SpaceWolves Rumours Explosion

I like them too actually. They kinda look like small version of the Forge World "Ram" ship.

itsa flying sea/rail car with stabilizer fins. just the thing for delivering space vikings.

I don't mind the aesthetics, really. its more the feasibility of a flying assault craft. earliest anything is going to get to assault out of this thing is Turn 4. which is way late. and thats if it doesn't get blown up and they don't all die.

If it could start on the table in hover mode? maybe? gots to buy this AND a sky shield landing pad i guess.

Is it not an assault vehicle like a stormraven? Tho if I was building one, I would be going with the gunship all the way.

Turn 3 Mike. If they have the assault USR (which I would think they do). Just like stormravens. Big thing with the skyshield plan is that if your opponent goes first it is just an AV12 vehicle. Not hard to kill.

I'm thinking FMC. where they can't charge during a turn that they change from swooping to gliding. i guess that doesn't apply here. turn three isn't so bad. still have the crash boom go byebye problems though..

There are these magic things loyalists have called storm shields

So um yeah. A venerable dread with a 3++ and a master crafted str10 ap2 I4 weapon . looks like the shield counts as an extra specialist weapon, so the dread would have 3 attacks.
screams gimmeh a drop pod.

I'll take three. tyvm

May take a Drop-pod

i like murderfang too. scarey as f*ck.

But he still dies to easily to any type of heavy guns . Venerable Dread with a stormshield? hes gonna suck up so much fire. 66% more fire to be exact. this is the future of vehicles... happening in real time!

I have some spacewolf Terminators and some unpainted marines. i may actually start playing a bit of space wolves if these are real

I think you missed the point.  All your fancy maths go out the window when the model you are using is called MURDER fang and your special weapons are MURDER claws and it has a special rule called MURDER lust.  

Thats 3x more MURDER then a venerable dread with a storm shield.  Now thats math that makes sense.

I want to play Space Wolves now just because of this comment. LOL ^.^

+1

can't argue with that logic.

Grimnar on "chariot" is up on Bols... and, its pretty slick. 

Its a hover like chariot so looks pretty decent, not the ice sled santa thing i was imagining.

Nothing a few slats of plasticard can't fix.   

Needs MOAR santa. Dana can you make one in red/white and maybe add a sack of toys on the back?

you'll find me scouring the dollar stor xmas toys section for bits.

Lol omg kids walk down the wrong isle and see a hooded figure ripping Santa to pieces lol

The Chariot does look pretty good. It reminds me of the High elf bird boat from fantasy.

I am sure you will see the santa conversions start popping up once the model gets released.

makes no sense of course. the imperium can only keep one jetbike working after 10k years. imagine how many kittens they have to sacrifice to the machine god to keep this thing floating?

Maybe its like American pickers. They found this sweet hover sled sitting in some farmers shed for a few centuries in mint condition! What a deal.

That sled it redic. I actually like the sled itself, the logan fig is butt ugly tho...

going through a copy of the codex now. not many surprises so far

i'm in love with the whole codex except not having any way to give eternal warrior to the plethora of beatsticks it provides.

is it just me or can space wolf terminators Dual Wield Thunder Hammers? or in a more useful combination a wolf claw and a thunder hammer.
