Damn!

[Zynk Kaladin]

The Ultrawolves are best wolves because they're ULTRA. A chapter with ULTRA in its name, by law of nature, has to be better than the other chapters because they are ULTRA and the rest aren't ULTRA. They often shove iron rods up their ULTRA arse so they can stand up ULTRA straight to look even more ULTRA. This act of ascension into ULTRA ULTRA has negative effects on their attitude, though, which can lead to others thinking they less than ULTRA. Also, they're fortress monastery is a pretty ULTRA place to ULTRA in.

[Grimtooth]

So, in a wolfified universe, would the "Ultrawolves" be the big exception? The one Chapter that isn't gung-ho like everyone else and instead is all professional like and makes plans and all? :D

 

 

Edit: (In that universe, would the Space Wolves Codex be the basis for all Chapters, and the most generic list, while the Ultrawolves get a very powerful Codex just for themselves in every Edition?)

 

None of the above.

 

Ultrawolves would just be blue wolves as Imperial Wolves would be yellow wolves. No one better since they would all be the best. Civilized worlds that they recruit from would be decivilized to Fenrisian standards with importation of flora and fauna to create Deathworld status.

[Wolfeslad]

SM cannot really assault Tau outside of Elites.

BT cannot really gun down Nids.

SW can do both

 

 

Enough said right there i think brother knight. You have argued your way round to our side, you dont have to be a terran politcian to see that hahaha. now run along pup and play with your glove and leave the tactics to the Wolves :D

[Requiem of the Wolf]

Apparently 48 hours of sleep deprivation isnt allways a good thing to write with.Just a random thought that i expanded on,hope at least some of you find it amusing.

 

In the Dark future...there is only the Wolves of War.

 

The horus heresy has battered the Imperium horribly. The Chaos gods have lent their full strength to their chosen warriors,while the Emperor is focused purely on holding back the psychic tide of evil,his Marines must face the traitor legions alone.Unlike his original plan to strike the head,Horus instead poisons and corrupts the body,seekign to eradicate the loyalist chapters. It is a time of great carnage,and great bravery. The Blood Angels,led by their shining primarch Sanguinius until his blood stained and broken body is cast down from the air above the planet later named "The Charnel pit" ,their rage knew no bounds. The death of their Primarch snapped the minds of almost the entire chapter,sparing only the youngest recruits. The blood angels swept through the forces of chaos like a whirlwind of death,often continuing to hack and slash at their enemies after their lives had left them. Through their sacrifice,they cast down the Herald of Khorne,but at the cost of a legion and all it stood for.The Imperial fists,led by Dorn mounted a counter attack into the eye of terror. Though they fought with a bravery unmatched in their long and storied history,their lives were crushed out bit by bit. The Ultramarines,withdrew into their planets,cut off from the rest of the Imperium by first a Chaos Fleet blockade,and then the grasping tentacles of the greatest Hive swarm ever known,one that fought with stealth and surprise,rather then the brute force the Tyrannids were known for.They laid waste to Ultramar and absorbed the entire chapter,their strength feeding the relentless swarm and forming the basis for one of the most dangerous creatures ever to lay waste to the lands of man,the Hybreed,Genestealer's with Space Marine geneseed material worked in.

 

The Dark Angels,their hearts ever open to the niggling bits of pride,felt the full wrath of Tzeentch and his Chosen,the Thousand Sons. Their faith,while strong as steel,was no match for the corruption the Changer brought in his path.In the space of a night,an entire chapter was twisted beyond all recognition,their very geneseed twisted against them,turning the Angels into winged mockeries and monstrosities. Invigorated by his success,Ahriman pushes his Thousand Sons farther and farther into the Imperium,relying on Tzeentch's blessings to twist the bodies and souls of the marines that face them,corrupting their geneseeds. Chapter after Chapter fell before the magics of Ahriman,the Emperor himself kept tied up in a titanic battle of will and power against the Chaos gods.

 

Finally the Thousand Sons made for Fenris,Where the Emperor himself had escaped to during the fall of Terra. The halls of the Fang echoed with the sounds of shields and blades,bolters and ceramite clad feet. The thousand sons descend upon the fortress of the fang through a hell storm of ice and lightning,the fangs Runepriest's making the traitor scum bleed for every inch closer they got to Fenrisian soil. Finally in bursts of rock melting warpfire,the landing ships that remained crashed into the fang,discharging a stream of blue and gold armor into the fangs inner reaches. The wolves of fenris turned,snarling in hatred like a wounded animal defending its den,and it seemed as if they might indeed stem the tide,till Magnus stepped forward and pronounced his curse,Tzeentch's power calling to the very thing that made them marines,the geneseed within their chests.But something happened then,that Ahriman,Tzeentch and even the Emperor himself could not have predicted....

 

The gene seed,reacting violently to the touch of the Chaos Magicks,erupted within the body of each Space Wolf,the genetic history of an entire chapter changing as had so many others in this war. But this time,the Canis Helix,the soul of the wolf that every Space Wolf carries within him,reacted to the attempted change and initiated a change of its own. in an explosion of armor,every Wolf in the Fang embraced the full power of the Canis helix,their bodies swelling,skin splitting to reveal a coat of dense grey fur with the strength of steel covering muscles far denser then they had been before. Leman Russ stepped out to confront Magnus,his powerful body now covered in fur of darkest sable,only his eyes remained the same. Flexing claws that could tear a hole through the armor plates of a cruiser,Russ smiled,his lupine mouth letting loose a low howl,calling his children to the hunt.From out of the shadows loped,on two legs and four,the shapes of the greatest champions of the Space Wolves,Russ's chosen guard. "Now you die false one!" snarled Russ in a close approximation of human speech. The wolves surge forward,fury lending a speed to fang and claw that not even magnus could stand against.

 

Out from the Fang swept the Wolves of Fenris,their bodies changed wholly by the Canis helix,but their minds preserved by the will of the Emperor and his chosen son Leman Russ. World by world,the Wolves retook the imperium,every Chapter homeworld brought with it new recruits,with the emperor melding the former geneseed with the canis helix,infusing the essence of each chapter,with the hardiness and indomitable spirit of the Wolves. The Last remnants of the Dark Angels,their geneseed mixed with the Canis helix,bringing forth a chapter filled with Snow white furred Wolves,taking on the name of Ghost Wolves,in honor of their many fallen dead. The Blood Angel's last remaining geneseeds mixed to create the Wolves of Blood,whose berserker furies were to become legend amongst the new imperium. The Remnants of the Imperial fists,their geneseed formed the basis of the Iron Claws,whose white furred paws contrased with their blue gray fur,their name coming from the tempered strength of their claws strong enough to tear through a ship's bulkhead faster then a chain fist.

The Wolves great strength,resilence and enhanced senses were crucial in the retaking of Ultramar,though no living human survived there.

 

The Wolf Priests of the Fang spread throughout the Galaxy,the souls of all the new marines to undergo the blessing of the Canis Helix,to act as Advisors and guides,helping the new ones adjust to whatever changes the Canis Helix might bring.And so the Imperium was saved by the very thing that sought to destroy its defenders. And Thus,the Emperor's Wolves became known throughout the Imperium as the champions of humanity,a humanity they themselves had sacrificed.

This board is epic.

 

The Ultrawolves are best wolves because they're ULTRA. A chapter with ULTRA in its name, by law of nature, has to be better than the other chapters because they are ULTRA and the rest aren't ULTRA. They often shove iron rods up their ULTRA arse so they can stand up ULTRA straight to look even more ULTRA. This act of ascension into ULTRA ULTRA has negative effects on their attitude, though, which can lead to others thinking they less than ULTRA. Also, they're fortress monastery is a pretty ULTRA place to ULTRA in.

 

And thank you for this.

[Epic Thoughts]

The Ultrawolves, unfortunately, are no where near as satisifying as the Wolf Wolves. While it is true that the Ultrawolves are less filling and have less calories than the Wolf Wolves, you just can't beat a nice, cold mug of full flavored Wolf Wolves.

[Legatus]

Naturally. Wolf Wolves have more wolf in them than Ultrawolves.

That is incorrect, at least on one occasion.

 

Ultramarines. They are not the best marines. Its just a colour.

 

ultramarine |ˌəltrəməˈrēn|

noun

a brilliant deep blue pigment originally obtained from lapis lazuli.

• an imitation of such a pigment, made from powdered fired clay, sodium carbonate, sulfur, and resin.

• a brilliant deep blue color.

ORIGIN late 16th cent.: from medieval Latin ultramarinus ‘beyond the sea’ with reference to the foreign origin of lapis lazuli.

 

They though about Aquamarine

 

aquamarine |ˌäkwəməˈrēn; ˌak-|

noun

a precious stone consisting of a light bluish-green variety of beryl.

• a light bluish-green color : the aquamarine of the Atlantic Ocean | [as adj. ] the aquamarine water.

ORIGIN early 18th cent.: from Latin aqua marina ‘seawater.’

 

but realised it mightn't wash well with the community.

You may be correct the jeske, I haven't heard the a FAQ is irrelevant just because it is in another language, fortunately no-one seems holds us to that. Have you a GW source you can quote to verify what you have said?

[Legatus]

So, essentially, I am standing against the horrors of the universe (and from beyond) only with the power of color. That's some esoteric sh*t right there. ...or maybe GW just adopted some themes from some 80s early morning cartoons, I dunno.

:D Oh brother-templar... :tu:

Yeah I got that with all the iron rod stuff, etc. ;) . I just seized the chance to tease Ultramarines :P

That's correct Legs :) . Don't worry, blue light has a short wavelength and high frequency, meaning it has a high kinetic energy. That can be dangerous. It could be worse, you could be the Aquamarines :P

[Zynk Kaladin]

They've actually done studies on Tyranids that suggest they are sexually attracted to lightish blue.

Well if we were to mix your post about the ULTRAWOLVES and Requiem of the Wolf's sleep deprived post... We may just get that ULTRANID Hybrid you both seem to be hinting at.

[Grey Mage]

Ok guys, I thought this was supposed to be about how cool it was to be a SW.... not trying to lock down the ego of the BTs or making cheap jokes at the Ultras.

 

Lets get it back to the awesome, ok?

[Marshal Wilhelm]

Ok guys, I thought this was supposed to be about how cool it was to be a SW.

It was supposed to be, but Templars are better :)

We are the awesome!

[Grimtooth]

Yea, listen to Grey, no need to get this locked.

 

I remember back in one of my old Chapter Approved they listed the most winningnest army. With 3rd Ed codez, Blood Angels was 1st followed by my Space Wolves in 2nd place.

 

I realize now, that at that time I was still playing the Salamander box army I had bought when I got into the game. Had I been playing Wolves, they would have been 1st.

[Grimtooth]

If Space Wolves was a cereal, it wouldn't cut the roof of your mouth like Captain Crunch. It would blow your head clean off your shoulders.

[Grimtooth]

Chuck Norris would not make the cut on being chosen by a Wolf Priest.

[Grey Mage]

You can wear baby blue, and no one will say anything about it because you are THAT awesome ^_^.

[Grimtooth]

Only Space Wolves could change the color spectrum forcing all of us to call baby blue, Space Wolves Grey.

[Zynk Kaladin]

You know you're a Space Wolf when it takes weeks to find your spear after throwing it at the moon in an angry drunk rage

 

You know you're a Space Wolf when you walk into a camp of Imperial Guard and they get instantly drunk off your fumes.

 

You know you're a Space Wolf when you get scolded for pissing on a Blood Angel thinking hes a fire hydrant.

[Durfast Spiritwolf]

You know you're a Space Wolf when the ceramic armour of said Blood Angel then starts smouldering and gradually dissolves due to the high alcohol content in your piss
