Rest assured child, they're fully aware the events of the setting don't change (baring retcons, which to hate have fulfilled the saying of "the more things change, the more they stay the same" to the letter).

They probably came to this realisation sometime between the late 1980s and now, so I don't think I can hold it against you since you probably weren't born.

According to the 7th ED codex and the Ragnar Blackmane novel,

The Wolves are on Cadia by the end of the timeline leading the Imperial forces against Abaddon's 13 Black Crusade. Logan is the High Marshal of the Imperial forces of the Cadian Gate. Ragnar and Ulrik are on Cadia with him.

Also a small note, Cadia's surface has been lost.

>THE WARP

>They would have made him their master. Beastlord. Wolfheart. The Wild King. They would have crowned him with savagery and robed him with hunger. He refused. He was not like them. Not yet.

>That truth pained him, he could not deny it. There was something inside, something in all of them, that refused to ever be tamed. While the hearth-fires burned low it would rather be hunting in the snow, while weapons lay at rest it would rather sink fang and claw deep into preyflesh. Even some of those he had known the longest had succumbed to it. Scarpelt and Harok, Haghmund and Olfar. Long-fangs and grey-pelts all, given over to the Beast Within. They said the same thing, each one of them. The Wolftime was coming. Leadership was needed. Would he join them?

>That was not his way, he reminded himself over and over. There was savagery, yes, but it was cold, calculated, unleashed only when the moment was right. The savagery the others now possessed burned bright, was blind to reason. It was the hungry rage that flung the wolf into the huntsman’s trap.

>They were late. The warp was playing its usual tricks, seeking to confound and infuriate them. Fury made the Beast stronger. It made more of his warriors turn. They had been bound for the Fenris System for what felt like a lifetime. The other Great Companies were already there, already fighting, already dying, already writing their sagas on Midgardia, Svellgard and Frostheim. The thought pushed him even closer to the edge. He took a long, shuddering breath, trying to clear his head.

>Soon they would be home. Whether it would be as beasts or as men, he did not know. There was only one certainty. He would make all those who defiled Fenris pay.

The short story from the new Warzone Fenris series ends with a mysterious being who is in the Warp monologuing to himself (see above). Who is he?!

>"Where did the Space Wolves go?" you ask.
>About all those "Alpha Legion" marines Abaddon has working for him...
>That's right, the Wolves are in your Eye of Terror, killing your dudes.

Alpha Legion and Space Wolves really would be a bromance for the ages. Schemingest legion + unpredictablest and damn killy chapter.

That would explain why they turned the SW into the "wolfy wolf wolf", so that everyone started to think they were retarded
>>
>>46266269
The problem with that is that the only character that hasn't gotten a relatively recent update is Ragnar (who'se still stuck with an ancient model), and he's both mentioned to be alive in the fluff related to the 13th Black Crusade and the main character of a book series. I suppose they could kill Njall, Wolfius Wolfborn or that terminator upgrade dude with the boomerang thunderhammer, as while they got relatively new models they're in finecast instead of plastic.

That, or they just kill one of the "literally who?" tier Wold Lords who are mentioned in the chapter organization chart but completely unknown to anybody but the most harcore Space Wolf fans.
That's probably the best options. Wolf players will mourn the loss of the complex and highly important character of Engir Ironwulf (described in all of two sentences on one page of the codex), or whatever, while nobody else gives a damn and the status quo stays the same, aside from replacing one dude's name in the next reprint of the codex.

How does the 13th Black Crusade play out now given the new Wulfen changes? They started out as the lost company returned, using armour salvaged from Chaos marines and with only a minority of them giving in to the changes and warping out, and had something like three possible origins. Now they're something else entirely, with bike shorts, wifebeater vests and magic ice claws or something.

I think it applies to the whole chapter, not each marine individually. So it's 99.9% that the entire chapter is destroyed, and 0.1% that the chapter is not destroyed.


Even if it was applied to each marine separately, and we assume 1000 marines who are equally likely to survive, *on average* one or more marines would survive. That would mean a 50% chance for one or more marines to survive, and 50% chance for no marines to survive.
>>
>>46266647
>>46267111
Wolves actually have considerably more than 1000 marines. I don't remember the exact numbers, but they never really broke up their legion (aside from one successor chapter than turned into a huge failure because apparently SW geneseed is only compatible with people from Fenris). I think they have at least 10 000 marines.
>>
>>46248062

Frankly they killed off the imperial fists and almost killed off the blood Angels so I wouldn't put it past the space wolves getting destroyed and a new "space wolves" being made out of the 13th company or something

Terrible, terrible writing alongside the fact that the more stuff you pile on to something the more you reach the point where you just have to call bullshit. Less is sometimes more, even in 40k. In fact, a lot of GW's recent fluff makes the same mistake and piles on details to make it seem super cool without understanding why the thing was cool in the first place.

>Space Marine (who are a bit bullshit on their own, but can fit the background bullshit levels of the universe most of the time)
>Viking Space Marines.
>Viking Space Marine Werewolves
>Viking Space Marine Werewolves who are also surprisingly compassionate
--(the point where most people seem to draw the line)--
>Viking Space Marine Werewolves who are surprisingly compassionate despite also being the Emperor's executioners
>Viking Space Marine Werewolves who fight Chaos on a genetic level but who are surprisingly compassionate despite also being the Emperor's personal executioners
>Viking Space Marine Werewolves who fight Chaos on a genetic level but are also surprisingly compassionate despite also being the Emperor's personal executioners and unique magical ice as weapons
>Viking Space Marine Werewolves who fight Chaos on a genetic level but are also surprisingly compassionate despite also being the Emperor's personal executioners and unique magical ice as weapons that they give to their obviously mutated soldiers...

Do you see what I mean? Although you can argue where the point is, there is a point where it just becomes too much. Its like GW are writing shit fan-fiction of their own setting and crowbarring in their special snowflake OCs as the most supercool badasses evah.

Either the HH-era Wolves must've been an absolutely tiny legion or they've experience massive attrition between HH and 40k considering the average number of marines in a legion was 10 000 in the old fluff, and much higher in modern fluff, and the Wolves never really split up their legion.
>>
>>46268446
>absolutely tiny legion or they've experience massive attrition between HH and 40k
Both are true.
They had the second smallest legion after the Thousand Sons, and got decimated badly during the heresy (prospero, then got ambushed by the alphas, then got culled when they attempted to assault the vengeful spirit)
>>
>>46268438
Viking Space Marine Werewolves was OK when it was just the 13th company who had been lost in the Eye of Terror for ages, which had caused their geneseed to start mutating. Back then the rest of the SW were still Viking Marines with wolf-themed names for their units (grey hunter, long fangs, wolfguard etc.), instead of the modern SW who ride on giant wolves and wield wolfswords and wolfclaws (which are like regular power swords and lightning claws except better, because wolf).

Orks slaughter all but one marine, who forms the death watch.
Then he gets along with the remaining IF successor chapters and they enact the last wall protocol: if Terra itself is under attack the Imperial Fists legion is reformed.

>>46269115
small, but dangerous is the key word here.
Every other legion would pull out if casualties were too high or if victory seemed unreachable, but the space wolves would launch themselves again and again until either the target was dead or they were.
Plus, he never considered them the most dangerous, that was Guilliman and Ferrus

>‘I am clearing the board for the game to come,’ he said. ‘I am setting it out the way I want it. Two key obstacles to my ambitions are the Sons of Prospero and the Wolves of Fenris. The former is the only Legion that has lorecraft enough to hinder me magically; the latter is the only Legion dangerous enough to represent a genuine military threat. The Emperor’s sorcerers and the Emperor’s executioners. I have no wish to store up a fight with either for my future, so I have invested time and energy arranging events to turn them upon each other.’

Straight from Horus's mouth. He considered the Wolves the most dangerous.

Yeah, in conjunction with the IF, BA and IH.

There was one part, in "Guards! Guards!" I believe, where the characters take advantage that according to the rules of narrative causality if somebody mentions that a plan has one in a million chanse of succeeding, it's guaranteed to work.

It really fucking isn't. Marines at their core are supposed to be zealous warrior monks. When you have them whoring, feasting and fighting their own kind like berzerker savages they contradict that central theme. Unfortunately, in GW's bid to push marines on fucking EVERYONE there are now so many variants that they've watered down what a Marine is to the point of them being utterly bland supersoldiers with a random earth culture and snowflake geneseed mutation slapped on for good measure.

Actually the wulfen mutation is not chaos fuckery. It's a sort of allergic reaction caused by contact with the warp.
When a spess wulf gets touched by warp energy the helix kicks in as an immune reaction and mutates the marine into a wulfen, making him more resistant to chaos taint and further mutation

That's not how you spell thousand sons, dark angels, black templars, ultramarines, minotaurs, charcarodons, night lords or hammers of dorn
You fags are just angry because your edgy brooding fedora tipping selves can't stand the 40k version of football jocks with bombastic attitude like the ones that bullied you nerds in school

You don't hate space wolves per se, you hate them because they are goofy and aren't grimdark enough for your taste

I dunno, man. You just made me imagine the Iron Hands Chapter as a bunch of machine-loving weirdos on the spectrum and it makes me like them even more.

Now that i think of it. If the canis helix can be implanted only on humans from fenris, where did all the terra-born legionnaires that composed the legion before the discovery of russ come from?

>Space Wolves get wiped out

One of my longtime favorite Chapters get destroyed forever.

>Space Wolves win against all this bullshit

Space Wolves then become the Maryest of Mary Sue chapters and overshadow even the Ultramarines in terms of Suedom.


I just can't win.

Dark Angels are a lot more fun when you play up the "They might be traitors" angle. Played straight, they certainly are obnoxiously broody.

Really puts DA players and space wolves players in the uncomfortable position of fearing their chapter no longer existing in a book or two.

This whole thing is a bad idea.

>>46253163

given the backlash of AoS, and how every major event they do turns into a stalemate, I doubt very much anything significant will happen. Even the End Times was just an excuse to remove finecast and old lead models.

No one said that it can be implanted only on them, they just react better to it because their ancestors were implanted with it when they colonized fenris

Dark Angels are one of the funnest chapters simply because they can be fluffed into fighting any force.

Besides aren't the Angels and the sons of Russ two of the most popular chapters?

>>46289079
No only them since wolf brothers failed
It seems to be a reaction to finding Russ and fenris
Legions used primarch Dna to fast forward their implantation which is how we get 200000 marines in the biggest legions in less than 100 years
Downside is this exaggerates aspects of the geneseed especially on more insane aspects of primarch personality
So dark Angels more paranoid and secretive ravenguard less bloodthirsty but more sneaky iron warriors bigger losers

Only we also both have thousand dollar Bret armies. We know the taste of fear.

I feel bad for you mate. At least they'll live on in Total War: Warhammer. Which even then isn't much but it's something.

Also in Mort,
>This is the Death whose particular sphere of operations is, well, not a sphere at all, but the Discworld, which is flat and rides on the back of four giant elephants who stand on the shell of the enormous star turtle Great A’Tuin, and which is bounded by a waterfall that cascades endlessly into space.
Scientists have calculated that the chance of anything so patently absurd actually existing are millions to one. But magicians have calculated that million-to-one chances crop up nine times out of ten.

>>46291183
The studio is mostly filled with giant Chaosaboos or Muhreenfaggots. Depending on who has the upper hand, one side is winning. Problem is that it's the Imperiums game to lose, so every Chaos Victory permanently eats away at it, barring retcons.

Nobody really gives a shit about the other races, unless it's the Tau's or Eldar's turn to bring a cashboost.
>>
>>46291183
Because GW and BL are stuffed with edgy faggots who want their faction to win, even though it's anticlimactic as fuck (see: The End Times)

The books are set in M32, so there are possibly still original IF marines in other successor Chapters, not to mention all the Dorn geneseed still laying around on Terra.
And they aren't fakes if you compare them to 40k IF. The Marines that took over the IF name after the Legions were broken apart had a different culture than 40k IFs. There is no mention of bone writing, Marines all have a nickname depending on their personality or combat style and they are ultra autistic about cramming in as much as possible references to them being staunch siege defenders.

Though if you're talking about loyalist legions exclusively you may have a point. Doesn't make em' any less snowflaky though.

Also add World Eaters, they take "run stupidly into enemy fire and then win" to the next level.

Its annoying how hard BL is trying to push the whole "Guys, Wolves are sooooo scary! Be very afraid of them! WHOOOOOOO" when we have legions like the World Eaters, Night Lords, and Blood Angels that really are far more aggressive and destructive, and are more numerous.

Its no reason that they are such sue's, If they were just viking marines with complete loyalty to the emperor that would have been fine but they write them like they could solve the entire HH by themselves, then hand wave all the failure they suffer.

No they weren't. You're basing their entire persona off of one photo and 1 uniform variant when there are at least 10 to contradict your claim that they were "badass" with "attitude".
