[QUOTE=Jared van Kell;1530896]SW are going to be the ultimate elite army, possibly more so than Grey Knights, they are not kidding when they say SW will always be outnumbered. I do see a lot of people getting space wolves simply because they are going to be so cheap to buy and paint up. I'm not kidding when I say a 1000pts will cost you about £100, less if you load up on sagas and wargear.
I realy hope this is true, not for money reasons but for painting reasons.Also i see them as being more elite than most space marines anyway (probly not grey knights) i realy think marines should be more expensive overall with the non codex chapters being even more expensive.
standard marines should have points and stats to match what the GK are now.
But anyhow i can soon start an army that i am interested in doing again instead of stop gap armies that never get finished.
I wish i never sold my Wolves off years ago.
I have seen it. And the wonder of it has blinded me, now my only purpose is to share the awesome goodness so that all may slaver and drool in holy anticipation of what is to come.
My brothers Njal the storm caller has granted me this vision so that you too may know the terrible might of the Soace Wolves and howl as their heavy tread draws closer!
I know not of the new range of miniature representations of the sons of Russ, but I have seen the awesomeness of their almighty codex. Gather round now and listen!
Characters:
Njal Stormcaller:
Njal is back in all of his glory. The cyber raven joins him and the most easy comparison is with Tigurius, except that he wears terminator armour and carries mighty runes which blaze and improve his invulnerable save to a 4+. Truly unstoppable he remains.
A storm now covers Njal and this affects enemy shooting and combat prowess (-1 to both within 18" or something like that) and at higher levels can destroy foes and cast them around the table with it's mighty winds. Njal is the master of all six Space Wolf Psychic powers and yes, he is really expensive. Think 250+ points.
Bjorn the Fell Handed. Bjorn is incredibly strong, AV13 to the front and of course venerable. Put those two factors together and he is an almighty warrior. He has four attacks basic and is strength seven. He is also very expensive.
There is also a Telion type upgrade for the Space Wolf equivalent to scouts. This hero, more than three centuries old is the equivalent of a captain and yet with his unruly manners cannot be accepted among the battle brothers, not least because he stole one of the Chapter's thunderhawks and then crashed it during his flight. He upgrades his squad, I cannot remember how.
Battle Brothers:
All Space Wolves have counter attack and acute senses.
Wolf Guard are deceptive, they start off at a little over thirty points but they get very expensive very quickly. A wolf guard with Thunder hammer and Storm Shield weighs in at just under seventy!
There is a character with a special storm shield who can get an extra attack which represents him slapping his opponent with the shield when he charges. He also has furious charge and a thunder hammer that he can throw in a shooting attack. yes, a thrown thunder hammer. When it hits the foe there is an explosion and it reappears with a flash in his hands... Not bad eh?
Blood Claws now come in three flavours, bikers, jump packers and infantry. They remain slightly less able than regualr marines in shooting and close combat but are still really deadly...
Wulfen are gone as a unit.
There is a character who rides a Fenrisian wolf in to battle. It's a bit He-Man esque, but in a good way.
Long Fangs, Heavy Bolters for only a handful of points, you know about the same as a meltagun for regular marines... Also you can carry five heavy weapons... It's brilliant.
How much is a regular Space Wolf? xx points? Oh and you get a special weapon for free. Oh, and if you take ten you get a second special weapon for free... Ten men, and two special weapons for 150 points? Sounds good eh?
Kit? Oh yeah, every space wolf carries a chainsword, bolt pistol and boltgun. Extra attacks, I think so. You can kiss good bye to true grit though.
Oh and one last thing. Dark Angels are now not alone in being able to field Terminator only armies! SW's can field all terminator armies as one of their characters makes it possible to field T's as troops choices!

Great stuff, thanks to you. I almost passed out when I read the termie bit. Questions abound!
For starters, did Long Fangs have Split fire and/or Relentless?

Haha! This is brilliant!!!!
Sorry. Grey Hunters with uber grit, though? The Chaos Boyz aren't gonna like that. Ah well. Who cares, no-good traitor sons of he-sheep!!!
Come, drink with me my lads! For Battle! For Glory! For the Wolftime!!!
*hands around the Wulfsmeade*
EDIT: Are Scouts still as awesome as they used to be before everyone got their unique ability?

FABRICATI DIEM, PVNC
Just to clarify: GH's still get Frag/Krak Grenades standard right?
On Warseer: Iracundus: "So you might end up with "renegade" Chapters, but more split due to ideology rather than because the big bogeyman of Chaos suddenly makes them all cackling mustache twirling villains."
That point cost seem too small for all that the GH's receive. There must be some large game play negative or the perhaps the cost was misunderstood?
Also goes against the rumor that we will always be outnumbered. With costs like that ( I assume BC's are the same or a little less) it would be hard to be outnumbered by other marines.
Yes, everything seems plausible aside from ten grey hunters with two specials for 150 points. I have to assume the cost was misread or misunderstood.
Can you give confirmation Zarahemna?
