playedsincedaemonhunters Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Hey all i am writing to see if any of you, can help fill in some details about Jarl Vaer Greylock, or the "whitewolf" as hes reffered to he , hes from the Black library book: "Battle of the fang". i know hes 12th company, but i wanted to see if you guys knew anything about his Loadout, shoulder iconography etc. etc. I know hes a gaunt looking pale skinned, white haired wirey space wolf, he carries a pair of wolf claws in combat, and has a 5 man retinue of TA Wolf guard. im going to be making a space wolf army featuring the defenders of the fang, Hraldir, Sturjmhart, Bjorn. Any details on the them would help also (bjorn is pretty straight forward) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/248003-jarl-vaer-greylock-and-company/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan230 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I want to do the same thing and tried making a thread a month or two ago. Nobody replied to it. Sadly, information on the company is pretty scarce unless Valerian knows something I dont and isnt wanting to share.

MaveriK Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I don't remember exactly his load out, but I think it's TDA with twin wolf claws. How cool would it be if his icon was the spirit wolf.

That's what I remember too. I can't picture him being too bothered about how much extra detail is added though. Seemed more about the task than showing off his achievements.

playedsincedaemonhunters Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 The main detail im concerned with is his iconography, i dont recall the book detailing his sigil. but i was thinking a white wolf, hunting a yellow star on a black pauldron?

Wardiel Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 i was thinking a white wolf, hunting a yellow star on a black pauldron? That does sound quite like "The Wolf that Stalks the Stars" or the Great Wolf's icon.

playedsincedaemonhunters Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Yeah girmnars has the wolf standing in between the two stars right? i was thinking more of a wolf, crouched low, prowling about and a single star in the sky, idk just a thought:p dont want to rip of ole' Logan Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/248003-jarl-vaer-greylock-and-company/#findComment-3003561 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardiel Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Usually see it as a standing white wolf with a yellow star in front of him, on a black background. If you used something like Bjorn Stormwolf's wolf icon (the prowling sort) with a star right above it... that sounds pretty awesome actually. I think Greyloc would make for a very characterful lord to run. Can't wait to see what you do with it!

Marmande Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 If you wanted something simple, maybe just a white version of Ragnar's symbol as befitting of the White Wolf. EDIT: Against a black background, not yellow. Not unless you like the feeling of your eyes burning out.

elithren Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Searched through the Space wolves codexes that I got, nothing about the icon that I can find. I'll look through Battle of fang and see if there is anything at the beginning about it. But, I'd say you are free to use whatever as the icons in the current codex are not the full list of icons that have been used, though many are repeated. Have at it!

Sadly, information on the company is pretty scarce unless Valerian knows something I dont and isnt wanting to share. As far as I know, the only place he's ever been mentioned is in that Black Library book, which you already have. He's not been mentioned in any of the Studio fluff, including the Battle of the Fang article from White Dwarf 244. Valerian P.S. I always share, if I notice the thread.

taffeh Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I've actually converted up the Space Hulk TLC model to represent Greyloc as I would imagine that be his pose facing Maggy. Have combined it with the WG frame including cloak...

He depicted a... comtemplative, would you say, space wolf. The cold stare, the seemingly low but threatening growl... i felt it befits Greyloc. As such (also because I'm not very good at drawing without any reference), I copied his work, while adding in a bit on how i envisioned Greyloc to be.

Spinsanity Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I was currently in the process of reading trough the book (just began yesterday, actually) and figured I'd chime in here as I was looking at the cover... We can see two different iconographies on said cover; on the spine, the SW there shows a reverse-blackmane icon, a yellow wolf's head on a black background, which could possibly be Greylock's emblem. Howevre, on the cover itself all the marines seem to have a red two-headed Morkai icon on a grey (black?) field. Think either of those could be used as Greylock's colors?

Howevre, on the cover itself all the marines seem to have a red two-headed Morkai icon on a grey (black?) field. Think either of those could be used as Greylock's colors? Interesting. Well given what we know and what you have just told us, perhaps the red two-headed Morkai icon on grey field could be the right choice. 1. grey field = greylock ? might be a bit of a jump but then we have support of 2. The only Dreadnoughts that were mentioned in the book were at the fang. So we can surmises that the iconography on the SWs around said Dreadnought on the cover should be at the fang. Hence their iconography can be traced to be Greylock's Great company. 3. To strength the case that it is picture at the Fang, the only environment mentioned with snow was indeed the fang. So Brothers ( and Sisters if Skadi and any other female Wolves are about) i think we have our answer.

Arkkinite Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Now that you've mention it, yes I believe this IS our answer. The white wolf is "like a shade of Morkai, Snow on snow" Morkai is a twin headed wolf. That explains the emblem, along with a grey background. Well done Player!

Freakiq Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I believe the Iconography on the cover is the right one. The Space Wolf on the spine is only used to show that the book is about the Space Wolves who are commonly depicted as bluish-grey with yellow details.
