Grimtooth Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I kinda want to see someone that airbrushed the Carcharadon Grey on some models. That will be my way of doing it if it turns out good.

Valerian Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Our colour has also been described as ash grey which has no blue in it. Forte, Where has Space Wolves armour been described as ash grey? I am genuinely curious. I have only ever seen it described as simply "wolf grey" in contemporary articles (with the newer blue-grey color scheme), and old articles (when Studio Wolves were painted a light "plain grey"). Although the actual color tone changed significantly in the 90's, the description "wolf grey" was consistent. Either way, I doubt anyone will run into many Space Sharks players, so just pat them on the back for going the cool themed-army route, when you do.

LoneSniperSG Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 You should all be WELL aware by now the Carcharodons and Minotaurs exceed the Space Wolves in brutality by SEVERAL ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE. The Executioners were so nuts in combat the Space Wolves even coined the ironic 'laughing axe-men' name. When they start turning into were-sharks, were-bulls or were-sawblades, then I'll be truly impressed. Until then, Mark of the Wulfen has them AND the Black Rage beat. Pride, of course. Space Wolves are the Emperor's original executioners after all. (Yes.. Just read Prospero Burns finally. And on that point I agree.)

Stormshrug Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 I know I was just saying. Okay, fair, I had binged the IA books recently, so I didn't have a good sense of a timescale of publication. Still, it's hardly recent enough that you should expect a Carcharodons resurgence NOW because of it - there have been actual codices printed since then to take up the limelight. People who are going to FotM to Carcharodons would have done it six months ago. Carcharodons are hardly as flashy or interesting as Grey Knights, given their single IC and fairly bare-bones rules. The FotM train has left the station. -Stormshrug Gasp. Maybe people who play them do it for the cool background and the fact they Carcharodons are probobaly some of the most burtal marines in existence? Or even worse, what if they totally just IGNORE the crummy rules and do it for the modelling opportunities! HOW DARE THEY! Okay, but that's pretty much in line with my point. There are tons of awesome chapters with cool fluff (read: pretty much all of them). If they don't have their own special rules, though, they'll never go FoTM. A few dedicated players will field them because they like them, but powergamers will never flood to a specific, non-differentiated Space Marine chapter. -Stormshrug Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/233595-grey-grey-and-identity-crisis/page/2/#findComment-2820188 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneSniperSG Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 but powergamers will never flood to a specific, non-differentiated Space Marine chapter. -Stormshrug What does it take to turn a person into a snarling, ravenous powergamer who cares nothing for fluff, but only "I CAN SPAM 50 ATTACKS FROM THIS ONE UNIT IN ONE TURN! ZOMG MUST RUN THIS ARMY!" and waste incredible amounts of money on changing armies every few months? Seems to me like GW is kind of getting irritated with this as well, considering the Grey Knights book wasn't the blockbuster everyone thought it would be. It's a powerful book with many goodies, but there isn't anything in it that dominates any other book.

Fred Johnson the 3rd jr Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 You know GK is widely agreed to be one of the most broken lists ever released? Er... first of all, don't you mean codex? Or more accurately codices? GK is not a list, but you can make army lists from the GK codex. Second, widely agreed according to who? You and five friends? Did you take a poll? Was it a large enough sample size? Did you take into account response bias? I am guessing you did none of these things (though if you did I would honestly love a link to your study/poll). Third, assertions don't mean much of anything, you need to back them up with actual evidence such as "it is broken because of A, B and C, now let explain in depth why I consider A, B and C to be broken." Fourth, what the heck does this have to do with a thread on Space Wolves Color Schemes!? NOTHING. Now back on point, Grey-Grey Space Wolves is a widely used color scheme. The most recent codex has a Grey-Blue armor scheme, that is true, but it is not like the Grey-Grey scheme is rare or even uncommon. It is everywhere. There is no crisis.

Codex: Blood Angels deserved concern. Concern I do not share for Codex: Grey Knights. Also back on point. How does anyone confuse Space Wolves for Space Sharks or opposite? One is SCREAMING BEARDED MEN WITH WOLFY-NESS ALL OVER THE PLACE. The other is just screaming men.
