WG Vrox Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Would there be a reason for any chapter other than the Great Wolf to have more than one Rune Priest of Wolf Priest, other than apprentices of course?

muzzyman1981 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I'm thinking you mean Great Company? If that is the case then, I would have to say no Great Company actually has any Priests for itself. They are only under control of the Great Wolf who assigns them as needed to the Great Companies as they are needed. Although I may be mistaken about that....there may be a Priest assigned to each Company permanently although I haven't heard of such. To answer the original question though, there may be more Priests assigned to a Great Company for a certain mission or campaign as they are needed...as a matter of fact I'm pretty sure it's a regular happening. However, I don't think the non-Great Wolf Great Companies have Priests for themselves.

Ullr Direfang Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 i would say yes. they are obviously assigned to the chapter for some reason, but maybe they are near a warp storm or on some form of chaos/alien planet. on any type of these kind of planets or situation they would need more moral support/healing (wolf priests) or they want to insure that nothing is trying to harm the minds of the wolves. i personal wouldn't mind being able to field more then on of each of them, but only in a big apoc game. but in most games i feel one or the other is plenty.

WG Vrox Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 I'm thinking you mean Great Company? Just when you think you might not be a whelp,... That's what I get for reading other forums and posting soon there after. :P WG Vrox Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/156540-priests/#findComment-1829906 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Betrayed_Spacewolf Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 im sure every great company has one assigned to them. although its always possible to have more than one Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/156540-priests/#findComment-1830045 Share on other sites More sharing options...
muzzyman1981 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Well I'm sure they may have one assigned to them, but more along the lines of say a Navy Corpsman to a US Marine infantry unit. The Priests still "belong" to the Great Wolf's retinues....unlike other Space Wolves who are given to a Great Company and belong to that Great Company for as long as they serve.

Grantyr Greymantle Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I'm not sure completely how the fluff would go but in a standard game at least there would only be one of each priest at the most assigned to a Great Company, unless I've read things wrong all this time. I don't have a problem with the idea that the assignment to a Great Company could be for a long time - even hundreds of years at a stretch though Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/156540-priests/#findComment-1832334 Share on other sites More sharing options...
muzzyman1981 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Well I'm sure that they can be, and quite frequently are, assigned to a Grat Company for quite awhile, especially if the Priest(s) get along very well with the Wolf Lord of the Great Company but all in all I do believe every Priest is in the Great Wolf's charge in the end.

WG Vrox Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 The reason I was asking is I will be running Erik Morkai's Great Company and was wondering if I run a Rune Priest, should I name him Irnist the Wise due to that being his twin brother.

Combat_Vet Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I want to point out first and foremost, the following is my opinion: I would see several priests of each type assigned to each great company. Aside from the priests that fight, you would have junior priests for day to day functions. The Fang is described as a collection of companies, each with it's own areas. This would mean that you would have priests in the individual company chapels. I cannot see the Wolves NOT having chapels of some type. Also the last Space Wolf book had a Wolf Priest in Ragnar's company, I'd always thought Ulric was Ragnar's priest. Way back in second edition (when fluff was king!), there were ranks of wolf priests. So, to me that adds credit to my opinion. Regardless of opinions, your army is YOUR army. Nothing says what time fram you are playing or what circumstances your army is in. Maybe you have an army on a mission and have a junior priest along. Or maybe your commander's twin brother is healing from the last campaign. In the end it's really up to you (unless you break the rules) Better days, Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/156540-priests/#findComment-1832729 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beef Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 The priests all belong to the great wolf company etc. However it does not state any where that junior priests cant be attached to great companies from time to time. Even senior priest would be. However Wolf priest are looked on with awe by other SW. Grey hunters having a punchup with each can be stopped by just a look from a wolf priest. If these awsome figure who hold much sway are attached to a particular wolf lord they would become ~IMPARTIAL and BIASED. something the great wolf relies on them being when he needs council. It is perfectly feasable for Erik Morkai's Great Company to have Irnist the Wise seconded to them for a particular mission.
