Grimtooth Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 So I have been in the trenches (HH forum) taking shots at/from the resident SW haters. Good times, I tell ya. However during the course of discussion I am always referencing old material and got to reading about Bjorn. I have come to the definitive conclusion that he is the baddest of all badasses in 40k. Let's look at some evidence; 1. He fought during the Great Crusade. 2. He fought during the Horus Heresy. 3. He fought during the Battle of the Fang. 4. He fought with Russ himself AS one of his Wolf Guard. 5. Russ trusted him to lead the VI Legion after he left. 6. He cut the arm off of the PRIMORDIAL CREATOR when he was in Horus form as a regular SW. 7. He fought a daemon PRIMARCH as a dreadnought and was the sole survivor of that encounter. 8. His name is Bjorn. I seriously don't think anyone has a resume like above, not to mention the things I am missing. If I was drinking right now, I would raise a tankard to Bjorn! TO BJORN!!!

Apahllo Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 He and cypher are my favorites in 40k. There's a quote(esinhorn maybe?) from him during a conversation with an inquisitor where Bjorne states that he ate and drank(among other things) with the emperor. He is full of character and never ceases to be badass. TO BJORN!!!1!

Ozeryk_Sleipnijr Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 If you think about it, Bjorn is one of the reasons why the Space Wolves are considered rebels by the ecclesiarchy. All the stuff they preach about the emperor is speculation. Björn on the other hand has met the Emperor so the tales that Space Wolves hear from him are the real thing - to me that gives the Space Wolves one of the most potent charackteristics: conviction Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/266452-bjorn-ultimate-40k-badass/#findComment-3245602 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valerian Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 What is the Primordial Creator? Agreed that Bjorn is one of the coolest characters in the 40k universe. In game, however, I wish Phil had given him regular access to a Drop Pod, like other Dreadnoughts; very annoying that he didn't.

I agree with all of the above being a positive reason to like Bjorn the Fell Handed. However, number 8. isn't a positive. Anyone named after a member of such a terrible pop group for some reason thought of well in the pop world, is not a positive! :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/266452-bjorn-ultimate-40k-badass/#findComment-3246635 Share on other sites More sharing options...
greysquigg Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 What a great character, looking to make my own Bjorn conversion. Have never been too keen on the model but absolutely love the character in all the lore.

elithren Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 SPOILER WARNING In the Emperor's Gift, Bjorn rebukes the inquisitor lord for calling the Emperor a God "Calling him a god was how all this mess started." He makes other comments about how the Emperor liked him, he fought beside him, etc. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/266452-bjorn-ultimate-40k-badass/#findComment-3247355 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fivepointedstar Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 There's a reason the Saga of the Bear exists... Because Bjorn the Fell-Handed started it.

The fact that he CAN be named Bjorn and STILL accomplish all that he has is makes him the alpha being of the galaxy. Kinda like how Doug Flutie was so awesome DESPITE being named Doug Flutie.
