Space Wolves are back in a big way for Warhammer 40k with new minis, a lore-packed Codex, and a furious Army Set box full of new miniatures!
Updated by Rob Baer on April 8th, 2025, with the latest previews and army set information.
The Sons of Russ aren’t just growling at the gates—they’re kicking them down. The new Space Wolves Codex, Army Box, and miniatures crash into Warhammer 40K with a fury only Fenris could forge (and who knows, maybe we get Russ before it’s all said and done). We’re talking brutal new sculpts, savage lore updates, and a stacked Army Set that’s equal parts plastic and pure rage.
This isn’t just a refresh—it’s a full-on war cry. If you like your power armor covered in wolf pelts and your tactics loud and close-ranged, you’re in for a good time. Let’s break down what’s in the box—and why it bites hard.
New Space Wolves Army Set Howls Into 40k
The Wolves of Fenris are back, and they’re looking meaner, leaner, and way more plastic. If you’re into Warhammer 40k Space Wolves, now’s the time to start planning your next saga—or at least a few savage tabletop brawls.
Games Workshop dropped news at AdeptiCon 2025 about the Space Wolves Army Box Set, and it’s packed with 28 miniatures tighter than a longship full of ale and chainblades. This box has fresh miniatures, a new codex with art dripping Fenrisian vibes, and enough bite to keep your pile of shame company for a while.
The new 2025 Space Wolves Army Set has a release date that’s still TBD but expected in late spring or summer 2025. It will be rocking an estimated retail price of $230 (based on the Emperor’s Children Army Set), like the ones released before it. Here is a contents list of what comes in the new Warhammer 40k Space Wolves Army Set box:
- 10x Blood Claws
- 10x Grey Hunters
- 6x Wolf Guard Headtakers (including the wolves)
- 1x Wolf Guard Battle Leader
- 1x Wolf Priest
- 1x Special Edition Codex
- Datacards
Plus, they gave away a free miniature at the preview as well.
Blood Claws: Young, Wild, and Ready to Scrap
Forget patience. Blood Claws are Space Wolves recruits who skipped the stealth and went straight to stabbing. Instead of hanging back like Scout squads from other Chapters, these guys charge first and think second—if at all.
These new sculpts scream “reckless aggression” in the best way possible. Dynamic poses, wild hair, wolf pelts—classic stuff. They’re the heart of the army’s assault game, and they look like they’re having a blast while they’re at it.
Tip: Run them with a Wolf Guard Battle Leader nearby for rerolls and morale boosts. They’ll hit harder, stick around longer, and actually listen (kind of).
Grey Hunters: Grown-Up Blood Claws With Better Aim
Once the Blood Claws calm down a bit—and survive—they become Grey Hunters. These are your flexible, middle-ground troops. Lighter bolt carbines let them shoot on the move while they close in for the kill.
Think of them as the Swiss Army knife of Fenris. They’re not flashy, but they’re efficient, and the new models look like they’ve seen a few campaigns without losing their edge.
Pro move: Use Grey Hunters to hold objectives or support melee units with close-range fire. They’re mobile enough to reposition and still stay relevant.
Wolf Guard Headtakers: Terminator Suits and Wolf Companions? Yes, Please.
This might be the flashiest new unit. Wolf Guard Headtakers are elite veterans who charge headfirst into danger, often with a snarling wolf by their side. They bring the heat in Terminator armor, and their look is pure Space Wolves energy.
These guys are built for hero moments. Expect lots of character, customization, and brutal melee damage.
Heads-up: They’ll probably be high-value targets, so support them with firepower or psychic buffs. Get them into combat fast, and let them go wild.
Wolf Guard Battle Leader: Fenrisian Flair Meets Tactical Muscle
He’s got the vibe of a Lieutenant with the attitude of a pack leader. The Wolf Guard Battle Leader brings some serious tactical flexibility and plenty of style. Multiple loadout options mean you can tailor him to your playstyle—whether you need extra melee punch or buffs.
Pro tip: Pair him with Blood Claws or Grey Hunters to maximize synergy. His leadership can make a big difference in the thick of it.
Wolf Priest: Part Healer, Part War Bard, All Terrifying
Forget the clean-cut Chaplains of other Chapters. Wolf Priests combine the roles of healer and spiritual guide while shouting saga quotes mid-fight through a skull-shaped helmet. They look intense—and that’s the point.
They’re support units, sure, but they’re also hard to ignore. Expect them to bring back fallen warriors, boost morale, and look grim doing it.
Playstyle note: Slot a Wolf Priest into a melee-heavy detachment and enjoy the bonuses. Your units will stick around longer and hit harder.
The New Codex: Space Wolves – Now With More Bite
The updated Space Wolves Codex in the Army Set has everything: background lore, datasheets for 20 unique units, and some serious Fenrisian flavor. It’s the first place to get your hands on it, complete with exclusive art on the cover.
There’s something satisfying about flipping through a new codex with fresh models on your painting desk. This one’s got both in spades.
Should You Get the Army Set?
If you’re a Space Wolves player, this is a no-brainer. It’s the most efficient way to kick off or update your collection, and the new models feel like the spiritual successors of what made the Wolves iconic in the first place.
Even if you’re just starting a new army for 10th edition, this box gives you a solid foundation with aggressive, characterful units and a codex to pull it all together.
Final Howl
The Sons of Russ aren’t just back—they’re setting the tone for the year. With sleek new sculpts, a flavorful codex, and a classic setting (yes, Armageddon again), the Space Wolves 2025 Army Set hits all the right notes.
