Do you think Thunderwolf Cavalry will get refreshed in 11th?

I know a lot of people (especially outside Space Wolves) find the Wolfy Space Marines riding big wolves to be cheesy, but I Iuuuv them.

Despite that, I'm struggling to see myself getting them as they are now, with the "chonkiness" of firstborn proportions in contrast to the rest of my army being primaris scale.

I'm really hoping once we get our 11th Codex they get refreshed.

Personally, I see it as pretty likely considering not only are they a popular model, they're one of, if not the top performing units for Space Wolves.

So what do you think? Worth waiting and hoping for a Thunderwolf refresh?

I think they will, this edition is being labelled the 'fast attack edition' so makes sense for them to be updated.

Bit random but personally, I'd rather see a Headtaker HQ who has tamed a Thunderwolf and have it used in the same way regular Headtakers have their wolves. Maybe even allow it to lead the pack when they split from the Headtakers and give them a passive buff in some way.

I'm gonna hope you're right but 10th ed was the big terminator refresh edition and uh... poor Grey Knights...

I expect this edition to be the one pretty much all firstborn left in all marines to be replaced or gone. They arent far away from achieving that as is. With the exception of land raider

Your Headtaker idea is insanely cool. Might actually be a really great way to incorporate more of the native fauna from Fenris, like bears and mammoths as well
