I always loved the sense of honor the Space Wolves have, even if it is sometimes hypocritical or twisted.

I just finished reading The Emperor's Gift, and man, as much as I love the Grey Knights, the Wolves come out looking awesome. Definitely a great chapter.

A primaris chapter of the line of Russ loses all communication, investigation is launched and all there is, is nothing, the fortress is abandoned, the armory is empty, and no sign of the chapter remains, there were signs of a warp gate, and signs of ritualistic totems and carvings found around the area. The wolves of Fenris were asked to determine what the totems and carvings were, and they all remained silent, for the missing chapter were off doing their duty, but in the company of the 13th

The Warp is another reality, not just a place. The Chaos deities can't just forcibly impose mutations on entities, especially ones as powerful as a Primarch who is linked to the anathema in the form of the Emperor. We know he used Warp energy to help craft them, and that's why they take on different forms while in the Warp: Corvus becomes a teleporting nightmare shadow monster, Vulkan becomes a full-blown dragon, etc., but when they reenter this reality, they have no changes to their physical form. No mutations remain. The Warp isn't the cause of mutations in beings who don't themselves offer some sort of surrender to the Warp. It's very shallow and unfounded (and definitely not canonical) thinking that a lot of fans of the universe adopt when they claim traveling through the Warp automatically leads to permanent corruption and mutation. This is how Abaddon, who vehemently rejects demonhood (as did Horus), has been able to maintain his Astartes form and armor despite thousands of years in the Warp. There has to be some element of surrender, and a relationship or contract for the Chaos deities to actually affect the physiology of living beings. This is why the Warp is not the explanation for the Wulfen, and no, Leman Russ would not emerge from the Warp as a giant wolf monster just because he was in there for thousands of years. Although time passage is another abstract element of the Warp... He is the one the Emperor himself said, "Will never turn from me." He may appear as a wolf in Warp space, but he would still just be Russ once he came back out. At least if GW were sticking to their own canon when they go to produce his plastic model. /rant

I believe the Wolf Preist made a judgment call, and rightly so IMHO. on the most esoteric level, an ally in battle should never be condemned. I personally believe that at some point in time, Russ will meet up with the 13th as they wander through the Eye of Terror. Perhaps they will assist him in his quest before returns for the Wolftime. There are other short stories and tales of members of the 13th. I've read a couple but can't recall the titles or where my paperbacks are right now. They have been cut off for over 10,000 years. They make do with whatever they can scavenge after a battle. The Wolf Preist made the right call. They need as much support as can be given for them to do what lies in their hearts...to battle for Russ and the All Father. Even if that support is misdirect a Commissar to another location so their unseen allies aren't mistaken for the enemy. Who's to say? Maybe one day in the far future, during the Wolftime, ALL of the Sons of Russ will be reunited with the Great Wolf himself and through their deeds have new sagas extolled about the strength of the pack, together and united for all time, ever after.

If the Wulfen had been killing loyal Imperium forces, they would’ve been put down. They only attacked the Iron Warriors, so…

I seem to remember that in the old days the Canis Helix and specifically the curse of the wulfen made the space wolves immune to chaos corruption. Anyone remember where this came from?

Keep up the good work. Tragic tales are what 40k is all about. The lines between light and dark are never as clean as we would like, so that is what makes them so relateable.

The thriteenth great company is literally Doomguy status at this point. Living in the warp bringing the Rout to chaos planets. The only thing they fear is you levels of rip and tear.

The "new sons of russ" chapters still have an original Great Company at their core please make this canon

Just remember Dulan and the Lion keeping this secret for himself. Every Legion has its flaws and many of them keep being loyal to the emperor.

I presume the Wolf Priests see Wulfen in the same way the Dark Angels see the Fallen. The Space Wolves are already on a short leash as far as the inquisition is concerned and no doubt many would use the presence of the Wulfen as a sign of damnation within the chapter

Loyalty to the pack, first and always. He lied to protect the pack from ignorant would-be hunters.

"forced to lie" 😏 okay buddy

Yaaaaaaaaay! Space Wolves week!!!!! Let’s talk Logan Grimnar sprinting in Terminator Armor!! Greatest Space Marine Warrior ever! Wounded a primarch!

I think they should use their wulfen, maybe give them the grey warden calling? An exile take as many with You as You can kind of deal

Inside every space wolf, there are two spirits. One is a wolf, and the other is a wolf.

It's always a good day when wolf lord rho uploads ^^

My fave characters in the Ragnar series is Ragnar and Sven. Ragnar is my fave up there with Bjorn and I would love them to bring Kasper Hawser out of deep freeze.

When Ross returns the thirteenth company will return home. That is a fact 13 are all hero’s end story.

Considering the Wulfen didn’t target the space wolves and in fact saved them from the Iron Warriors, you can assume the Wolf Priest made a good call. Who knows how many imperial lives they saved still honoring the Emperor and their Primarch

I think for the space wolves and the 13th company and Russ, it's going to be a battle like crazy. They basically halted the wolves storyline after Ashes of Prospero. So, I think they're preparing the space wolves for THE WOLFTIME, already they've seen significant growth, but there is a possibility that that growth will be stopped and maybe trimmed back. The chapters could be wiped out one by one and forced to make a defense on some distant battlefield, Fenris could be rendered defenseless and what's left of the chapters make a jump all the way into the Wheel of Fire, which is where they will make their final stand

Could you do 1 with all the flaws of all the legends. Like we know wolf's, dark angles, and the blood angles, but do all of the legends/primarks have flaws ????

Thank you rho :)

hey Ro. i think i remember that in Wolfsbane when Russ go on his journey in the warp, before going after Horus, we see him talking to Morkay. The great demon wolf. from what i can remember Russ and Morkay might be the same being from how they talk, but we dont get somthing concrete as it fades awey in the end. But then it might make sense that if half of Russ´ soul is that of a great beast from the warp. then it will also make sense with how warp resistens the wolfs are comparet to the other legions. Then are the wolfen just more conectet to Russ´ legacy... its is just at thought but then agian if all the Primachs were made with a part of a soul form a creature in the great ocean(The Warp). then that might give os some information on some of the "Flaws" that some of the Legions had, and why some were alot bettere then others to specific tasks.

I don’t think the inquisition would stand a chance against any of the first founding chapters. An attack on them would be an attack on all. This is especially true now that they have all been reinforced. I can imagine them trying to move on Ultramar… that would end in abject failure. As many have said here, every legion has their own flaws, have made mistakes, and have their secrets. The fact remains that there would be no Imperium without them. The inquisition is far from what Malcador intended. It’s more likely the inquisition would be hunted to extinction outside the sole system if they start attacking founding chapters.

They could be welcomed home if they turned up on Fenris with Leman Russ. After all would the great wolf put them to death if Russ was with them.

Let’s discuss if they were at Terra during the Seige!!!

Wulfrick the Wulfguard of the Space Wolves

The first space wolves came from Terra. The Fenris thing makes no sense. Unless they say you have to be RH negative or a certain mutation like blue eyes or sickle cell.

I would definitely watch CSI Fenris.

Fenrys Hjolda

Love the wulfen, feel sorry for them though

The inquisition would fail. With the blue boys being one of the most well know chapters, they would have allies as well.

Love the wolves always have from the very first metal box sets I purchased all them years ago, love your vids m8ty keep going strong.

Space werewolf’s. Is what spacewolves are.

Could the Inquisition purge an entire chapter of Space Marines like the Ultramarines for a Secundus? How would they do it?

DIGGANOBZ!!!!

There are no wolves on Fenris... at least not any more *laughs in dust*

Rune priest consorting with warp demons.

wolf day is good day

Here’s a challenge: Take a drink every time the word “wolf” is said

Wolf business is wolf business.

YES , the wolves know the,emperium is messed up

I use to play space wolves in second edition. And third edition. But i play death guard. Noooooooooow !

They fight the enemies of the corpse emperor. They did nothing wrong by lying

Twist it was russ himself killing the iron warriors the 13th are just his body guards thats why they are hiding.

It's seldom a good idea to tell the truth to the Inquisition

See Dark Angels? You can do your thing without sheeding blood of the loyal and Innocent people of the Imperium

I’m just saying the space wolves and dark angels are twins like their primarchs.

This werewolf bit is so stupid, I miss them being just space vikings, rather than the counter to the Blood Angels.

The flaws are not flaws. They are strengths purposely put into them. Each legion has a reason to exist. Cawl just made it more stable as to not mutate random bs things. Thirst will always be the thirst. The black rage was imprinted on all geneseed of sang. Canis helix 🧬 is a space wolf. It is what separate them from everything else. My speculation is that Russ and Bjorn both knew that you had to come from fenris otherwise you would degenerate into wolf and elsewhere it’s something within the planet sphere of Fenris is what makes the canis helix stable enough. Sang hid the thirst from everyone, da his the fallen, why. Not hid this? It’s right up in there as each legion as it’s own secrets. This is the primary reason russ fought it. Do you really think during the scouring that he would admit that his Gene seed has a flaw to all of his brothers as they’re chasing the traitors? They would turn on him quickfast and in a hurry. All great wolves have this knowledge. In sure Bjorn fixed the young pup with the information he gleemed from days long past.

I'm semi new to 40k but ngl, I don't particularly like the Space Wolves over any other loyalist Legion, but this guy makes them seem so interesting, but on other random vids, the Wolves come across as mid as hell LOLLL. Only that OG in a walking coffin guyof the space wolves is consistently goated even on random vids about him.

You mean digganobz ?!

As a massive space wolf fan this story makes 0 sense. The when the space wolves find out about the wulfen returning they set out to rescue them the dark angels find out attack fenris as they’ve been tricked by the shape changer and the grey knights rules them uncorrupted. This all happens pre 13th black crusade

"Warriors loyal to the Imperium, who followed their Primarchs orders"... oh you mean The Thousands Sons? Face it, the Wolves deserve everything coming to them for Prospero.

Ah the wolves, the ultimate hypocrites.

Don't compare this to Imperium Secundus. The Imperium was thought destroyed, and let's not forget the Blood Angels and Dark Angels were DEEPLY involved. Roboute Guilliman sought to preserve Humanity. Sanguinius became the Imperial Regent; and El'Jonson, still bitter in his childlike jealousy, sought to become Warmaster. If you're going to go there, get the story straight. The 13th should be hunted to extinction, as should the Chapter.

I dont really like the wolves. Its makes me laugh to see their stupid new dog helmets and to hear Russ is now called The Lord of winter and war. LOL Lord of winter and war. LOL
