Skarvald the Troll-faced Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Hey there, Wolf Brothers. This is the moment we've all been waiting for - SPACE WOLF ACHIEVEMENTS! SPACE WOLVES ACHIEVEMENTS! There are 100-something Achievements. Some of them will test your competitiveness. Others will task you with finally painting your army and even putting yourself way out there, seeking the approval of others. There are achievements for besting different foes, for playing various missions from many of the 40k supplement books (Planetstrike, Battle Missions, Apocalypse), for accomplishing the goals of all the Sagas and even some crazy achievements that have to do with fielding many of the Space Wolves Special Characters and doing the impossible (if there is even such a thing for us!) with 'em. Some of them are easy. Some - challenging. Some achievements will require a totally different list, perhaps (and most likely) something you've never done before. Others are quite situational and you will need to seek out specific opponents to accomplish them... but all of them are supposed to reward you for doing something a little different. Winning with your super-optimized list might be fun, but gets boring after a while. Don't let that happen!!! We have one of the craziest, most flavorful codices out there with so many possibilities, so many insane combinations that if done properly will have you howling like a wolf and your opponents crying. You might have accomplished some.. perhaps many of them... but 2012 is coming. Why not start from the beginning? Completing all achievements sounds like a GREAT New Year's Resolution to me, at least it will guarantee that your year won't be boring. how about even promising yourself that crazy expensive Forge World mini if you accomplish all of them? Or even sending your old buddy Skarvald the Troll-faced a beer.. or something, hehe.. Oh. And the list WILL grow. I will take all suggestions into consideration, which is why why the achievements are not numbered. Numbers are for Space Smurfs.. You will find the Space Wolves Achievements in the similarly named Page under the blog's header-image thing. And do let me know in the comments if you have any suggestions, if you accomplish a sweet achievement. I LOVE hearing your Sagas, so don't be afraid. IF you have your very own blog or you frequent any Space Wolves forums - share these achievements! Let your Space Wolf buddies know about them. I really think that they are a great way to spice up your hobby. Click on the link to check out the achievements as I'm too lazy right now to format the text and make all 100+ achivement names in bold. I really, really hope you guys enjoy them. I really tried, lol! Happy achievement hunting ~ Skarvald the Troll-faced P.S: *is praying for a Sticky if people like it* Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/244011-space-wolves-achievements/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schertenleib Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Wow! That looks great. Is there anyone that could run this up in a spreadsheet or something to make a proper checklist?

Skarvald the Troll-faced Posted December 23, 2011 Author Share Posted December 23, 2011 @Schertenlieb: Thanks! I really put a lot of effort into it. It's been sitting in Draft mode in my blog for more than a week and a half. So.. I decided to release it to the public.. as an early Xmas gift! :devil: I really dig your idea of a spreadsheet of some kind, but unfortunately am not really sure if I can do it. But if someone else want to give it a shot I'd love to link to it or post it on my blog. Have you accomplished any of the more "challenging" feats from the list? And can you see yourself actually attempting to get a bunch of them?

Hfran Morkai Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 This is awesome. I take it determining rank can use older SW codex as well? And I'll happily through it into a spreadsheet for you guys (Just give me a couple of days to complete it).

Kassill Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 "It's going to be LEGEN-wait for it-DARY!" :) This is seriously Epic brother! I have always been an achievement whore in games I play so this definitely wont be slipping my paws! ;) Also, I may have some ideas for a few more if ya wanna hear em.

Skarvald the Troll-faced Posted December 23, 2011 Author Share Posted December 23, 2011 @Kassill - Yeah, haha.. I know.. a lot of them are cheesy. But they are supposed to be. And if you have any ideas - by ANY means go right ahead and perhaps shoot me a comment either here or at Wolves for the Wolf God. I was actually originally planning on starting a thread here and getting the community to come up with a list, but it was going to take tooo long. At least we have a stable foundation to work on, right?

Lightning Bolt! Lightning Bolt! Description: Kill a monstrous creature using nothing but the Living Lightning spell from the Space Wolves Codex.

Hfran Morkai Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Well I've made a database with checklists. However I made this in OpenOffice Calc so I'm not sure if the tickboxes will transfer over to Excel or not (I'm too poor for Office lol). There's both an OpenOffice file and an Excel file. So here goes. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=E4VKYALL Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/244011-space-wolves-achievements/#findComment-2950145 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skywards Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Fantastic idea Skarvald, I love it! I'm gonna have to try and complete at least 50% by the end of 2012, and am definitely looking forward to trying some of the more wacky ones :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/244011-space-wolves-achievements/#findComment-2950244 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wulfebane Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 For some reason, I kept expecting to see a Grimnar-related achievement titled "Hail to the King, baby" These are completely awesome and I can't wait to try some of them out! That said, you have 2? achievements based solely around Necron special characters, and 1 achievement based around a Dark Eldar special character (and Lukas). I think more armies' special characters should be represented. btw, the creativity in some of these titles/achievements is awe-inspiring.

Valerian Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Very well done! Great idea for the Fang. I have to ask, however, what are the 'night Sagas' that you refer to in one section? I wasn't familiar with those. Valerian Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/244011-space-wolves-achievements/#findComment-2950313 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or killing a thousand or a thousand points worth of Thousand Suns marine? Or killing Azreal of the DAs?

I wasn't familiar with those. Valerian The night sagas are from the SW version of the Contemptor Dreadnought. One of the sagas is themed around your dreadnought angrily trying to crush all other walkers on the board: I must admit I love the idea of a SW Dread belligerently gunning down and assaulting all the opponents sentinels, war walkers, ork dreads etc. for daring to take to the field against him ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/244011-space-wolves-achievements/#findComment-2950381 Share on other sites More sharing options...

There already is an achievement for beating Azreal's Deathwing with Logan's Wolfwing - it's called The Lion and the Wolf.

Come pups, this is how killin' is done! Kill an ELITE or HQ choice in mêlée with a unit lead by Ulrik the Slayer. It's not about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit. And keep moving forward. That's how winnin' is done! Kill an enemy unit with your HQ, in mêlée, after your HQ is reduced to one wound. Expelliarmus pwnerus! Kill an enemy psyker HQ by using an Runepriest's spell. BOOM! HEADSHOT! Instant death a multi wound IC using a shooting weapon. I can dance all day, try and hit me, try and hit me.

Though shalt not! I shall! Kill an untouched enemy unit who charged your unit with your unit.
