The Varagyr Coming Soon From Forge World + 40K Codex News
November 7, 2017 by brennon
Building on their armies of the Horus Heresy the folks at Forge World has shown off the coming Varagyr Terminators who would have fought alongside Leman Russ in his many battles.
Clad in the typical Cataphractii-Pattern Terminator Armour these Terminators also bring to the hobby table all manner of runes and trinkets that have become the character of the Space Wolves. Each of them looks and feels like an individual warrior with their own tales of prowess in battle.
As well as being useful in the Horus Heresy this set might work for a retinue that protects a Wolf Lord in the grimdark future too in Warhammer 40,000.
New Codexes
As well as this preview of the new Terminators for the Space Wolves there has been some light shone on what Codexes are coming next from Games Workshop. The Angels Of Death are protecting the Imperium...
...whilst massing against them are the forces of Chaos with a new Daemon Codex on the way.
The Dark Angel and Blood Angel Codexes are going to close out 2017 with Codex Chaos Daemons then being the welcome into the new year. What a bloodsoaked way to welcome in 2018 right?
Are you going to be snapping up any of these goodies for yourself?

While I don’t collect Chaos (yet) I kinda want the Chaos Daemons codex.
Those terminators look pretty cool. It’s funny though, that because the Space Wolves aren’t really very different in 30K, they’re just not as exciting as many of the other legions are. Still, they’re nice models. Looking forward to see what they’re doing with the new daemon codex. I think a lot of the recent ones have been a bit underwhelming. Not bad… Just not really very exciting. I was fine with the Index series of books, but it seems a bit odd to do them and then replace them very quickly. They should either have released some really very basic… Read more »
The indexes were a stop gap to give people rules on Day 1. They also didn’t make any secret that codexes would be released quickly (although nobody could have predicted that they would be so quick!)
I know that, and I’ve no problem with it. I’ve a problem with some of the new codexes they’re rushing out feeling like stop gaps too. The new Death Guard codex is mostly very cool. But a lot of the others feel like they’re not very much of an improvement on the Index.
Given that they expect to be doing tweaking all year (the ‘chapter approved’ book will most likely update rules and stats too) and changing the stats the codexes really only provide you with the bit of extra fluff and the ‘missing’ army specific stratagems.
Heck, at this speed it is not a real surprise that there have been very few changes over the index. The Eldar definitely had a few controversial changes. Whether any other faction has similar stuff is something for the experienced players to decide.
The Space Wolves look like cheap knock offs, will fit great with a poor mans
Primarch from Kabuki models.
But then again these will be cast by Forgeworld, so cast quality will be much worse than minis cast in some drunken russians cellar.
Interesting statement. I have a few FW conversion kits and all of them with the exception to the brass sheets had minor errors or really big miscasts. How they manage to get packed without inspection for quality control is beyond my understanding.
I feel you. Almost everytime I recieved models from Forgeworld I had to ask them to send replacement parts and I dont want to think of the hours I spent correcting casting mistakes.
It sucks. They charge an insane premium price for their kits yet fail to deliver a quality that matches what you get much cheaper from much smaller companies.
No overly fussed by the terminators, nothing wrong with them just not grabbing me.
Will be grabbing the dark angels codex, expect the Lion to return. Which should spice stuff up a little background wise.
So rumors about Lion being next Primarch could be true.
My beard approves.
I’m certainly looking forward to seeing some of them painted up – I find it hard to see the fur as fur when it’s not finished (if that makes any sense at all!).
