its because space wolves deserve and need a new codex, the other marines didn't

because they wouldn't make as much money off of those codex's.

Yehh me too, but that section in the Vampire Counts book is really cool, and useful for creating hardcore vampires :)

Contrary to many whiners' opinions SW have always been balanced. There are enough disadvantages to the SWs to offset the advantages. I'm sure the new codex will be the same.

As far as guard goes, you're way off base. I have played guard since 3rd Ed. and the guard have never been as much fun to play. I play against other guard armies once or twice a week and I have yet to play against the same list twice. There is plenty of variety.

"Sorry, but it still sounds like an over-inflated fanboy 'dex. Any chapter or Legion could be made into this"

Pfff, let those space wolf players have their fun. You got a codex in 4th ed, they didn't.

Mm.. the first thing I thought of when I saw "sagas" was the vampire counts book. Still, I think it sounds like a perfect idea for space wolves, and he may not necessarily want to play fantasy

I kinda liked the old SM book (the previous ed not the OLD codex) It let you make a certain specific chapter "feel" army but it threw some punishments in there for doing so!

I am also getting tired of the SM + theme! IMO there needs to be a balance. You can have all the cool special chapter specific stuff but you should loose out on some of the other things. Loose certain squad choices or limit the amount or something to make it unique and different and not just the upgraded package.

I have noticed the lack of variety in any other army as well. Chaos Marines are only one type ( no specific chapters, Night Lords, death guard etc) and the guard are now all the same as well. (sure they have catachan models but they play the same as any other list you will get out of the dex)

It would be nice if they went back to Chapter approves or more "official" mini dexs. But thats just me!

unfortunately they are my only army, i do have access to a small eldar army but it needs another wave serpent or two, never played eldar before so i don't know how they will go for me, something tells me the adjustment from my rampaging horde of drunk marines to space elves will not be an easy one, ah well i have a few months to work out what i am doing

Must have been first. I have the second ed SW book in front of me and it mentions the Primarch being super human, swept away ect...

Re: 40K Rumors: Latest Space Wolves

Bulwark — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 20:33:08 -0000

I believe 1st edition (maybe 2nd?) had them as normal humans. The whole Primarch thing came later.

yeah, in terms of all that is left, wolves are the easiest, al they need is a sprue or two, and a redo of some metal special characters.

Dark eldar, and sisters/knights need an entirely new line of modelsand as for necrons, I don't know if they are plastic or not.

dark eldar are logicly next, and they need an entire new model range, recuts would simply not do. and as such, wolves are the next easiest and quickest army to do.

Cheers Vindur - at least someone appreciates the subtle art of irony...

mathhammer — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 16:35:21 -0000

all they need to do to fix my sisters and GK is fix dedicated transports and storm shields.

necron and dark eldar need redone, the dark eldar codex for example makes me think of the 80s again.... ahh those were the days....

?? I have, I play them....

The Chaos codex has some nice fluff basis when you look at if from the fact that it was intended to represent Renegade Marine armies as a whole and thus why it has a more generalist feel. But I do agree with what I believe you are trying say is that the codex doesn't do a great job of it. The Codex was very rushed but then that's the Orks fault seeing as their release windows were supposed to be swapped but because of problems with some of the new Ork sprues the Chaos codex was pushed forward 4 months.

Well, yes. In Rogue Trader times, that is.

Mark of the wulfen is an option in the current dex so I say they'll probably keep it alright. Probably with a rule change.

AHA! nicely done :)

Try Warhammer Fantasy!

Shin_Ra — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 14:58:09 -0000

i imagine that a draw back if the codex is getting fluffy would be much like the Red-thirst for the Blood Angles; the mark of the wulfen.

Re: 40K Rumors: Latest Space Wolves

Spun — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 14:57:34 -0000

Ahh no. Primarchs were created as Primarchs, not turned into them like a space marine.

Sorry.

Also, wasn't he originally an IG commander along with Guilliman? As in, not Primarchs, just an average Joe with a large cape?
