40K: 5 Space Wolf Additions We Want To See
We know the Wolves are on their way back to the tabletop – but here are some additions we are wish-listing for the sons of Russ!
The Space Wolves are on deck when the new batch of codexes drop. They have been through some “stuff” in the new edition – the Fenris system got smashed pretty good by Magnus and his sons. While the Wolves are far from dead, they have plenty of reasons to carry a grudge. Here’s a few things we’d like to see them get in their upcoming codex.
Primaris Space Wolf Kits
Blood Angels Primaris Upgrades
We all know that Space Wolves have access to Primaris Marines already. They are in the Index and that’s no surprise. We’re just hoping that Space Wolves get the same style upgrade packs as Blood Angels. But with more facial hair and Wolf Skulls, of course!
Gravis-Armor Close-Combat Squad
You know what unit we still don’t have for Marines that would fit perfectly with the Space Wolves? A Close-Combat orientated squad wearing Gravis Armor and wielding melee weapons! I want to see Gravis Armor get used for more than just a ton of shooting – I want Lightning Claws/Thunder Hammers/Power Weapons galore! And don’t tell me the Space Wolves wouldn’t do just that.
Primaris Wulfen
Look – we all know the Space Wolves Gene-seed has some…issues. Let’s not ignore that (like GW did with Blood Angels Primaris and the Black Rage). I say, embrace it and let’s get crazy in here – Mohawks, beard-braids and uni-brows all around! Aside from how “awesome” those models could look, let’s think about the combat implications for a moment. Combine Wulfen fighting prowess with the Primaris genetic “upgrade” and tell me we aren’t going to get an explosively violent combination. You know you want it.
Primaris Drop Pod
There is something that has been bugging us here at BoLS since we first learned about Primaris Marines and their lack of transport options. HOW THE HECK TO THEY GET INTO BATTLE!?! They don’t ALL ride freaking Repulsors! They can’t all WALK! Are they forced to ride in their own “special” Thunderhawks down to the planet’s surface?! How do those conversations even go?
Tactical Marine A: “Sorry Primaris Marine, seats taken.”
Tactical Marine B: “Yeah nu-Blood. Get your OWN ride. ”

Sure, the Repulsor is no joke… other than it looks like a Land Speeder and a Land Raider got drunk at Valentines day and one thing led to another. Uh, sorry for that visual. The point is that it’s time Primaris Marines got a transport that doesn’t involve a Rob Liefeld level of Guns bolted on. And the Space Wolves are the perfect army for them to implement them. They hate Teleporters anyways. Plus they are used to cleaning-up after the Thunderwolf Cavalry. You ever try to Febreze away Thunderwolf smell? It doesn’t work!
Leman Russ
I mean, do I even need to explain this one?
Space Wolves – Give us Russ and some crazy new close-combat kit! (And maybe another transport for the Primaris).
