Mr. Bleak Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Hey guys, I just have a few questions about the Space Wolves during the Heresy and I figured some of you Heresy gurus could help! 1. What was the Space Wolves colour scheme during and before the Heresy? Using the SM Painter to show me would be great! 2. I know that they fought the 1K Sons on Prospero, but what other battles did they take part in during the Heresy? 3. Where were they during the Siege of Terra? 4. What happened to Leman Russ after the Heresy? 5. What impact did the Horus Heresy have on their Legion specifically? Help is really appreciated guys, all the answers would be going into a Pre-heresy/Heresy era Space Wolves project!

Wolf Lord Mjolnir Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Hi dude, I have a Pre heresy Space Wolf army that I am working on at the moment - here is my blog To answer your questions: 1. They wore dark grey armour - see my blog for colour 2. Not many named battles but they faught the Alpha Legion who were sent to delay the Wolves arriving on earth as reinforcements. They were with the White Scars at the time but the White Scars had to leave and get to earth asap. The Khan (Primarch of the White Scars) sent his regrets to Russ before they left for Earth effectively leaving the Wolves to face their fate against the Alpha Legion unaided. There is no lasting emnity between the Wolves and White Scars as the White Scars did not want to leave but were ordered to reinfroce earth asap. 3. As stated in 2 Horus delayed the Wolves returning to earth as reinforcements by sending the Alpha Legion to surprise attack them. 4. Leman Russ remained after the Horus Heresy to lead the Wolves for around 1000 years or less. During a great feast Russ suddenly stood up as if he was hallucinating. After this passed he gathered his best men together and left for the Eye of Terror (not sure if destination was confirmed as Eye of Terror) and was never seen again. He left his youngest Wolf Guard to lead the Space Wolves in his absence - this was Bjorn the Fell-Handed who later become a dreadnought. Subsequent Great Wolf Lords have led Great Crusades to search for Russ. Every crusade has always done a great deed for the safety of the Imperium and the Space Wolves have recovered Russ' original armour - other than that no evidence of Russ has ever been found. Russ' last words were that he would return to his Legion for the end of times - the Wolf Times and that he woukd return from whatever bonds held him even if thagt was death! 5. Following the HH all the Legions were split into Chapters. Russ resisted at first but when civil war was about to break out between Space Marines he and the other resisting Primarchs backed down for the good of the Imperium. Russ allowed only one split of his Legion to found the Wolf Brothers. For some reason the Wolf Borther chapter did not last long and degenerated into nothing and no longer exists. With this in mind it could be suggested that the current strength of the Space Wolf Chapter is comparable to a pre heresy legion! If you are doing a pre heresy Space Wolf army then I really recommend the 'Visions of Heresy' art book - loads of good images of pre heresy Space Wolves and Leman Russ and a story about the attack on Prospero and details about Bjorn teh Fell-Handed - like he feared ever becoming a dreadnought before his incarceration in one! Hope this helps. Mjol Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/166474-space-wolves-in-the-heresy/#findComment-1960496 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hrvat Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Russ led the Legion 197 years after the HH. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/166474-space-wolves-in-the-heresy/#findComment-1960902 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sons of Horus Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 1. dark grey 2. this i'm not so sure but i do know that the 13th company fought a long hard battle against dark eldar according to Tales of Heresy. 3. they were not present during the siege of Terra because they were either delayed or simply too far away to get there in time. 4. he took the 13th company and went into the warp. 5. a chunk of the SW died just like all the other legions.

Durfast Spiritwolf Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 1. dark grey2. this i'm not so sure but i do know that the 13th company fought a long hard battle against dark eldar according to Tales of Heresy. 3. they were not present during the siege of Terra because they were either delayed or simply too far away to get there in time. 4. he took the 13th company and went into the warp. 5. a chunk of the SW died just like all the other legions. 2. The story in TofH was pre-Heresy, the call to join Russ may well have been in preparation for the assault on Prospero. 3. See Mjolnir's comprehensive answer. 4. Russ sent the 13th into the Eye in pursuit of the Thousand Sons, Russ himself went later with his bodyguard. 5. Especially seeing that the SW Legion was smaller than most and its fleet took a hard knock from the Alpha Legion.

Wolf Lord Mjolnir Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 That's right Durfast - I don't know where people are getting the idea that Russ went with the 13th Legion at Prospero. I have never read it anywhere and yet loads of people think that is the way it went. @Durfast - how's the army coming? I only have to get a certain Mr Big Wolf and a Fellblade painted :-) Mjol Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/166474-space-wolves-in-the-heresy/#findComment-1961565 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dietrich Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Russ did not go with the 13th company after the Thousand Sons. When Russ left Fenris, he disappeared. There's a lot of speculation that he might gone into the Eye of Terror to fight Chaos, but this occured about 200 years after the 13th company disappeared.

Imriel Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Don't forget his armor was found in a chaos (Kharne's I believe) temple. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/166474-space-wolves-in-the-heresy/#findComment-1963166 Share on other sites More sharing options...
malika666 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Don't forget his armor was found in a chaos (Kharne's I believe) temple. Meaning he might have ended up running around naked. This could either be from him being drunk, becoming a nudist or perhaps he no longer needed clothes because he got fur (Warp...Wulfen...you know what I'm thinking) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/166474-space-wolves-in-the-heresy/#findComment-1964208 Share on other sites More sharing options...
