Frontline989 Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Harking back to my Roleplaying days my RP group weather it be a d&d party or a WtA pack would always have a name. Ive now taken to naming my Space Wolf Packs and wondering if others do this and what they're called. Heres a list of mine. Night's Embrace, Wolf Scouts Death's Gale, Grey Hunters Winters's Torment, Grey Hunters Kraken's Wake, Grey Hunters Talon's of Woe, Grey Hunters Thunder's Song, Long Fangs Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/189779-do-you-name-your-packs/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarl Kjaran Coldheart Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 yea, i name all my packs, i used to name them after the Wolf Guard leading the packs, but under our new book, i have turned the WOlf GUard into a "squad leader" since i stopped using WG in my GH packs.

Vash113 Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Of course I name my Packs and Characters, what self respecting Space Wolf wouldn't? The Stormblade Great Company Wolf Lord Silvar Stormblade Rune Priest Mjornal Oath Keeper Wolf Priest Greimund Wolf Totem Wolf Guard Battle Leader Bjeorn Razorfang Wolf Guard Battle Leader Helgrund Stormwolf Venerable Dreadnaught Felldawn Iron Priest Haelfdar Ironhelm Iron Priest Gromir Skullsplitter Wolf Scout Pack Haelvarn Wolf Guard Pack Hoargeld Wolf Guard Pack Hromund Wolf Guard Terminator Pack Frostmourn Grey Hunter Pack Freyald Grey Hunter Pack Reikald Grey Hunter Pack Svjorning Grey Hunter Pack Eijon Grey Hunter Pack Bulwye Grey Hunter Pack Kell Blood Claw Pack Haegar Blood Claw Pack Elysan Skyclaw Pack Caerwyn Long Fang Pack Aarkmund Land Raider Crusader 'Howling Wolf' Land Raider Crusader 'Thunder Storm' Rhino APC 'Pack Runner' Rhino APC 'Blood Paw' Rhino APC 'Winter Wolf' Rhino APC 'Steel Wolf' As you can see infantry units are all named after their leader, as I think Space Wolves should do. The Space Wolves are all about heroes and great sagas, a Pack bearing the name of their Wolf Guard Leader or Pack Leader would be proud to do so I think rather than some title they chose. Vehicles are another matter, they don't have traditional names so get dubbed something by their affectionate passengers I would think. Like Bjorn the Fell Handed, the Venerable Dreadnaught still carries his name from before his internment. Those Packs without a Wolf Guard Pack Leader have a non-rules specific "Pack Leader" that is whoever carries the special Close Combat weapon. A Power Fist for the Grey Hunters and a Power Weapon for the Wolf Guard or Skyclaws. The Leader of the Skyclaw Pack is Blood Claw Caerwyn, the most headstrong and reckless of the Skyclaws and thus their natural leader! :o Plus the Great Company will of course be led by the individual whose name the Company bears.

Grey Mage Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I name all my characters and Dreadnaughts, some of my line men, and each and every pack is named after the Rune it bears into battle.

Death Wolf Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Well I don't name the packs, but I have a VERY extensive collection of fluff about my great company in which of the 190-or-so marines, 170-ish are named. Wolf Lord Branek Icefang Wolf Priest Svengar the White Rune Priest Thorgrim Lightning-Caller Wolf Guard Battle Leader Durdin Shieldmangler Wolf Guard Battle Leader Gunnar Skywolf Iron Priest Agnar Thunderfist Iron Priest Osric Ironbreaker WOLF GUARD Wolf Brother Girom Wolf Brother Odin Wolf Brother Bjorn Wolf Brother Gest Wolf Brother Halldor Wolf Brother Alrik Wolf Brother Asvald Wolf Brother Egil Wolf Brother Jósurr Wolf Brother Loken Wolf Brother Gerri Wolf Brother Hakon Wolf Brother Harald Wolf Brother Johan Wolf Brother Kol Wolf Brother Leif Wolf Brother Olvir Wolf Brother Bekan Wolf Brother Sven LONE WOLVES Wolf Brother Skald Hammerhand Wolf Brother Beinir Warwúlf DREADNOUGHTS Odri Foecrusher Jökull the Fearsome So yeah, most of my guys have names, and fluff about them...
