Grimtooth Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 So inspired by this graphic, http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s89/Grimtooth_photos/MorkaiGCChart_zps6e66ac4c.jpg I am looking at doing the same for Bran Redmaw. The best part is that due to some unexpected income that will be coming in this summer, it looks to be a very possible reality. Give me a few to get my list made up from my handwritten notes. Edited because graphic is so big. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288651-bran-redmaw-gc/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fytharin Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I thought they had these for each company? Would definitely be awesome to see, good luck :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288651-bran-redmaw-gc/#findComment-3634140 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimtooth Posted March 26, 2014 Author Share Posted March 26, 2014 I have been unable to I thought they had these for each company? Would definitely be awesome to see, good luck I have been unable to find one for Bran Redmaw. A greater project then I have time to handle right now would be to create a program to create a GC with drag and drops onto a nice wolfish template. I am just trying to get Redmaw's done for now.

mactire Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Please dont let this be true. One of the best things about collecting the Rout is that there are no fixed numbers for the Great Companies, we are not supposed to be Codex compliant. What kind of GC has one pack of GH's ????? I know the codex states that Morkai favours Wolf Scouts but jeez that takes the biscuit, he might as well see if Telion wants to join up.

Hfran Morkai Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I'd take it more as "This is what the Great Company consisted of at a certain moment in time" than it being a concrete number. Also out of curiosity, where is this image from? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288651-bran-redmaw-gc/#findComment-3634992 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimtooth Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 Please dont let this be true. One of the best things about collecting the Rout is that there are no fixed numbers for the Great Companies, we are not supposed to be Codex compliant. What kind of GC has one pack of GH's ????? I know the codex states that Morkai favours Wolf Scouts but jeez that takes the biscuit, he might as well see if Telion wants to join up. Their is no fixed number but each GC is formed around the fighting style and personality of the jarl that leads it. I see no problem with Morkai's force organization chart as it remains true to exactly what has been said about him for a very long time. I like how his WG consist of obviously Wolf Scouts ans well as power armored WG. So my initial thought with HQ for a Bran Redmaw GC has him at the top with a direct line to a Fenrisian Wolves unit on the side since with the research I have looked into so far has him specifically hunting alone and his rules say that he can outflank with a unit of Fenrisian Wolves. The combination of fluff and rules points to that being his standard operating procedure, not joining up with another GH unit. The second tier of my FOC has three WGBL as once again it is said that Bran relies heavily on WGBL to carry out his plans of attack when he heads off to hunt on his own. With this in mind, I thought of having one that would be equipped to join a unit of GH, one equipped to join a unit of TWC, and one equipped either for BC or Swift Claws. Thoughts on this?

Grimtooth Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 So skipping over elites for right now and going right into troops: 6 - Grey Hunter Pack x10 1 - Bloodclaw Pack x15 Bran's GC is pretty big on GH packs so I went with the full 6 choices of them and a full Bloodclaw pack that would be the feeder pack for the GH packs. I like to think that as casualties are taken in the GH packs, Bloodclaws that have been writing their own worthy sagas are elevated. This also allows my WGBL in power armor a chance to join the Blood Claws when he feels like he wants to be around the youngins once in a while.

I see no problem with Morkai's force organization chart as it remains true to exactly what has been said about him for a very long time. I like how his WG consist of obviously Wolf Scouts ans well as power armored WG. I have to agree with mactire in part here. Morkai favoring Scouts is fine, but only having one Grey Hunter pack is just plain silly imo. They're supposed to make up "the main body of every Great Company", so only one pack doesn't make sense. Also according to this page, Morkai's company has twice as many men in elite units with selection requirements (Scouts, TWC, WG) than troops. Also, why no Long Fangs? Where's the rest of the company armoury? One Speeder, one pod, some bikes and one Thunderhawk isn't an entire company's worth of materiel. To my mind it's also too small, barely bigger than a codex company. While I get the 'certain moment in time' point, I don't really like it. This is now an example for what a Wolf Great Company is, and I don't think it holds with the previously established fluff. For some context, I've been slowly building up my company (Stormwolf's) for goodly while, I currently have 86 Grey Hunters alone. A great Company should be at least 150 infantry strong plus copious vehicle support imo.

Aenar Deathclaws Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 In the Doom of Mymeara, we learn that the Bran Redmaw's Great Company has 200 members so I would say : Bran Wolf Guard Skallagrim of the Blackbrow At least six wolfguards from Montberg 2 packs of 10 Scouts 9 packs of 10 Grey hunters 2 packs of 15 Blood Claws 1 Pack of 10 Skyclaws 1 Pack of 10 Swiftclaws 4 packs of 6 Long Fangs 1 Venerable Dreadnought 4 Dreadnoughts 6 Land Raiders of all patterns After, it's up to you Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288651-bran-redmaw-gc/#findComment-3641266 Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeletoro Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 My redmaw great currently so far has, in the pipeline/planned: Bran Thunderlord (will obviously be a WGBL, fluff wise) Some seconded rune priests/wolf priest Wolf guard: 5 in power armour and 10 in TDA, dedicated LRC 9 thunder wolf cavalry 5 wolf scouts - if they become more effective in the next coded I will definitely be getting several squads. 6 grey hunters packs, 2 of which will be modelled similarly to recon marines (hoping they will release Mk6 recons) 1 blood claws pack 5 fenrisian wolves models (will eventually round out to a whole unit or even get lots for the apoc formation, but depends on who bran will outflank with as there seems to be a RAI/RAW conflict regarding whether he has to outflank with fenrisian wolves) 1 long fangs pack (maybe another, magnetized, eventually with rapier weapons platforms as they look awesome and are a bargain, points wise. But holding back because of price and because its not bran enough) Dedicated rhinos/razorback for every squad apart from the wolf guard. 1 land raider Proteus 1 fire raptor Eventually I plan on adding another Proteus and raptor, as well as possibly adding a Prometheus and another crusader. And maybe 1-2 javelin attack speeders. I may add swiftclaws eventually too. But I have so much waiting assembly that I will wait for hh4 and the codex before buying more models. I also am waiting for legion Mk vi everything....!!!! And obviously if they release some sort of wulfen packs, I might have my work cut out for me (unless they're 13th company only?) I am also kinda worried that I have too many wolf guard. 15 plus 9 TWC (which are also wolf guard) and a WGBL... that's 25!! I am thinking I might need to include a contingent from Logan Grammar or Krom Dragongaze to justify having so many...?
