REAL WORLD: Bolters are Real!
You don't see a codex for every IG regiment, Chaos Sect,Eldar Craftworld, Ork Tribe, and Tau Sept. and in a way this is unfair to every other army who end up paying to be second class punching bags for the Emperah's finest. Hello, Dark eldar, Witch Hunters, and anyone else nutured by 5th edition.
But one thing I have always wished for is that GW get rid of the ,one codex at a time over the course of few years, paradigm. Especially when not all codexes get updated before a new rules edition comes out. To me thats just bad business.
Instead I wish they took a more Privateer Press approach and updated there whole universe and timeline at once, equally, across all factions. You come out with a big book and the main minis and characters for each faction and then slowly roll out more minis from the book over time - again, equally across all factions.
Granted that this approach would be more cumbersome for GW than it is for PP, but GW has more resources to bring to bare on this.
I think it would make the player base alot happier in the long run.
Weather this is intentional or not isn't my concern but for people who play 40k alot this turns into "Codex de-jour always dominates the game" and it just rolls throuh each book. When the new chaos came out they were on top of the tourny lists second only to Mech (clowns in falcons) eldar. then the Orks hit the shelves no one could really stop them. Repeat again with new Space Marines and now guardsmen are poised to take the spotlight for a while.
Releasing all the armies at one time would at least put the writers in the same place at the same time so that one army doesn't benafit from 4 or 6 years of gaming in a given rules set as someone working with an outdated codex.
I'm happy with my race, but it's interesting to get cycles of new foes to play against.
September never looked so good!

I do play marines and would be happy if Space Wolves were just a little more balanced. (I know everything is unbalanced) the space wolves have always been more powerful but cheaper than all other space Marines. It'd be nice if they had a few drawbacks for change.
on a side note here is a silly history fact for you. In many Indian cultures wolves are considered mythical and sacred animals but in my tribe they are viewed a bit differently. There are stories about the wicked trickster Coyote and his slow dimwitted friend Wolf. To say someone is a wolf spirit is to call them mentally retarded. My local gaming club one of our members has the nickname Wolf and I remind of this fact whenever he pulls off a really bad tactic. (I hope everybody gets a good laugh out of this is not meant to offend anyone)
Personaly, I love the Wolves. Although I don't play them; their 2nd Ed Codex was the first Codex I ever owned (and has a special place in my heart).
Oh, and Denzark, you are not alone.
Looking forward to new models too. Space Wolves really do need a re-do.
One more thing to read until a new Inquisition codex comes out...

It looks like my timing was bad, I finally bought some plastic devastators a few months back to be long fangs, oh well it wasn't too hard to do some minor conversions.
I've got a squad of Grey Hunters and a squad of Blood Claws sitting in a cupboard unpainted and ready to be used in an army.
Really looking forward to this.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWLLLLLLLLLLLLL
LLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOOF WOOF!!
WAGGY TAIL TIME!
Bad space puppy!
Space Vikings Hotoho!
I can't wait to see what the wolves do.
Plastic wolf guard termies sound good, but I've already got the FW ones.
Still, Space wolves have been my army since RT and it's good to see them getting some love again.
Been playing the Wolves since Rogue Trader. Been waiting for a new Codex so long I started a Salamader Army and built an Eldar Swordwind force. Now I have a deadline to get them finished!
For September! For the Wolftime! FOR RUSS!
