First there are no Brets (or indeed any WHFB). Second, there are Space Wolves.
Now back in the day, my two denzians of Chaos, Plaguelord Colthrax and Noiselord Challis Drant used to make much sport whipping the local dog that was Hagen Kerr's Hakkon Ironwolf. It's fair to say that the beatings he took were what drove Hagen to build his Imperial Guard - it must get depressing removing handfuls of Space Marines on a weekly roster. Still despite the aforementioned Hakkon Ironwolf being my bitch, I hate Space Wolves. Largely I guess because they display all the subtlety and ingenuity of a wounded cur and returned week after week to accept there punishment. That and their horrible powder blue power armour.
Hopefully some Fantasy soon.
Bummer, fantasy definitely has been on the backburner. :(
ReplyDeleteThis is getting disappointing, so far its been 2 months of non stop 40k and now it looks like is going to be another month of 40k, will this ever end!!!
ReplyDeleteNow now, GW dont think in months anymore, they think in weeks. They might sneak in WHFB thing into August. There are 5 weekends in August, so 5 weekends worth of potential releases.

I love that Space Wolf flyer(?) on the front cover. It's like they had a look at the Storm Talon and said "How can we make something that's even less likely to fly", and took it on as a challenge. They succeeded, it's like a shipping container with engines and a wolf skull strapped to it.
ReplyDeleteShame about Bretonnians or any other WHFB not coming out this month. We just have to accept that GW will get round to it when they can be arsed. Hey, they'll probably come out before the FAQs are updated....
uh oh it looks like the thin patina of Tane's suspension of disbelief is in danger of being shattered once again.
DeleteBut it has wings, why wouldn't it be able to fly?
DeleteYeah, my sense of disbelief is a fragile and delicate flower, easily bruised by crappy design decisions.
DeleteBut you'd need to strap a Saturn booster to your disbelief to suspend it enough to accept that monstrosity. Ironically, a Saturn rocket is what that thing needs to fly.
Come now, it's well documented that adding wolf skulls to items makes them lighter than they were without them.
DeleteIs that why Space Wolves all have wolf skulls on their heads? :P
DeleteI honestly don't know which are cooler, Ultramarines or Space Wolves, makes me want to take a mean hit on the sweet sweet space hammer.
ReplyDeleteShame about Bretonnians not being in the latest issue. There was another rumour (finally) about them on Faet212 last week something about a new Grail Knight kit. Looking forward to their release as I am seriously considering them as my next army.
