Hi Warhammer 40K fans, I thought I'd let you in on a little secret.Okay, it's a big secret.
It's all the stuff we've got lined up for you in the coming months right here at the Space Wolves Blog.
Space Wolves Comic
If you haven't seen the character designs, check them out now. If you have and you're familiar with Nacho's work, then you'll be excited to know that we're set for some serious Saturday morning kids cartoon style adventures!
The free Warhammer 40K web comic launches on April the 1st. No joke!
Space Wolves Army Lists
Akex, our resident Warhammer 40K Master continues his series of hard-as-nails army lists to help you crush your opponents and get the very best from the Space Wolves Codex.
We've been getting a lot of emails from newcomers to the hobby who have found this blog and used it as their gaming bible ever since. It's great to have you.
Hopefully our full range of army lists for each points level will help you jump straight into the game, make a good account of yourselves on the tabletop and offer you a fun mix of units.
Special Character Tactica
They seem to have been sitting on the side bar since forever. But soon the red text will be turned into links, taking you to excellent articles on how to get the best from every Special Character in the Space Wolves Codex.
We'll also explain which units are best used with each Special Character...or to simply not use them at all if your games are of a more competitive nature.
FREE Space Wolves Wallpaper
Former FIREBASE Magazine artist Tim Divar is working on an awesome wallpaper for your desktop. His clean, crisp and incredibly detailed illustrations are simply breath taking. This wallpaper will be a must have -whether you play Space Wolves or not!
Tim got a bit carried away with this, so it could be a while before it's finished. But from what we've seen so far, it will be well worth the wait.
New Wolf Guard Terminator Conversions
I wasn't 100% happy with my Wolf Guard Terminator army. So I sold them all to a friend.
Not to worry! I've since started work on a new batch of Space Wolf Terminators that I am 100% happy with.
I've just finished the first one and he looks stunning. So stay tuned for a fresh Wolf Guard Terminator project, including Logan Grimnar and Arjac Rockfist conversions.
New Combi Weapon Conversion Guide
While revising my Wolf Guard Terminator conversions, I also came up with a completely new way of making combi-meltas and combi-plasmas.
You'll be pleased to know that these are even EASIER than the last lot, although you will need some careful cutting and a bit of green stuff. Plus a lot of patience. Stay tuned for a complete tutorial.
Las Plas Razorback Turret Conversion Guide
We've been talking about las/plas Razorbacks for longer than I can remember. I've come up with something a little different. I'm just putting the finishing touches to the first one and will use my second one to show you how I did it.
I'm really pleased with the results so far. Not only does the conversion look great, but it gives me an extra bit of range as well!
So stay tuned for another fully illustrated conversion tutorial.
THE WOLF TIME
Finally, (we've saved the best 'til last) we're announcing The Wolf Time - our first UK event.
There's been a lot of discussion between some of the blogs, many of our friends and amongst ourselves about a tournament of sorts.
So we've seized the initiative and begun making arrangements to meet many of our fellow bloggers, followers and friends, face to face, during a day of fun and war games.
Important Note: You don't have to bring Space Wolves!
The Wolf Time will be a 1 day tournament consisting of 3 games of 1500 points with pre determined missions and set up.
The date is unconfirmed but should take place in October. Location to be confirmed also.
We'll keep you up to date on this and let you know when tickets become available.
There's loads of other stuff scrawled on to the schedule, but we'll keep those to ourselves. After all, we need to hold on to some secrets to keep you enticed!
Thanks for following the Space Wolves Blog and please continue to spread the word!

Holy Crap! I'm so excited about the wolftime, not only might it make me get my act in gear and finish painting my army but it looks seriously awesome too!

Oh! I'm one of many followers of the blog from Spain and I will not be able to be present at this event.
Regardless, congratulations for the work you make here.

Looking forward to seeing the progress on the blog, I'm a loyal follower! I'm really excited about the new terminator army. They're beautiful models.

FOR THE ALLFATHER ! Looking foward to the Special Character tactica and the Wolves Comic. Your website has always been a 'first stop check' before I venture on something related to the Wolves... Keep up the good work !

This is all very exciting :D
April first, lol. I'll believe it when I see it ;)
I would like to see the following lists:
Pod,
Pod/Mech,
Wolves [many TWC and Fenwolves, though with some scoring troops!]
and one that I don't have a neat name for, perhaps UltraWolves....
Basically UltraWolves use stuff like Rifleman dreads, Speeders [Typhoons and Tornados] and quite a bit of the generic Marine things. The idea is to play a list that is different from the now common Greys+Runepriests+Fangs but is still pretty good.
I would also like to see lists for the 12 Great Companies, they are both fluffy and as hard as they can be whilst respecting the fluff. This will be a great thing for guys who prefer fluffy play but don't want to get pwned just because of that.
I guess this ties into the Special Character Tactica, somewhat.
You are hardcore on redoing the WG Termies!
You can always do combi-weapons my way if you wish ^^,
which I think might be easier than chopping into the storm bolter and uses no GS either. It was basically just an adaptation of your original combi-weapons anyway :)
You might get in trouble at tourneys for having a long range lasplas turret due to modelling. Just sayin'
It is a shame that I didn't manage a better paying job over the Summer break!
Fiddlesticks!
All in all, looking good :)

Wow thats a nice big list of things to come, looking forward to all of it. One thing I would like to see on a regular basis (weekly preferably) is an army list submitted from one of your readers. Now it can either be a list that someone is looking at tweaking or a list that the owner fully explains for critic. Either way it should spawn some great conversations and open the jaws of each and every wolf instead of a select few. I would love to submit my list if you do decide to go with this idea.

Looking foward to special character tactica.
About to start collecting my Ragnar Drop Army and i'm considering including Ulric with some Blood Claws. Slayers Oath + War Howl sounds fun - if expensive.

Heya, I'm one of the newbies, to the blog, to space wolves and to 40k itself!
My birthday is next week and my first miniatures will be arriving.
I've got glue, paint and brushes ready to go!
It's this website that inspired me and gave me all the info I needed - here's hoping I can do it justice =)
Thanks sooooo much - keep it coming!

Happy birthday for next week!
I hope you've read our "How to paint space wolves" guide.
Let us know how you get on :)

I look forward to all of it.
May I suggest/request that the wallpapers also have an iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad & maybe even an android resolutions? Android is a bit weird with the way it handles wallpaper, but the iOS stuff is all the same resolution except the iPad.
It's damn near impossible to find good 40k wallpaper for my iPod Touch.
March 9, 2011 at 2:05 AM
Er... if you can tell me how to do it, then I don't see why not.

Adam, I've got 4 boxes of termies and 6 razorbacks anxiously awaiting your conversion posts...
