Yeah pretty pish. The Space Wolves highpoint was when they were introduced in the 90's with a big push in White Dwarf. There were great models and great little stories in the mag with Ragnar Blackmane.

Luckily, you can mod and kit bash to your heart’s content.

I thought the Space Wolves were always kind of the joke of the game. Space Vikings who don’t really fit well into the lore and are designed like a 13 year old who just got done with reading Asterix and the Normans.

Yeah, teenage me thought they were so cool for a bit. So much so I mail ordered this from White Dwarf. ![](https://i.imgur.com/7zG7brj.jpg)

I'm with nexus6 they peaked in the early 90s when it was quite silly to have space Vikings, but they were just marines with some bling.

They were perfect - little dangling pelts, big furs, I had a terminator librarian with all the runes over him. RB was brill too. But then the new RB is even better. There is just something about the way GW paint the Primaris Wolves that I don’t jive with

But I think that's reasonably acceptable, because it was basically the only unit like that in the army, and everyone else was basically a regular marine. Plus he was the primarch (back when primarchs were normal sized and just got a +1 on strength or something ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) )

Did they actually just advance the plot of Necromunda?

There's a plot???! Gerontius Helmawr, undisputed Lord of Necromunda, now lies in medical stasis after a failed assassination attempt Hmm... this sounds suspiciously like some other Imperial ruler.. what was his name again?!

Soo, your Dark Mech army has just won a fight. Casualties need replaced, lots of "spare parts" everywhere, so you need the 40k equivalent of a Henry hoover to fetch bits, both fleshy and mechanical... ![](https://i.imgur.com/KOyPX3A.jpg) Fun little trio of fluff for the army, could be wound markers I suppose, but I like 'em.

Just noticed a bit of activity on announcements tomorrow: 8/8, Khorne day, from the WC Sunday preview.
World Eaters finally ? Can but hope.

They're counting down to the Chaos Demons codex, so my money is on something relating to that (unfortunately)

Hey, I'll take new Bloodletter sculpts, new anything Khorne. It's not as if I've got the current army, a Crimson Fist company, 20-odd killteams and an entire IG company lying around or anything.

I've largely switched off of the Sunday Previews a bit as it's been so Horus Heresy and I just don't give a flying fuck about Space Marines. The Squats-blog however is gold dust.

![](https://www.warhammer-community.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/84x6ee1n9fIRAM73.jpg) That'll do. The HH extras could've dived into a Mk5 style a bit more, as the WE were famous for, but they are very reminiscent of the old FW upgrade kit if you replace the vanes for 40k Eaters. Somebody also recalled the Warhammer+ rumour of a special WE Termi based on Wayne England's iconic art, but no sign today.

So I'm enjoying the regular drop of new minis etc from the Imperium magazine subscription. But I've come to the conclusion that I don't really need to add Adeptus Sororitas to my army.
Would anyone be up for a swap of some description? Essentially you seem to get everything from the Combat Patrol (https://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Combat-Patrol-Adepta-Sororitas) save for the Rhino...
Everything is still on the sprue.
Interested in most W40k, but mainly Primaris Marines, Orks, Chaos Marines, Death Guard/Plague Marines. I'd also consider Tau, Tyranids or Necrons.

Got some Death Guard from recent sets, and older DG metal/plastics, or a ton of Necron sprues with no purpose. Edit: ![](https://arthive.net/res/media/img/oy800/work/f46/118769@2x.webp) ![](https://i.redd.it/y0suodggnwg91.jpg) Heeee. It was rumoured, but they've actually gone and done it.

In terms of the Adeptus Sororitas minis, I've got: 1 x Canoness 1 x Seraphim Superior 1 x Repentia Superior 10 x Battle Sisters 4 x Seraphim 4 x Sisters Repentia 1 x Penitent Engine I'm in no hurry...
