c-wrex Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 So, as the title suggests, I do not play the Sons of Russ, but I simply adore their balls out fluff and hardcore face-smashing aspect. Is their codex worth buying for fluff and fun alone, and not, I repeat NOT for game play purposes? I can't afford to buy and build a brand new army, but I really want to get my hands on that codex. What say you, fang-ed and beard-ed brethren? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/188788-i-dont-play-the-wolves/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarl Kjaran Coldheart Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 very much so yes. the new Codex has so mnay things "Wolf" moments in it that it is staggering that everybody hasnt fallen in love with the Wolves...some people must be dead inside. quick edit: the SW book has 96 pages. the first 56 is background and unit descriptions consisting of awesomeness. only pages 81-94 cover stats alone, and pages 65-80 (model showcase pages) actually reveal some interesting tidbits too, likt the banners of certain great companies.

c-wrex Posted January 4, 2010 Author Share Posted January 4, 2010 I want it, I really reeeaaalllllyyy do. I'm normally very dragon-y in character (hence my love of Salamanders and Alpha Legion, despite their draconian (I'm pretty sure that isn't how the word is meant to be used) names), but I love things wulfen as well. I want this codex hardcore, but I want people's honest opinion about it being cost effective for somebody who is likely going to just read it for fun and mental excitement. I have Kieran's, which I value highly. Who else wants to throw down-er I mean, who else wants to put in their opinion?

Requisition Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Oh yes, you should definitely get it. Not only for reasons already mentioned, but because it's always nice to 'know your enemy'. My father use to buy new codexs when they came out, just so he knew what to expect(and if his opponent was cheating/mistaken of course) and it's a practice I've taken to this day.

Marshal Wilhelm Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 I bought the Codex because SWs rock. I had a wobble and thought about going Wolves, but I didn't.... Anyway, I love the way PK has written the stories. Sure some people got excited because it didn't fit in exactly how they thought the 40K universe should be, but I just soak up the stories. My brother has been buying Codices for years and we haven't even played with them. We just love the fluff GW puts out. *I think Dragon-esque is the word you wanted.... Oh yes, you should definitely get it. Not only for reasons already mentioned, but because it's always nice to 'know your enemy'. My father use to buy new codexs when they came out, just so he knew what to expect(and if his opponent was cheating/mistaken of course) and it's a practice I've taken to this day. Snap! We do the same. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/188788-i-dont-play-the-wolves/#findComment-2233942 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirax Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 It's a great read, I have two :) One for reading and taking to games, and one to keep in mint condish. And to the above, who doesn't?

CainTheHunter Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 I'd recommend it :) I'd also recommend buying from some independent stockists if You are in Europe - they usually have them a bit cheaper. Or find Yourself a used one on e-bay. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/188788-i-dont-play-the-wolves/#findComment-2234033 Share on other sites More sharing options...
