Ant Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 You have to admit, Space Wolves players are by far the most enthusiastic. Dont you think? All the other players aren't half as enthusiastic as us being drunken space-vikings! :) Rejoice in your individuality brothers.

Durfast Spiritwolf Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Not quite as 'enthusiastic' as Orks but then they are just plain weird/annoying! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/167470-this-is-a-tribute/#findComment-1973595 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEFF4i Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I will say, when it comes down the rolls sometimes I'll shout and give hugs to my teammates, :o As I said in another thread, one time some boyz had 74 attacks assaulting my terminators, 17 wounds, and I saved every single one. I shouted YES! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/167470-this-is-a-tribute/#findComment-1973638 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryzouken Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 We are among the most bombastic players out there, and certainly some of the friendliest, or so I've noticed. (though, don't get us riled lest we chew up your sneakers and leave "presents" on your carpets) Wish I knew why that is. I think it has something to do with the age of our codex. During 4th, for example, we and Orks (up till the end) didn't have as good a chance at winning a game as other armies, so we tended to adopt a lackadaisical approach to the game itself. I imagine this behaviour, coupled with the generally older ages of most of us, lended itself to a positive demeanor. It was the only way we could keep playing our army! Then 5th hit and both we and Orks became somewhat strong. Played right, we do well, and we retained our happy go lucky demeanor. OR I could just be blowing smoke out of my arse. Either is entirely likely. Do wonder why we wolves are so nice...

WG Vrox Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Agreed, I would have no problem walking up to a total stranging knowing they play wovles and chatting with them, a certain disposition can be expected as well as a mutal bond towards a fellow wolfbrother. If I came to find out they are a B&C member/reader so much the better. WG Vrox.

Wolf Guard Hengist Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 This will all end when I reckon when the spotty powergamers covered in nerd froth will swarm around the new codex at least untill the one ofter it comes out. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/167470-this-is-a-tribute/#findComment-1973793 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WG Vrox Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Well Power Gamers will not be content being called whelp or pups, so they most likely will not be hanging around the fang much. But yeah I expect an influx of those types, and we grey hairs will still be here when they leave. WG Vrox.

Ryzouken Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 On the note of the incoming bandwagoners, is anyone but me actually enthusiastic at the proposition? I mean, we can reasonably expect that about 6-12 months after our dex is released, we'll have choice pickings of any of the new models that come out for our dex, for incredible mark downs on the secondary markets. eBay, consignment cases, all around the country/world the market for used SW models will be so glutted, we'll be able to get things as cheap as 50-70% off! The prospects of it, makes me giggle like a quartermaster glutted on the "special stock". Side note: is it still shameless capitalist opportunism if the poor sots bring it on themselves?

Wolf Guard Hengist Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I'm not looking forward to the new Dex period. A bunch of hairy Wolveri... Wolf Guards running around with Lightning Claws "coz we r wolves" just isnt what Space Wolves mean to me. I'd me more than happy with a massively FAQ'd codex like the Blood Angels, our codex would rock this way becuase of the magic phrase that some genius at GW came up with "Refer to C:SM", Hoo Rah give that man a pay rise! Rant over.... EDIT: I forgot to add I think its our Venerable Codex that makes us lot here a good ol bunch of lads!

Actally, that quote wasnt anything special. There was a day, far far before the beginnings of "today" when many armies had "Supplemental" dexes, which refered to larger books.

erik ironfang Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I forgot to add I think its our Venerable Codex that makes us lot here a good ol bunch of lads! heh heh...every now and again I bring out my second edition codex, the old yellow and blue rules books, and the old school wargear book, and show up to tournaments and act like I don't know I'm 3 rules editions behind...I break out a D10 and the old "jam" dice and tell everyone I haven't played for a few years but want to get back into the game...I always laugh when some vanilla marine pup finally gets the nerve to tell me my codex is outdated...but the funny thing is it is only outdated by 1 release! Venerable codex indeed! My Wolfbrothers and I were at Adepticon in 2008 and by the time the final round came up we were too drunk to see our dice so we had some random unattended kid help us read the dice...good times!

KiltedMarine Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 IMWO (In My Wolfy Opinion), I think the tendency described is 'cause us and Orks tend to be motivated by the thrill of "Dude, that's just too cool!" in terms of fluff and character, rather than motivated by "Fear the power of my fully armed and operational Codex!" I can name a couple of Chapters (both, incidentally, named for "angels" though I'm not naming any names) that seem to attract more rules-intensive players...

GW screws up some stuff, but they've always kept us thoughtful, look at the Ragnar series and all of our dex's to date.

Megalodon Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 The true Space Wolf players are the most down to earth and friendly gamers out there! They are more concerned over how cool Space Wolves are than about the power level of their codex. He relishes the thought of his victories being told as great Sagas by the Rune Priests, and each defeat is marked as a grudge to be avenged. So fear not the uncertainty of a new codex my Wolf brothers for we care not about the silly rules. It's about Ale drinking, superhuman Vikings in space that a true Son of Russ cares for. Besides if you are worried Phil Kelly has written our Codex and boy did he do right by those foul Orks.

Wolf Guard Hengist Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 I think that the Phil Kelly thing could be a double edged sword, on one side of the coin I think to myself that he will make a fantastic job and make a really nice Codex that we will all love. Then I look at the other side of the coin and think about the Nob Biker/Battlewagon lists of doom that plague the world and I worry that there will be units in our Codex on par with this. I know the honorable Wolves around here would shun such lists but I know at least 20 scum bags around my area who will jump at the chance.

Max_Dammit Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 There will be a lot of new blood yes and lets hope GW makes a new dex real soon after ours so only the new blood that has wolf genes stick around and the rest can move on. I'm sure we'll get some good recruits out of this as well :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/167470-this-is-a-tribute/#findComment-1974833 Share on other sites More sharing options...
