AdeptiCon attendees scored a free Space Wolves miniature, granting an early look at brutal new sculpts and Codex art teased on the special edition box.
AdeptiCon brought the noise, but the Space Wolves brought the claws—and a little something extra for those lucky enough to be in the room. Every attendee at the Warhammer preview show walked away with a free Space Wolves miniature from the brand-new range, packed in a custom box scratched with claw marks and hiding what looks suspiciously like the next Codex cover.
It’s not just a giveaway—it was a full-on sneak peek. The mini builds as either a Blood Claw or Grey Hunter, giving fans an early hands-on with the updated sculpts, and a solid clue that the Sons of Russ are about to hit the tabletop like a drop pod full of rage.
The Surprise That Bit First
Games Workshop pulled off a bit of a stunt at their annual preview show. Sure, they showed off the new Codex, the Army Box, and a wave of new miniatures for the Space Wolves. It was all very exciting. But the real surprise?
Every single person who sat through the reveal walked away with an exclusive free Space Wolves miniature from the new range. One minute, you’re watching new sculpts flash across the screen, and the next, you’re clutching a fresh sprue in your hand like it’s the Emperor’s own blessing.
Not Just Another Space Marine
This isn’t just a random Primaris with a wolf tail slapped on. The model is sharp—literally and stylistically. It can be built as either a Blood Claw or a Grey Hunter, which gives hobbyists a peek into the modular design direction of the range.
That kind of flexibility usually doesn’t show up until you’ve got the box set in front of you and a dozen sprues spread across your desk. But AdeptiCon attendees got a sneak peek weeks early. Plus, if we had to guess, this little guy will also be a future free Mini of the Month model, too.
That Box, Though
Now, let’s talk about that packaging. GW went full thematic with a special box that perhaps hints at the new Codex cover art (the exclusive edition one in the army box). You’ll spot slashes across the front—like a Fenrisian beast took a swipe—and hidden beneath them is what looks like a clawed-up glimpse of the 4th edition cover art below.
It’s a clever touch, and you know someone in the GW art department had way too much fun designing it.
The Army Set Is Coming, and It Brought Claws
For those keeping track, this is more than just a cool gift—it’s a signal. The new Space Wolves Army Set is coming in hot, with brutal new sculpts and a clear design shift that leans harder into the close-combat identity of the chapter.
From a hobby standpoint, this freebie is a perfect teaser. You can start testing color schemes before the box even drops. Want to see how your edge highlights pop on a new style of Mk X armor? Go wild. Want to try out a weathered leather technique on a shoulder pelt? Here’s your excuse.
Final Howl
In short: AdeptiCon handed attendees more than hype—they got plastic proof. One clawed step closer to a full-on invasion of the Space Wolves. And with that Codex art peeking out from the shadows of the box, there’s a good chance we haven’t seen the last of what Fenris is about to throw at us.
