pretre Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 I was just saying to myself, isn't it about time they pulled another 3 SM units out of thin air and pretend they've always been there? But... but... this time it's actually true! Time flows strangely in the Eye.Let's hope the things these lost brothers hunted won't be following them back out later this year. February is coming, so are Space Wolves Sad Panda - Dakka Warhams-77 wrote:It was. Space Wolves-related? Yes.Tyranids in January is nonsense. Fyreslayers.Imp. Guard in February is nonsense. Space Wolves.Not counting possible 1-week things (think Seraphon), only multi-week releases. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/390/670756.page#8283997 Darnok - Warseer ForumI've been told the SW will not get a new codex, but an expansion book - I guess similar to the last Tau update. There will be new models, but I have no details about them (yet). http://www.warseer.com/forums/showthread.php?415310-Space-Wolves-in-February-2016&p=7596541&viewfull=1#post7596541Less reliable sources: Bell of Lost SoulsThere’s a new set of scuttlebutt doing the rounds on the return of the Space Wolves Grimdark Fans:Sources have relayed to BoLS that the Space Wolves are returning this year, but there are some big caveats: Look for the Space Wolves to return in the first half of the year, before summer arrives. This will be a minor “reboxing release” Look for some originally limited edition models to make their way into the standard SW range. Look for mostly reboxings with updated bases and the like. There is no current word on an updated codex.So this sounds like a 1-week kind of release sandwiched in between other larger releases, similar to say the Age of Sigmar Sylvaneth release window last year, or perhaps the Grey Knight release, if there is a codex to go along with it.But no, the Space Wolves aren’t shaping up to be a giant Tau sized miniatures and campaign book overhaul.~ What do you think the Space Wolves most need? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestRider Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 What I think SW need: Updated Dreads and Scouts, maybe touch up a few other things, add Formations and a Decurion. What I want SW to get: An MC. There was fluff in the 3rd Ed Dex about Fenrisian Wolves the size of Rhinos. I want those XD 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Hanaur Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Space Marine dreadnoughts are quite effective now. 4 attacks each? Yikes. they beat the crap out of me a couple times already. Pretty darn good. Won't underestimate them anymore, I can tell you that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Hanaur Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Chaos Daemons dont need anything before Chaos Marines get theirs. Just saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbusePuppy Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 I thought Chaos Marines were totally fine if you knew how to play with them? Why would they need an update? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Hanaur Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Both things are true: They are fine if you know how to play them AND they need an update. Some things like their Psyler restrictions and # attacks on their walkers and so on need to get updated.It's time for them/ before Daemons.

WestRider Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 I think what he's trying to say is that he feels it's only their internal balance that needs correcting, not external. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbusePuppy Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Except the number of attacks on walkers is a purely external-balance issue, so if that's what he's saying he's doing a really poor job of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Hanaur Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Um...I dont know what point you're TRYING to make but I said what I meant clearly enough for anyone who wants to understand it to understand it. Some of the things inide the codex need to be changed because a 2 attack Maulerfiend no longer makes sense when 4 attack dreads are about. Thats just a common sense thing. Psyker powers and the whole Psychic focus issue is another. You can point to "no Formations" although you dont actually need those to win with it. And you can point to some small nit picky unit option things. Tzeentch needs help. If there's one faction that needs help its them and maybe giving them back their second wound would be the ticket. They used to have two. No way to reliably deep strike is an issue and one that banners used to handle. they're formerly Space Marines. would make sense for that to be in their arsenal. You dont NEED reliable deep strikes to make ue of the tactic so its not NECESSARY but it makes sense. So you both can win with them now and they do need some changes to fix the equation with similar things that have NOW been powered up since the codex was written. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generalripphook Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 I feel like there is no reason to argue over this. Can Chaos win battles? Yes, do they need updates to be more reliable? Yes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It affects the value of Helbrutes relative to other Units in the CSM Dex, making them a more attractive option, without touching the few Units the Dex currently relies on to maintain what viability it has. How is that not an internal balance issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PourSpelur Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 I always thought that the correct fix to Chaos Marines was: 1) Make a Marine army 2) Paint mustaches on all your guys 3) Laugh menacingly while playing 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Hanaur Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 Goatees are also an option for step 2. You're not wrong. Snidely Whiplash and his doughty Khorne Berzerkers are on their way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AbusePuppy Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 "That's no three-wolf moon." On the one hand, I'm happy SW are getting something to maybe make them worth using. Without Grav, without a Battle Company, without even any particularly-good formations, they're arguably the weakest of the loyalist Marine factions right now. On the other hand, the last thing we need is more niche plastic models for also-ran armies when Tyranids, CSM, SoB, and DE are sitting in the garbage can.
