Grimtooth Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 I am wanting to know that of all the Great Hunts after Russ' departure, what relics have been found. I am thinking of incorporating some fluff into my SW army that will result in some banner artwork of my army finding a relic.

The details are in the 2nd Edition codex, which I left out in the truck (and I'm at work). If nobody provides you the answers in the next 24 hours, then I'll pop what I've got into the thread. For starters, I know that Russ' armor was recovered from a Temple of Horus (I'll add the details later).

Sarapham Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 The details are in the 2nd Edition codex, which I left out in the truck (and I'm at work).

Valerian Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 The details are in the 2nd Edition codex, which I left out in the truck (and I'm at work). I like the fact that you take Codex' with you in your car. :) Yeah, a lot of folks have been asking old fluff related questions lately, so I've starting taking my old codex to work with me, since I sit in front of a computer and usually have time to be on the BnC. I don't have access to the 2nd Ed codex, so would appreciate any info on those relics. "No-one knows what happened to Leman Russ. Some say he disappeared in the Eye of Terror while searching for his old friend and rival, the Primarch of the Dark Angels. Some say he was on a secret mission from the Emperor when he was slain in battle with a Greater Daemon of Chaos, and that his spirit is lost in the warp. Others say that, to this day, he walks disguised among mankind, watching over the people of his Emperor and guarding them from the Powers of Chaos. All that is known is that he vanished on the Feast of the Emperor's Ascension in the year 197 after the Emperor was incarcerated within his Golden Throne. It is said that his eyes glazed over and that he had the look of a man who was overcome with a vision. He rose from the great feast table, put down his drinking horn, and summoned his most favoured retainers. Of these, only Bjorn the Fell-Handed, the youngest, was left behind when he departed. No-one knew where Russ had gone. The Space Wolves waited for his return. Every year his place was laid at the feast table, and every year his great drinking horn was filled, in case he should return. Seven years passed and still he did not come. After seven years the surviving Wolf Lords gathered and elected Bjorn their leader, awarding him the title Great Wolf. Bjorn gathered all the warriors together in the Great Hall of the Fang, and announced the Great Hunt. Russ's people would seek their master. The Companies took to their ships and sailed in separate directions accross the Sea of Stars. They sought in many worlds and many places. They fought battles and overcame monsters and the tale of their deeds is too long to recount save on Allwinter's Eve when the Rune Priests gather to chant the sagas. They sought and they sought but of Russ they found no sign till eventually they were recalled to Fenris bearing nought buta few dismal prophesies and the tale of their adventures. Thus the first Great Hunt ended in failure and in sadness. Since that day there have been other Great Hunts. Sometimes Russ appears to a Great Wolf in a vision and tells him it is time. Sometimes he haunts the dreams of the Chapter's Rune Priests and their words cause the Great Wolf to declare another Great Hunt. These are times of daring deeds and and high adventure when the Chapter takes to the Sea of Stars and seeks their lost leader. They have never been successful but each Great Hunt has achieved some great good. The second Great Hunt led to the recovery of Russ's armour from the Temple of Horus on Rudra on the edge of the Eye of Terror. The fourth Great Hunt uncovered the Corellian Conspiracy and foiled its efforts to overthrow the Administratum in a bloody coup. The ninth Great Hunt led to the destruction of the Genestealer-infested worlds of the Gehenna systems. It would seem that whenever the ghost of Russ appears to his people he has some mighty task in mind for them - who knows what the next one will be." This is from the 2nd Edition Codex, which mentions a few of the results of the Great Hunts, which the new version from page 21 of the 5th Edition Codex leaves out. It looks like, however, Russ's armour is the only "relic" mentioned as recovered.
