Thanks Zemjw, but I think that's the new aerodynamic box that's the Stormraven or something! Jim right mate, if you type bell of lost souls' into Google and look at the Space Wolf post it's definitely a floaty chariot thingy for Login Grimnar! 

[Mad Doc Morris]

Well, never liked those hairy, unwashed mutants. Becoming another toy for recent GW designers to play with is just what they deserve.


All is dust.

Second try - do you mean this. There's a better picture on Golden Throne

I *really* hope that's a joke, as otherwise the shark has been well and truly jumped.

[Andym]

That's the chappie!

It's quite funny, in the link you posted, if you follow on to people's comments someone mentions it's a flying boat being pulled by 2 land based animals! Anyone spot the problem!!  

[OSHIROmodels]

Anyone spot the problem!!  

It's a load of bollocks?

 

cheers

I think that 'chariot' thing is some some of conversion.

I mean, it cant be a real GW product, can it....?
Really.....?

Although looking at those awful Wolfie Dreads......

[Argonor]

Well, remember the flying chapels...?

Course it can, they're a pack of raving loons (at least the bloke in charge is)

I get your point, mate....

I have obviously been cured of GW stuff for too long now, as I forget some of the things that they have churned out in the last few years.

I am beginning to agree after a stroll around their website.....

I really honestly thought the new wolf anti grav chariot was a photoshop job.
Also, where is all this grav tech coming from?  it used to be that land speeders were hard as balls for tech priests to build and the only jetbike outside of terra belonged to the dark angels. Now I'm meant to accept that the space wolves had some ancient relic anti grav wolf drawn toboggan kicking around for ten thousand years?

Ah, the new fluff. It 'used to be' (in 1987) that the Ravenwing flew 100 jetbikes. I have a list for them somewhere from WD (about number 95, if memory serves). I was a bit surprised when I came back to 40K around 4th edition to find that there was only one jetbike, the Ultramarines were a First-Founding Chapter and you couldn't give your sergeants Shuriken Pistols.

Plus ca change and all that...

Even the Imperial Guard used to have jetbikes in the olden RT days!

In one of the army lists in Book of the Astronomican you can upgrade an imperial army squad to all have powerboards.

Marine tactical squads could have jump or flight packs. heavy weapons and targeters frequently cane with anti grav suspensors. and then there is the grav attack vehicle of course... In fact half the Rogue trader universe was in danger of floating off if it wasnt nailed down (or attached to a convenient earthbound wolf).

..and me, walked past the GW in Cribbs Causeway last week, looked in the window and walked away.......

[beefcake]

Jet bikes were some of the coolest imperial guard minis around.

[Cultist of Sooty]

In one of the army lists in Book of the Astronomican you can upgrade an imperial army squad to all have powerboards.

After rolling on the equipment tables, the commander of my Imperial Guard force turned up for battle with a powerboard, a supply of berserker drugs (frenzon?) and a flamethrower.

What a CO! What a guy!
