Space Wolves’ Storm Fang Flyer Arrives

Posted on by

Looking much like the Caestus Assault Ram the Storm Fang can transport infantry but can also be equipped with a Frost fang Cannon. The cannon can be used cold S6 or on freeze setting S8 AP2. It’s not really ground breaking. A Storm Eagle or Raven with Las and Melta will be far better at anti amour battle field roles. The S6 Ap3 blast will give power armour infantry a head ache though. The look reminds me more more of a cobbled together centurion than the butch but refined Forge World Space Marine design. I think this is clearly aimed at this it looks cool market rather than the savvy gamer, although we will have to wait until the points values have been published to really know.

Today’s Picture Limited Edition Veteran GamesDay 2005

Posted on by

Here we have the Limited Edition Veteran from GamesDay 2005. This model was sculpted by the legend that is Juan Diaz. Juan really redefined the look of Space Marines after Jes Godwin moved to take over all control of the Design Team at Games Workshop. Some people still say the space marine models haven’t really recovered since his departure. Hopefully the new Space Wolf release will show Games Workshop’s Space Marines are back in strength.

Ultramarine Verterans

Posted on by

Here we have the Games Workshop studio’s collection of Ultramarine Veterans in power armour. Of all the Ultramarine companies the 1st Company paint schema is my favourite by far. The blue and white looks just as good on Ultramarines as it does on world eaters. I almost posted a picture of Centurions today, but I couldn’t do it. It made me feel dirty. I’m so glad I didn’t.

Posted on by

The Space Wolves receive
1x Wolf Lord in power armour on 35mm based
5x Wolf Guard Terminators
10x Space wolves in power armour.

The Orks receive
1x War Boss
5x Ork Boys
10x Grots
3x Killa Klans

The model count is reduced from Dark Vengeance (46) and Black Reach (46) to 35 models. The big surprise is the models are not snap fit, they are all normal multi pose kits like the 3rd edition set was. Many collectors will be happy about this. The Character Models are not available out side of the set so there is still a reason for dedicated collectors to bag one of these sets. Along with the models the is a “full” copy of the rules and a campaign book.
The price tag is now confirmed at £75 or $125US/$195AU.

I’m fairy pleased with all this and will look forward to picking up the new small format rules.
