Brother Nemiel Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Greetings fellow sons & daughters of Russ! Anyone else react to the fluff change (or omit-ness) regarding what happened when the emperor met Russ for the first time? No more drinking contests or feasting feats... Just a polite handshake and a few well mannered words spoken. Ruleswise I have few gripes with the codex. Although I have a feeling that considering the time I've waited for the new rules I practically would have been happy just to be able and field them. My personal hope is that may Dan Abnett do the wolves justice fluffywise when his book comes out. May the Allfather bless your mead!

Wispy Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 It was more of an omission then a change - they still fought. The bit in the codex is tightly condensed, literally only two sentences long, and is obviously not the complete story.

Brother Nemiel Posted October 5, 2009 Author Share Posted October 5, 2009 Still think that they could give a few morsel's more to the readers just so they could grasp more of the space wolf mentality. That even their Primarch was fenrisian at heart. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/180560-space-wolves-5th-ed/#findComment-2137796 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Mage Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Thankfully many wolves will trickle into the fang, and we can tell them the glory of a man who took a Powerfist to the face from the Emperor himself and thought he just had a hangover.

Claydon Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I'm glad I can still dig out my old 2nd Edition Codex for a read. Now that had a lot of background information on the Space Wolves. Hell, in that Codex Ragnar still had blonde hair! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/180560-space-wolves-5th-ed/#findComment-2137811 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Howland Greywolf Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 While that is true don't forget Bjorn Stormwolf who gives a loud belch (or worse) when board.

Oldenhaller Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I'm more peterbed by the change in stance to the dark angels and thousand sons the retcon of what happened with the sons (wolves get duped into attacking prospero) is already known but now rather than swearing eternal emnity to johnson for his underhand attack Russ starts laughing and thinks it all a joke? This on top of no more prefered enemy for the sons or the angels feels a buit like de-toothing ~O Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/180560-space-wolves-5th-ed/#findComment-2138190 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olgerth Istaarn Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 There's a mention earlier in the Codex about Wolf Priests who come to the primitive Fenrisians to recruit the youngins. In some cases they show up in mead halls and wrestle the sturdiest warriors, and then drink them under the table, "just like when the Emperor found Russ". So no worries, there was still fighting and drinking.

Lord Ragnarok Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 The fluff for the Wolf v/s Lion is not new. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/180560-space-wolves-5th-ed/#findComment-2138194 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldenhaller Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I'm sorry...a bit of a wrestle and laughing about it - even in the last codex it wasn't so placid. Where's the knife through the heart? I know there's the whitte dwarf article from years ago which said that two chmpions meet before a fight but the chumly comradery is definatelt a little ott ~O Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/180560-space-wolves-5th-ed/#findComment-2138217 Share on other sites More sharing options...
