How cool are Vikings? How much cooler would Vikings be if they were IN SPACE?? Well that must have been what was on the mind of Games Workshop all those years ago when they took the vague Nordic trappings given to the Space Wolves Space Marine Chapter and just went balls-to-the-wall with it. Pelts, big beards, axes, pelts made of bananas - oh it was a thing! Well with the newer version of 40K out, the venerable grumbly bearded ones have a new Codex, happily to coincide with possibly the most boring boxed set game GW have released all year - Tooth and Claw! Sure it comes with a cool new mini, Haldor Icepelt, a new Primaris Upgrade Sprue, a new Genestealer Cult Abominant and 5 new multi-part Aberrants... but are Genestealer Cults and Space Wolves really a god match - the Space Wolves would wipe these guys clean in an afternoon. Just doesn't ring true for us... Now, speaking of new, the Space Wolves Primaris Upgrade Sprue - not a single axe, only three heads (none of them a wolf) and some thankfully-not-banana pelts? It's pretty poor - compare it to the non-Primaris one - so much cooler! Anyway, for fans of the army, you finally get your Codex - both standard Horned Helm Edition and your deluxe Flaming Longship Edition. There are of course the Space Wolves Data Cards and Space Wolves Dice to go with it as well.

Now here's the even weirder release for next week; when Death Guard were released for Nurgle there was a set called Plague Bretheren. It was a box of three mono-pose minis for pretty much the price of seven minis. It was supposed to be a deluxe set, that literally NO ONE BOUGHT, so it quickly went to Last Chance To Buy. Go and check, it's probably there now. Well, exciting news, those minis are back in different packaging and called Plague Marine Reinforcements. So if you desperately want to get some more Death Guard but would prefer to pay the same price for three minis as you would for seven, then you can go and buy this set... or wait until they're both in Last Chance To Buy.

Books - we have a few - yes Age of $igmar's very own Undead bad girl is back with the new book Neferata: Mortarch of Blood. There's a new audio drama, Souldbound, centred around the Raven Guard and finally the Death Guard themed Lords of SIlence in both standard and beautiful Special Edition.
