Kassill Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 With apologies to Clement Clarke Moore:Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the FangNot a Wolf Priest was stirring, Swift Claw or Long Fang.The tankards were hung in the Great Hall with care,In hopes that the Allfather soon would be there.The Blood Claws were nestled all snug in their beds,While visions of blood and guts danced in their heads.And Logan, the Greatwolf, an Axe in his lap,Had hung up his Bolter for a long winter’s nap.When out in the snow fields arose such a clatter,Defence Lasers swivelled preparing to splatter,Their targeting reticules trained on the sight,But quickly stood-down with a beep of delight.Out of the storm, stepped a shadowy figureAnd as humanoids go, I’ve not seen one bigger!Before him there strode two devilish beasts,Both clearly great wolves with sharp, pointy teeth.The wind whipped around him with hurricane force,But the giant strode on staying true to his course.He drew back his lips and spoke with a growl,"On Freki and Geri, to the drinking hall now."A climb to the gate was made in a triceOver rocky outcrops encrusted with ice.Russ stood at the door and bellowed a call,“The Lord has returned once again to his hall!”A single Blood Claw awoke from his slumber,And sought out a snack to stifle his hunger.On passing the hall he stopped with a gasp,Beholding a sight he barely could grasp.The Primarch spoke out to in a deep throaty roar,"Be at peace now my son, and don't stay by the door,Come join me in drink there's Ale and Mulled Wine,My stay here is short, it's not yet Wolf Time."He drank through the night recounting the Sagas,Thirstily downing both bitters and lagers.The Blood Claw sat opposite, silenced in aweAt the sight of the legend who'd walked through the door.As good as his word at the first light of Dawn,Russ gathered his Wolves and laid down his horn.But he turned back and called, 'fore he went out of sight,“Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!”It's that wonderful time of year, I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season with friends and family!

Jarl Kjaran Coldheart Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Seeing this return every Christmas reminds me this sub forum is a family, not a collection of strangers with similar hobby tastes. Happy Holidays to all, even the Dark Angels!

RikuEru Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Thank you! As others have said, i waited for this too. Nd it made me genuinely smile, like few things did the last two days. (Got a spinal tap right after midnight, early on the 24th... thanks me!) I hope everyone can enjoy a nice Christmas - and those that do not celebrate, atleast a few days off. I hope everyone is as healthy and well as can be, your families and friends are doing fine - everything else, like gifts and celebrations, maybe even a bit of Hobbytime, is just a bonus on top. Let's remember the Year, with all its ups and downs. We won some games and lost some others. We gained quite a few new hobbyists, too, who are now part of our familiar internet-tribe. Sadly, we lost some too, Brand being one of them - but as sad as that fact is, he and others are not forgotten among our crowd. Much like our fictional personas, we remember those we fought with or against in our sagas and deeds. (...and Brand brought so many of us Space Wolves and others in the Hobby together, that his Saga will be never forgotten. His legacy lives on, on the internet, among our armies and cosplays and even among the 8th Edition Codex and Vigilus fights - no matter how we will look back onto 8th Edition in hindsight, only for Brand Sabrewulf I will forever cherish these two books.) Now let us feast and relax and recuperate! 2019 awaits! And with it, the Campaign for Vigilus, new battles, new rules changes, new hobby projects, the next ETL and other challenges! And we will take all of that and everything our out-of-hobby-real-life can throw at us head-on! Fenrys Hjolda, brothers! (Someone drink a mjod for me, cause i am not allowed to at the moment...)
