Redbaron997 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 A lone wolf is the last of his pack. To wear terminator armour you have to be in the Wolf Guard. If you are the last of the wolf guard then you would most likely become the a Wolf Guard battle leader (or the Lord if he died) Even if you didnt more wolves would soon be elevated to the Wolf Guard to make up for losses. Plus isnt the Wolf Lord technically a part of the Wolf Guard, those being his personal pack. It would be extremely irresonsible if you were the last wolf guard with the wolf lord dead and not succeced him. In a sense most Wolf Guard have left behind thier packs anyways to join the guard. So it wouldnt be as bad emotionally, and any wolf guard that had all his mates die would be needed to stay and help pick new ones. Im not saying there are not scenarios where it could happen but it seems like it would be so incredibly rare, plus what Iron Priest would let a marine where venerated terminator armour on a suicide mission where they may not be able to retirieve it.

Natanael Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 In the fluff for them, if i remember correcty, it says that many of them have earned their place in the WG many times over, but refuse to accept the honour. If that is the case, I can very well understand that a LW would get TDA. Just because he tries to kill himself, FIGHTING (not just jumping of some cliff) big monsters and stuff, it would be good for the company to gear him up. I mean, if he can smack up that wraitlord, dreadnought, DP, carnifex or whatever, that is a big bonus to his fellas.

And even if he had not attained such loft status....I could seeing the WL, sympathizing and honoring the brother with the best kit to do the job (especially defensive) so they can fulfill their oath, saga and bring honor back to the pack. (I think this is one of my favorite new fluff elements in the new dex).

Brother Captain Kezef Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Lone Wolves are the Space Wolf version of a troll slayer. They are fighting to die, but fighting to win. Makes sense the Lord would kit him out as bast he can to ensure a great death and legendary saga.

So it wouldnt be as bad emotionally, and any wolf guard that had all his mates die would be needed to stay and help pick new ones. Im not saying there are not scenarios where it could happen but it seems like it would be so incredibly rare, plus what Iron Priest would let a marine where venerated terminator armour on a suicide mission where they may not be able to retirieve it. Harsath Bloodmonger was but a humble Grey Hunter, one of a pack of 9. He had the honor to bare a powerfist into battle, and he was darn good at it. At the battle of seven towers his unit was ordered to hold a position at all costs while the rest of the company was redeploying. Nearly 200 of his brothers and 2000 IG were at stake. The world Eaters were numerous, and supported by the tanks of traitor gaurd. Firing for as long as they could from the cover of a ruined building Pack Thurisaz numbered but 3 men when their long fang support was taken out by an enemy defiler. Determined to buy more time at any costs the three Grey Hunters charged forth, Hrothgar and Menoth having taken their fallen brothers meltaguns. As they surged forward guns ablazing they accounted for no fewer then five Leman Russ tanks and a rhino. Still, they were heavily outnumbered and despite the advantage of mobility they had in the crowded confineds of the city-hive they were eventually overun. Harsath himself fell in combat with the dread defiler, Menoth slaying it but a moment later and dying of the shrapnel. Of all his pack only Harsath could be healed by the Wolf Priests. He was given battlefield commendations for valor and heroism, and promoted to Wolf Gaurd on the spot. Harsath however was a changed man, and the death of his brothers and elders laid heavy on his mind. So it was, that a year later he asked his lord and his companies wolf priest to allow him to undergo the ritual of the lone wolf, that he might die in glorious battle and end his suffering. Bjorn Stormwolf was not a man to allow a good resources to be casually thrown away, and so it was that he commanded that if Harsath was to do this, he must do it as he was presently outfitted. He would have five years to acheive his ends- and then, should he have failed he was to be reinducted into the ranks of the Wolf Gaurd. All agree, and the ceremony was held three days later. Harsath Bloodmonger is rumored to be somewhat wolfbitten and unpredictable these days, but all of his company know that he will hold true to his oath- that he will seek ever greater glory, ever greater triumph, in search of honor for his lost pack. While he yearns to die, he cannot do so through incompetency of willfull surrender. So it is that to this day he surges forward, stormshield strapped to one might arm and frost blade in the other... and his foes tremble as he comes for their souls. For what is Valhalla without enemies to conquer?
