Imperial Armour Volume Eleven - The Doom of Mymeara

Recommended Posts

Well I intend on acquiring every Imperial Armour anyway as I like the stories (however I have an odd collection, 7, 9,10 & IA Apocalypse at the minute. I think I bought 7 just so I could get the slip case as they stopped doing them and there was one in my local).

 

However this one is certainly bumped up on the interest list as it'll be interesting to see what they've done.

has anyone found it weird they name pluschill the packleader of grey hunter pack ruschill instead of naming him a wolf guard. the same with the actuall pack leader, they call it a veteran sergeant.

did forgeworld just decided to skip our pack mentality? :tu:

I thought that was odd as well. I'm just gonna tell myself that someone didn't get their coffee the morning they wrote that and I'll just pretend they meant "Alpha Grey Hunter" or something to that effect.

In the lore we call them sergeants but in the codex we call them wolf guard pack leaders, so I just figured that the IA is going by the lore.

If you are referring to the Ragnar novels than in that instance it was still a Wolf Guard who was the Sergeant. In the new IA11 it shows a Grey Hunter as a "Veteran Sergeant". I'd still like to think of him as more of the "Pack Alpha" than anything else.

It also looks like the book only slightly touches on anything wolf. Come on, IA, three pages!!?? I may pass on this volume that I was previously quite excited about. We'll see.

The image of Pluschill has him painted with WG markings, so I don't see where the problem is.

just the wording, i find it strange that he's assigned pack leader while the actually pack leader (EG member of the pack) is the veteran sergeant

It's all about point of view wolf brothers! think of it as coming from a imperial point of view. try not to let it bother you. Kinda like how Fenrisians view SW as sky warriors, or how outsiders see us as just space marines. We all have names... some of us more than one.

I'd say MaveriK is on the money. It is in one of the Badab bookd that has some Space Sharks images, and instead of saying Brother Flake and Brother Burley, FW describes them as 'unknown'. That would support that these descriptions are deliberately written from an Imperial bystander pov, rather than from someone in the loop, because surely the Space Sharks would know who their own dudes are? :huh: With that said, the SW not getting called the proper names seems similar and so would also be from an Imperial bystander pov.

Forge World IA books mostly have IG as the main Imperial force with marines of whatever flavour in a supporting role, which based on the respective numbers in the fluff is a reasonable assumption and this book looks to be following the IA pattern. The Badab books have a different focus with lots of marine fluff so maybe the writers are a little 'marined out'? I know it's Wolves and we all want more but from the FW writers perspective they will still be seeing a PA variation. I kind of expected the focus to be more Eldar/IG based on the kits they have released to support the book already and at games day it was mentioned that the only planned SW release for the book was to be Bran himself - possibly two versions?

 

Anyway I already own IA 2, plus 4-10 so I've got a pre order in and am looking forward to some FW Wolves reading over the coming holidays...

While I knew that the focus of the book was going to be Eldar, and IG. I must say I expected more than three pages for wolves. I had been really gung hoe about picking this up, if nothing more than for the fluff, I knew we were getting Bran, and I was really praying for some new shoulder pads. Do you think that thoes three pages are just for stats and and there's fluff spread through out the book? Or is it three pages and they don't get spoken about again. Whats your opinion?

 

Brother Mjollner.

As a collector of everything space wolf for twenty years I have to have this. Is any one else going to buy it?

Eventually...need cash.

-----------------------------

Hmmm on second thought only three pages....I'll pass. Not worth it. I'm not an Eldar fan. But good for them that they get some love.

It is three dedicated pages to them... I don't know if this includes the page or two that may well be dedicated to Redmaw? However this is no doubt focused on what is special about the Redmaw's doctrine and maybe a few notable individuals. They can't go nuts on the background as well because this is a major chapter they are talking about... So they have a background they need to keep to and maybe certain topics they need to keep away from due to future releases planned by GW. Also I'm sure they will get a fair show in the story line! I don't doubt that the Eldar will be more prevalent in the story and maybe the Guard as well but the Space Wolves will probably be involved in key events or save the day :(

 

I'll get it as a SWs and Eldar are my biggest armies!

Three of those sites are visible on FW. The last one will be with stat line of Bran, and maybe some other stuff for his Great Company. Well I think I don't want to buy whole book jus for this one site:(
