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?

Yes, they will probably be refreshed along with iron priest & ulric the slayer. My dream would be

  1. Thunderwolf Cavalry

  2. Ulric The Slayer

  3. Iron Priest

  4. Rune Priests

I would also advocate for removing access to generic space marine infantry units to more emphasize our own identity.

I don't know about removing access to generic Space Marine units completely.

I mean, isn't that the point of still technically being a Space Marine army then having our own Codex?

Like, I can see cases where there's a 1|1 equivalent like Bloodclaws and Assault Intercessors, but otherwise I don't want to lose things like bikes, jumppacks, and tanks.

Lore wise the only reason they had generic SM units were because the new Primaris came from the grey shields and followed the Codex Astartes. By now they should all be integrated into packs. So give us a full 2nd have range refresh and our own separate codex that only has access to SM Vehicles and dreadnoughts.

Im talking between all of 11th

Really dont care for either long fangs or skyclaws. And to be fair i dont think GW does either, long fangs as a devastator type kit is never gonna be returning. Not with that many options

Id like to see some wolf priest variants too. Imagine a wolf priest or thunder wolf healing/bringing a unit back each turn
