Skirax Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 What was the colour scheme of the Wolf Brothers? I realise that they are extinct in the 40,000 timeline, but I'm hopefully going to the Tempus event in September, and I'm loving the idea of a Chapter, doomed from the start, and their vainglorious attempts to create a Saga that will last for millenia... So, what's the scheme? Remember, just after the Heresy. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/202923-colour-scheme-of-our-lost-brothers/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

They entered the webway and haven't come out (I know that this could mean that they are gone/dead/eaten/exploded) but the chapter didn't die as far as I am aware. Or I could be wrong, and if so woops. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/202923-colour-scheme-of-our-lost-brothers/#findComment-2418546 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CainTheHunter Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Some google search showed that they allegedly disappeared fighting the Eldar on the plains of Vahal in M37 (source - German WD 53).

Skirax Posted May 31, 2010 Author Share Posted May 31, 2010 Ok, so their fate aside, has no-one seen the officail scheme? Grey Mage, is Lexicanum not showing any results? Thanks for the replies so far. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/202923-colour-scheme-of-our-lost-brothers/#findComment-2418647 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are thinking of the 13th Company - Wulfen, the only successor chapter to the Space Wolves was gotten rid of due to genetic instability For colour schemes you could do whatever you wanted really, what about a darkish gritty grey colour to show their constant battling to prove themselves?

There are 2 seperate sources of information about what happened to the Wolf Brothers, Genetic instability is one and the other is disappearing into the webway.

Requiem of the Wolf Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 You are thinking of the 13th Company - Wulfen, the only successor chapter to the Space Wolves was gotten rid of due to genetic instability No I am not talking about the 13th Company, I am talking about the Wolf Brothers chapter. There are 2 seperate sources of information about what happened to the Wolf Brothers, Genetic instability is one and the other is disappearing into the webway. That is the result of two different editions Fluff I am afraid. Originally the Wolf Brothers I think...3 editions ago.Disappeared into the Web way and were lost. Then they realized that "oh look,we had the 13 company disappearing into the warp too....Are we really saying that THAT many wolves would get lost randomly?" So the Wolf Brothers got switched to suffering Genetic instability.

Skirax Posted May 31, 2010 Author Share Posted May 31, 2010 So basically, the colour scheme was a light/medium light grey? Stonish? Or more granite looking?

Requiem of the Wolf Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 So basically, the colour scheme was a light/medium light grey? Stonish? Or more granite looking? I would take the color scheme that we had at Pre-heresy,and put it close to that. Honestly I cannnot remember a specific example of the Wolf Brothers...but I am sure if you dig long enough you would come up with something.

Skirax Posted May 31, 2010 Author Share Posted May 31, 2010 Oh ok, I'll make a mock tonight and go from there :D I'm going to be heavy on fluff, so lots of Grey Hunters and Blood Claws (As they were a new Chapter) with a few Wolf Guard and Long Fangs dotted here and there.

Walter Payton Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 I would reccomend (personally) a very dark navy blue or grey. These guys are doomed! As such, I think it works better to have them as a very dark chapter, fitting their morbid doom... Here's my quick attempt at a scheme: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/202923-colour-scheme-of-our-lost-brothers/#findComment-2419191 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWulfen123 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 I always thought that the wolf brothers had the pre-heresy colour scheme but with rust on ther armour.

Valerian Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 To my knowledge its never been officially shown. I think that this is correct, GM. I've been playing and following the Wolves for a long, long, time and I don't remember any pictures or descriptions of their color scheme. I'll look through some old material when I get home after work, if I think of it to double check.

Durfast Spiritwolf Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 I'll be seeing you there then - it'll be Russ' last outing I guess. There is no official colour scheme, but, as has been said here and it the TF codex, they are a doomed chapter. Reading between the lines, I think that Russ took one GC, piled in all those who had been affected the most by the genetic repercusions of the fight on Prospero and basically formed a 'Lone Wolves' chapter. That is not to say that they are not organised in a similar way to C:SW, but that their wyrd is upon them. So I would think of taking the original colour of the Legion (Dark Grey) and adding the red of the Lone Wolf.

Skirax Posted June 1, 2010 Author Share Posted June 1, 2010 Well, I'm going to use some of the current dark blue-ish colour, but for the most part I'll be painting them black and grey. Are you going to be playing Wolves, Durfast? I was Dark Angels last time, god the Caliban table was fun.

Night Runner Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 There was a Wolf brother mentioned in one of the Uriel Ventris books. IIRC it was in the Dead Sky, Black Sun one, where Uriel and a bunch of renegades are fighting to take down a nefarious plan by some warp entity while two factions of Iron Warrios are dishing it out. I'm not sure if the armour colour of the Wolf Brother was ever mentioned but I guess if you ask in the Ultramarine forum they might know.

Skirax Posted June 1, 2010 Author Share Posted June 1, 2010 Wait, Durfast Spiritwolf *facepalm* :) I'm Skiraxion, but you've almost definately worked that out :( So what do you think of running Russ with the Wolf Brothers in terms of fluff?

Durfast Spiritwolf Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Yep, using the same user name on both forums makes it easier to work out who I am ;) The fluff works for me, but then I always figures that Russ did a number on Gulliman by pretending to form a separate 'Chapter' when all he did was rename one of the Great Companies and then disband them downstream for 'genetic instability'.

wiplash Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 from what i knew of the wolf brothers nothing even their demise was ever confirmed, only alluded to Some google search showed that they allegedly disappeared fighting the Eldar on the plains of Vahal in M37 (source - German WD 53). ive never heard this before does anyone have access to this German WD? I always presumed the colour scheme was similar to preheresy or 13th company colours schemes, the main colour being grey with white and yellow Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/202923-colour-scheme-of-our-lost-brothers/#findComment-2420637 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valerian Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 from what i knew of the wolf brothers nothing even their demise was ever confirmed, only alluded to From the Space Wolves bible (2nd Edition Codex): "The Space Wolves were never a very large Legion and so were divided only once, creating the ill-fated Wolfbrothers Chapter. Perhaps the High Lords recognised the problems of genetic instability that would plague the genetic seed of Leman Russ, giving rise in later times to the terrible curse of Wulfen, and therefore decided against dividing and further spreading the Space Wolves' genetic base." And that is all that is said about them in that book.
