Demogerg Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 before the Horus Heresy the Space Wolves were sent to take out Prosporo, Magnus, and the thousand sons, after that event and the Heresy revealed, the Space Wolves started to head back to Terra, on the way they stopped at an adeptus mechanicus world that was under seige, they broke the seige and saved the world from the invaders. That is why the Leman Russ battle tank is named in the Space Wolf Primarchs honor, and that is where one of Russes famous quotes comes from (something to the effect of (an enemy fortress passed is an obstacle avoided, an enemy fortress destroyed is an obstacle removed") but I cant find the name of that world anywhere, I actually cant find the source of the fluff any where.... can anyone help me out? the reason I ask is because I am scratchbuilding a reaver titan, and its going to be named "Vengence of <insert name of world here>" Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/174269-need-some-wolf-fluff/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Growler67 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Was it the "Ambush at Chondax"?

Growler67 Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 ".....the Space Wolves prepared to rendezvous with the nearby White Scars legion in the Chondax system. Before Russ and Khan could formally exchange greetings, the fleet of the Alpha Legion exited the warp, and began to ravage Leman's fleet. The traitors' superior numbers forced the Space Wolf fleet to resort to hit-and-run tactics. As the White Scars began to maneuver to assist them, they received strict orders to return to the Imperial Palace. With great reluctance, Khan forwarded the edict to Russ, adding his apologies, and left for Terra. Russ and his legion stood alone against the traitor fleet, bloodied but unbowed. Eventually, after aid from an 'unexpected quarter, the Space Wolves turned the tables on the Alpha Legion, and warp-jumped to Terra to reinforce the Emperor." Not sure how it'll play into your naming ot fluff but the few references there are have been listed.
