he_plays_guitar Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 So I am painting my very first Space Wolf army, I bought a large amount of unpainted and unfinished SW's from a friend who unfortunately is leaving the hobby. He just never got into it enough. Fortunately for me, that means I get to build and paint a new army! So I had a few questions...I want this army to be pretty fluffy. I have a Dark Angel army and an Alpha Legion army and they are very fluffy, very accurate as far as shoulder pad markings and squad markings, sticking as closely to the fluff as I can. Here's where the question comes in. Are the Space Wolves limited to the great companies shown in the codex? I know the left shoulder pad gets painted in the company heraldry to which the space wolf belongs to, my friend likes to paint all his shoulder pads as Ragnar's company because it's easy to do with the wolf head decal. I was wondering if i'm limited to the ones in the book, or is making your own Wolf Lord and company badge encouraged? I know it's my hobby, my models, I can do what I want...but I want to know if it's going against the fluff. Just thought I'd get the opinions of the Fluff Lords here on the Fang. Thanks in advance!

AnvilofFenris Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 I think the companies listed in the codex are the current ones, but you could create your own as belonging to a historic wolf lord Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/241177-fluff-masters-i-seek-your-wisdom/#findComment-2912511 Share on other sites More sharing options...

he_plays_guitar Posted October 30, 2011 Author Share Posted October 30, 2011 Outstanding. That's exactly the reaction I had hoped for! I like to create personal armies but still adhere to the fluff, and this will allow me to accomplish that! Now I must contemplate my great company and it's Wolf Lord, it's history, fluff, etc... Thanks for the replies! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/241177-fluff-masters-i-seek-your-wisdom/#findComment-2912590 Share on other sites More sharing options...
