AdeptusDavidus Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 What would a latter-day Chapter have to do to earn the respect, even camaraderie of the Space Wolves? My DIY Raven Guard successor is intensely unorthodox in organization, and shares some of the individualistic, independent mindset that I percieve in the Wolves. Is it probable at all that, if the two Chapters served in the same conflict, they might develop a closeness? The Blackfeather Raiders are more urban-warfare oriented, and might seem a bit less feral than the Wolves, but (from what little I know of the Wolves - and please correct me if I am mistaken) like the Sons of Russ have an independent streak that runs deep, only reinforced by their damaged gene-seed. Would it be so unlikely for a Space Wolf to jokingly say, "Always laugh with Brother Crow, lest his next trick be on you." ?

Vash113 Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Well the Chapter as a whole maybe, maybe not. An individual Great Company is more likely and one with a sense of humor even more so. But it's certainly not beyond the realm of possibility if you want to have your Chapter be aquantances or even friends of the Wolves or some of them anyway. I tie the backstory of my Great Company in with my Imperial Fists 3rd Company, Ultramarines 5th Company, Raven Guard Task Force and even my task force of Grey Knights.

hendrik Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 i can see the wolves build up a friendship with any astartes that gives his live/serves to protect the weaker like the space wolves do, just like the emperor intended them to do:) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/175730-space-wolves-friends/#findComment-2076649 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max_Dammit Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 If they can hold there ale, its all fine I could think of 2 commander having a beer after a successful campaign, and ths becoming close and fighting together for a while and so troops start to become friends.

Kaan Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 .......but (from what little I know of the Wolves - and please correct me if I am mistaken) like the Sons of Russ have an independent streak that runs deep, only reinforced by their damaged gene-seed. What damage to our gene-seed would ye be talkin' about, Laddy? *unsheaths blade* My thoughts would be along the lines of Hendrick's, if you hold the same principles of respect for others, you would do well with Space Wolves Fighting to protect the weak in one's area of influence would be respected. Flexibility in "bending the rules" to maximize the abilities of troopers/units/armies would be respected (don't be putting Space Wolves on objective guard duty when there is some assaulting that needs to be done. Imperial Fists or the stubborn Dark Angels would be better for that......Mr. El Johnson could have stood to learn that lesson). Boasts are to be done AFTER the deeds, (not the other way around) and then, only in the ale house! Give everyone a shot at glory!

You know the pokey end goes into the traitor right? And the hollowed out end is always pointed towards the xenos? Cool. Its entirely within reason that wed accept you, on a GC to GC basis, if we fought alongside one another in several campaigns, or one fairly intense one. Itd probly take several thousand years to get a full chapter to chapter alliance going without an heretofore unmentioned apocalypse having been averted.

AdeptusDavidus Posted August 11, 2009 Author Share Posted August 11, 2009 Well, thanks to all of you for the replies. :( Most of the business about my DIY is best reserved for a Liber Astartes post (which I intend to write up ... at some point ... right after I finish my counts-as bikers), but the gist of it is that the damaged gene-seed forces the Blackfeather Raiders to recruit adults, rather than youths. The reasons for that tend to draw a distrusting eye from the Inquisition, but the Raiders have generally assuaged their concerns through unnecessary displays of loyalty, usually in the form of aiding any Imperial force that will accept their help. They're far under-strength, due to the harsh restraints on their recruiting, and being forced to recruit adults tends to result in more individualistic, independent-minded marines, and marines who still feel more connected to the average helpless schlubs of the Imperium. Short version: Small chapter, unconventional, relatively humanitarian (they're still stone-cold killers, of course - they are Space Marines after all), well-developed, albeit rather dark sense of humour. Sounds like they'd get along swimmingly with the Wolves.

Grey Mage Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Oh yes.... well get along just fine. SWs tend to be one of the most humanitarian chapters, and thatll get you booku bonus points from us.

Jonas Stromclaw Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Sounds good! As said before, would be a great company by great company deal but by the sound of things my Banewolves would be more than willing to go into battle beside Brother Crow! (and yes I came up with the name before that stupid guard light tank.... :muttered cursing continues:) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/175730-space-wolves-friends/#findComment-2076858 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hrathnar Flintfang Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 I actually had the exact same idea a couple of years ago, and have been slowly working on a book I hope to see about publishing that involves a chapter which ends up gaining close ties to a couple of great companies! Its interesting to hear about someone else with a similar idea. I don't want to put any ideas up yet because I would rather finish writing things out first, but I for one think it is a wonderful idea, for obvious reasons.

Wolf Guard Nostromo Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Bring ale... Quickly, quickly... Well done, you passed the test. As long as you don't mind the occassional 'tankard to the face' greeting you'll do fine :P For bonus points, don't shave for a while and start eating more red meat. Showers/baths also :) . In seriousness, strong sense of honour and camaraderie as well as a lust for combat and glory. This could be developed pretty quickly in a death or glory style campaign. You also don't have any pointy-eared or 'Green-armoured robe-wearing' friends do you?

Lord Ragnarok Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 As has been eluded, and what you probably know yourself, we wolves and the RG's were besieging an Iron Warrior stronghold during I believe the "Scouring". and we witnessed the WereGeld being used to route the enemy. It was stated there was a feeling of familiarity due to our curse of the Wulfen and the similarities involved. This saga is only spoken of within the halls of the Fang. Aside from that I don't see SW's as being particularly attracted to fighting with RG's, nor opposed. It would be situational probably and depend on how the current force does battle. RG's would have a little bit different fighting style I would think. Space Wolves being a punch you right in the face as hard as we can while RG's would hit you a little less hard but move and it from many angles.

slmellon Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Like wookies, wolves believe in life debt repayment, say your marines saved a GCs butt once upon a time and over the course of a few hundred years of payback and forths there has grown some bond or the like. Didnt the Great wolf bendover backwards for an inquistor for Russ' sake in the space wolf books? We repay our debts.
