This is it true believers GW has dropped the list of Space Marine chapters and special characters involved in what may be the Space Wolf End Times!

There’s more teasers for new Thousand Sons, Magnus, and the long awaited Curse of Wulfen Book. But perhaps more importantly the Imperial side as well!

Someone better wake up Bjorn again, it’s about to go down at the fang!

First off checkout the recent trailer:

As their enemies close in on all sides, could this be the end for the Space Wolves?

Catch up on the saga so far here:

Vengeance is coming to Fenris for Prospero, as Magnus and Ahriman seem to have buried the hatchet, and have some new weapons to deploy against the rout!

It looks like the rumors were true and we will see Magnus and his merry men in the return to harass Fenris for a battle 10,000 years in the making, next week! Now checkout what Games Workshop had to say today about the new supplement:

At the end of Curse of the Wulfen, the Space Wolves Chapter hung on the precipice. With the return of the Wulfen, the suspicion of the wider Imperium, who hadn’t always seen the feral Fenrisians in the best of lights, turned to outright hostility. Fanned by the deceitful words of the daemonic Changeling, the Dark Angels had assembled a mighty crusade to bring the wolves to heel and, if the situation demanded it, rid the Imperium of the wayward Chapter once and for all.

The new book opens as the righteous, but misguided, might of Imperial justice begins to rain down on the worlds of the Fenris System.

One thing we can share with you today is the Dramatis Persona from the new book.

Lots of Space Wolves, as you’d imagine, but it also looks like the Daemons of Tzeentch and several imperial factions have not yet finished their involvement in the story, for good or ill.

Here’s the list of characters they provide:

It’s interesting that Grand Master of the 3rd Brotherhood (of which Stern is the brother-captain) Valdar Aurikon is making an appearance in this book now, because he has some very interesting novel story background that may foreshadow what is about to happen on Fenris:

Wrath of Magnus curse of the wulfen

it’s almost like they’ve been preparing us for the worst this whole time….

All hands are on deck for what may be the twilight of the Vlka Fenryka, and the damning of the Dark Angels, once again….

But don’t forget for every plot line in 40k, there is always a counter:

“Listen closely Brothers, for my life’s breath is all but spent. There shall come a time far from now when our Chapter itself is dying, even as I am now dying, and our foes shall gather to destroy us. Then my children, I shall listen for your call in whatever realm of death holds me, and come I shall, no matter what the laws of life and death forbid. At the end I will be there. For the final battle. For the Wolftime.” (last words of Leman Russ)
