knights and wolves


Recommended Posts

IN the new codex there is a reference to some Knight pledging allegiance.  It is in the time line.  My memory works in an odd way.  No idea whereabouts in the timeline, but it is on the right side of the right hand page - about half way down :)

Taken from Vash113's thread found here: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/296779-space-wolves-a-comprehensive-history-bigger-than-ever/page-1?do=findComment&comment=3810257

 

"The Wolf Blade and House Belisarius"

 

 

"The Space Wolves maintain a firm alliance with the Navigator House Bellisarius that predates the foundation of the Imperium. House Bellisarius provides the Space Wolves with 24 of their best Navigators in exchange for 24 Space Wolves known as the Wolf Blade, to serve as a bodyguard for House Bellisarius’ leadership. Assignment to the Wolf Blade is generally considered an exile of sorts, individuals whose quirks prevent them from properly integrating with the pack structure of the Chapter will most likely find themselves seconded to the Wolf Blade indefinitely. However a significant number of Space Wolf heroes and leaders have at one time or another been part of the Wolf Blade. Since House Bellisarius is an ancient and powerful Navigator house they maintain their headquarters on Terra, homeworld of mankind and seat of the Imperium's vast beurocracies. As such service in the Wolf Blade provides promising Space Wolves with invaluable experience into the politics of the Imperium. Some of the current heroes of the Chapter that have served in the Wolf Blade include Wolf Lord Ragnar Blackmane and the Great Wolf Logan Grimnar. "

 

Further more there is also this.

"The Knight World of Alaric Prime"

 

 

"In the aftermath of the Battle for Alaric Prime the Great Wolf Logan Grimnar knew the Ordo Malleus would come seeking to purge all witnesses to the daemonic incursion atop Scrap Peak, perhaps the Inquisition would even go so far as to annihilate the very world the Imperium had fought so hard to defend. Grimnar knew well the dangers of the warp and daemonkind but just like on Armageddon he would not allow the Inquisition to sacrifice the very people he and his battle-brothers had fought to protect. To protect the Knight World the Great Wolf declared Alaric Prime wargelt of the Space Wolves chapter, placing the planet under the chapter’s protection. To enforce this decree Grimnar left a permanent detachment of three chapter vessels and made sure the planet’s defenses wre prepared to blast any Inquisition vessel that tried to enter orbit without permission from the sky. Sure enough in the months that followed a vessel of the Ordo Malleus, loaded with cyclonic warheads and veiled from detection by all but the most sophisticated sensors an Inquisition vessel prepared to enter orbit and enact Exterminatus on the Knight World. The Space Wolf fleet intercepted and drove the ship from orbit, sending it fleeing back to Bakka. Despite this victory it is certain that the matter is far from settled and the fate of the redeployed Cadian survivors is still uncertain, most of them will surely perish at the hands of the Ordo Malleus purge teams but for now at least Alaric Prime still stands. "

That's pretty good stuff thanks. Is bells arias also a knight house? I always thought they were just warp navigators

I'm not a 100% sure, I know they are a noble navigator house of Terra. I assume that means they have some firepower, and Knight like units could be part of it, of course even if not, Alaric Prime has many knight houses to choose from (or make up I mean they don't detail them all). Also that noble navigator house could and has been used a contact by and for the space wolves so if you fluff wise say wanted a company to seek out or find or would look for a knight house that was willing to make a deal, that navigator house could probably find you a suitable venture.

That's pretty good stuff thanks. Is bells arias also a knight house? I always thought they were just warp navigators

No they're a Navigator House, so in theory their strength comprises their Navigators and sworn minions. However, Bellisarius are both as old as the Imperium, and extremely wealthy (the Ragnar books show us they own planets). Therefore it is entirely possible they'll have links with one or more Imperial (rather then Mechanicus) aligned Knight Houses as part of their influence web. But, just like the Wolfblade remaining Wolves while sworn into the Wolfblade, those Knights would still be members of their original House, rather than fully joining Bellisarius.

There is literally like millions of worlds. Which make it great fluff wise. Create your own planet and story about how your company saved the knight world or somehow incurred their debt to them, or maybe oath of honor, or somehow became BFFs and now the knights and that company have sweet 40k adventures together. Really you could design it anyway you want too.

I was considering adding a knight to the wolves army on the basis that they saved it from certain death in a battle, but the knights house still fell and the knight pledged its allegiance to the wolves...I want to paint the knight in the SW theme and 'wolf' it up a bit. I know this will probably be against the knight fluff, but will look like an awesome addition to my wolf army :)
