Finally some official GW confirmation that the Space Wolf codex is incoming!
From WD354: page 13 Right hand Column, second paragraph down:
"Recently we've heard howls of anguish from the games developers, and 'Eavy Metal have been ordering a lot of grey paint. What could it all mean? Keep reading over the next few issues to find out."
I've been searching all over the web and these are the most recent rumors about the New Codex: Many thanks to Shadowphract from Warseer.
If drop pods are taken, the whole army must take them.
Bjorn the Fellhanded has AV14 on all sides, better stats.
There is some mad Wulfen character, who has his own personal drop pod. He can choose who he fights in combat, like a challenge in WFB. No-one else can fight him apart from the person he's attacking, unless said model is killed, in which case his squad can then attack him.
All rules for Named Characters have been rebuffed - all of them can take terminator armour for +50 points. All Named Characters models are getting re-done, if not for the actual release then in subsequent releases.
Any character can take terminator for 50pts, which includes weapons.
-Runic weapons I believe function as Relic blades, but with something else quite snazzy.
Wolf Guard (in terminator armour) with lightning claws rack up 6 attacks on the charge each. A very broken thing to do (think this ill be omitted from the final codex) is put them with Ragnar Blackmane, who gives them Fleet of foot and rending, though dont' quote me on rending.
-Wolf guard in terminator armour with lightning claws are costing 60 points.
Individual Wolf Guard can replace squad leaders - all should look individual.
No model in the SW codex at all has the option to take a thunderhammer and storm shield.
Wulfen are are apparently in the new codex
The Leman Russ Exterminator is gone, but may be replaced by a new Predator variant.
Wolf Guard can still lead Packs of Space Wolves
The Special Characters are getting New models and after seeing the most recent SM HQ minis they should look fantastic.
New plastic upgrade kit similar to the DA sprue. There is also a rumor of Plastic Wolf Scouts.
BoLS rumored plastic Long Fangs and Terminators also.
Rumored for an October release.
