Background Image by: https://www.deviantart.com/artkreed/art/Icy-Landscape-766731130 There's a certain attachment to the Space Wolves in this neck of the woods, as they were one of the very first Space Marines I painted, having picked up the Space Marine Paint Set back in 1989. There they were, resplendent in icy blue, red and yellow - and looking back at that miniature, boy what a mess he is. None the less they have been a bit of a favourite, and this week those icy lads have some new sets as they are thrown into Warhammer 40k 10th Edition. Leading the charge across the icy plain is the Codex Supplement: Space Wolves - available in Howling Wrath Collector's Edition and Not Your Father's Polar Express Standard Edition. A few years ago Logan Grimnar took a second job as Santa - it wasn't popular with fans but it kept the kids happy. Now he returns without his sleigh and fully Primaris-ed in his old school terminator plate. He looks great, and with him he brought Arjac Rockfist, the personal champion of Logan Grimnar, who not only kept the dynamism of his original miniature, but was able to take off the elf costume he'd been wearing throughout Logan's Santa stint. Arjac did look cute in that little green hat though. What do you do if you hate psykers but you need a "wizard"? You call Njal Stormcaller! Yes the not-Librarian of the Space Wolves has a new miniature - cyber-raven and all. He also retains the design of his original miniature, just Primaris-ified. The Wolf Priest is a standout in this range, not becuase of his pose, but because of his amazing optional base head. This head is EVERYTHING! Let's look at some troops, starting with the Wolf Guard Battle Leader who has multiple weapon options so he can be any sort of leader in your force. Also a great source of parts, he has to be a must-buy for Space Wolves hobbyists. Veterans, there are more than a few, with the Wolf Guard Terminators (can there be a more iconic Space Wolves unit?) and the Wolf Guard Headtakers filling that slot. In terms of grunts we have the Grey Hunters and Blood Claws, who if you look closely sport the first real variants we have seen to Primaris armour since it's introduction, with a new all-in-one greave that replaces the kneecap and also to deletion or modificiation of the armour across the top of the knee. This is a great change and reflects the old school armour we see on the Space Wolves character models too. Here's hoping we see some Sky Claws soon! The gamer aids are here too, with Space Wolves Dice and Datasheet Cards here for your pleasure.
In other Warhammer 40K releases we have the redone Drop Pods - and boy is this causing a storm! The original Drop Pod was fiddly to make, with opening doors and sub-assemblies, so it surprises no one that a vocal minority were unhappy with it. Trying to help, GW brought out a Drop Pod that now has permanently open doors... which has pelease nobody! You have to admit they did try, and it shows that taking the easy road and not just engineering a better way to have a flexible Drop Pod was one way to go, but the wrong way to go. Easy doesn't always equal right. The other minature release this week is the Made to Order Killzone Upgrade: Shrine Statue, which is a cool piece, but it will take up to 18 months to get to you.
In books this week we have the supposed end to the current Warhammer 40k narrative arc (that literally no one is reading) with Dawn of Fire: The Silent King in Special Edition and paperback. In other books we have the Sisters of Battle-themed Paragon of Faith and Other Stories in hardback, which includes the Paragon of Faith novella, Saint's Judgement novella, Infernal Motives short story, Our Lady of the Voyage short story, Joy of the Martyr short story, Redemption Through Blood short story, and The Fires of Our Faith short story. This is an almost entirely female writing effort, which is a very interesting turn. The great man himself is now (mostly) all in one volume with Ravenor: The Omnibus in paperback on pre-order this week. It includes the short story Playing Patience, Ravenor, Thorn Wishes Talon, Ravenor Returned and Ravenor Rogue full novels, and the short story Perihelion. The The universally derided new miniature of Inquisitor Torquemada Coteaz may cause laughter, but he's the protagonist in the paperback of Daemonhammer, while we also have the paperback version of the Exorcists Chapter-themed Oaths of Damnation in paperback and those glorious fly-boys and fly-girls get a run in Above and Beyond in paperback.
