A while? I thought they were next. It's the only one GW have hinted at (in WD). And didn't someone say March for them?

**Ratbarf**

Guard get theirs in Either April or May Last I heard, as for the next 40k book its Space Wolves.

**Apone**

Can they fit them in between Warriors of Chaos and Guard then? Should be interesting either way. I'm really looking forward to Guard though.

**Alpharius**

Space Wolves are next after C: Space Marines?

I'm not sure Dakka's servers will be able to handle that load of whining (which in this case would actually be justifiable!).

Oh boy...

**H.B.M.C.**

Are you kidding? A new Space Wolf Codex will bring with it a whole new set of plastic conversion kits to make awesome looking Space Wolves.

We know how well the Black Templar and Dark Angel kits came out - the BT sprue being one of my fav sprues GW has made, especially when you're making a Deathwatch army like I did - so a new set of Wolf sprues would be great.

And they need a new Codex. Their Codex still references the old original 3rd Ed Marine Codex.

BYE

I like space wolves as space marines go. But I'll still be annoyed at them getting the book and new models. Dark Eldar deserve it more.

**Alpharius**

I'd like to see a Space Wolves codex too, but even I can admit that two Marine codices in a row will be a bit much.

**Kallbrand**

Dont worry about ever facing ultramarines again, or any other chapter for that matter. All the characters and their special abilities can be used in any "basic space marine army", built by the rules from this book.

So you now will face the army space marines, with Tigurius and Shrike(or whatever used to be chapter specific before), painted in green and red.

Agreed. Our spiky friends havent seen a revison since 3rd ed, which is just pitiful.

**Gutteridge**

just remember that during next year, Imperial Guard, Dark Eldar & Space Wolves codex's will come out so its just the matter of patience... as for me, i am counting the days till SM:codex comes out

Cheers,
Gutteridge

im just hoping i dont have to ebay half my SM army and re-build to fit new rules :K
aslong as my tac squads can ditch thier missile launcher for 2 melta guns thats fine

**mothman_451**

aint going to happen, 2 specials are out

**Alpharius**

Let us know when your minis hit eBay though!

**JD21290**

there goes 6 meltaguns :K
not even bothering to replace them with a heavy wep, idea of using 2 special was so i could move and shoot :K

whats next? will they make the commander a fixed character so nothing can be upgraded on him?
or will the wargear section just get removed?
its taking the flexability out of armies, soon the game will just be a case of sit back and shoot.

**Alpharius**

Um, you have been reading the rumors about the new Space Marine Codex, right?

SM's have apparently survived the Jervis Treatment (see: DA and BA) and actually have a lot of options.

No consolidating into another combat does push the trend more towards the shooty side, true.

Some of the things we could do via Traits are no more, but since the big 'disadvantage' taken was always "We Stand Alone", you had to see that one coming!

All in all, SM players look to be very happy come October.

I'd be happy with an upgrade sprue, a terminator upgrade sprue, and a dreadnought/vehicle upgrade sprue.

As to codex, they could do a pdf one, just so long as they leave the options for Wolf Guard/Lords intact.

**JD21290**

im just not happy that a force based on CC isnt as easy to make now, and traits have been done away with too? :K

can you pm me a link please of the big changes?

PDF Codices are lame (just ask any BA player!!

).

I want a real Space Puppy Codex with new models and plastic conversion kits. Given GW's recent plastic endeavours, I think it'll turn out great, and of all the 'different' types of Marines out there, they're the ones most in need of it (ignoring Chaos Marines, which need to get their 'Chaos' back ASAP).

You should take a multimelta/heavy bolter/rock-it lawnchair in every squad. They're free in the new book, and if you're moving, that only means one less bolter round (the heavy weapons guy can still shoot his BP), while if you're stationary, your fire is radically better.

The Wargear section has been removed. No each entry has what options they can get rather than having a universal list for everyone.

I think the BA codex is lame only because it was written as such. There is no rule saying they have to be.

I am just tired of waiting for an update. My codex is worn, torn, and in general bad shape, it's also the second oldest codex I own(Oldest is a 2nd Ed Eldar codex that is in a box in storage), and was bought shortly after it came out. I agree, I think we'll get some great kits when they do finally do it, but I'm betting it's going to be Q4 next year at the earliest.
