recon0321 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Shield brothers I come seeking knowledge...I want to start a SW army based around the first battle of the fang...does the fluff for the new flyer and hell frost weapons support this? Or we're these newer additions to the SW arsenal? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/295014-hell-frost-weapon-fluff/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasper_Hawser Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Hellfrost weapons are new weapons to the Space Wolves, though I'm not sure about in fluff. There isn't any mention where the technology was founded, just that it uses crystals that can only be found deep within Asaheim. It might just be the only new piece of technology the Iron Priests ever invented for the wolves armoury between the Heresy and current 40K. For safer bet, don't use them at all, either helfrost or stormwolf/fangs. The shield wielding dreadnoughts on the other hand, I don't think there's a reason for the Space Wolves NOT to have them, considering stormshield technology has been around for some time, so arguably could have been used at the Battle of the fang.

Inquisitor Kravin Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 It depends how much of a purist you want to be but I would say go for it. Generally these additions, once made, are retconned to have always been, e.g. Sternguard and Vanguard marines.

Wispy Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Those weapons have been retconned in. Same with the flyers. "What are you talking about? We've always had them!"
