Blckbuster Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 this thread is full of win and I love the stuff you and mav are doing, but a little bit off topic, is there someone with more Norse knowledge than myself know why they used a word that is a text book definition of a disorganized retreat for broken troops to describe the body of Astartes from Fenris in Prospero Burns?

Mind saying which word? I'mma go with Rout, but I'll wait for the reply before guessing, researching, and speculating.

Rikochet Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I think the word "Rout" actually isnt taken from any norse or scandinavian, its actually english meaning: 1. a. A disorderly retreat or flight following defeat. b. An overwhelming defeat. 2. a. A disorderly crowd of people; a mob. b. People of the lowest class; rabble. 3. A public disturbance; a riot. 4. A company, as of knights or wolves, that are in movement. See Synonyms at flock1. 5. A fashionable gathering Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/230945-winter-guard/page/4/#findComment-2784907 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blckbuster Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I don't know how I left out the subject of my post!! too excited @rikochet a fashionable gathering? that's a serious stretch I wish I never heard of the word, or they used one that didn't already have such a negative meaning that is in common usage in wargaming maybe it's like "a boy called sue" they go with a laughable name to get them into more fights <_< Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/230945-winter-guard/page/4/#findComment-2785169 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikochet Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Haha yeah, but im guessing they intended definition #4 to be the meaning of the Rout 4.

Jimmy Carmine Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 i found where i think Rikochet may have found it at http://www.thefreedictionary.com/rout beacuse that is where i found it at That suggests that it is a synonym of Flock, one of loads of synonyms. ;) So we have a Flock of Sheep, a Herd of Cattle, a Murder of Crows and a Pack of Wolves and a Rout of Wolves. As 'Rout' can be used for both Wolves and Knights, I wonder if this use derives from a knights performing feigned retreats to draw out pursuit from opposing forces. It mentions the Battle of Hastings on the Wiki entry on Rout, where a rout of the Breton forces drew drew out some of the the English defenders from the shield wall. That allowed the Breton Knights to counter attack these now unguarded units. It sounds like the kind of cunning tactics the Wolves would pull off.

Rikochet Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Rout isnt just exclusive to knights or wolves, it is any kind of "company" on the move! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/230945-winter-guard/page/4/#findComment-2785905 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Carmine Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Yes any company can 'rout' from battle, I was thinking more the origin of describing a group as a Rout of X.

dublindawg Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 The off topic rambling of the young pups, explains how they can get easily excited about trivial matters. With being in the process of working on 4 different armies at this time, I have neglected to visit my fellow Wolves on here. I will pass out a round of ales to the worthy Brothers and Sister. I must say having read thru this entire thread I am compelled to make some additional shield maidens myself. My lone attempt is pale in comparision to Mav's model. A listing of what parts were used from what lines would be greatly appreciated. @Mav-Girl, I think you have inspired many on here to do some additional modeling for our Wolf Companies. Keep it up!!
