jester262 Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I just did a small troll of the other chapter forums here on the B&C. Not a one has anything like we have here. I saw no fan fiction whatsoever. When someone new comes into the fold there are very few replies of welcome. Unlike here where there is a flood of ale and warm howdydoes. They may be battle brothers, but we are all brothers. I'd like to thank each and every one of you for being who you are and making my experiance here enjoyable. FOR RUSS! FOR THE ALLFATHER!

Decoy Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 *pops in from the warp. He throws "The Finger" Jester's way before kicking a warp-stained keg of ten-thousand-year-old Fenrisian Ale into the room before disappearing in a puff of sickly purple warp energy* Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/201388-we-here-at-the-fang/#findComment-2399303 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ragnarok Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Let's be careful in our observations of the other forums. I've seen lots of passion for other armies for many different reasons and some very similar. You may also take a look at the Liber forum as they are VERY focused on fluff since these are DIY chapters and there is much to enjoy with respect to the imaginations and work placed in creating background for one's own DIY. I've also seen many welcomes not unlike here. So maybe it's a small view in time that you experienced. The B&C is renowned as one of the best sites for Space Marines and we wolves can't take the Li...errr Wolf's share of that fact.

jester262 Posted May 14, 2010 Author Share Posted May 14, 2010 lol, that's might be what it is then.

commander alexander Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Agreed, although the B&C on a whole is a great community, our hall is truly a place of camaraderie. =Edit= Wow I started a reply before anyone else, got distracted, and 3 others replied before me. Oh and I agree with Ragnarok, I used to be a constant poster in that forum, they are definitely some dedicated brothers.

Beef Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I used to frquent the DA forums to Goad I mean have a friendly banter with them, They are a close knit brother hood. What you will notice is that most of the forums be it ultra or Ba/DA/BT have similar comraderie, Obviously not as fun as our forum, (they have their own more reserved version) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/201388-we-here-at-the-fang/#findComment-2399552 Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you will notice is that most of the forums be it ultra or Ba/DA/BT have similar comraderie, Obviously not as fun as our forum, (they have their own more reserved version) Agreed, Beef. They have their own little groupings, with their own "superstars" of their respective forums, who go unknown around here. Though I confess, the Chaos forums are... lackluster at best. The Blood Angel forum is currently my other hangout, and they're good folk, generally. I've found that they're closest to The Fang in terms of "hanging out" power, and have some fun threads (Editted from "Forums") and intellectual discussions. Next would come the Templars, whose righteous zeal for their army defies pretty much every standard. The Dark Angels would come in a swift third, being fairly sombre and all-business, but generally good folk. Finally, of the Big Four, the Ultras would come in last, as they're... Well, they're hard to describe. It's like a constant Horus Heresy over there, mostly between people whining about "Ultra-hate" and others whining about "Ultra-Whine." I popped into one of those threads, had a rip-roar of a rant, and the thread ultimately got closed. Those guys are... weird. Never stopped by DIY, as DIY isn't really my thing, but I've heard good things. Nothing beats the Fang, though. I love it here. The people, the atmosphere, the ambiance. Also, we have some of the best completely random threads or topics, and it's just awesome here.

Shieldwall Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Can't say I'm surprised about that impression, since many people pick up armies that suit their character... Or maybe it's the other way around, really. :] Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/201388-we-here-at-the-fang/#findComment-2399593 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe it's the other way around, really. :] Aye I started as a DA player, and over these past few years ( like 2), I have changed, become more of a social person, who enjoys the fangs brand of brotherhood. I have to say, being a former regular of the DA, and later, IA forums, Fang rates #1, DIY 2, and DA3.vBut thats only based on my experience.

Imperialis_Dominatus Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Rarely notice the differences myself, since every time I come on I tend to hit "View New Posts" and get a flood of everything. Seems this board has the most... self esteem. The "Damn aren't we awesome? Yeah we're awesome. How awesome are we? Pretty awesome" threads turn up here nearly as much as "Thank you B&C, my life has meaning with your site, oh Emprah what would i do without Kurgan the Lurker/SCC/Ferrata/etc., I want a poster of him on my wall" threads in Amicus. Will admit the in-character bits in every forum sometimes burn my eyes. But it's all in good fun.

Decoy Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 The only reason we have "We're awesome" threads, Imperialis, is because we're awesome. If we weren't awesome, we wouldn't have "We're awesome" threads. That said... We're awesome.

Grey Mage Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Wow, I havent seen that much awesome in one thread since the chuck-norris joke sight was created. Seriously though, I do enjoy the attitude in the Fang over most of the other subforums, and find its alot of fun.

TiguriusX Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Plenty of action here and in the SW army list section to keep me busy. I never know what to expect when I pop in. I might see some amazing TWC or Arjac conversions or stumble into a discussion on the merits of LRC/LRR v. LR basic as the preferred choice for SWs or the viability of a Bjorn list. I also enjoy the apparent lack of trolls. I have seen good discussions back and forth without too much internet flaming and hate going back and forth The only other sections I think I have ever visited are the battle reports and rules.

So,totally off the subject...But does anyone wonder if the Blood Angel Armory has a Hot Topic sign over the entrance? Ok ok bad joke and probably one that has been done a thousand times. But I think its funny regardless. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/201388-we-here-at-the-fang/#findComment-2400045 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karack Blackstone Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I have to say, I personally love the B&C as a whole for concept, but the Space Wolves Forum has become something of a second home in a way. It's like finding brothers I wasn't born with, who think, game and feel like I do. Who says we have to always live in the modern age? Why not keep the ale and axes or swords around a little longer? I say we're better off as humans for having people that think things can be done better with less than with more. If I had the proper Norse/Celt/Viking saying to toss in here, I would. Otherwise, just pass me an ale, mead, beer, or whatever we're going to drink and celebrate with a reciting of some massively awesome tale from our impressive Chapter history, and let the feasting and drinking commence!

Marshal Wilhelm Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I think some of the Long Fangs have voiced that other forums have passion and life too, if not in such a hairy, ale fuelled manner ;) The SW forum is certainly the first second-best forum I come to :) and I enjoy the rambunctiousness that ensues here. The SW are just flat out good value. Now all I have to do is convince WLK that Templars are the best cc chapter and kill that Witch that floats around here.... :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/201388-we-here-at-the-fang/#findComment-2400338 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulweih Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 The B&C is the best site for SM imo. the first site I've seen a seperate space for Apo and the like. While the already mentioned and respected forums of our brother Astartes show generally good folk, I could not be more proud to count as a Wolf of the B&C. "Why?" I hear you ask- the answer was, is and will forever be: "Because we are awesome!" :) I'm pretty confident about the fact, that we wolves here, could meet up anywhere beside a fireplace in real life and have a nice evening full of stories and Ale and get along just fine. Can't say that about another group of folks I never met before.

Can't say that about another group of folks I never met before. And that I think is at the core of why the Wolves of B&C are so damn awesome. Although I think that at least some of us should bring mead instead of ale lol. But yes...I have no doubt that if there were say,a worldwide 40k tournament/event thing and the Wolves of B&C all met up in one place,That the Ale and Mead would Flow,the Stories and tall tales would echo to the ceiling, while the cheers and howls of laughter from the eating and drinking contests that would inevitably occur would be heard from one end of the hotel to the other. On a side note,I could also see half of the Wolves playing poorly due to hangovers the next day,while the likelihood we would get either hotel staff or the cops called on us for noise violations would be epicly high. That being said...It would be a epic tale to bring home....

I have been a fan of this Band for many many years,and have been wondering about the best way to introduce my brothers here to them,and then I found this. Before every game I play,I listen to this band and 9 times out of 10 this song. I hope you all enjoy it as much as i do. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKhbt3fLZJ4 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/201388-we-here-at-the-fang/#findComment-2400416 Share on other sites More sharing options...
