Sweet. I knew I made the right choice whenI went for the IronWolves! Kind of curious about how that restriction works with Scouts and Lone Wolves tho.

 

Scouts do not appear in the book, so they remain 100% the same.

 

Predators, Whirwinds and Vindicators get same treatment as space marine codex.

 

Dreadnoughts do not appear. So they dont have 4 attacks.

That's just crap, tho. Wolf Scouts are badly overpriced, and the SW CC specialist Dreads are unimpressive compared to even a basic SM Dread.

[pretre]

Sweet. I knew I made the right choice whenI went for the IronWolves! Kind of curious about how that restriction works with Scouts and Lone Wolves tho.

It's probably a cut and paste problem. All of the company formations have the same allowances and this one is the same. Basically, you won't be able to take them.

[WestRider]

Wasn't actually planning on it (since they didn't fix Scouts), just amused by the sloppy wording as much as anything. Altho it would be kind of cool to be able to get extra Razorbacks for Lone Wolves and/or get LS Storms added in.

 

Have we seen the DeathWolves yet? Do they get extra TWC?

[pretre]

No, some outflank thing. I was disappointed.

[Ser Warwick]

In the same vein as the Scouts and Dread, are our Claws still the most inept of the Astartes initiates? (WS BS 3)

[BrainFireBob]

Looks like they are trying to make assault work again. Well, this rounds out the Wolf players pretty well. My Marines are solid, but holding a brighter and brighter hope for my Chaos.

Yes, from what we've heard.

Spoilers for new SW Novel

 

 

via Weyrell from the Faeit 212 inbox
Just read the novel and wow ... a very brief, summary:

·         Wulfen return in a bow wave of daemonic incursions within the Fenrisian systems.

·         SWs track the incursions and dispatch all but one of the great companies to bring their lost brothers home. Grey Knights track them all too.

·         Hints at their return being pre-ordained before the 13th went missing and their return being a precursor to the "end times" and the return of Russ.

·         The pattern of incursions is in the shape of a sigil used by the sorcerers of Prospero meaning "Vengeance"

·         Dark Angel scouts are slaughtered during the first incursion and vid-caps of Wulfen retained, investigations and suspicions of heresy and mutation within the Wolves abound

·         Flames are fanned by the Changeling and eventually the bulk of the Dark Angels fleet including THE ROCK arrive supported by a dozen other chapters including the Ultramarines and Iron Hands.


·         Book ends with the bombardment of Fenris commencing



There is a fairly quick escalation to it within the story but not as instantaneous as I fear I made it look. The DA, spurred on by the Changeling, believe that the Fenrisian systems have fallen to a daemonic incursion brought about by the fall of the Wolves. The implication is that they and their allies are rocking up to purge everyone, not just the Wolves. 


The Wolves don't do themselves any favours by treating the Wulfen with the same secrecy as the Dark angels treat the Fallen. The hypocrisy is not lost on me. The Grey Knights, well Stern really, seem to be the arbiters of reason is this. 

Bjorn is mentioned a fair bit but in the end Ulrik simply says he can not be roused

Alpha Legion is indeed there but in a smaller role than I would have thought.

Krom re-release

 

[Gorgosaurusrex]

Sweet. I knew I made the right choice whenI went for the IronWolves! Kind of curious about how that restriction works with Scouts and Lone Wolves tho.

 

Don't you just need enough space in your Dedicated Transports to fit them? For example, if I have a 5-man Blood Claw squad with a dedicated Land Raider Crusader, they are only using 5 out of 16 transport capacity. The extra 11 transport capacity could be used for Wolf Scouts or Lone Wolves. Just a thought anyway, I have no idea if that's how it works.

[pretre]

One squad per transport.

[InfestedKerrigan]

If it can't carry a squad and a dread, or two squads, I'm not interested.
