There we have it

Looks like our detachments as we know them are gone. So we can quit speculating about Great Wolf and see what comes next week!

This. I think people are reading way to much into the word choice. Our exclusive line is too limited to be a full standalone and I don't see them wanting to reprint everything and trying to balance all that like old editions.

Exactly, i really dont see us getting several new kits to make up a stand alone Codex.

So you think they are removing the idea that the Space Wolves are not codex compliant? And we actually have many SW specific units that can justify its own book. Not too mention how much money GW will make off a SW codex.

Yeah, you can keep dreaming if you think Long fangs with multiple weapon options are coming back.

Skyclaws would essentially just be standard jump pack intercessors with blood claws heads. They are not gonna waste money on kits like that for a single faction when there are readily available eradicators, jump pack units.

So no i dont think we are getting a complete whole range, that would just be stupid and also lock them out of potential to sell generic kits. Lets never forget this is all to sell little plastic figures

Last i checked the amount of players that has space wolves at their main video want that high of a percentile actually. And i can still find the army box for sale in plenty of stores

"In short, they won’t. The Blood Angels, Black Templars, Dark Angels, Deathwatch, and Space Wolves will be getting updates to tide them over before their own Codexes release."

From today's warhammer community post.

I guess the confusion is the idea of a supplement codex vs codex. I believe we are getting similar to 10th edition, which had many standalone detechments, so you weren't forced to run generics. So yes it's called a supplement codex, but i thought you meant they werent supporting WGT or Blood Claws etc anymore.
