Leman Russ and the Warp

Wulfen aren't mutants in the 'traditional' sense. 'Normal" mutations are caused by evolution/genetic deviation or the intervention of the Chaos powers whilst the Curse is a by-product of the SW's gene seed.

 

Beyond the exceptional circumstances of Madox's hugely elaborate spell in Wolf's Honour, the Curse can manifest anywhere and susceptibility to it does not increase due to proximity of the Immaterium.

 

Members of 13th Company described in C:EOT and Wolf's Honour do not suffer from mutations but, as one would expect, after 10,000 years or so, some have fallen to the Curse and now fight as Wulfen.

 

So, in my opinion, no, he will return in the same condition as he left but minus a few bits of kit he's left around the place and which has since been recovered: His spear, armour etc.

Me, I like to think that this is Russ. Not a Wulfen, but something beyond... to take a bit from D&D (god, it's so useful. What did I do before I started playing?) I think he'll be more of the Primal Beast. The great amalgamation of fangs, fur, and claws that all beasts are but mere shadows of. Basically, he'll come back a really kickass Werewolf of DOOOM!

Let's say Wulfen is #2 at the bottom, Wulf Guard/Lord is #3, Russ is the last one, and that's his size compared to the rest.

Hes the cloth wrapped stranger whos leading the 13nth company. Hes now talking with logain grimnar and catching up on the last 10 thousand years.

 

boy i hope not! he is going to be one pissed primarch!!!

 

i wonder how quickly the Inquisition can muster a force against fenris???

not fast enough me thinks.

 

WLK

Feh, if they even tried to come near Fenris and its system... *adopts Cornholio voice* yeah! yeah! FIRE!!!!! :blink:

 

And those few fools that manage to reach the blessed soil of our home will be met personally by me and DB. We'll introduce those =][= pigs to Mrs. Exterminatussock and Mr. Ragnaroksock... Between the two of us, we oughta be able to hold off the invasion fleet. You lot can mop up the rest in space. Never quite liked the idea of space travel meself. :)

i dunno, i see any challange to the High Lords not going easy...

 

especially if they declare russ a traitor.

my friends and i have debated this, and we all agree on the same answer. regardless of who wins, the imperium would shattered.

 

WLK

from the debate, it would be many of the first founding chapters (and their immediate offshots) rallying to russ, whereas the more recent chapters stay loyal to the imperium.

russ's return would have effects on both the navigators and mechanicus.

 

the guard would favor russ , due to his being awesome and not wasteful of lives, and the reputation the Space Wolves have to the common man of the Imperium.

 

the big decider, and i hate to say this, is where the ultramarines would go. they have enormous authority and repect of both space marines and normal imperial citizens.

the Inquistion would largely fall in line with the High Lords, but i can see a small amount of them breaking to Russ (say no more than 25%).

 

this would leave the high lords with the "loyal" mechanicus, inquisition, guard and space marines.

 

the Custodes themselves could end the matter quickly by meeting Russ. they could verfy russ for who he is and remoive the HIgh Lords on one swipe.

 

or so my groups says.

 

WLK

Including the ultramarines. I dont care for them personally, but the two are brothers... not close brothers but still. You know russ would do what he could for his stasified sibling and the emperor.

 

I think the biggest thing would be ascertaining that hed remained untainted after all this time. A few inquisitors, the custodes, and some rune priests later and hed have his seat on the High lords council.

add to the broth that a lot of chapters would take issue with "the space wolves" being called traitors and would take it as a afront to the astartes as a whole the bonds to the primarchs are at the core of astartes faith as it were

 

but you all presume that russ would want to take control of the imperium thats just not his style hes a combat leader like dorn in that regard

 

on a side note could the union of the two socks not destroy the bonds of reality if unleashed at the same time :lol:

Actually, any returning Loyalist Primarch still has the right to be heard in the High Lords. Sort of a second job, so to speak. ;)

 

Besides, the Inquisition won't be judging whether he's corrupted or not. That would be left to the incorruptibles, the Grey Knights. If they say he's untainted, not even the High Lords can challenge that finding. Then they have to let him join in their debates. :P Carnage will no doubt ensue. ;)

Hes the cloth wrapped stranger whos leading the 13nth company. Hes now talking with logain grimnar and catching up on the last 10 thousand years.

I actually like that idea a lot.

 

maybe he was not able to find what he was looking for to decide the fate of the Emperor, so he does not want to reveal himself, but he wanted to "check in" with his sons.

Whether we like to admit it or not If Russ did ever come back he would be declared traiter and shut away in a lab for the rest of his days. The High Lords would not back him, Hell other SM chapters would not back him. How can they be sure he is Russ. They have no loyalty to him.
You are forgetting that russ left on a mission, to find a cure for the Emperor, Russ would not return with a vow unfufilled, so russ coming back means you get the big E back as well, possibly other loyal primarchs as well, if it was in his power he would not leave guilliman or johnson to rot
