Leman Russ: The Great Wolf


Izlude

Recommended Posts

Unless I am wrong, which I can be from time to time, or it is another piece of SW lore which is to be ret-conned.

The governor laid a personal insult at Russ' feet, so Russ swore he would kill the governor of Dulan...

The SW & DA fight together. Jonson scouts the fortress and finds weaknesses, but Russ, angry, wants to flat out assault the place.

During the battle the DA decide to follow the Lion's plan, rather than e agreed joint plan and take the fortress.

Russ & the Wolves are left at the foot of the walls watching as the DA take the fortress and the Lion kills the governor.

Furthermore the Wolves flank is left exposed by the Lions abrupt change in plans and the Wolves suffer heavy casualties.

Enraged not only at the loss of his troops, but losing face because the Lion instead of the Wolf killed the governor, he strikes Jonson and then the brawl starts. Which is ended when Jonson knocks Russ out with a low blow.

Wow you really thought that out to make the Space Wolves look good in this instance... :)

I could potentially agree with you if it would be another author.

 

Haven't read all of Chris' Space Wolves stuff but what I've read so far indicates that he is not writing about them, because he has to.

Besides A D B he is the only author I believe that he is doing it because he wants to.

As I said in another thread, I'm enjoying his SW, IH, WS and DG stuff so far. Therefore I can't imagine hin to retcon them in a silly way.

 

This book will be great. No doubt. :)

Why...........

Primarchs........

Eyes........

 

 

Seriously, unless I am mistaken, None of the artwork is actually finalized, but if that is the case, why release any previews at all? If I were s Space Puppy (and I most certainly am not....) I would be very concerned by now. The artwork for Guilliman is clearly based upon his model by FW

If Space Puppys do not quite like the look of their Primarch in this art, beware, FW and these books seem to really work off eachother (I know my sample size is 1...but still) 

 

I'm getting to the point that I would almost rather have a novel about First Chapter Masters. The guys that lead the Legion before the Primarchs were discovered. We already know the broad strokes of each Primarch, why not something else, less beholden to the canon concerning Primarchs? 

 

(edit for addition re. CM's)

 

Dont worry its coming, In a serialized book of 326 chapters.

Buy 3 and get some wolf knives. Twice as long and  sharp as everyone elses.
