I'm a little sad to see Santa's sleigh go and likely never return, but dang is the new Grimnar cool. I wonder if there is going to be any special story to Grimnar's crossing of the Rubicon Primaris. I bet Ragnar Blackmane is jealous Grimnar got to keep his pet wolves when he didn't.

Rules
- Keep it civil.
- No memeposts/shitposts. Memes are great but direct them to grimdank.
- Please mark any posts containing realistic nudity or realistic excessive gore/violence as NSFW; this rule mainly applies to cosplay and realistic drawings rather than miniatures. Being that 40k is inherently violent, this is a judgement call, and mods may occasionally request posters add tags.
- No contemporary politics, no political debates. This is a space to enjoy the hobby and get away from the doomscrolling.

Honestly I'm glad the sleigh is gone. It was so bad in my mind.
I'm also interested in seeing where the fluff is going. From the releases so far it doesn't look like we're going to get Russ though, which I think is a good thing.
Glorious model.
Honestly I'm very happy the wolves are going away from the Furry side of things and more leaning into the Space Vikings side of things.
Yeah as a guy who doesn't like the furry side but loves the viking side this is great. I would have done a viking themed successor but space wolves don't get successors.
Oh dude you could make your own chapter and just use their models and rules!
We'll see if they do less of the wolf-wolf-wolfy-wolf in the new codex, but these models are very well done!
I know I’m in the minority but I like both. The Wulfen are cool to me, I like the models and the lore. I have a feeling if we get Russ 40K he will be more beast than man as well.
Totally fair. I'm here for the Wulfen. I'm not here for frost-claws on wolf-riders bearing the wolf-wolf signum or whatever. Russ would work fine, but I feel like there are better choices to bring back primarch wise. I'd personally pick Vulkan or Dorn first.
Vulkan, because he's a perpetual and would have really cool rules, Dorn because he could come back as the Penitent Primarch, admitting that Sigismund was right, and instead of the Praetorian of Terra we would get the primarch of the Black Templars instead.
I get what you're saying and I agree, but I also think it's funny because nearly every flat surface on the new mini has a wolf symbol.
Your Dorn concept is really exciting! I’m hoping personally for Corvus or the Khan next. A primarch whose warped but isn’t chaos excited me I’d love to see what GW does with that concept. And a primarch on a vehicle just excites me.
Although all the factions I collect have their primarchs now so I’m game for anyone.
The Khan concept model wa was cool.
I agree both of those would be awesome!
