Grey Mage Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 They had to shave it to put the tattoo on properly. It was gonna be bigger but they found out hed spent to much money on booze to cover one that size and gave him the mini version.

the great beaver Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 theyre like the empirium's best friend. he drinks, he lauphs, he fights to defend you, and he does it all with a smile. Space wolves, and white scars are probably the only chapters whose marines smile. if I didnt like how space wolves fight over how white scars fight, I'd have taken them :o Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/148578-why-do-we-love-being-space-wolves/page/2/#findComment-1725550 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jarl Kjaran Coldheart Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Edit:its kinda sad that the Space Wolves, the space marines most human in nature and their actions, are seen by many "good" citizens of the Imperium in such a barbaric fashion. Wait just a darn minute... thats another thing for me. Logan Grimnar is one of the most beloved commanders in the emperium. The eye of terror codex for example talks about regiment upon regiment of imperial gaurd who feel honored just to be on the same battlefield as he is, and how they grew up on his stories. Id say many of the good citizens of the imperium love the space wolves for being who and what they are. The citizens of the Imperium love the Old Wolf, but the leaders of the Imperium view us as animals. mindless monsters, which gives us the upper hand.

Vash113 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 White Scars and Space Wolves share a lot of similar aesthetics and mentalities. They're the only first founding chapter's you'll find wearing pelts and keeping animals and bedecked with totems, charms and necklaces of tooth and claw. Though the White Scars seem to have an unhealthy obsession with speed.

+Rune Priest Delp+ Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 For me id have to say its just the all around fun of being able to have the "war band" like structure of the chaos marines combined with the honor of the marines.

OnlyInDeath Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Why do I love being a space wolf? I went over to the DA thread and there was literally a "i'm ready to quit GW" thread up and running. lots of responses. That alone makes me proud to be a wolf. We have, I believe at this point, THE oldest dex in existence out there. But do we gripe? no. DO we want to quit the game? no. instead we try to find a way that makes us the best damn list out there. THAT is why I am proud to be a spacewolf above all. We dont gripe or bitch about what is out there better than us. We just try to find a way to beat it, and we NEVER try to be cheesey about it. Wolf freaking honor, right there. Ale.

Vash113 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Dang right OID! Have an ale! Though I think the Dark Eldar dex is older, though both codexies are relatively ancient compared to most others.

OnlyInDeath Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Another reason I love us: we actually talk about stuff!!! Take a look at the page count number for any of the other adeptus astartes chapters. we are at 155 PAGES of posts. Even taking into account the number of posts that could have been answered by looking at the FAQ, I think we'd still be adhead. Keep it up you slack jawed yolkels!

JEFF4i Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Though recent, I love playing the Wolves. Only have a Combat Patrol so far, if you can call it that, but they are fun to play. I field my units, and as I set each one down, I recognize it. Not just the commanders. My Ultramarines were rank and file, but my Wolves, for being so young, all have their own tidbits that I added. Also, when I drink my own ale, I feel even closer to them!

Iams Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I agree with Wolf Lord Kieran. Even though my models are incredibly horribly painted I still love the wolves becuase they are wolves.

Freman Bloodglaive Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Though it should be said that because our codex links to the Space Marine 'dex we do get some of the upgrades that the Codex Marines get while other Chapters with stand alone codices don't. To be honest that's how GW should have continued to make the Codex books. That way when shared units and equipment are upgraded all the codices get upgraded at the same time.

Grey Mage Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Yeah, it would have been brilliant... and people would have complained alot that they had to buy another book to make theirs work.

Lord Ragnarok Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I deleted several useless posts. Please keep it friendly and stay on topic. For me I've always loved the barbarian in sci fi setting and I love dogs/wolves. When I saw bareheaded models with axes I was sold.

Wolf freaking honor, right there. Ale. You know, I've seen a few comments in my life that were not so well thought out, but this takes the cake. no one picks dark angels for cheese my friend, and you would be just as upset (and I'm sure will be) when GW takes the 5th edition nerf bat to our codex. the reason we love our codex regardless of it's flaws is because it's amazingly well written, and it's modular to the space marine dex so it gets slight updates every time the CSM is updated. the DA got shafted with a 4th ed codex right before 5th and now theyre getting told to play honourably and take it on the chin, instead of just having an update. I know that if a bunch of monastic dress wearers can get upset at their codex being wonked on, then how will the Fang react?
