Wolfwing, my pasty behind!

I'd run with Grimguard or Russblade, with my personal interests running more towards the latter.... ALthough...

 

 

Grimblade?

 

Sounds too generic, honestly, as do all the names with just Wolf tackled on somewhere. I'd either make a solid reference to Logan as the list revolves around taking him (Logan's Heroes was made in jest, but it could work, as could Logan's Company, Logan's Speartip, Logan's Fine Dining Establishment, etc.) or just something simple like 1st Company.

 

Logan's Spear or Speartip

Logan's Claw

Logan's Hunt or Great Hunt

Logan's Call

Logan's Gathering

 

Anything but Logan's Heroes!

See, this is the exact opposite extreme to simply using generic fantasy-esque names: very obscure, specific names. I mean, don't let me stop you from using the name to refer to your army, but just about anyone who hasn't heard of that band or that historical group of warriors would be left scratching their heads.

 

The Varangian Guard is a rather well known part or Europe's history. I would hope most Space Wolves players would be familiar with it at least a little bit. It is where the name Russ comes from.

I actually quite like that name and it is fitting.

I'm calling mine Grimwing! :lol:

 

6 painted FW SW termies, 3 unpainted generic termies ready to be converted. 5 old termies ready to be hacked up. and 2 boxes of wolf guard on order. also 2 boxes of semi assembled chaos termies that maybe could be used.

Perhaps, but as a personal analogy as an American who seriously considered Space Wolves before deciding to play Blood Angels, I hadn't heard of them. ;)

 

But really though, what's in a name?

How about "The Pack of the Great Wolf"?

 

Too long. Put another way, anyone can say Air Cav and immediately images are conjured of Imperial Guard in Valkyries. Names like "The Pack of the Great Wolf," "The Speartip," etc., don't conjure up units of Wolf Guard. Logan's Heroes, on the other hand...<_<

 

But, again, this is mostly subjective and you should use what you like.

Ok... for a more tongue in cheek suggestion... how about a Wolfinator Army... (Yay for made up words!)

Loganwing. The reason all TDA (or predominantly TDA) armies are called "...wing" us because, unfortunately the Deathwing did it first. Its an iconic army, and whenever I think of an all TDA army I instantly think of two things. The Battle for Macragge (Ultramarines 1st) and Deathwing. It's become such a memorable word that adding "...wing" to the end of an army name is to signify that "yes...it's all terminators...yes you may now cry". The preceding word is usually some discriptive signifier to provide further information.

 

Much like Lysanderwing implies an Imperial Fists TDA heavy army led by Lysander, Loganwing implies a Space Wolf FDA army led by Logan Grimnar.

Well Im an american who seriously considered blood angels before deciding to play wolves and my 8 year old cousin can tell you all about the varangians! Its a good name, lets go with it. Nothing wrong with Logan's Heroes either.
