Heresy-Era Wolf Lords/Great Companies?


Grim Dog Studios

Recommended Posts

Hi all, just starting a heresy-era wolves force and was just wanting to know if there is anymore Wolf Lords and their respective great companies at the time of the heresy mentioned anywhere?

So far all I've managed to get is:

 

Onn (1st company) is lead by Gunnar Gunnhilt,

Tra (3rd company) is lead by Ogvai Ogvai Helmschrot,

Fyf (5th company) is lead by Amlodhi Skarssen Skarssenson,

and finally the 13th company (not sure on what its called in Space Wolf numbers) unless I'm mistaken is lead by Lord Bulveye in some sources, both the short story in Tales of Heresy and the Ragnar novel Wolf's Honour, but in the current SW codex it states the 13th was lead by Jorin Bloodhowl, so not sure about this one!

 

Just want to know so I can decided what company they will be and to write a little homegrown fluff!

Thanks for looking! :)

From the Saga of Jorin Bloodfang


In time, the ranks of the 6th Legion
swelled to a great host.

And many bore the Mark
[FRAGMENT MISSING]

And so Russ banded them all into
one Great Company.

And to Bloodfang fell the honor
Of leading them to laurels and glory
In the name of Russ and the
All Father.

Bloodfang named [FRAGMENT MISSING]
Grail, Orkbane, Sigurd, Thorbrand,
and Grafield.

To each a retinue was granted.

And as a band of brothers the
13th Great Company
Reaved across the stars.

Neither xenite, or Apostate,
nor Fiend
Could stand before [FRAGMENT MISSING]
the Were was upon them.

But at the Gates of [FRAGMENT MISSING]
did Bloodfang rage
And plunge headlong into
[FRAGMENT MISSING]
Neither kin nor Master could
restrain him.

And beyond the Gates did the
Wulfen-kind pass.

At Asaheim, the Wolves did cry for
one hundred nights
To mourn the passage of their kin.

There is a short story with Bulveye as the Lord during the Heresy. It is the short story "Wolf at the Door" by Mike Lee in the Tales of Heresy anthology. There has never been a concrete answer on whether Jorin or Bulveye are the correct Lords, but considering HH says Bulveye, the Ragnar books say Bulveye, and Valerian has this short on Jorin. I think it has been retconned.  Since that saga is notoriously incomplete. It is possible that the 13th was reformed multiple times. 

It's not a retcon; Black Library authors have gone with Bulvye, while Studio authors have always stuck with Jorin in WD articles and codices (including our 5e codex).

Depending on how the Great Companies were like or how FW will organize the sixth legion formation maybe they can incorporate both characters to make sense with the current 40k fluff?! maybe they'll have Jorin watch over or be jarl of the wulfen packs while Bulvye leads the actual men of the thirteenth.
