Space wolf lifespan?

[Wolf Guard Dan]

Somewhere in Horus Heresy serie is written, that upon the very creation of primarchs Emperor took them from the time flow ergo made the invunerable to aging. :)

 

That is a pretty manly thing to be able to do.

Seriously Val, you can fluff the $%^&*^&%$## out of people!

 

:lol:

 

Haha, thanks Brother Ramses! I've always enjoyed the old fluff, especially of my favorite Chapter, so I've been working lately on studying up on all of the available background material (excluding Black Library books, which I've never bothered with). Part of that effort has been going through everything Space Wolves related and copying it over from hardcopy (codices, White Dwarf mags from my collection, etc.) and typing it all in by hand into text files [all part of the training requirements for a Rune Priest Skald]. Right now I've got files with all of the following information at my disposal, and ready to access:

 

Late Rogue Trader era:

1. US White Dwarf 156 - The Space Wolves (article by Bill King, Andy Chambers & Jes Goodwin)
   

Note: The original Space Wolves of the early Rogue Trader Era were very similar to the Space Marines of any other Chapter. Initially, there were no seperate army lists, but a single general list to be used for all Marines. The Space Wolves got a specific list tailored to the Chapter in the "Book of the Astronomican", published in 1988, which was the first general supplement produced for the game. That list, too, was not too much changed, and looked nothing like the Space Wolves as we know them now. That transformation occured very late in the Edition, in December 1992, when US White Dwarf 156 was published, which included the revised/new details about the history and structure of the Space Wolves. White Dwarf 156 included all of the background material (or "fluff"), while White Dwarf 157 included the army list and introduced the now-famous special characters (such as Logan Grimnar, Ragnar Blackmane, and Njal Stormcaller). The background material first revealed in White Dwarf 156 has been revised and recycled over the years and included again in each release of a new edition of the game.

 

2nd Edition era:

1. Codex Space Wolves, 2nd Edition
   

Note: The Second Edition Codex, released in 1994, was the first full Codex published for Warhammer 40,000, and included all of the old background material from White Dwarf 156 and 157, in addition to a significant amount of new material, and new narratives/stories. I am still working on transcribing the hardcopy background information to the computer.

 

3rd Edition era:

1. Codex Space Wolves, 3rd Edition
   
2. US White Dwarf 244 - The Battle of the Fang
   
3. US White Dwarf 245 - Lone Wolves article (by Andy Chambers)
   
4. US White Dwarf 246 - Wolves of Fenris article (by Jervis Johnson)
   
5. US White Dwarf 258 - Wolves of Fenris artilce (by Phil Kelly) [part of Index Astartes series of articles]
   
6. US White Dwarf 283 - The Children of the Night, Space Wolves 13th Company (by Andy Hoare) [part of Index Astartes series of articles]
   

Note: In the early years of the Third Edition era, Games Workshop experimented with a new "mini-dex" format. The mini-dex for the Space Wolves was not intended to be a stand-alone product, and required that it be used in conjunction with the Codex Space Marines. The size of the Codex was cut by about 50 pages, so the vast majority of the background material was left out of the Codex, with the bulk of the publication comprising only the army list, rules, and equipment descriptions. All of the "fluff" was provided instead in three consecutive White Dwarf magazines, which coincided with the release of the Space Wolves mini-dex (White Dwarf issues 244-246, from the summer of 2000 CE).

 

Note: There was no release of a revised Space Wolves codex in the Fourth Edition era of the game, and players continued to use the 3rd Edition mini-dex, but in combination with a new Fourth Edition Codex Space Marines. As there was no new rules or army list, there was no significant additions to the background material either.

 

Lastly, since the 5th Edition codex is new and current, and readily available to all players, I haven't bothered to type anything included in it yet.

Luther has been mentioned however he is not even a space marine just an augmented human so it brings into play the role of the chaso gods with the fallen angels.

No, it brings up the role of stasis fields and advanced medicine, and neuron based torture techniques.

Space Marines are men, albeit genetically altered. Man can not escape death, however some age gracefully more than others. Time has a way with killing things that beings missed.

I was under the impression he was constantly screaming that the lion would forgive him so how can he be in a stasis field?

 

As for medicine well I would assume said medicine could be used on an astartes so maybe that asnwers the OP
