Skirax Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Somewhere on this very forum, I saw a thead about the cover of the new HH book. It had russ walking foward, fangs bared and his sword lowered, with 2 wolves walking net to him. It was extremely cartoony compared to the other HH covers, where they looked like photos, this looks like an artists impresion. Please could you find this for me?

Skirax Posted February 21, 2009 Author Share Posted February 21, 2009 That's Geri and Freki? I thought they were just really close friends of his... I hope he's not that close with those poor puppies... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JEFF4i Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 :D I'm sorry, what? When landing on Fenris, Leman was "adopted" by a pack of Wolves. The mother raised him along with Freki And Geri, who by rights, were his siblings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyp100 Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 And that some how lead to his chapter having werewolfs. IDK, it was thinking about how the Primarch up bringing ACTAULLY affected there DNA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodunius Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 And that some how lead to his chapter having werewolfs. IDK, it was thinking about how the Primarch up bringing ACTAULLY affected there DNA. If memory serves one of the Realms of Chaos books mentioned that the Emperor literally imbued the primarchs with chaos-stuff when they were created, this could have made their physiology prone to psychologically induced mutation.

Dyp100 Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Yes, seems likely, a lot of the Primarches were affected by there planet more then just in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirnir Ragefang Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I'm just curious why he is wielding Frostmourne from Warcraft 3. Shouldn't his Frostblade Mjalnar look more like a Chainsword? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A) That barely has any semblance to Frostmourne. Don't insult Warhammer by saying it is copying a failed Warhammer game. :) B) Why would it look like a chainsword?

asmodai650 Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Frost blades are usually chainsword type weapon but the blades are teeth from the Kraken. Look at Ragnars weapon for an example. Or, the old Leman Russ model fron games workshop that had Geri and Freki with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cry Havok Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 A) That barely has any semblance to Frostmourne. Don't insult Warhammer by saying it is copying a failed Warhammer game. :P The new WoW expansion (Wrath of the Lich King) features Arthas clutching Frostmourne, and sold 2.8 million copies in the first 24 hours. Show this to any WoW player (alot of them in this hobby) and I'm sure they'd immediately see it as a ripoff of frostmourne, like I did. down to the blue tinge and slightly changed skull. The biggest difference is the fact that there are runes etched into it. I would've gone as far from that road as I could've, even if that's how I felt Mjalnar looked, because it's so similar. They may be trying to tap into WoW's fanbase, but if anyone else feels like I do, they might piss just as many people off with their copy-catting. As for the art, I agree the wolves look weird, but I :wub: LOVE :wub: his armor, and will be replicating it, no doubt. PS- Sorry if I sound like I'm trolling, it's late :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarl Kjaran Coldheart Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 that image of russ has been around far longer than WoW. why should GW change their art for a bunch of wannabe D&D players? (this is no insult to D&D players...but i have heard many WoW players state how stupid D&D is while on raids) WLK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y'know, I have so many things to say that I'm not going to say any of them. Bottom line is Warhammer>WoW, and GW knows it. Copy-catting...BAH!

Given that really absolutely nothing in Warcraft's lore is original, they're on shakey ground to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I suppose we're in agreement then, that it looks like frostmourne, and while I agree that Warhammer's lore is superior to Warcraft's, that doesn't quite justify rippin' it off does it? As for origionality, Warhammer isn't the most origional universe either. I mean c'mon, Mjalnar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electriceye Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I think the line about Russ "nesting" with a female wolf MIGHT create some confusion as to what actually happened, or do I need to step back up out the gutter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said it might be more than coincidental, not that it was. You're judging on something you don't you. Of course Warhammer isn't the most original, but its moreso than Warcraft.
