13thWarrior Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I am re-reading William King's Ragnar's Claw and notice a description in a passage on page 332 of the Space Wolf Omnibus ... "He (Ragnar) glanced along the row of shaven heads, each with the one long strip of hair across the skull that was the mark of the Blood Claw ..." I had not noticed this before. Is their more evidence in literature, codexes, stories, articles, fluff, etc., etc., to support this description? I have two models that adhere to this look that I am converting to Blood Claws This one has a bolter that I need to change! http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/4870/spameq8.jpg I am modelling my LongFangs and WolfGuard and Characters as mature bearded warriors (some older and longer in the beard). My theme is, as mentioned before, The 13th Warrior and most of my models are without helmets or have the headgear on their belts. == REDACTED - JUVENILE & NONCONSTRUCTIVE ==? Comments? Answers?

Ra1stl1n Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 From what i've understood,blood claws are generally shaven while grey hunters and up are not.Wolf guard and lords do as they please and most long fangs are generally hairy because of the geneseed. Edit: Shaven refers to facial hair and not the head mind you.

lunchb0x Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Edit: Shaven refers to facial hair and not the head mind you. How do you figure? In the bit he listed, it says shaved heads...and it sounds like a mohawk?

Vash113 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 King's novels are alright but they don't get all the fluff tid bits right. Blood Claws do not wear facial hair, they only start growing beards when promoted to Grey Hunter. Ragnar was never a Grey Hunter and so does not wear facial hair even to this day.
