So according to Faeit, Space Wolves are coming. Now I wouldn't usually bother to post a Faeit rumour, but another source on warseer is backing them up with some pretty detailed information.
From "Little Bird" on warseer, we have detailed rumours of 2 new flyers for the Space Wolves- the Stormwolf, an assault transport capable of carrying 16 models, and the Stormfang Gunship, capable of carrying 6 models. My guess is they are together as a dual kit. The Stormwolf is a fast attack choice, the Stormfang a Heavy Support. Both have twinlinked heavy bolters and a Helfrost weapon. The Stormfang has a twin-linked lascannon and the Stormwolf has Stormstrike missiles. Both can swap out the bolters for a fancy missile launcher or for twin-linked multi-meltas.
Helfrost weapons have 2 fire modes- focused and dispersed. Focused is S8 AP1, Dispersed is S6 AP3 Blast.
The Stormwolf has a Helfrost Cannon, the Gunship has a Helfrost Destructor. The Destructor has a large blast for its dispersed mode, and its focused mode has the lance special rule.
Models that suffer unsaved wounds from helfrost weapons have to pass a strength test for each unsaved wound or be removed from play.

Sounds like 2 really, really kick-ass flyers. Those Helfrost weapons sound really, really powerful at taking out multi-wound models (and not too shabby at killing marines!). A Stormfang with twin-linked multi-meltas and its Stormstrike missiles swapped out for a twin-linked lascannon sounds like it would be really harsh on enemy Monstrous Creatures (and tanks).
Lets hope the models are as good as the rules!
