I’ll be honest. It’s not the Grimnar and Guilliman conversation I want to see, it’s the Bjorne and Guilliman one. The only loyalists to know actually what Russ was like, not just the stories of him.
Too true. The OG Astartes remember!!!
Tbf grimnar has more Balls than Russ or Bjorn ever had. Cutting a GK Captain in half, giving the inquisition headache for years etc. Dude's crazy af. Grimnar is the type of individual, Guilliman should talk to and maybe, just maybe, could get along with.
@@churchofnope not denying Grimnar is a badass. I just think there could be some absolute gold between Guilliman and Bjorne. Kinda like two elderly people going “back in my day...”
@@harrylane7817 grimnar should be put in a Leviathan dreadnought AND a new chapter master chosen.
@@Dreadbringer If that happens I hope it’s Blackmane who gets the job.
Guilliman speaking to Grimnar? I want to see him talk to Bjorn.
...That would be very interesting.
Guilliman : You are taller than I remember, Bjorn.
Bjorn: And you are just as ugly
Guilliman would just take some dog treats for him
That would be nice, but what i really want Is the return of the Wolf & the Lion.
@@zarektheinsane6656 Hahaha!
dont forget, that a big reason why the wolfs never made another successor chapter, was Magnus's first great attack on fenris, that succeeded in destroying their hope for a purified geneseed.
Battle of the Fang in the space marine battle books iirc.
Deserved, all is dust.
@@jimminey-fooking-cricket4903 Yes, thanks for the fodnote/reference.
That's what they get for being hypocrites.
@@commanderfarsight2351 that's a strange way to spell loyal
A Primaris werewolf in terminator armour becoming a Wulfen...
Even kharn should be scared.
A primaris with terminator armour would be cool, but gravis will have to do haha
@@Or_Am_I_Alpharius wacale i hate gravis way More than erebus and bugs.
nah he's got his plot armour he'll be fine
I like kharn loyalty to His father but a khorne berserker surviving for so long Is such BS Man. Its like the Astartes versión of sly marbo.
Ugh furries.....
How about the "Wolflords of Rho" as a chapter name?
Rho could be some frozen Scandinavian planet or whatever.
Would be dope if someone at GW made small lore chapters referencing big 40k channels!
Mmm not every dog can be alpha cousin, equally not every spacewolf can be a wolflord, only those who lead the great companys.
Wolves of Rho then...
@@Dreadbringer that never stopped the “Night Lords” lol
@@edenromanov in doing what?
Gotta call the new chapter Corgi Claws, the Corgomancer has seen it written in the future.
Call in the corgi-nators!
I want to see that!!
Ah the Corgi fangs jajajajaja
I hope there are multiple....the pug posse can give them corgi claws some competition.
I'm trying not to cry about tts.......why is this the top comment.....
Should call the new chapter the StarFoxes. Their war cry, “Do a barrel roll!”
Amazing!!!
Boooooooooooooooooooooooo
Something tells me the lack of successor chapters of wolves is Magnus' final middle finger to Russ.
It makes ZERO sense why Magnus would work to ensure the Primaris would happen(protecting the remnants of the shattered legions so they could secure and protect and hide the Magna Mater (Sangprimus Portum), but actively work to prevent the Tempering of the Space Wolves (which was essentially the same thing minus the upgrades, aka whitewashing the Space Wolves to enable successor chapters)
It makes no sense. Huge plot hole. The only thing I can figure is that Magnus was ensuring the Primaris existed because SPOILERS FOR FURY OF MAGNUS!!!!!
During the siege he planned to find his missing shard, then use his fleets he sent away prior to Prospero to defeat whichever side came out on top and take his place as leader of humanity.
So all his attempts at ensuring the Primaris would exist in the future were done with this in mind, that he would be leading the Imperium and would need the Primaris in the future. When that didn't happen, his priorities changed.
@@standarddeviation7963 how the fuck did he know about the Primaris?
@@flameknightplayz2939 We don't know what he knew or what his intentions were, we just know he or one of his shards helped Vulkan and the Shattered Legions navigate through the warp to reach Terra and he parked his flagship between the Shattered Legions ship and some Black Legion/World Eaters (can't remember which) cruisers which were gonna atomize them.
He kept helping the shattered legions in their final mission, so we must assume he saw the future and knew about the Primaris. Perhaps he hoped to use the tech in the future to save his legion? We don't know exactly.
@@flameknightplayz2939 he's a potent psycher who could foresee future events. An example of this is he for told of Horus's betrayal and tried to stop it but got screwed in the end.
@@standarddeviation7963 magnus the loyalist... Sort of
The Flesh Terriers, because everyone loves a Yorkie!

@@RevRaptor898 why are you introducing the ultramarines here?
@@alberto5770 because that's what Drama Daemons do....It's in their nature.
We need more Sons of Russ. The Space Wolves Legion have been hit real hard
This is coming from a Son of the Lion
@@emerson21962 We all know deep down, the Dark Angels and Space Wolves care about each other.
I still don't know why neither Leman or The Lion didn't tell their sons that they buried the hatchet.
There was supposed to be a pre primaris version of the Space Wolves that would allow for successors, but Magnus used the Wolf Brothers and himself as bait to draw the majority of the Space Wolves into the Eye and laid siege to Fenris in order to kill the Apothecary responsible and destroy all his work and records.
@@emerson21962 i Salute you my battle brother AND i agree(son of the Lion too).
@@randomcenturion7264 the ancient Lion & Wolf sons know they are Best of friends my battle brother, though that doesnt take the rivalry to be the Best we also remember the hatred of the emperor of religions, exterminators and executioners we aré AND i am proud of both lineages, but we really need back our genesires.
I imagine nothing will be as difficult as the Space Wolves being on the same planet as the Grey Knights or Inquisition....
The curse is still a thing in the Primaris, it has already been touched upon in the previous Spacewolves codex. Most notably the Inceptors.
Good, get them all infected with it, purge them and the rest of the primaris, done :)
An Idea for your own successor Chapter " Sages of the Storm" lead by unique space wolf Chaplins, the chapter has a keen focus on recording and reciting the sagas of the past to ensure the Wolf King is not forgotten. I always found it weird that Space wolves didn't have unique chaplains similar to their Librarians. Clad with wolf skull helmets and the sagas of their kin at heart.
Wolfpriests are exactly that.
@@scelestus2717 Didn’t realize they were a thing; that’s perfect though.
A recent White Dwarf had another Primaris-only successor chapter, The Wolfspear, as well as rules for them.
The Wolfspear were also in the new Codex supplement but for some reason, they have a different colour scheme to what was previously shown.
Listening to dark imperium rn their name came up
I think the space wolves successors could withstand the genetic flaws of the past. The blood angels problem isn't just genetic, it's psychological. The double handicap of mind and body was too much for even the primaris.
The Red Thirst is Genetic and the Black Rage is baked into their geneseed because iirc the Blood Angel stores were destroyed during the Heresy and they had to use seed produced by those that were now exposed to the Rage.
As a Space Wolf player... how have I not found your channel until just now?
The Slayer himself has seen the Primaris do a semi shift to Wolfen and then come back to their sences and let them be. For Ulrik to let any wolf bitten go, even a Primaris, says alot for the ability to control the Curse.
So I came to realized original Wolfspear in novel basically gatekeeper just like Wolf Brother.
Well played.
Could you imagine Guilliman, Russ, and Johnson all leading the imperium?
Honestly as much as I like the idea of successor Space Wolf chapters I hate the fact that they are made almost entirely of Primaris... I would also love seeing some successors to demand being assimilated by Space Wolves instead of being successors. I would also love seeing Grimnar talk with Roboute Guilliman and what's more seeing Ultramarines Primarch speak with Bjorn the Fell-Handed and remembering Bjorn when he was still not in Dreadnought form! It would be such nice touch for Bjorn fans.
Their new codex mentions that when the Space Wolf Primaris chapters arrived on Fenris, the Space Wolves sent some of their own Firstborn to join the new chapter. So unlike other Ultima Founding chapters, the Space Wolf successors have both Firstborn and Primaris.
Chapter successor name: Fangs of Fenris, Ice wolves, Krakens bite. Any other ideas I ran out.
If the Inquisition and Space Wolves do go into conflict again, it'd be interesting to see how Guilliman reacts. Especially if he ever finds out about the Months of Shame.
I thought the Salamanders didn’t have successors either. I thought it was down to both legions being to nice to everyday people :p
New codex introduced four new Primaris Salamander successors.
@@jaredwasserman1092 Supposed Salamander Successors, the covenant of fire could be Word bearer gene stock [Sons of Phoenix as being the obvious earlier traitor genestock]
@@nonya1366 Not touching that. Sons of the Phoenix are listed Imperial Fists. Every other "assumed traitor" chapter has a missing or redacted progenitor. Everything else about them has no reason not to be coincidence.
@@jaredwasserman1092 Come now, Cawl himself asked Gulliman to use the Traitorious geneseed- And gulliman, rightly so, presumed that Cawl did so regardless. Who else could doctor the genetic lineage of a chapter other then Cawl? Further, Cawl specifically has what is basically a pet chapter as well from the salamander stock, with the Black Vipers.
@@nonya1366 Cawl Inferior. Cawl himself is unaware. And no, I'm not going to take what is a massive red herring as fact. The existence of traitor geneseed Primaris chapters, fine. But specifically the ones that appear to be screaming it so loud that it's laughable? Absolutely not. Total coincidence pulled from their homeworld culture.
Two things,
Wolfspears made it to the Codex, Page 15.
I would like to see Bjorn talk to Gilliman, Gilliman is always talking about having no one from his time.
Bjorn and Dante talking with Guilliman would be cool
Id love if Bootyman would be like ''I seen you before''
@@Askethanoras Or the question were is Russ, to see how that would trigger Bjorn ;)
Now we just need haegr the great running around with a bucket on his foot ,BOASTING.
legends are made of this xD
While he brandishes a turkey leg to bludgeon his enemies with.
You made my tear up again- damn you.
This makes me both sad, and deniably happy at the same time....
Take each great company and split them off into chapter sized formations. Name them after their Wolf Lords. Iron wolves, Death wolves, Sons of Morkai etc.
Wolf Brothers
The Wild Hunt
Vagarian Guard (historical reference)
Alpha Wolves/Canis Primus
We are the Rout! We have come for you! I just love your videos and the ones about the wolves especially.
This video made my day. Thank you, from a Raven Guard and Space Wolves Astartes player.
Guilliman see the inquisition as threat, and if wolves went to war with the inquisition Guilliman would side with wolves.
You're absolutely right my man He would side with the Wolves and so would all of the Ultramarines and all their successors chapter's
And then the Lion and His sons would side with them too, i just cant wait for that my cousins.
most (if not all) all the 1st and 2nd founding (the ones who were founded by people who actually heard the emperors and their primarchs words and orders) would side with the wolves then the vast majority of their successors would follow their example, as would many/most of the major worlds of the imperium and their imperial guard who have long histories with their neighbouring chapters. The custodian guard would probably side with the wolves (not sure if they would actually join the fight or just give vocal/private support). The mechannicus would probably join the marines. The eccleisiarchy and the sororitas would probably side with the inquisition or stay neutral. The assasinorum would probably serve both sides. The navy would largely side with the marines due to a long history of fighting side by side. The war would be short and very bloody (for the inquisition).
@@jimsparro though at the end the question Is in 41k does the Emperor want this religión?(for ascensión purposes) or Is he an unwilling deity that still doesnt want to be worshipped and just goes along couse he doesnt have a choice? We need More primarchs returning and interacting with the Emperor.
The Blood Wolves. Black and Crimson with Silver trim. A Red Full Moon dripping blood in a black background. Just a thought.
Very cool! Space Wolf + Blood Angel = badass Marines !
Yes just Yes
You mean a chimeric chapter? Would be kinda nice. A wulfen with wings? Maybe that would be way too much
@@Dreadbringer A wulfen with wings and the Black Rage. Imagine something like Murderfang getting a shot of that on top of everything else.
Never mind wardens. They will be the executioners of Chaos and heretics. The Space Wolves.
As an Ultramarine. I look forward to seeing that day.
The storyline ideas for 40K are endless, really. And I'm especially liking these newer novels about massive, sweeping, galactic events
The music, the visuals, the narretive. You did another bannger sir.
Frost Wardens, Ice blue coloured armoured with grey/black trim, takes heed of Logan but also acts as the guards of the great rift since you were mentioning it a lot and I like the idea
Remember to like and comment to appease the almighty algorithm 👍🏼
Sucuygar vod
This Is the way.
Hopefully the sons of Russ will eradicate the heretical inquisition
If I had to guess, I'd say the wolf brothers upon being founded, were given their own recruiting world. As the original members fell, they were replaced with non-Fenrisian recruits, who couldn't handle Russ' geneseed.
Because something something wolfplanet something.
The wolf will wolf during the wolf time to prevent the wolf from wolfing.
Well, the short answer is:
When you have a population of wolves, since there is no wolves on Fenris, they don't mesh well.
The long answer is the original settlers of fenris got Genetic enhancements for the planet, then degraded into actual wolves.
Their genetics then intermingled with the second wave of colonists, and that's what the space wolves draw from, and what Russ tailored the geneseed too.
Now re-read the third line. There is no wolves on Fenris.
I would be more interested in a conversation between Guilliman and Bjorn the Fell Handed.
Papa Smurf says "I do what I want!" And the tin can says " growly growl growl your an idiot".
How about the Skalds of Russ.. Lore seekers and keepers of the sacred sagas.
Nice
Liked and subscribed! never played warhammer before but i got my recruit edition and the wolfspear issue of white dwarf and took the introduction of a new chapter as the opportunity to jump into the game! kitbashing my ass off thanks for the lore im trying my best to be cannon
At first I agreed with you, Space Wolves being the only Sons of Russ around made them unique and special, but thinking of the possibilities of creating my own chapter with Space Wolves as their premogenitors is epic!!!! And I love the idea of wolves guarding the borders of the maelstrom and eye of terror as shown was the plan in “Battle of the Fang” where the space wolves were making there own primaris marines until Magnus invaded to stop it. I will say though I would be more interested in a conversation between Bjorn and Guilliman than Logan, Guilliman more than likely remembers and met Bjorn possibly even still knowing him after Bjorn was named Great Wolf! That would be something I would love to read! On a side note I would love for you to continue on your thread from Primarch Battle Royale of how you believe Russ would kill each brother! Really showcase how the savage brute was a part he played and the noble warrior was lurking underneath. He was very
Conan-eque in that way. A brutal combatant but one who could analyze his opponent and use their strengths against them in myriad ways. Thanks for the videos, keep em coming and All Hail Russ and the Allfather!!!!
At last, the Sons of Russ may expand. Chaos and Xenos scum better watch their backs. For The Emperor's Executioners are returning to strength once more.
Wolf LOVE UR CONTENT. Guys like this up seriously. Could we get a video by you on the Conversation between Emperor and Malcador on the civil war the already suspected would happen at end of crusade? They already planned to end half of the Primarchs and their armies. They jus didnt count on Chaos joining in. So How about a would if VIDEO on which Legions would've been culled at the end of the crusade and how it might've been done? NO ONE HAS THIS VIDEO ON CZcams YET. PLEASE BE FIRST!
The Wolf Brothers were not the only attempt by the Space Wolves to have successor chapters. In the Space Marine Battles Novel "The Battle of the Fang", the chief wolf priest of the chapter (part chaplain and part apothecary) was working on a project called "The Tempering" which was meant to stabilize and enhance the gene-seed of the Space Wolves much in a similar way Corax did with the Raptor project. This would have allowed for the Space Wolves to continue to Sons of Russ idea, and would have given rise to a whole new breed of Space Wolves much like the Raven Guard had with the Raptors for a brief amount of time. The Tempering was actually completed during the actual Battle of the Fang, but the Wolf Priest's laboratory in the Fang's Apothecarion was found and destroyed by Magnus the Red, and the Wolf Priest died trying to fight Magnus in melee combat. I personally see projects like this and the Raptor project, and I have to question why people were so against the coming of the Primaris Marines. The work was already being done thousands of years before Cawl, and Cawl has the engrammatic memories of some of the very first gene-wrights who helped the Emperor perfect the original Legiones Astartes in his mind. Now, the Tempering is complete, the Sons of Russ stand ready, and the Aether itself will tremble as their howls join their brothers on the hunt. For Russ and the Allfather! Hjolda!
That would be a great story, and I'd love to see Guilliman help the Space Wolves.
A meeting between Guilliman and Grimnar ? That's funny, I thought about that the day before the video :P
I'm with you on wanting to see the Wolves and the Inquisition go at it.
Now the Space Corgi chapter can be a real thing. Like the Emperor decreed. With Corgomencers, Corgilords, Corgiriders etc!
If you remember at the start of Dark Imperium a Space Wolves succesor was garissoned at the last planet the crusade conquered. I don't remember where it was but it could have been close to the big rift. So Gulliman could already be enacting the Sons of Russ plan.
Love the videos
Just starting my Wolfspear army 🤘
I was a little sceptical of how they would deal with the introduction of primaris to Space Wolves. I was in the camp, that lore wise it didn't really make sense and that it was turning all chapters into carbon copies in different colours. Having listened to wolftime though I feel they handled it pretty well. After gathering Storm, they were in a bit of a weird place, they still are really. Just seems to be on pause just now after Ragnar jumping the rubicon. I think it would have been more interesting if there had been more resistance from them. I think the 40k universe needed that objective opinion lore wise and the wolfs were set up perfectly to be that voice. I think gw might have missed the boat on that. I guess it just really depends on the big revel coming in Pandemonium. Great video as always!
For Russ and The Allfather!
It has already started. Guilliman left a new Space Wolf brother hood on a planet during his Crusade. Its in one of those books about the Armor of Fate, don't have it in hand rn.
The Ghosts of Fenris. Awesome chapter name.
I think Cawl should focus on making the Wulfen more intelligent, that way they are able to control themselves and become a new company within the Space wolf legion.
Would be neat to see some Terran style wolves, like we do with Terran Russ in wolfspear
I have my own Succsessor Chapter for the sons of Russ.
The Wolve Knights planned as a chapter using their Armour but was no Succsessor of them.
Now they are Part of The Line of Russ and i love it because i can now use everything what the Space wolves had in their Codex.
Big fan of Russ.
I am from Germany i understand english better than i can speak or write it.
I'm personally glad. I've always wanted to expand on Norse mythology in 40k with a Space Wolf successor chapter. My working plan is a Raven Guard like Space Wolves successor based on Odin's ravens, Huginn and Muninn. The other idea is a successor chapter based on the Silent God of Vengeance, Vidarr. The home planet would be inhabited by refugees from Midgardia following its destruction. The Chapter would swear an oath of silence and vengeance against the Thousand Sons in particular and lead raids into the Great Rift to retaliate.
I love the wolves getting successors. They have hung by a thread for so long and i want it to become a rope that hangs traitors, but i can understand why some are upset.
How about the 'Iron Fangs' chapter? Maybe black, bone and gunmetal for colours. Pack markings could add some splashes of colour to individuals.
As I paint my own space puppies minis now, I like the idea of their successors. Although I was against initially, I do not choose official chapters because I feel pressed by their standarization (heck, even my GKs have different colour scheme). "Sons of Hel" is the name of my SW successor chapter, I have an entry in the fanwiki too.
They did talk about the Dark Spears successors which sound awesome wish they would have gone more in depth such as giving them a slightly different chapter tactic such as with Black Templars or Flesh Tearers. The description and color scheme is awesome for them though. My I’d go with something like the Shadow Fangs and have them from a home world that has perpetual darkness and wolves of their own making them have an interesting Fenrosian feel all their own.
The idea of the new Space Wolf Successors being utilized to contain the warp does seem to have some lore behind it. The Wolfspear chapter is currently stationed to guard the Pit of Raukos, a warp storm on the other side of the great rift from the eye of terror.
I want to see wulfen primaris, imagine how awesome they would be.
This seems like it's going to be interesting... :)
I Am excited about it. But I am.keeping my great company, but adjusting it. I am incorporating a unit of each known successor chapter into the Great company as part of its structure to teach them the ways of Russ. Epically since they will not be the Jailers of the Damned but Gaolers of the Damned also they are need to guard Guillman
And if you think about it, The Vylka Fenrika has fought 2 entire legions to a complete and total standstill, The World Eaters and the Sons of Horus. There is no other legion that can say that.
As a son of sanguinius, may the new sons of Russ be as great as their predecessors!
If there was any sign of mutations, Vlka Fenryka would probably do the purging themselves even if it was at high cost.
Yay new vid:)
Even though I am a follower of Rogal Dorn and the Lord of Iron, Perturabo, I would love to see extended stories of these new arrivals, these new sons of Russ, I can even picture it in my head.
Companies of the Vlka Fenryka are engaged in fierce combat against a horde of daemons and traitor marines, when from the sky comes gunships roaring upon the scene, bearing the marks of wolves themselves, but entirely different colors. After a fuselage of fire from the gunships, they touch down just barely enough for the brothers of the Vlka Fenryka to storm down their ramps, their chapter master himself leading the charge with a double headed battle axe in his hand, being followed by his brothers who are garbed in the Primaris pattern armor, but they are sons of Russ all the same.
"For the glory of the Wolf King and the All-Father, we shall know no fear!!"
The chapter master roars to his fellow brothers as they charge forward into the fray, bolter weapons chattering and melee weapons at the ready. On this day, they would prove themselves to be sons of Russ and fight alongside their brothers of the Vlka Fenryka. From this day until the end of time, they are the Sons of Leman Russ and they shall know no fear.
I want to read a deathwatch book that has the Black dragons and raven gard send in veterans for recruitment. Having a salamander apothecary, a son of Russ an Iron Father and a son of the angel. I feel there would be great storytelling in the black dragon joining and the secrets of his gene seed and traditions and being a salamander seeing the split in the gene and flaws deep in his own genome and how he would fit in with all his cousins and story's in between them all, but the story's of unique battles of the drop site massacre, not necessarily personal story's but story's of recruits hearings stories of their veteran battle brothers that were passed down the generations
I already have mine...the Avenging wolves. A blue and gold space wolves successors chapter that specialises in being the emperor's executioners once more, decending on succesonit world's with ferocity unmatched, chains to remind them of whom hold the leash, to not be butchers but executioners. Still ironing out the kinks but it's on the way to say the least.
This line “The space wolves would use the Primaris their own way” to paraphrase makes me wonder if units like Blood Claws and Sky claws could be made up of Primaris doing the same roles as melee troops rather then the wolves using the roles they’d have in Ultramarines.
Honestly the only reason I wonder is because I wanna do an animation with those Primaris action figures and make them space wolves but been trying to figure out if those “roles” units like the Blood Claws are a first born marine only unit. Also I wonder if the Primaris gene seed is saved for only marines shipped from Mars or can actual Fenrisans can be implanted with Primaris gene seed if available?
All hail the mighty algorithm! Praise be to it, and the emperor!
Since you're such an accomplished storyteller, You should name a chapter the Skald Wolves, Skalds being the Norse equivalent of bards.
Colour scheme wise I'd say a warm pallette to contrast the cool of the Space Wolves, with warm oranges and bronze, to evoke the warmth of the hearth and drinking halls the Skald Wolves weave their tales by and tell great Sagas in.
We need either a Leman Russ week or a week dedicated to the Rout
Aka the Soace Wolves
Would be neat if someone made a primaris chapter that was all about that Viking ascetic, like really lean into it, like they become near piratical raiders just tooling around the eye of terror and messing up any traitors they find and recruiting from penal worlds and stuff like that.
My personal hope for the Wolves and the successors is as follows:
1. Due to the SW chapter being decimated by Magnus/TKson and down to like 300 Marines, the original 12(13?) great companies are almost in name only. With the induction of the Primaris and new successors, perhaps the concept of the Great Companies can be expanded. Each successor is no longer a "successor" but is counted as part of a great company. Still operating independent, but also having a representative at the Great Wolf's council table on Fenris. (Original SW's can probably still have great companies of their own, but I feel the successors having a stake in being a part of the Fang's culture is important)
2. I hope SW's get special rules and models that attempt to non-standardize the SW Primaris units. Something akin to how our Blood Claws, SW Scouts, Grey Hunters, and even Long Fangs operate differently and have different rule sets from standard marines. We might even need to see some Primaris Wolf Riders. Basically, we need SW Primaris to abandon Cawl's template for them, and adapt to Fenrisian style combat doctrines/culture.
3. Lore Updates on Russ's coming and goings. Old lore stated he was looking to find the tree of life to heal the Emperor (my theory is he was attempting to free Isha from Nurgle's mansion, since she is the Eldar goddess of Life, and "Tree of Life" might just be a metaphor describing her). Other theories are that he is currently stuck in the Labyrinth of Tzeentch. since Magnus knows of his current whereabouts and knows Russ is not having a good time of it (Perhaps having to learn Sorcery himself.) Further speculation suggest Russ has made a pact with Khorne against Tzeentch, which is doubtful, but would give weight to a terrible sense of foreboding, after Khorne's humorous reaction to Magnus being bitch smacked by the Axe Morkai wielded by Logan Grimnar. What does Khorne know that we don't? Or was he just having a taking the piss out of Tzeentch?
4. More stories like from 13 Black Crusade codex where Wulfen act like horror movie monster werewolves hunting down Chaos, and Chaos Marines being terrified of them.
5. Wolf Lord Rho's Successor chapter to be included in the lore.
Frost wolves, rift wolves, the wolves of Russ. Only names I can think of for now.
How I wish they would make a storyline of how they Found Leman Russ.
Well i call my successors White Wolves (from a certain rpg line) and have great companies named after the Garou tribes. Loving StarWars also their main paintscheme was easily found. Now its just reworking how many firstborn kits i still want to expand to, as i do want a good bit to be primaris as well.
It is not necessarily an error it can be 2 different things, Robute sends the envoy with the primaris first and then later visits the Wolfs himself to alleviate any misgivings after all Russ did reejct the codex ... so I could see Guilliman traveling to Fenris later himself ...
but its a small thing to me really
So many cool wolf or dog related chapter names! Yeah new space wolves!
I’m a son of dorn so take it with a pinch of salt.
The Wolf Spears were discussed in.a sidebar in the new Space Wolves Codex Supplemental.
So its my understanding that the space wolves have sort of a defense against the warp. In that exposure to it causes them to mutate into wulfen as for where I got that idea I dont remember but it would make sense as to why the one original successor they had became wulfen.
ugh. the rout doesnt need successor chapters! because the space wolves never broke apart, all they need is re enforcement
The thing is the Emperor never intended Successor Chapters and i for myself believe the red thirst and the Wulfen were safety mechanism´s against the Chaos, he knew that he could not prevent the influence of chaos on his warriors so he would use a controlled mutation to soften the impact, it makes sense if you ask me, he had a special roll for them in mind maybe something like fighting chaos in their own domain.
Emperor bless you Rho
Perhaps by Garrisoning them long-term near the Eye and such great Warp energy, their natural "ward against Chaos & Warp Energy" wasn't strong enough to protect them against such long-term exposure...
and that's why they started having mutations. That their natural protection against Chaos Energies is only for short term exposure
Slightly off topic, but when are the psychic awakening books going to be available on audible. I would really like to read them before the scouring.
They have already started guarding parts of the rift, like the pit of raukus being watched over by the wolf spears
Are Wolfspear not mentioned in the Space Wolves codex?
WE NEED MORE SPACE WOLVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The White Fangs space marine chapter. A reference to a famous novel starring a wolfdog.
Can't remember where I read it but when the space wolf legion started recruiting from fenris, they gene seed somehow changed & bonded with the local genes (there are no wolves here 😏)
So when they made a new chapter, the gene seed couldn't work right with the new world. But with the primas, their gene seed might be from old stock from before the legion found Russ, which explains why they seem to be stable..... for now.
Wolfspears had a snippet and a description of some chapters evem one that rejects the Fenrisian traditions
What! No mention of the Wolfspears Primaris Chapter? They’re in the W40K Wiki so they’re good as canon.
