Although I need to admit, that's what I love with some of FW artworks. They sometimes take an armour or unit that you normally wouldn't take for that Legion, and do an awesome artwork with some extra fluff for it. Good example would be the SoH tartarus termi - love the "defender of the VS" fluff they did with him :)
I hope that it's not just Russ being released tomorrow... I hope space wolf players/collectors get their transfers as well. Let's let Space Wolves players start detailing their models!!!
It is what they have always been. The interwebs seem to focus solely on making them loyalist "world eaters". Ignoring half of what is written about them. Anyway minor gripe over , can't wait for this and inferno.
Couldn't agree more. Ah well, it was just me pondering; I'm not a fan of 40k SW because of their overuse of fetishes and the like, so I was hoping that the Vlka Fenryka are more... serious, I guess. :3
Currently their 30k vibe apparently is that of faceless killers. A group of warriors that will do anything to win. It is hinted that the VI Legion Legionaires from Terra were actually mindwiped to believe they were feral space vikings by the Emperor. Also they may have been mindwiped more than once or coded to believe certain things (think Winter Soldier or Mancurean Candidate). Soooo excited for Inferno!
I get you there. But I always felt they had that warrior kings feel to them. Noble but with a side of controlled fury. It's like when I read about Grimnar in the Black Library books. He's looks the part of a barbarian , but is so much more. Scholar, King , warrior , honorable beyond measure. But that's always been my opinion.
Would you be as kind as to provide me with a basic outline of the pre-heresy Space Wolves? I'm planning to start a VI Legion army now that Burning of Prospero is out, and fluff has always been a big thing for me when making armies. Thanks!
Hi Dan. Their organisation at this stage is really up in the air. Inferno should clear up any lingering queries. I will be posting more info on it as soon as I get my hands on the book.
I love the Rout. Can't wait til Saturday!
ReplyDeleteNo drooling allowed. ;)
DeleteAtleast we should get Russ' rules tomorrow ;)
DeleteAtia, I love you!!! <3
DeleteDrake, my sentiments exactly!
I sure hopes so Atia. Drake I couldn't agree more
DeleteCommand back - forgot they hit Russ out together with Prospero tomorrow :<
DeleteThe waiting for Saturday is killing me.
ReplyDeleteIn retrospect, it seems obvious why Forge World did art of the Rout in Tartaros terminator suits...
ReplyDeleteWell, all legions had access to all types of armour pattern (besides legion specific ones of course) =)
DeleteOh, naturally. Just if you want to inspire people to paint figures with your livery examples, go with the latest kit ;)
DeleteHaha yeah.

ReplyDeleteHi Keith, the transfers have been out quite a while now.
DeleteWhoops...
DeleteAND JUST REALIZED THAT THE KRIOS VENATOR IS BACK UP ON FW's WEBSITE!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnyone else think that FW are making the VI Legion seem more like disciplined tribesmen?
ReplyDeleteI think they are making them sci-fi vikings

ReplyDeleteSpecifically their organisation. Thanks, again.

DeleteThanks Drake! :) I look forward to your future posts.
