Frater Cornelius Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Don't know about SW specific, but Freeblades can align themselves with whoever they please.

Hear da Lamentation Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 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 :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297693-knights-and-wolves/#findComment-3827563 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jochteas Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 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. (again from his thread) "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.

Frater Cornelius Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Good stuff. This again proves why Space Wolves are the manliest Marines around! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297693-knights-and-wolves/#findComment-3827635 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Priest Jbickb Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 That's pretty good stuff thanks. Is bells arias also a knight house? I always thought they were just warp navigators Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297693-knights-and-wolves/#findComment-3827663 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jochteas Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 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.

Leif Bearclaw Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 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.

SFCMac Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 There is a blurb of fluff in the codex about a knight from House Hawkshroud becoming Oathsworn after being saved by Krom Dragongaze. Right hand side of P. 29. Oathsworn Knights of House Hawkshroud are similar to freeblades in the IK fluff.

Rune Priest Jbickb Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 The hawk shroud guy sounds fun as well thanks. I think that was also the one I was thinking of.

SFCMac Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 There is also a knight world "close" to Fenris named Argentor (map on pages 12-13). Haven't found any useful information on it however. Might be in the IK codex as a make your own knight house kind of thing.

Rune Priest Jbickb Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 Write your own fluff does have its merit, argentor sounds fun. Honestly after looking at all this, a free blade is most appealing for the freedom, but with all the options I just don't know anymore lol Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297693-knights-and-wolves/#findComment-3827824 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jochteas Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 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. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297693-knights-and-wolves/#findComment-3827839 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z00Z Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 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 :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297693-knights-and-wolves/#findComment-3828075 Share on other sites More sharing options...
