INTERVIEW·WHITE DWARF 358

In the Company of Wolves

October 2009·pp. 16–27

THE SHORT VERSION

Phil explains how Fenris, sagas and independent warrior traditions shape the revised Chapter. Characters and flexible Wolf Guard leadership give the force the character of linked warbands. New units include Thunderwolf riders and tragic Lone Wolves, while established troops receive revised roles. Dom’s collecting response, Robin’s example army and a quick painting method turn the design discussion into practical projects.

Codex: Space Wolves

The new ninety-six-page book combines the Chapter’s sagas, home world and fighting forces. Expanded background supports the image of proud warriors who temper ferocity with cunning. An army list and model gallery connect those stories to collecting and play. The release establishes the source explored in the main designer interview.

Space Wolves Pack

Ten plastic figures can become Grey Hunters, Blood Claws or power-armoured Wolf Guard. Extensive spare parts allow different weapons and personalities. Compatibility with other Marine kits spreads that identity across a larger force. The kit is presented as both the core of an army and a source of conversion material.
