Space wolf successor rumor

Read the wolf guard fine print on the leaked terminators datasheet

 

***
Wolf Guard: If this unit is from the Space Wolves Chapter (or one of its successor Chapters), it has the Wolf Guard keyword.

Space Wolves have had a "successor chapter" since the introduction of Primaris, so this shouldn't really come as a surprise.

Game rules are not novel lore rules. The Wolf Spear didn't exist in our codex or PA update.

 

We may be able to do custom traits like vanilla marines now.

 

I can't wait for the official news and rules preview.

More concerning is the loss of the wolf guards weapon options and the standardising of the whole squad with the one weapon.

Its likely a feature of our supplement not actually a loss. This just says if we take an assault Terminator squad they count as wolf guard. Not that regular wolf guard Terminators are no longer an option

I'm pretty excited to use successor traits with SW units! I had a 13th Company army WAY back in 2005, so ild like to be able to take Stealthy to represent that. There's Also a +1 to hit trait (on the charge ONLY), and the 6" HI trait is still there. So if you liked the old 8th ed SW playstyle, you can use these rules to emulate them.

 

I'm honestly viewing Successor SW rules as "build your own Great Company", rather than straight up New chapters.

From what I've seen of the leaks, the rules are there to play a Space Wolves successor.

 

Whether or not they show art of the known successors, the Wolf Brothers (defunct) and the Wolfspear, remains to be seen.

 

Could be the Wolf Brothers end up reconstituted, like the Soul Drinkers seem to be.
