captain sox Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Hey Folks, Been reading a few posts lately and there a lot of reference to Greenwing. I know Deathwing, Ravenwing, Mixedwing, Dualwing, etc, but what is Greenwng? Is it some sort of Environmentally freindly list? Sorry if this is a lame or strange question, I'm really at a loss on this one. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/250144-what-the-heck-is-greenwing/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grotsmasha Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Yep, Greenwing is used to describe PA, non RW/DW armies. Ironwing is a Crusade Era formation for a SM armoured company, all tanks, no infantry.

Chaplain Lucifer Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Ironwing was the company that fielded tanks and mechanised support. It has been absent from the fluff for quite some time but older players still fondly remember it and claim for it's return.

Droma Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Greenwing is basically any DA unit that you'd paint the armor green on. So tac, dev, vets, etc. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/250144-what-the-heck-is-greenwing/#findComment-3031957 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it would be to much to ask the new dex brings ironwing back?

Grand Master Belial Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 And with Chronus existing in the Space Marine Codex and the Spearhead WD supplement. Ironwong is no longer outside the realms of possibility. I would think to add an option in the generic Master entry to pay for an upgrade to make them a Master of the Ironwing. It can then creep into the SM Codex as the Apocalypse character Master of the Arsenal.

Brother Immolator Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Is it some sort of Environmentally freindly list? After an exterminatus,the DA descend on the planet and start planting trees to reform the atmosphere and then the ecosystem. The list is comprised mostly of techmarines and apothecaries and they are equipped with foliage grenades (contain a large amount of dung) and squirt guns. :( :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/250144-what-the-heck-is-greenwing/#findComment-3032151 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironwing is a Crusade Era formation for a SM armoured company, all tanks, no infantry. Cheers, Jono Incorrect. Ironwing was a MOSTLY mechanized formation but it had infantry units also as Mole Mortars did not have a transport option. Short version: Ironwing = Greenwing. Dont make me dive into my box of old WDs to find the Epic (Titanicus/Space Marine) list that named the units available...
