I keep feeling like I've seen this helmet before, like on a very old SW special character, but the closest I could find is old Ulfric the Slayer's double-dog headed back pack.

imo the wolf helmets would be great as a third party bit, but the combo of the glacial release rate for HH (meaning this is all we get this week even announced) and that this is taking up a production slot and prevents SW from getting a more viking style kit any time soon... it's definitely amplifying the negative response.

Scanned it from the 2nd ed Rulebook! I'm sorry he is labeled as a captain here not a sergeant.

Just to have the absolute basics they've had 10+ years to design and order a mold for ready to go for their grand launch, so a quarter to half of the legions (depending on how you break things down) aren't missing their cores.

You uh, came in on 2e didn't you?

Compared to its 1e treatment, this is an absolute storm of releases.

You're welcome to show me where kits such as "plastic despoilers and assault squads, the basic troops for BA, WE, NL, and every other CC focused legion" have been released or even announced.

Or where plastic autocannons and volkite culverins have been released. (I'd lump in lascannons and plasma cannons too, but people who aren't rivet counters can just use the Devastator ones.)

Or where the other half of the Leviathan has been released.

Or where the standalone Contemptor has been released, especially since we have several of its sprues already.

But no, the best GW can do is announce "hey, here's your upgrade kits for specific legions that we're going to discontinue again in a couple years like usual, so really this is just fodder for the recasters. Don't worry that plenty of your options are prohibitively expensive or entirely unavailable despite being core to most army lists, we're not going to give any sort of road map for when you can expect to build the core of your army or even finish your box set." They've had years to prepare for this launch, even just "this is a general road map, individual items may be a week or two off but this is roughly when to expect core units to make the jump to plastic" would work wonders for community goodwill.

I don't expect GW to keep up "give us a new full plastic kit every week for a year" or some poo poo, that's absurd. The actual number of kits being released ongoing is reasonable, they're just mostly kits few people want (the Leviathan and special weapons being the obvious exceptions) while we're still missing kits most players need. Just to have the absolute basics they've had 10+ years to design and order a mold for ready to go for their grand launch, so a quarter to half of the legions (depending on how you break things down) aren't missing their cores. (Then again, seeing as they can't keep stock of much of anything on the web store either, who knows how much it would help.)

Anyone got pics of good space wolf conversions or kitbashes as a cleanser

I've noticed ever since getting into Warhammer that GW announces things and then doesn't launch them for months. Like what's even the point? I just want to finish kitting out my Iron Warriors.
