Aeddon Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 So I was looking at the new Space Wolf Codex, admiring the artwork, and started wondering who the marine on the cover is. Looking to his right (your left) you can see what resembles the Great Company markings of Erik Morkai which leads me to believe that this may be the Wolf Lord himself. Anyone have different ideas about him? http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_CustomProductCatalog/m480232a_60030101011_ENGCodexSpaceWolves_873x627.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/180664-new-codex-cover/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonham1963 Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Logan Grimnar deserves the cover, so my money is on him. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/180664-new-codex-cover/#findComment-2139088 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vilhelm Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Don't know, but get used to his face! If history is any indicator, you will be seeing him a lot for the next 10 years. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/180664-new-codex-cover/#findComment-2139100 Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinkenheim Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 judging by the grey hunter to his left its Erik Morkai (you can see the double headed wolf on the marines shoulder pad) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/180664-new-codex-cover/#findComment-2139101 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaarl Stormfang Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 More to the point, how can I paint THAT grey? :P Adeptus battlegrey? Vallejo something grey? Any ideas?

Wolf Guard Dan Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Erik Morkai probably. Looking at his right shoulderpad gives me pause. It looks like Logan Grimnar's personal icon. But then again, you only see half of it because the rest is unviewable. Maybe Morkai has a badass icon on his shoulderpad, one the side a wolf howling at the moon and on the unviewable side, a wolf howling at the sun. Edit: and the blade of his axe has the mark of morkai on it. But that is pretty common with space wolves using that iconagraphy on their wargear.

Rokafort Stonewolf Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 I'm going to say a young Logan Grimnar, as some others have suggested. The pelt matches, and he bears the emblem of the Night Runner.

Kenmichi Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Night runner? Where? If you're referring to his right shoulder pad, the wolf is howling at the sun and is backwards for it to be Logan's company symbol. Plus the right pad delineates rank amongst your great company, not which great company you belong to. The picture is very misleading anyway, the grey hunter on the right is clearly from Erik Morkai's GC, but if you look closely at the left shoulder pad of the grey hunter on the left, it looks like the Night Runner, but with a red background. Way in the back there is a banner that clearly shows the wolves of Morkai but with a yellow sun instead of red. I honestly think it's just a cool looking wolf guard, but no one special in particular. Possibly just a pack leader. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/180664-new-codex-cover/#findComment-2139233 Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyeslikethunder Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 i think its logan grimnar Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/180664-new-codex-cover/#findComment-2139296 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ragnarok Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 I also say a younger logan. Actually on second thought not too sure. The wolf is facing the wrong way... But it may be some other company because the banner in the background seems to be similar to the center pieces right shoulder pad, but never seen that GC insignia previously.

the great beaver Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 it's not logan grimnar... why would they show logan when he was just a grey hunter, or wolf guard when they could show him as the mightiest wolf lord of all time in massive terminator armour. nah..it's morkai.

Cyrox Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Andy Chambers :P ;) LOL Probably a generic Wolf lord - painted by and Artist who was given the fluff and some Eavy metal pictures and told 'Paint the cover image dude' Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/180664-new-codex-cover/#findComment-2139544 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bevulf Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 He is just a simple Wolf Guard. One of many. Why does it have to me someone special? As far as I know only one time GW pictured a significant member of Adeptus Astartes on the front cover. It was Marneus Calgar back in the 4th Ed of the SM Codex. Get used to it - he is probably only a Wolf Guard. Very nice one indeed but that's all.

dublindawg Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 More to the point, how can I paint THAT grey? :) Adeptus battlegrey? Vallejo something grey? Any ideas? I am going with a base coat of Codex Grey with Adeptus battlegrey as a highlight to come close to that grey scheme. Take a look at my album of the few that I have painted so far.
