS
-Njal Stormcaller indeed is back, and with a new model, holding a gnarled staff out before him.
-Bjorn is back
MINIS
-2 new plastic kits:1 of them can be used to make pretty much every SW troop choice by combining the oooodles of spares on the sprues with normal vanilla marines kits (e.g. a box of devastators plus the extra from the sprues will make your Longfangs. IIRC there are around 30+ heads on the sprue!!! There may also be a special vehicle, but I’m not sure if it’s a complete kit or if there will be an upgrade sprue to add to the existing kit.
-Metal Wolfguard Bodyguard terminators
~Standard Caveats apply, but much of this is now multiple-sourced. It looks like this October timeslot falls just past the September 27th date for Gamesday UK. We have heard chatter that a lot of this will be formally rolled out there.
