Karack Blackstone Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 I was feeling like asking as it's a matter of Space Wolf-ishness for me to not WAAAAAAAAAGH, but instead to chant Russ' name. Which do you do, or do you do something else when the GW people call for a battle WAAAAAGH in the store?

CainTheHunter Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 My warcry is "Russ be with us!" - and it usually tends to get more "6" on to hit and to wound/penetrate rolls. And sometimes it doesn't - apparently when he is too busy feasting and hangovering wherever he is B) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/199003-do-you-waaaaaaaaaagh/#findComment-2370527 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karack Blackstone Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 A good point, did you read the part of the codex where The Emperor and Russ are called on to witness the deeds of the fallen and judge them? I'd wager Russ is just funnin' with you, until you find that section...

Grimtooth Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Why not just let loose with a bloodcurdling howl? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/199003-do-you-waaaaaaaaaagh/#findComment-2370540 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karack Blackstone Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 That's my point, what do you do when there is a call for a WAAAAAAAAGH in the store? I tried howling once, doesn't sound right. I so chant Russ.

CainTheHunter Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 I tried howling once, doesn't sound right. Then You should practice more! It's not like skydiving, where if at first You don't succeed, it's not for You... Sure, Your neighbours will learn to love and appreciate You!

Karack Blackstone Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 I thought this thread might prove interesting... Lessons on howling? I'd be better served going for bagpipe lessons like I had planned; then life happened.

I'd be better served going for bagpipe lessons like I had planned; then life happened. I dunno... For me it just goes out naturally... But actually I was able to emulate convincing Tarzan cry when I was aged 15. As to the bagpipes - don't put aside them! Funny, but I'm also interested in them and maybe they are just waiting for their chance to happen in my life :P A good point, did you read the part of the codex where The Emperor and Russ are called on to witness the deeds of the fallen and judge them? Can You give the exact page? I browsed through and the only apparent similarity was the bit of fluff at the bottom of p.21 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/199003-do-you-waaaaaaaaaagh/#findComment-2370607 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karack Blackstone Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 Maybe I'm thinking of the old Codex but I'll give it a go-through tonight for you and see if I can get a page number. Going to have to post tomorrow, sadly. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/199003-do-you-waaaaaaaaaagh/#findComment-2370628 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulweih Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 You could go ahead and tell them in a hushed voice:"Fear the silent wolf, cause not all wolves howl while hunting! :) But seriously, I just roar, no verbs and stuff, just good old bonechilling roaring.

Hfran Morkai Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 I howl, sometimes. The trick is to have it start down in your chest, not your throat and let it rise up inside you.

Wolf Lord Hallbjorn Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 I howl whenever I blow something up or rout an enemy squad or do something similarly "bloody". Whenever I'm rolling saves, morale, etc. I mutter "Russ is with me" under my breath. Probably sounds corny to some, but it seems to work and that's fine with me.

Ryzouken Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Ahh, I also play a CCG named Legend of the Five Rings which is based loosely around feudal japan. They too do the customary start of tournament warcries to rouse the playerbase to a level of enthusiasm, by shouting "Banzai!" I figure, instead of trying to remember two chants and remember which goes with what game, I just shout Banzai at any tournament. I usually get drowned out enough that only my immediate neighbors notice. I might amend my chant at my next RTT to: "Russ! Banzai!" Because that sounds like a fun thing to howl at the top of my lungs.

Demonslayer Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I have my evil grin and laugh, unless things start going wrong then for some reason I start growling.
