If that’s not a cause for Space Wolf rejoicing I don’t know what is. The new Venerable Dreadnought kit makes three distinct war machines – including the brand-new Murderfang, a fantastic (and slightly terrifying) character which we’ve got the rules for later on in the issue – and it’s absolutely packed with components. Expect to see an influx of Space Wolf armies among the White Dwarf team soon… especially with the advent of the new Space Wolves Codex, which all Sons of Russ should find thoroughly absorbing. In fact, it’s a bumper week for new releases, culminating in two very special Space Wolf limited edition sets – the appropriately-named Long Fang and Wolf Guard editions. Lovely stuff. If you’re a Space Wolf collector we’d love to see pictures of your painted miniatures – drop us a line at [team@whitedwarf.co. uk with](team@whitedwarf.co. uk with) your Fenrisian goodness. I hope you enjoy the issue! Jes Bickham-White Dwarf Editor Deep within the sarcophagus of a Venerable Dreadnought lie the interred remains of a Space Wolf hero . Their lives sustained indefinitely by their armoured suits, they still serve the Chapter, battling the enemies of Mankind for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. The Space Wolves Venerable Dreadnought is an armoured colossus, a walking wall of adamantium and ceramite. Like all Dreadnoughts, the pilot’s life-support system is housed in the war machine’s torso, the sarcophagus covered in Chapter icons, talismans and wolf’s head totems. As a celebrated warrior of the Chapter, the Venerable Dreadnought can choose his wargear from the Chapter’s extensive armoury. This multi-part plastic kit includes many of those weapons, from the apocalyptically cold helfrost cannon to the great wolf claw – a larger, more powerful version of the lightning claws carried into battle by Wolf Guard Terminators. Other Dreadnought pilots eschew the use of ranged weaponry entirely, preferring to carry a Fenris ian great axe and blizzard shield, two of the Chapter’s most revered artefacts and deadly weapons in the gauntlets of such
