Shaantitus Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Gentlemen of the fang.... Greetings Before you guys cut me into small pieces and use me as a condiment on the boars for your next kegger please hear me out. There are a couple of things i will say here that will disapoint you all. Firstly i am a diciple of chaos. I have about 8-9000 pts of Chaos, about 4-5000 of both black legion and chaos renegades. I have about 3000 pts of nids as well. However when i was first introduced into the world of warhammer 40K(playing epic space marine) the Space wolves figured very heavily in the original space marine rulebook. I found the models for 40k very interesting also. It was around this time that the model for Beorn the Fell handed was released. I allways thought it was a very cool model along with a very cool name. Well, I just won an auction on ebay for a mint unpainted Beorn the Fell Handed Dreadnought and I intend to paint him up as befits a warrior of his caliber. However i was wondering what his current status is in the current fluff. Is he still around? If not what was his fate?

Marek Grimfang Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Venerable Bjorn the Fell Handed currently slumbers awaiting his awakening and new found life of slaughter in the 5th Ed. SW Codex. Should be waking in around 16 months or so.

Jarl Kjaran Coldheart Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 the venerable Bjorn rests in unquiet slumber when his expertise in not needed by the Wolves of Russ. When threats arise greater then what the current Great Wolf can handle, he awakens Bjorn and asks for his guidance, his knowledge of warfare. On exceptional occasions, venerable Bjorn has led warriors of Russ in battle, though this is only when no others can be found. for while the weight of time hasnt lessened his warrior skills, venerable Bjorn's greatest value to us Wolves is his knowledge of Russ, the Wolves and our history. Another important task of venerable Bjorn is to quiz the Rune Priests of our chapter on the history of the Space Wolves, making sure no flaw has emerged in the years he slumbers in the Fang.

Vassakov Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Game wise - None at the moment. The model just represents a Venerable Dreadnought. Rumour has it that he will return for us with Russ, at the Wolftime (ie when we get a new Codex).

Shaantitus Posted September 29, 2008 Author Share Posted September 29, 2008 Thankyou. Good to hear he could be back. He must be one of the most enduring characters in the fluff.

WolfLordLars Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I won an auction for that model as well, about two years ago. The guy sent me a generic Ven Dread, which I promptly sent back to get the right box (with the back banner and poster card banner). He sits in my bitz box, waiting the day when he can return to the realm of the living.

MaveriK Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 now that you've gotten the answers from my wolf battle brothers, all I can say is good luck with the model! and keep us posted on how the painting is going, there are plenty of references and fluff on Bjorn in the 2nd Edition codex, more so than the current codex. Here are some models of our Old one's: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...howtopic=141480 Before you guys cut me into small pieces and use me as a condiment on the boars for your next kegger alright, now that's its all been said and done disciple of chaos, do you prefer to be cut down with my frost blade or should I feed you to the wolves of Fenris? better yet.. a raging Wulfen? either way as you said, times run out and its time to cut you into small pieces while I have myself a kegger or two with my wolf brothers here! hahaha jk jk jk.. or am I? mmm I must be getting soft in my old age as I am actually giving you a choice bahahahahaha jk welcome to the FANG and goodluck on the model, make us proud!

The God Emperor Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Come to my reclusive part of the Fang where my company toils away, train in the art of war and drawing!!!!! You shall be inducted we share the same heretical thoughts/mentality. The Emperor doesn't deserve our blood and sweat, all he deserve is the teeth of my Frost Blade. Only Russ can expect my blood and the blood of my brothers. Anyway, Bjorn next year, so thats 8-14 months from now instead of 16. My store manager hints at this particular 8-14 months.

barek Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 We still can't figure out how he did it - being a dreadnaught and all- but the last time he was awake he complained about a terrible hangover. He's snoring now in the Fang. The young dread's can't sleep. The priests don't know to do, Russ is gone and our best Rune Priest suffers from anxiety attack for he fears the return from the Valkeries which divides our beloved chapter...
