This mornings little rumor has it that GW is coming out with a new one that will be usable for all the armies that need wolves in both fantasy and 40k. Here is the rumor and how it slipped out.
Please remember that this is a rumor and requires a little salt, even though it seems quite plausible. The rumor contains no timetable or even hints at one, so it could be quite a while.

New Wolf model coming.
Not sure if this is news or if it's already come up before but one of the Forgeworld guys let it slip to me that they won't be doing wolves with the new hobgoblins because they will be using new plastic ones from GW.
One kit will build 5 wolves I think that's bad for O&G because I think they get 8 in a box now but the wolves sound cool and they are apparently big enough for a space marine.
I don't play 40k so I don't care but I think that makes them bigger then the current wolf.
The guy told me that the plastic sprue makes 5 wolves and that you will GW and Forgeworld will use them for everything that needs a wolf.
The wolves are clean so anyone can use them as packs so any model that goes on them will need to have the saddle on them as the wolf model is just a wolf.
Not sure how this works with the goblin chariot as don't you need 3 wolves to make a chariot I really didn't think to ask about that but then again not sure he would know as he doesn't work for GW.
