grunak Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Hello honored brethren. I have begun painting on my thunderwolfs and I am currently trying to figure out what pack markings they should have. In the codex there is a suggestion that breaking in a thunderwolf is part of the iniation to the higher ranks of the wolf guard so I am currently leaning towards using my wolf guard markings on the thunderwolf cavalry as well. Just thought I would see what you guys had to say about it.

MaleOpener Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Being small elite packs within the Wolf Guard, I'd go with Wolf Guard markings. I'd go the extra step in making sure your TWC doesn't bear the same marking as other WG in your force. Just my opinion.

TiguriusX Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 I think you already have your answer. The TWC are formed of the upper ranks of the WG. They would probably have the same markings. If you want to get creative and create a unique pack marking for TWC I think that would be perfectly fine as well Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/205912-thunderwolf-cavalry-pack-markings/#findComment-2456150 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durfast Spiritwolf Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Their stats are those of GHs - is there something in C:SW that specifically says TWC are WG or is it just Canis?

grunak Posted July 7, 2010 Author Share Posted July 7, 2010 In the codex it says on page 34 "There are several known instances of senior Space Wolfs tracking down and "breaking in" Thunderwolves in an extreme version of the Lone Hunt.This practice,thought to be an initiation ritual into the upper echelons of the Wolf Guard,...".

JimmyGuyy Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 You may want to consider the rarity of the TWC within the chapter. They may not be present in all of the great companies. Perhaps only a couple, especially when the codex states that they are from a specific part of Fenris (northern icecap i think) and I am lead to believe not all the chapters reside within the Fang. So fluff wise, you could assume that if they are being fielded, they might be on loan from another great company aside from your own. I believe Hakkon's company is the only one that is listed in the codex for certain as having TWC.
