Hfran Morkai Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Unless there was stuff in the second edition dex then he is quite fluffless but he is marked I believe. As to naming a lord? Find a website with Norse names and pick one with an interesting meaning/sound as a first name as this doesn't change. For example I use Agni because I like the sound and it was adopted as a name from old German for fear. Then for the second name you can describe a piece of wargear/heroic deed/characteristic to define your lord as the name would have likely changed during their time serving in the Wolves. Mine is Bloodhammer because he wields a thunder hammer, simple but evocative of the destruction he wreaks.

Grey Mage Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Theres a difference between the levels of marked though- starting to fall, halted, completely fallen, having issues... etc. IIRC'd hes marked, but hes not a ravening beast by any means, and his ability to hold it at bay is a remarkable aspect that lends strength and inspiration to his men. It shows a man of Great Willpower and greater rage. So I dont thing hed need to be marked in the rules ways.

Hfran Morkai Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Well why would you let someone with no control lead an entire Great Company? There must be as Grey Mage said some remnant of his "normal" self in there, he leads up to two hundred warriors. So it could probaly be fairly represented by the Warrior born saga? The one for extra attacks from kills in last round of combat? And his company would likely contain more marked warriors than another company.

Grey Mage Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Warrior born sounds like a very good fit, good spot Mikal. Im not sure his company has more wulfen, but it would be a cool take on it... can you take MotW on WG these days? Loan Wolves make greaty wulfen though IMHO.

Terrahawk Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Bran is great, love the Blood Hunter company badge. :) If you don't feel like freehanding the company badge, you can download decals here.

Hfran Morkai Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Yeah the extra wulfen was just me thinking but it only says in the third ed dex that the symbol is associated with lords with the mark, not nessecarily companies. However I'm interested to see the fluff on Wolves with the mark, because previously the only real fluff available was non-canon and said most were culled, so I'd like to see how it's explained, are they taken by the wolf priest and taught to resist the urge to destroy their brothers? I guess that the marked ones will still be part of the packs they originated from. And if I remember the Wolf Guard are allowed one model to take the mark, might be more, might be none I'm unsure. But Warrior born seemed to be a good fit for an insane almost beast, hitting out with all his fury, stoked on by his previous combats. Wargear? Something like a frost blade for the high initiative and strength five. Or wolf claws could fit I suppose. I would be tempted to avoid a ranged weapon at any cost so go with an additional close combat weapon if a frost blade is taken because I don't see Redmaw being a big fan of firearms, but that's just me.

hendrik Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 in our previous dex (wow that sounded weird) bran's depicted on page 13 wearing either TDA or PA (the legs sugest TDA, the torso seems PA to me) in his left hand his huge frostaxe and on his right hand a vambrace mounted stormbolter to me bran just appears to be wulf bitten (just like ragnar btw) so i suggest if you paint him you give him yellow eyes instead of white ones i,meself am a loyal bran redmaw player and here are a couple of thoughts i plan to use to represent the great company: -built my lord around the description i just gave you (although i might swap his SB with another weapon) -use the mark of the wulfen in my units(grey hunters and bloodclaws) -try to freehand his symbol as much as i can Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/180120-bran-redmaw/#findComment-2132612 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillen Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 It's a fluff rewrite from Second Edition to 3rd edition with all the words the same. It was Originally "Logan Grimnar, Strong wolf of the Pack. Blah blah blah." Then they changed it to Bran in the second edtion. No clue why they did that. I have asked before and no one knows. As to what he is like pick something Beastial for him. Warrior Born is good. Fits the fluff. But remember these words were spoken about Logan Grimnar first.

I think it might be the quote about Redmaw underneath the picture *pulls out the sacred tome and goes through its hallowed pages* *For the hundreth time curses the unexplainable red stain upon its pages* *Checks the digital backup copy hes had on hand for years* *Screams in anguish* MY LIFE IS A LIE!!! Edit: I still say its Logain, just compare the picture to the model. But damn it.

Quillen Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 page 66 of the first spacewlf codex. Copy righted 1994. Logan Grimnar, bloddyhanded warrior, He piles the skulls of his enemies, He builds a mound of the fallen, His foes weep rivers of woe, Logan Grimnar, the strong wolf of the pack, His sword hunger for red flesh, his guns thirst for battle, He laughs midst the battle-din, Logan Grimar, Father of wolves, His sons hunt his enemies, Sly them where they have fallen, And bring their pelts to Fenris. As to the picture in the second Codex of Redmaw, he is in power armor with a 2 headed axe that looks like I power weapon. It's Runic armor cause of the ruins on it. Still power armor thou. Last page his mark is the one usually associated with someone with the mark of the wolf. That's all the fluff on him in the second book which was the only one to have anything at all of him.
