You and the Fluff


Wysten

Recommended Posts

I love fluff, it is the reason I play the armies I do. I do how ever like to add my own twists, like "Wolf Lord Direfang" ( model and minorly revised fluff coming soon). But my twists are with in (at least to me) the fluff that is already writen even if you have to go to a few different locations before finding all the answers.

Fluff is important, but not so important that I'll let it force me to make what I think are poor army list choices. For example, I havent been using Blood Claws in my 5th Edition games. I know that they are in Ragnar's Great Company, but they are fighting somewhere "off-table" with the other 120-140 members of the Company that aren't fighting "on-table" with me and Ragnar.

 

On the other hand, I've had great success by ignoring the Internet approved solutions and going with what I feel is a more fluff-appropriate list. For example, I've never taken more than 1 Rune Priest, I almost always take Ragnar, I take large Wolf Scout Packs geared for close combat, I take a mixture of heavy weapons in my Long Fangs Packs instead of all Missile Launchers, I don't play any TWC, and I don't use Rhinos or Razorbacks (just 1 Land Raider and up to 3 Drop Pods). Each of these choices tends be the opposite of any recommendations that you would get on the army list subforum, but they haven't cost me a game yet.

 

So yeah, the fluff is important to me, but it is my own interpretation of the fluff that really matters.

Pretty much sums my approach up. I use whichever seems right to me at that point - never more than one lord or one wolf priest though. I'll sometimes take two rune priests - one with master of the runes, and one lvl 1 - his skald.
