DGC Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Just read this on the DA forums in reply to asking how to defeat the Wolves of Fenris The righteous fire of our weapons shall consume them, cleanse their unworthy forms, and purge their unclean beast! Target any thing fast, brethren. Bring plasma cannons to deal with warriors on mounts. Use missile launchers to bring their ale-smelling transports to a halt, some lascannons to stop the lord of their host in his personal land raider. Use whatever you have to stop bikers and jump troops. Crush them without remorse! Once they are on foot, pour fire onto them! The humble bolter may not be the best weapon for sweeping their ranks, but use it! As they vainly struggle to close in, pour bolter fire onto them, with the piercing stabs and blasts of heavier weapons forming the bass to the baritone on the bolter. Then as the last remains of their host close in, draw back where they are strong, and keep pouring in fire. Where they are weak, rush forth, and crush them! Break their line, come in behind them, encircle them, smite them with the fury of the Sons of the Lion! This, then, is how the Lion shall triumph over the Wolf! In the name of the Emperor, the Lion, and the Chapter. I read this more like "Keep your distance at all costs. Pour everything you have into their ranks and keep retreating, all the while giving yourself more time to keep shooting at them before the inevitable happens. Lets face it, we're gonna die" Especially the "When they are weak, rush forth..." bit. They know they are no match for us Strange, the first four or so comments to that request for aid in trampling the Wolves were from other Wolves. Do they have dresses under their furs???

Zemox Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 It is just some fanatical jackass trying to tell himself that the DAs can stand up to the feral wolves of fenris :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/179873-do-the-da-fear-us/#findComment-2128866 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimmwulf Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 This Dark Angel player was just trying to bolster the morale of the other Sons of Johnson. They really are pretty screwed with their current codex and i really respect every DA player who still plays with it. That is a true sign of dedication to your army. I really don't think they fear us. They just know that they will have a hard time agains us, like against most other newer codicies. Although his tactics to beat us is debatable I still think that guy deserves an ale. Or maybe a milk if he doesn't like the smell :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/179873-do-the-da-fear-us/#findComment-2128870 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decoy Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Cross-Forum flamebaitery. I don't normally mind a good rousing of those... Kazoos ... but let's keep the antagonizing to a minimum, shall we? Maybe we can have a cross-forum Arena of Death in honor of the new Dex, or something. Let's try to avoid it in a thread, though.

Wolf Guard Dan Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Yah I think the DA's are afraid. I was at my local GW preordering my SW Codex this weekend and someone tried talking smack about our Beloved Leman Russ. He was either Smurf or DA. But my guess is on DA. He was playing Dark Elves, and we all know the DA are as sexually deviant as Dark Elves just a little more confused :D That is why they wear dresses. I wasn't going to burst his bubble about why the Dark Angels are named as such. Might ruin his fun. Edit: Not that there is anything wrong with that.

Hfran Morkai Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Hey! I offered them help because they requested it. After all it's only airsoft! We all serve the Emperor and I decided that you never know when our brothers may run into some of the wolves that have left the pack for good. Much better to have them prepared for a contact to wipe out that stain upon our honour.

Much better to have them prepared for a contact to wipe out that stain upon our honour. A true thing you speak there, brother. And for whenever we have our little...'practise' battles, it is best they know (or at least they think they know) how to fight us, otherwise we will be come complacent and dull in both mind and claw. Best to keep our opponents sharp, so that we can become even sharper :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/179873-do-the-da-fear-us/#findComment-2129314 Share on other sites More sharing options...
publius Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Strange, the first four or so comments to that request for aid in trampling the Wolves were from other Wolves. Do they have dresses under their furs??? I have noticed that there are a lot of wolves in the Dark Angels forum as of late :) Light hearted nature of this thread aside, I think the answer to the OP is "about as afraid as you would be of all-Genestealer armies". As it happens, Games Workshop decrees that some armies are better than others at close combat, and some armies are better than others at shooting, so naturally one should play to the strengths of their list. There are a lot of upset DA players, but it's more from the fact that they waited years for a codex update, and then in 2007 received...something of a disappointment, and the recent Space Marines and Space Wolves codexes are only further indignities. I'll leave it at that, as this is the Space Wolf forum after all.

Hrathnar Flintfang Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Eh, they probably are, but then they have the good sense to be! At least grant them that they aren't thick headed like the Orks or mindless nids. And they will face us blade to blade if they have to unlike the cowardly Tau. I will admit that our darkly dressed and dour brothers could use a new outlook on life. Sitting around reading scripture and obsessing about some deep dark hidden secret does seem like a rather miserable way to live. I mean if I lived like that I don't know if even the simple joy of gripping an Ork warboss by the head and twisting until that green skull popped out of his scrap metal shell would bring a smile to my face. But that is how they choose to live their lives, and as their brothers it is our job to support them. Who knows maybe when they have finished off whatever daunting task has them so upset we can go put some bags over their heads and drag them back to the Fang, teach em how to celebrate properly! Then again it might be easier just to fly a strike team over to the Rock and spike their water supply with ale. Maybe that is why they fear us so, we know how to have a good time!

And they wonder why I take so many trips to other parts of the segmentum.... you do realize, brother Decoy, that there are indeed some monasteries a bit closer to Fenris than the Rock. But to each their own I guess, at least it was a fairly plausible excuse. hehe Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/179873-do-the-da-fear-us/#findComment-2129363 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DGC What can I say? I think that you are taking all this thing too seriously. Dark Angels do not fear any Wolves. Believe me. They don't. Only players are ;) and that's the difference.

Vassakov Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Anyone else gonna play "When Angels Deserve to Die" the next time they face DA? hehehe Do you mean Chop Suey by System Of A Down? If so, I approve :devil: Do they fear us? I say they would be mad not to afford us a healthy respect for our abilities... as we would be not to ignore theirs, as some of our more impetuous brethren seem want to do. In fact, two of my most stinging defeats in 4th were suffered at the hands of a DoubleWing Army. We forget that they are a dangerous army when played well at our peril. Having said that, is this a joke? If that's how they think they'll beat us... they are right to fear us.

Castlerook Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Honestly, I'm glad the Space Wolves have a great book now, you guys have waited far too long for it. And right now, it looks like you guys are going to be one of the most powerful armies in the game, at the moment. Remember, this game is ever changing and with 2 really powerful marine lists in the works right now, enjoy the advantage while you can, theres always a bigger fish in the water. And yes, I am a Dark Angel player, a 12 year vet, does the new Wolf list scare me? Nope, it'll be a challenge, and in case you guys didn't notice, we've had the mother of all challenges for the last 10000 years. The Sons of the Lion might be beaten and bloodied, but we're not broken yet, not by a long shot and our time will come again :P But could you guys do me a favour and really pound the Smurfs in your first few games. We can win against them, but its just fun seeing them get beaten again and again Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/179873-do-the-da-fear-us/#findComment-2130601 Share on other sites More sharing options...
