Atropos Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 So, pretty simple. You can post several reasons if you wish. I'll get the job started, brothers. 1 - We're heroes, such as normal SM, but more independent. 2 - Our brotherhood is unrivaled. 3 - We drink beer. Keep it rollin', for RUSS!!!

Quannum Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 4 - We have our own Codex. 5 - We are the first line of defence against the Eye of Terror. 6 - In our force organisation, the old boys get the big guns, not the boot.

Lord Ragnarok Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 I do not like this topic. I see no reason for it to exist. It is potential flame bait. We do not need to juxtaposition our selves in such a manner. And why the focus on the Ultras? Why can't it be "What makes SW's so cool?"?

Atropos Posted July 11, 2011 Author Share Posted July 11, 2011 Changed the title... Reasons why SW are so cool. So there's no more comparing them to Ultramarines, or 101 reasons, or whatever...

Lord Ragnarok Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 5 - We are the first line of defence against the Eye of Terror. Wrong, Fenris isnt Cadia. This is true. Along with the Praesus chapters of Space Marines who's main mission is to guard the Eye. (Although we would play a large part of any invasion as we are very close to the Eye) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/233835-reasons-why-sw-are-so-cool/#findComment-2815534 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_son_of_Dorn Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 you are super genetical warrior whos primarch was raised by a wolf and whos true farther is the saviour of hummanity, not to mention your super genetic warriors are clad in amazing tribal artwork and runes with the latest of super imperial armour/ technology, are renowned for being the bad boys of the imperium rejecting the codex and ride super wolves (yes actual giant wolves from an ice world in which your super fortress which can hold of a billion men is stationed) plus you get some amazing long teeth, and a chance to battle orks and xeno's with justified hate in the most agressive of ways/ you have held of the avatar of khorne himself on armageddon, your current chapter master was given command of grand battle operations. all of armageddon and even grey knights (an amazing accomplishment!) and you are still going strong riding your super wolf to the shops and back whilst getting tankerd on ale in your very own long hall with your closest brothers................whats not to love?

Wysten Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 For me, the wolves of russ are great because: 1) We are honest warriors, we may not be the prettyest warriors in what we do, but we do it for humanity. Much like any Space Marine. We are reasonable with allys, after all, we need to save our brutality for the real foes out there. The xero and the heretic. 2) Our relaxed structure allows our great company to grow in strength during periods of peace, to have every wolf do what he wants to do, in order to better combat our foes. Sure, our organisation may not be codex standards, but I would rather have another 30/50 kinsmen with me when fighting out and out battles. 3) Our efficency; Again, hardly realistic, but an example of our flexability, our ability to fight with hand to hand and with range equally as effective, or where feness fails, 2-3 grey hunter squads swarming in for a royal scrap will see us through. 4) Our sense of style: Only we could come riding on the backs of rhino sized wolves and get away with it, plus we have a fanatstic number of paint schemes that are not too far out there.

Aeddon Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Space Wolves - Fighting the enemies of mankind with this hand, flipping the bird to anyone who doesn't like it with the other one! We wolves are the ones who look out for the citizens of the imperium when all others go running. We reward someone with worth based upon what they do, not who they are and what they think they are entitled to. We don't train against machines, we train against eachother to hone our skills. We live life fully, not like some sad monk or self loathing puritan. We've got some of the best fluff and possibly, more fluff than any other chapter. But for me, most of all, you can only truly know why Space Wolves are so great if you are one!

I couldn't agree more, brother. The beer should totally come before anything else. my point was more that beer shouldn't be even on the list :( it's only a tiny part of our rich fluff but people tend to act like space wolves are drunk most of the time, as if ale (or mjod) and bashing someones brain in is the only thing that matters to the sixth! seriously, read the fluff of how other startes think of the sixth, read the lines of how we are the allfather his last resort to anything, how even other astartes admit the sixth is superior to them. do none of you remember the war within, war without? this line isn't refering to a hangover whelps!

Marshal Rohr Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Its not even beer, dude. Its anti-freeze and nutrient soup. It will kill normal humans. Also, you are not the last line on everything. You are not as brutal as the World Eaters or as murderous as the Night Lords, you simply have very good esprit de corps and a permeating sense of elitism that inspires your legion.

Grimtooth Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 By far my favorite aspect of the VI is their very strong link to humanity. They retain so much of their Fenrisian culture and they just merely see themselves as Fenrisians 2: Astartes Boogaloo. The only other chapter I feel that really, "gets it" are the Salamanders, my second favorite chapter. Secondly would be the fluff, as has been presented now. I did not like the Space Viking portrayal of the 3rd Edition codex at all. The introduction of the 13th Co in Codex Eye of Terror partially snagged on the Wolves, the 5th Edition codex a little more, and the HH and Battle of the Fang firmly entrenched me. As I have said before, they are not the Space Wolves for me at all, they are the VI Legion for me and always will be. Lastly, I am going to say that their flexibility as a force. Both in gaming but also theory, the VI is by far the most flexible force in the 40k universe. This appeals to me far more then any of the specialized armies of 40k. A balanced, effective, powerful army. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/233835-reasons-why-sw-are-so-cool/#findComment-2815916 Share on other sites More sharing options...
