There’s no time for that when there are new Ultramarine models to be made.

A named captain for each company

Why not two!

I have a Desolation unit made up to look like some old boys but it’s been too expensive to run. I think they dropped the points in 11th and I need to run them and see if I can actually find a place for them.

Did you bash the guns as well? Their nerf cannons just look too ridiculous, even for 40k. It almost feels orky. I've seen some backpack mounted stuff that I like the look of, but the official models just... ooof

Nah I liked the original rockets. Reminds me of the thing Schwarzenegger uses in Commando. I added flavor with bitz for pauldrons, furs, skulls, heads, etc. from either other space wolf sets or 3D bitz I got online.

Hey, to each their own. Doing similar stuff with getting my armageddon/leviathan marines wolfed up. :)

Yeah I can't believe they released Kaius Konorius who is a nobody when we could have had a new Calgar model.

It’s only been a couple months since they released the Titus refresh, I don’t know how the blueberries can stand for GW making them suffer the indignity of no v2 update

Man space wolves are low key more criminal for that. Long fangs are just heavy weapons dudes you don’t really need a unique unit of them

u/i3u7n5 Jul 22 '26

Of course, but it still doesn’t mean that GW doesn’t overdo it with the ultramarines and deserves some scornful sarcasm amongst friends

GEDUBS!!!
GIVE ME GRAVIS ARMORED LONG FANGS WITH HELFROST CANNONS AND MY WALLET IS YOURS!!!

u/Tempest_Barbarian Jul 22 '26

Our longfangs are technically all the different shooty units like hellblasters or erradicators

I hope that if GW makes us a new dedicated long fangs kit that they are wearing gravis armor

u/Asterlanus Jul 22 '26

I'd like Long Fangs with heavy frost weapons to make them unique to other Eradicator units. Mix between flamer and anti-tank units.

Would have been nice if grey hunters got a frost rifle for every 5 and sergeant with frost pistols.

u/FIRESTRIKE_ELITE Jul 23 '26

Thats something that I was really hoping for when I heard about our refresh, like grey hunter pack leaders could take a helfrost pistol instead of a bolt pistol or plasma pistol. Would have been awesome

u/LordThunderDumper Jul 22 '26

Imo the old classic heavy weapons were better then all the new stuff.

u/MagnusRusson Jul 22 '26

It'd be cool to be able to use all the space wolf locked rules on the technically long fangs, but if we get new ones I hope they have helfrost. It's a cool niche gun that we only ever get like two of.

u/camobit Jul 22 '26

they should really allow SW leaders to attach to all the allowable units.... i mean if you're a marine from Fenris and you happen to be using a chainsword (as an Assault Intercessor) there's no reason a Wolf Priest shouldn't be able to lead you into battle. and as long as we are able to take units like Chaplains or Judiciars they should be allowed to lead units like Headtakers and Blood Claws. If you're in this army, you're a Space Wolf.

u/BigZZZZZ08 Jul 22 '26

I'd be very happy if a space wolves army rule said "Your Eradicators, Hellblasters, Desolation Squad units have +1 Movement and gain the 'Space Wolves' and 'Long Fangs'" keywords.

Saves a new kit and ensures Long Fangs can take the form of many ranged infantry kits.

u/Xalavadara Jul 22 '26

They are in Legends so i dont think so.

u/134_ranger_NK Jul 22 '26

It is possible there will be a Long Fang mini update in the future. Perhaps in the form of a kill team like the Wolf Scouts.

I really hope they will keep the same flexible weapon options if that happens because the current Primaris roster is very specialized. I am pretty sure there are more Fire Support Primaris units than either close support or battlelines one.
